I'm looking to store around 100 ton of feed wheat for the year, so I was thinking of an outdoor silo. Is this a good idea or are they the work of the devil?

They are not very versatile is my thought, and it is auger in/out which is a pain.
How do they price against a small building, which would at least be useful if have a divine inspiration and sell at top of market for November one year and do not need long storage.

A silo seems like a much cheaper option if I can find one secondhand, and I can add another one if needed, rather than having to build a bigger building now to future proof

I'll end up filling it with cows.
At least I can't do that with a silo

You won't get vermin in a silo either. We used to have simplex silo at homeI'll end up filling it with cows.
A very cheap option for 50t - I have one left

Have a look on my website, "Equipment/spare parts for sale;silos and feed hoppers."
A bit more than £500, but we will erect one.

just a thought that might help - its 50t with the hopper bottom in it, you could remove the hopper bottom and gain another 20t capacity if you prefered

Someone would then have some exercise shovelling it out.

Far cheaper than a fitness club membership- we shovel out 7 silos every year - no pain no gain!!!
