Family history stories suggest my grandfather may have put up one of the first Harvestore silos. Somewhere I remember reading that there were 3 initial demo Harvestores and one was in Jefferson county, WI. What I do know is that the first silo on his farm was replaced due to glass lined failure, sometime in the 50's. The silo was filled the last time by my grandfather in 1969. I rented the farm in 1979 and fed that hay silage to cattle. I refurbished the silo and filled it with high moisture corn. I remember filling that silo with an Allis WD, pulling the wagon, and an Allis WD 45 on the blower. Since the WD came out in 48, and the WD45 came out in 53, questions remain on what year that silo was put up. An aerial 1953 farm photograph shows the silo and the self unloading wagons my father had built. My grandfather's farm life saw the transition from horse to tractor. Oh how I wish I had been more interested in history 50 years ago and asked my granfather more questions. I would love to know how they filled the wood stave and HUGE mortar and stone silos with horses.
