Straw in water troughs from straw blower.

Thanks everyone. Some good ideas...

• Lids
• Sieve floating straw dust off top of water
• Smaller water troughs

Next problem is stopping dust getting through Yorkshire boarding, and critically, covering Mrs Grass And Grain's car . She hasn't noticed yet - dry windy days have blown the dust off. Not looking forward to car covered in condensation, and straw stuck on like Papier mache.

sounds like here, the house is slowly getting insulated as well, had to buy mrs thorpe a window vac.

150 I would think. UK distributors are useless.

They look good, but it did cross my mind about getting spare parts.

We have ditched the fancy plastic ball valve in one of ours and put a brass one in. Biggest issue is getting the level low enough. They are quick to clean and the stainless is holding up better than galv. The last two troughs we put in were plastic though.

Change it for a straw coloured car?

Won't need to change it, it's turning into straw colour all by itself

They are brilliant. As you say expensive but for delivering clean water I’ve yet to see better.

Could do with a "Best water troughs" thread. I guess there already is one. I'll have a search.

Edit. There are several water troughs threads
