[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1811503, member: 42463"] I've stored grain in all kinds of things. Everything from old wooden buildings built specifically for grain storage to corrugated, galvanized commercial bins, plastic garbage cans, hundred year old wooden bins held together with hand made nails, nylon bags, paper bags, plastic buckets, steel or tin cans... you name it. It seems like everything has a downside and often convenience isn't the best idea. I've had mold, mice, damp, and heat damage my feedstocks. And sweet feed has different requirements than dry feed. I'm wondering if any of you have any tricks or preferences to storing grain that I or others here haven't tried and maybe you would be willing to share. I don't know why but I've always found grain/feed fascinating. I remember trying to keep mice out of the old wooden bins by patching over the holes with tin can lids when I was six or seven. The local grain store would sew up little 4x6 bags to give to any kid that came in, and I would accumulate some and load them on my toy trucks and had a lot of fun playing with them. Any knowledge or stories are certainly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
