Eastern Half of Kansas | Those never had roofs. It’s just fine in drier climates. I’m eastern Kansas but I estimate roofs started in early 60’s but that’s long before my time. We have 3 on farms. Dad and Gpa filled one in 80’s and maybe 1990. It didn’t have unloader so it was fork down also. 2 different neighbors filled open tops in early 2000’s I think some of them had unloader.
So I’m told in 50’s 60’s 70’s small silos they setup blower pipe and took down every fill. Usually once a year for corn or sorghum. As silos got taller, roofs, and people got lazy blower pipe got left on silo or installed permanently as silo was installed. | |
