<P> A silo ( from the Greek σιρός -- siros , `` pit for holding grain '' ) is a structure for storing bulk materials . Silos are used in agriculture to store grain ( see grain elevators ) or fermented feed known as silage . Silos are more commonly used for bulk storage of grain , coal , cement , carbon black , woodchips , food products and sawdust . Three types of silos are in widespread use today : tower silos , bunker silos , and bag silos . </P>
