nw NC | If the inside surface of the concrete stave silo is in good condition and not damaged by silage acid (causing the silo to be a risk to use), get a top unloader and use the silo. Think of this; 500 tons or more of feed in a 20 foot circle of real estate compared to the amount of ground needed for enough area for same tonnage as determined from chart below. Plus upright silo has a roof, and no mud and snow to fight feeding from it during poor weather conditions. No possibility of varmints tearing open the side of a concrete silo like they could a plastic bag. No plastic junk to dispose of each year. I sold silage to a neighbor from my field, chopped it using my equipment. He rented a bagger and he and a helper did the filling. Made good quality feed but the muddy mess which quickly developed was a problem for feeding. I would never want bags if there was a usable upright available.
