I should have qualified that. They called them "glass" silos due to the coating on the steel. The thing you were calling the liner might have been the airbag. They would seal them up airtight so you could put high moisture corn or silage in them, and it would not start to heat and spontaneously combust. The airbag was for the expansion and contraction of the air as the outside air temp changed.

While watching the video I was able to determine that it had silage in it. Went over way to hard for an empty one. Saw one that the unloader had been removing product from only one side. Not good. the weight above(as they unload from the bottom) supported on one side with silage and not on the other caused the unsupported side to collapse. Worst of all it fell into another silo!

It was a stave silo, not a glass one, but 15 years ago or so, we shot one down at a guys place. 6-M1A's and a little over 500 rounds and down it came.

Why do people dislike these things so much now? Is it because of the bottom unloader?
My uncle has 2 that he doesn't like to use either. Thinking about filling them with grain corn someday, then all it has to do is flow out the bottom. Is there anything you need to worry about filling a 70 footer with shelled corn? (The other one is a short one.)
