Most of them are quite old - some over 100 years old - and starting to fall apart. Most dairy farms and feedlots have switched over to flat storage of silage, which is more efficient.
Older technology, more expensive to maintain, and inconvenient when they spontaneously fall on someone or some thing. Like a chimney on a house, the silo will rot and become unstable when no longer in use.
Ive seen a bunch of these videos. How do they clean up the mess? Try and stack the staves for reuse or scoop it with cat and dump it somewhere on the property?
Wow!!! So many things could go wrong
What I would like to know is why does everyone think that they have to destroy all of the these silos?
Thats a very good question.

Not used anymore and are in the way

some recycle .
Why start the hole up so high
Looks like fun
Guy should watch some Fred Dibnah videos.
Right where he was standing
The camera man had balls or was dumb enough to stick around. A+ camera duty
Probably the later
Great job!
Thanks!
Jesus......that looks like a dangerous job. What do they charge for that?
Whatever they charge it better be cheap , there all millionaires and nobody is gettin any of it,
Probably nothing. Most farmers do what they can, themselves. Just the way things are done.
Cool video
enjoy and like.
That was a quicky.
Imagine if you didn’t see it falling on you and you just get squished I just don’t like that
Code brown!
Has anyone ever been killed doing this 😢
