    Not sure but maybe you could negotiate a non cleaned price. They could do it for cheap less hassle for you they could use the by product probably a wash on making money with weights but maybe with mini bulks they wouldn't want that. But out the bin into a mini bulk would sure save pissin around.

      Not all grain is exported commercially clean, Even tho we clean it they sometimes add dockage back in before shipping.
      Think ov the deer shit fiasco. That was cleaned then added back into shipment.

      Oh and lots of grain is shipped directly into domestic mills before cleaning even tho we pay for it to be cleaned.

            I have been toying with that same idea. Wouldn't gain very much going to 40' container. Two 20' is a superb load. Some of the trucks they have hauling are tandem axel trailers. I hope it works well for you.

              The reason you use 20 is because they can be hauled by a tri axle trailer... a 40 loaded to max would require special trucking and be way more expensive.


              Large containers usually are used to haul less dense material...


              This is how most lentils peas and chickpeas leave canada.


              We have a roller mill.... inherited it with the new place and started rolling oats selling it to horse people. Need more help but currently can get rid of 400 bu of oats a week and the price is insanely higher than elevator bid

                Klause,

                Good work. How do you manage the time to do all of this? You must have to be at the farm when the container arrives to empty the fertilizer and reload the totes of wheat.
