Silo. (open access)

Silo.

Patent for a feed storage building that allows silage to be discharged from bottom, removing the opportunity for air and spoilage organisms to affect remaining feed when silage is removed. A screw- or auger-like conveying device moves feed downward and eliminates the need for multiple points of door or window access in upper portions of the silo.
