(e) Management
Although success with any storage structure is highly dependent on following proper management principles, still the degree of management skills and attention required varies somewhat with the different types of structure. Up to a point the more expensive the structure, the less particular the management level has to be.
(f) Length of Time in Business
The length of time a farmer intends to carry on farming may influence the type of silo most suitable for the situation. For example, a farmer with only a few more years until retirement should probably think in terms of a lower cost, less permanent type of structure than a younger farmer with many marc years ahead of him.
