Here, at long last, is a photo of our new grain bin, also known as a silo.  It holds 4.5 tons of grain and we order it 3 tons at a time.  The mill makes it per our specifications and this shipment of feed (that we are feeding to our poultry and hogs) should last us until the end of the summer.

It's pretty tall.  Just over two stories, I'd say.  It towers over our barn.  I was nervous that it might start tilting with the weight of the feed in there, but it still looks level and even.  They come to deliver it in a tractor trailer truck (all 18 wheels were there!).  Too bad that the kids were at school.  Liev would have absolutely LOVED seeing such a large truck in our driveway.
