Columbia Basin, Ephrata, WA		There is a place in western Kansas that believe is 160 acres of concrete. It was some kind of temporary air field in WWII or something. I may be wrong on the acreage but it was easily the biggest slab I've ever seen. The little sprayplane airstrip on it sure didn't occupy much of the space.

Fairbury, NE (Southeast)		There's an old air strip around here from WWII that has been a feedlot the last 30+ years or so. They use the runways as aprons, easily 80 acres of concrete left. Much of it was torn up years ago and farmed.
As to that pile of silage, I would be interested to see the seepage from that kind of pile. Wow.

Osakis,Mn		Neighbor of mine helped haul silage out there a few nights there last week. I think it's a part of Riverview Farms at Morris Mn. He said that dumping an end dump of silage along that pile, looked like a thimblefull !! I believe they milk 10,000 + cows there.

ND		That looks like a nightmare to keep the face used off of. In order to take a foot off a day that would be a lot of silage!

Osakis, MN

Do you have a paid for version of microsoft office?  If so Right click on your photo, scroll down and click on the "open with" box on the computer.  If you have a picture, edit it and find the area in the tabs that says resize, scroll down until you find one that says large web, small web, email link etc.  click the one that says less than 200K I use the large web photo.  You need to save your changes to the photo then use that newly saved picture in the upload pictures tab on Agtalk.  Easy right!  I tried to use your photo from facebook must be from a droid phone.  It was too big, I needed to resize it.  You might be able to resize the pictures right on the telephone before posting I don't know. I enjoy all your pictures on Facebook, makes me wish I took more pictures!

nw NC		How much area do you think that pile covers? How deep do you think that pile is? They may have poured 40 acres of concrete for a lot of purposes , but there is not 40 acres covered by silage in that picture.
I did some calculating. At book figure of 40 lbs corn silage per cubic foot, requires 50 cubic feet per ton .
200,000 tons x 50 cu ft = 10,000,000 total cu. ft.
If silage was piled an average :
10 feet deep it would require an area of 22.96 acres .
20 feet ............................................. 11.46
25 feet .............................................. 9.19
30 feet .............................................. 7.66
40 feet .............................................. 4.60
I've checked and rechecked my calculations and I believe calculations are correct.

No wonder they call that region of SD the "dairy corridor"!
