Taking Down The Tallest Farm Silos In Wisconsin (132x30)

My uncle lives in central Wisconsin. He used to tear down silos. I never got to see how he did it but he did it for many years. Now he is a truck driver and will be retiring in a few years.

Why did you take down the silos? I'd love to have them.

Those were the 2 biggest silos I have done so far in 30 years done over 5000 silos

Chambersburg pa. Sollenbergers, they are from near me and been doing silos forever. Great company to build your silo!

Why was fill pipe at 90' on that big silo? Where were these located?

What’s up they only got like 20 years less Out of the silos!

Using bunkers requires an incredible amount of manual labor compared to upright silos. Also plenty of rotten silage under the plastic. What a waste tearing them down.

The guy in the skidsteer had balls of steel or very little brians or both

Why not fill them with high moisture corn? Seems like a waste of money to tear down 2 good silos

A little bit of duck tape 😂😂

What a colossal waste of money

What a shame

I thought the wreckage of the first Silo wouldn't leave anywhere but the building for the wreckage of the second silo to settle. But stuff like that is so hard to predict, and honestly the damage in minimal. I hope you stabilized the shed, as soon as you could though.

Those windmills sure are ugly

Yah silo"s are kinda a thing of the past.

You figure that damage will buff out?

Building the silos today would be around $200,000 each. How stupid to take them down. Look at.”” 10th generation farmer.”” YouTube channel. They just built 3 24 foot. by 132 foot silos had a cost of $150,000 each. They are now putting in a robot feeding system. It will feed out of the three silos and seven grain bins. You just destroyed $400,000 worth of silos and equipment. If you didn’t want to use them, just leave them set. It’s not like they were concrete Stave Silas, which leak like a sieve. These were the best concrete silos that money. Could buy.

Does the company who took down the silos pay for the damage to the shed?

And this is why you get professionals. Would have saved the shed…..

I wouldn't worry too much about the shed. As a former farm kid, I don't think it's anything a little Bailing twine and duct tape won't patch up.🤡
