Anyone who has grown a lot of grain in the fields in Farming Simulator 22 will sooner or later ask themselves where you can store the wheat, millet, barley or oats. Storage not only makes sense if you use the grain to feed the animals and want to store it temporarily, but also in order to achieve higher sales prices outside of the harvest season, you need a silo to store the grain safely and dryly. In this guide we show how you can build a silo in the LS22, fill it with grain and empty it again.
Buy and build a silo
Depending on which map you start on in Farming Simulator 22, there are usually one or two silos on the farm. Of course, you can purchase additional silos at any time, provided your virtual account balance allows it. The silos can be purchased via the construction mode (Shift key + P key) under “Buildings” and “Silos” as well as “Silo Expansions”. The silos from the manufacturer Unia can be filled relatively easily as described below, for the silos from the manufacturer Meridian you still need a screw conveyor.
- Unia FARMA 400 + OBI 1000 – 400,000 l – 117,000 euros
- Unia FARMA 500 + OBI 1000 – 500,000 l – 125,000 euros
- Unia FARMA 800 + OBI 1000 – 800,000 l – 147,000 euros
- Meridian FLAT BOTTOM BIN 3608 – 980,000 l – 72,000 euros
- Meridian FLAT BOTTOM BIN 3609 – 1,100,000 l – 84,000 euros
- Meridian NL16-22 2000 – 2,000,000 l – 198,000 euros
- Meridian NL16-22 6000 – 6,000,000 l – 503,000 euros
- Meridian NL16-22 16000 – 16,000,000 l – 1,245.00 euros
There are also silo extensions that can be used to expand the storage capacity of the silos. The silo extensions simply have to be purchased close to the existing silos and the capacity is increased.
Fill and empty the silo
The simple silos can be filled more easily with a tipper or directly with a thresher via the pipe. To do this, simply drive/stand over the unloading point and the message “Start overloading” should appear on the screen. To empty the silo again, you can drive the tipper/trailer under the silo and when you are properly positioned under the pipe, “Start filling” appears and you can select the desired grain from the silo and empty it.
