We had a silo that my grandfather built in the
early 1910"s. The staves were more like a
concrete block. It had a real nice texture on the
outside. I think these blocks would make a real
neat retaining wall today. My grandfather bought
the machine for making the blocks and built three
silos before selling the machine. The silo we had
on the farm had the window like openings as was
stated before. The hard part was the silo had a
pit that was about 12 feet deep. I remember
carrying a basket up a ladder full of silage and
then you had to carry it to each stall in the
barn. That was sure one way of getting your daily
exercise. A little trivia: I was told that when
silos were first introduced people thought that if
you fed silage from a silo that the cows tails
would fall off.
