Madison Co. Virginia | I've heard some stories of filling older silos here. Evidently the doors didn't seal very well. A roll of roofing paper(tar paper) was unrolled vertically over the doors on the inside. The man inside packing silage would installing doors and unrolling the paper as the silo filled. The man inside was guiding a flexible chute around the silo for proper silage distribution. It was made of conical aluminum chutes, each about a foot in diameter and 3 feet long, and hooked on each other to form a continuous suspended chute.
How common was this method of filling silo, of having somebody packing and distributing the whole time? Was that just a "here" thing? | |
