Silo #2 looks like the ones I built in Indiana and Kentucky for Madison Silos out of Markle IN in 1966-67. Having a hard time knocking in down, aren't they!! The checkerboard at the top is the Madison Silo mark. I moved upwards of 6000 30" concrete staves a week, each one weighing 77 lb. I was lean and mean in those days. Piece work. Very good money. I was the ground man, sending up the staves and then sitting in a bosun's chair under a block and tackle to tighten the hoops while the other two members of the crew installed the roof. When one of those staves got loose from the grabber, I would really jump -- was in the next county before it hit the ground. Biggest we built was 70' tall. Smallest was 40'. Quit after I lost my nerve on the 70 footer. Just too high for me in a bosun's chair.
Walter, you pay taxes on them. If it’s not being used it just costs you money. This one in particular was removed, as well as a barn and a house, to clear the path for large irrigation system on a pivot point.
I dropped a 14'X45' one time. It fell where I wanted it. I will never do another one. My luck didn't run out, but I thought I could see the bottom of the well. Not fun
