same here in Northern Indiana. alot in use alot not. there are alot of the poured concrete center unloading type here built in the early-mid 1970s. most of those are not is use.
Some use both bag and upright. didn't want to put up another silo so they feed out of bag in good weather and flip the switch and feed from the silo into an auto feed bunk. he feeds the bag into the same bunk and takes 10 trips with the skid loader to do it. A TMR would be another story of course.
one fellow fills the upright then builds a pile on the ground that is covered. then once the upright is empty about now they put the pile in the silo. i think they like flipping a switch to auto feed the heifers.
