Did they have any kind of screening to keep rats and other pests from entering the building through the holes in the block? Here in NC I have my Grandad's Corn Crib and Wheat House. Both buildings are totally lined inside with 1/4" hardware cloth.
There were a few round concrete cribs in MN that had small expanded metal over the holes, otherwise I've never seen corncribs with screening. Farms had lots of cats back then and they weren't fed Fancy Feast. Rodent control was their job.
I would like to send you a photo of a aco silo i came across between morton and redwood falls along the river on co rd 15 in renville County i believe. How could i send you this to see what youknow of this place before it is gone as it is in major disrepair
Solid job, thanks. (edit: fixed typo)

Wondering if it had a leg conveyor inside? Would have taken a very long flight elevator to get ear corn up to that cupola.
