here isa a good idera that a chap in england has used many times, First he decied which wah her wants the silo to fall, Working at the base, on the side inwhich the iol will fall, he knocks a hole in the base with a sledge hammer, after beating enough out to place a section of an railroad tie, about 3 to four feet high, he'll beat the tie in place, so that it fits tightly.
Thenb he will move in eighter direction, beating out the concrete, and sliding in another section of railroad tie ( or 6x6 ) then he will work on the other side of the first tie and place in another tie or timber. He'll work about 1/3 of the way aroung the silo, berating out the concrete, and beating placing the timbers inplace.
Once all of the timbers are inplace, he'll pile a large amount of firewood, near the timbers supporting the silo. He'll light fire wood, and stand back, way back. as the wood burns, it will burn the supporting timbers out, and once enough of the timbers have burnt, the silo will fall.... Just make certain that you stand far enough away that as the silo falls, and crashes to the ground, you won't get hit be the flying bebris...

Good luck and let us know which you decide to do it.
