Liquid fertilizer storage

[farmaholic]

I do understand farming, but what does liquid fertilizer have to do with commodity marketing? Shouldn't it be under Crop production?

Fertilizer is a commodity?

I don’t know. Maybe the same thing your herbicide resistance thread had to do with marketing. So get off your high horse.

What does any of this have to do with marketing?

because it is of interest to about 90% on here
political cut and paste drivel is of interest to about 10% on here

Fertilizer bin with liquid valve on the bottom. Put a slide on it after ten years and use it for grain or granular. Sell at auction for 90% of paid dollars?

A guy in this community had one fail. Don't know why or what happened.

Are they engineered to bear that weight. What is the bulk density of wheat versus liquid fert.

I would think they would have to be engineered for that.

I don't think the bin collapsed but leaked a bunch out.. not sure if the valve failed or the seal.
Just don't call Environment Canada after the fact.

Stainless tank(s) is the way to go. They are priced similar or even less then poly. Having the ability to take advantage of early pricing/delivery discounts makes it at least the same price as AA or Urea.
I don't think resale is an issue. A few years ago I was looking for some more storage and followed a couple different SS tanks at auctions. They all went for close to new price. So we just bought new tanks.

Then why not use the crop production thread? Make the Topic work for you, keep the actual cropping discussions in the crop topic. Why are you so afraid to use more then one topic?

Too bad no one here is an administrator concerned about organization, the only concern is showing you ads.
