Silos are disappearing from the farm landscape. One woman wants to track them down before they do

Silos, a longstanding staple in the Corn Belt for 150 years, are now rapidly disappearing as modern farming techniques shift away from traditional storage methods. A passionate advocate is stepping up to document these structures before they vanish completely, recognizing their historical and cultural significance. This initiative underscores a broader trend in agricultural evolution and highlights the importance of preserving tangible links to the region's rich farming heritage. The push to record these silos also reflects a growing awareness of the need to conserve such cultural landmarks amidst rapid modernization.
