Good luck with the sale. Ask a Camgrain member how easy it is to sell space when they are building it faster than demand!

That's why I put up my own shed.

We had no problem selling a decent tonnage at Woldgrain.

I don't know why these firms don't have a public and dedicated space on the website for members who wish to sell space... They could simply advertise space available and the asking price.

If its not public then it has to be advertised on a forum like this otherwise it won't sell at all.

At what price does storage per ton usually?

And that’s the problem with central storage. Promises at the start of high value storage that is an “investment” but once the penny has dropped it’s pretty difficult to get out of. In the meantime you find that you are locked into an obligation for the annual service charge even if you don’t use the space.

Can you not store caravans in your tonnage??

Perhaps I should start my own website!

I may have mentioned this in the past been a while since the last TFF central storage debate, count me out of this one

 

[teslacoils]

Got what we wanted for our storage. Plenty of buyers. No charge for unused space. Not all stores are the same.

 

[principal skinner]

How much per ton would that be then? Any ideas?

 

[Lincsman]

How much it it per tonne in CS and how does it compare with your own new building/tonne?

Building own 3000t on floor with drying and stirrers £250 / t.

Cheaper ways of doing it though.

If you want colour sorters, cleaners, driers,damping screws etc, CS looks good. Compared to a simple shed, that’s different.

All well and good but where’s the benefit in polishing up feed wheat?
When they have the equipment it tends to get used. At best that creates cost and weight loss for members without a tangible premium and at worst it is performed as a “contract” operation to generate revenue (from members) when it isn’t strictly necessary. Some might suggest it’s the equivalent of serviced agronomy in the grain storage business ?

Recent 2000t Silo setup out near Thurlow. Think even with the large pit it works out considerably cheaper.

Agree but silos have one use only. Flat floor with separate drier is very versatile

If it's feed only or oilseed rape then by all means keep it cheap.
