you could sideline in buying grain in and selling it on

 

[robs1]

I suspect more profitable uses for storage than using it for grain

A magic shed maybe.
Turning non-assured into assured

Ideally I want to keep it agricultural.

I'm sure you will find plenty of potential uses. Grain, woodchip, bulk fertiliser or feedstuffs?

are you far from a port

 

[chaffcutter]

Any mills local to you that may fancy some buffer storage?

 

[Flatlander]

As asked before. If your close to a port I’d consider putting in a colour sorter and clean out ergot to up grade rejected loads. Then store until they can be taken back. Could be a good sideline.

An hour,just over 40 mile.

Possibly.

Do the big storage firms rent buildings or own them?

Rent usually unless very big capacity I would say, Frontier use several medium size stores on farms near us, we used to store osr for them
fell out with the man we were dealing with tbh

What has been stored in it previously this is quite important ?

1/3rd had feed straights etc

Got for grain of more straights or fert?

Not just as straightforward as I’ve got a shed let’s ring a merchant / mill up and fill it
For combinable crops or straights off the docks you’ll need auditing to become TASCC assured and then yearly thereafter certain merchants / suppliers probably will want to audit it themselves as well
There could be potential issues with livestock on site or with what you’ve had in it previous like silage
Having a weighbridge is a big plus but this would have to be calibrated every year for trading standards
What sort of tonnage does the shed hold might be a lot of hassle for little reward there will be stock records etc to do as well as insurance to think of for stored product so quite a bit to think about
