WCIL
A 30' diameter bin with 5-6 wide rings will get you 10-12K. We have a 5 ring and can get 12k in it heaped up. Depending on your harvest moisture, I would recommend several vents and a big fan like a 24 to 28". We regularly put 19-20% corn in heaped up (even 21 at times) and have no issues, but we check it and pull a core. Cheap drying. Also, if you want a spreader, I like the GSI gravity spreaders (the ones with a long chute that spins slowly). Put in at least 2 intermediate unload wells. Consider a round hole style floor as opposed to chisel cut. Much easier to sweep. Can go online and get concrete specs from the manufacturers, but probably going to be in the 6" range minimum for your bin, plus a rat guard footing.
