What do you do with a trench silo when you no longer need it? All fanners might take a lesson from R. Lee Payne who manages the extensive farm operation of William Lane in Rappahannock and adjoining area. The silo above, 300 feet in length, 24 feet wide and 20 feet deep with a concrete floor, has been turned into a hay storage facility. By cutting drainage ditches around it, and erecting a roof supported by used utility poles, it becomes a hay barn. Roof timbers were cut on the farm by farm help and a bargain in roofing tin was found, so the entire changeover was inexpensive and has been satisfactory. Mr. Payne terminated the use of silage by keeping fields for late grazing and by harvesting more than 75,000 bales of hay for feeding which is begun as late as February. His son, Kenneth Payne, oversees the cattle operation which consists of more than 3,000 head of Angus.
