tower silo

Tall farm storage

A tower silo is a tall cylindrical structure used to store silage—fermented fodder for livestock.

The vertical design compresses the material under its own weight, aiding fermentation and preservation.

Tower silos are a common feature of dairy farms: The old tower silo still stands beside the barn, though they use bunker silos now.
