The silo is not leaning....yet. It is creepy being around the thing, but something needs to be done, don't want it to fall on the barn. We filled it 2 years ago not knowing it was this bad. We did get a quote from Osakis silo Co. and he recommended the concrete with a mound of fill in the middle if we wanted to save it. Jet creting the whole bottom would not be feasible he said. It will cost $7,000 to plaster/shot crete the entire thing. We do put up 1-3 bags per year as well, but its nice to have a silo around yet too. As mentioned their is a heck of a concrete curb around the exterior base that I believe is holding it up/ keeping it straight, the north 30-40% appears-looks pretty solid yet.
