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.

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.
Perhaps I should start my own website!

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

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 ?

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