My Dad's first Silo for Corn Silage storage was a 10'x36' ,2"x6" Wood Stave Silo. These Wood Staves were Tongue and Grooved on the ends and sides and were interlocked together,standing vertical with Steel Compression Rings holding them in place.The next two were Concrete Stave Silos.Staves were about 12" wide and 24" long and stacked on top of each other and reinforced with numerous 1" Rods which were tightend together to keep the Silo round. About 1960 we started to see full Reinforced Concrete Silo's going up useing a slip form method of construction. Next was the Blue Glass Feed systems of A.O.Smith Corp,which was large bolted Fibreglass Coated Steel Panels which furnished an Oxygen free storage system. Now in the present era it is hard to find a Silo of any kind still standing and/or in use. LaSalle County ILL.Now is mostly Corn,Beans and Cancun or some other exotic Destination for the colder months.I know I am finding Wickenburg Az. very pleasant this time of year.JC
