That's a very clever tip!!! Thank you very much.

Shifting 3000t in 2 days you'd certainly know what you are talking about!!! No wonder you have melted wellies at that speed!!!

May I ask a bit more background please? 3000t is an ENORMOUS amount of fert (£0.75m at £250/t! o_O) Do you store it on behalf of someone......or is your surname Dyson? :LOL:

😆

3rd party storage for someone else unfortunately!

You can't store AN in bulk. Anyone who has left AN in a fertiliser hopper overnight will tell you what happens! Far too hygroscopic, not to mention the H&S implications.

I'd rather have 1t bags as they stack better but the hauliers prefer 600 kg to get the weight on a curtain sider.

I'm waiting for the Yara consultation on drone delivery to cut out the hauler ;)
