    Hi,

    My father used to be the New England/NY Harvestore erector back in the 60’s. I went to work for him in 1962 at the age of 11 and worked for him every weekend, holiday and summer vacation until I was 16. I probably built 400 of those units. Fond memories.

    I recently attended the annual convention of the International Silo Association in Madison, WI. There I met some fellows from the Blue Tower Silo company, which I think is located in or near southern Indiana. They may be able to help answer some of the questions I see on this blog. Their phone number is 765-489-1336
    Good luck!

    I have been demolishing silos for the past 5 years in Indiana and the surrounding 4 states. The metal has some value but it is very difficult to dismantle. We have perfected the process as we have taken over 500 of them down. We are insured to $1 million. My advise is to not let just anyone take them down. You could lose the farm over it. If you have further interest feel free to call me at 765-789-8929.

    Is there any financial gain for removing silos (Harvestors) other than no more insurance or taxes? In other words, what is the cost of removal, or dollar gain of their removal?
    Thanks.

      To Jason Dauster, we have been storing dry corn and soybeans in 9 harvestores since the late 1960’s. Works great, except for a couple older ones leak at some seams so only temporary storage. If u have questions give me a call at 507-841-0756

    Am interested if anyone could give me approximate costs in dismantling a concrete stay silo, and moving to and erecting it at another location. Is there some formula based on height of the silo or other factors??
