    Checked out the farmer's corn, it will need a vacuum clean. I've located some plastic barrels with lids. Will have to look up the vacuum transfer CornVac system further......:smoke:

    I store my horse feed which is my own mix from the mill in old chest freezers.No moisture or mice get into them.Im not sure the size of this freezer were using.I imagine its about 6'long or so and hold a 1000k lbs.

    My neighbor puts his chicken feed in an old cooler in his detached garage that I'm sure has critters in it and no animals getting in.

    We bought at the elevator last year at market price of $3.59/bu as I recall. That's roughly $141/ton I think. Local prices appear to be $3.50/bu today.....good time to buy if you have the storage.

    I paid around $3.25 for the first load last fall, and I paid about $3.80/bu for the second load in mid winter.
