Best Answer

Assuming you can't get inside to measure across the silo:

-- Take a long tape measure or non-stretching twine.

-- Measure the distance around the silo (the circumference).

-- Divide the circumference by 'pi' ... 3.142 (rounded).

The answer is the diameter, within 0.02 percent.

How do you find the Volume of a Silo?

To find the volume of a silo, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the silo base and h is the height of the silo. Measure these dimensions and plug them into the formula to calculate the volume.


How is a silo filled up?

Normally with a silage blower. It's basically just a big fan, about three or four feet in diameter, powered by a tractor, that "blows" the silage from the wagon up to the top through a tube about six to ten inches in diameter. At the top of the tube, there is a curved chute that guides the silage back toward the bottom of the silo.
