Well Brian those old silos cost you money even just standing there. Mine run me about $100 each on the property tax alone. Then those "Cool" pigeons you like are disease carrying, flying rats. They crap in feed bunks and on equipment all over.

For the cost I can put a concrete pad in and use bags instead. Plus I have a lot more flexibility with the bags.
