Many of them do not have adequate silos. These farmers may make profitable use of trench or pit silos, which have a number of advantages, but at the same time a number of disadvantages. The trench silo is easily and speedily filled. The relatively low cost of construction is another of the advantages. And they can be 0 want what the forest service has to offer. The services recognizes summer home opportunities as one of the multiple uses for the national forests and provides sites for approved buildings. This may surprise many who have motored through national forests without ever noticing a colony of summer homes. That, in fact, is one of the features of the policy on summer home sites.

As for size, they can be made to fit the crop. However, one great disadvantage stands out. A great amount of feed can be spoiled if carelessly filled, compacted or covered. But due to construction costs, a tower silo is a major project o most farms these days.
