| GH11 The Square Silo |
Silos in
the late 1880’s were built square, but farmers discovered that air seeped into
the corners, causing the silage to spoil. Round silos eliminated air pockets,
so square silos were rarely built after 1900. This silo is located on a golf
course near Halton Hills, just west of Toronto,
on Leithfield No. 4 at Glencairn Golf Course, designed by Thomas McBroom. This
course is framed with golden fescue, rock fences, narrow streams (burns), dozens
of the deep dreaded pot bunkers and one square silo. The course is described as
“The closest you will come to Scotland,
without crossing the Atlantic.”
