Most likely the stuff stuck in there is no good, just leave it, it's sealing the hole
Or order a few tonnes of wheat feed pellets and machine gun it down

Have a wooden (Simms) bin which regularly gets nuts stuck in the corners and I have to climb in the top through a small trapdoor and hack away with a spade. I’ve learned from bitter experience that you have to wear a mask in there, it’s full of mouldy dust.
Yep, except we’ve taken the whole lid off ours so it’s much easier to get in and out

Agree it'll be no good for the cows, won't go through the conveyor anyway, but hope it's not a bin leak.

Only stuck on the North side (no sun and away from prevailing wet) so suspect condensation...
