This Guy Has a Problem

We were out on the ATV trails north of Belleville on Saturday. One last run before the snowmobilers have them. Came across this leaning silo. The first photo is from 2013 Google Street View looks like it has just started to lean. The second image was taken on Saturday. Wonder what hes next steps are? Can it be saved or clear a path in the fall zone?

It seems like it won't hurt too much and they might not use it, insured maybe?

If you know there is something wrong with it and you do nothing then insurance will not cover it, insurance covers the things that happen you are not aware of, things that are catastrophic and unexpected.

Obviously,the footings have shifted from ground collapse under the base. It's repairable,but,expensive......and very tricky. A friend tried to brace one from the underneath and pour another base. Because the ground couldn't support the weight,it shifted again after about two years. He eventually had to disassemble the silo and move it to more solid ground.
