Old Grain Bin
This is a corrugated metal grain bin or corn crib. I looked up what the difference is between a silo and a grain bin.
“Grain bins and silos do not store the same products.
Grain bins store dry grain that will be used for animal feed, human consumption, or fuel. This includes, but is not limited to: shelled corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds.
Silos store silage–typically something like green grass or chopped corn–which is fairly moist and is fed to livestock. The grasses or corn are more or less “pickled” so that they can keep for a long time and feed the livestock during dry seasons or other times when they have no other food to eat.”

This grain bin has not been used in a long time. It is missing the door and has a nice rusty patina on the roof. The top of the roof has holes for aeration of the grain. You will also notice that it is covered in vines, a critical point that I had missed (and it is my Group). Luckily, Vince Montalbano (autofocus) pointed it out to me!
