Here's more pictures of the pit under construction and answers to questions from last posts.
Pete how many acres, I don't know the total but he plants over 300 acres of corn and at least that much hay. I have also spread on other farmer's land who have land to far from there own barns. We use a Jamesway 4600 gallon tanker behind the 4960 and also a Volvo White truck with a 4000 gallon tank.
Butch, I don't know, I stay out of the barns
Matt The pit is being built by Central Concrete out of West Winfield he says he does work in the SE part of the county.

For some one like me who is not a "pro" builder... I assume all the walls are going to be backfilled on the pit, otherwise it would blowout a wall when full? Or can you intertwine enough rebar horizontally during the pour to make the walls strong enough not to backfill? Also, how tall are the walls? 14 or 16 foot?

Thanks,
Rick

It will be backfilled all the way around and a concretes pads 180 degrees apart for pumping out.
