Times have changed, but your setup was how we stored all of our wheat, milo, and barley. We had a hopper that fit under the removable door sections and when it got about waist deep we just put the auger through the door into the pile. Our auger wasn't huge so it worked well and the truck didn't have to be a mile away to auger that way. It was probably a 40 foot auger with a monster B&S engine on it. If you don't mind helping the last 15 bushels with a push broom it works great.
I never recall having spoilage. Western Kansas is pretty dry, though.
Now I have five 30 foot bins and they all sit empty. The only one I use is the big upright on legs for feed corn for hogs. The days of me storing much grain on the farm are done.

It looks like a big one and bean prices are tanking as bad as hog prices. I haven't tried using any of the augers in years. It might be time to test them out.
