[gregpet]

You are right about bullet holes, but my insurance company had no issues with our fuel storage.

Boucin'Checks unlike you, us Farmers wit Cash in da Bank like to buy our inputs long before we need dem. Got to store da product somewheres. Save Big Moneys buyin' ahead, but you must like bendin over at Viagra, Angrium, & Richersuns....

Sixty tousand bushels of flax in one bin??? Piece of Piss fer Me to Manage. Listen carefully, Reed between da lines. Called Temp. Cables, & more den gist one fer that size bin. Also have to git off da Couch once a week to check dem. Kin you's Manage???

I was talking with a friend tonight who talked of hedging Diesel prices by going in the futures market buying Fuel oil contracts, and using the carry in the market to hedge.

Same friend said his fuel supplier talked of not as much difference in energy in summer and winter fuel as their used to be. Does anyone know if this is true?

Has anyone looked at underground fiberglass tanks?

Like many inputs it all depends on when you buy. Not real good to save a penny a litre if your buying wrong.

Is it better to buy 10 x1000 gallon tanks strung togeather than 1 x 10000
one supplier said that was a less expensive option. Can they still be bottom filled

thanks for taking the time to read, and hopefully answer.

Im checking out some buddies farming in the the US who were able to lock in the price of diesel ahead of the season without having to take delivery. Id rather do this than have many thousands of gallons on hand. I will let you know what the story is.

That was funny BT of arm 'em all. Just try to remember that this isn't the Wild West anymore.

Also, be careful climbing your bins. That big tete you carry will change your center of gravity!

My flax is fine, and it doesn't require temperature cables, or anyone getting off the couch to climb bins. I'll let your big hat ponder that one!!

Uhhhhhh obviously you ain't ever been around Temp. Cables, don't got to climb da Bin. Also my bins got stairs, quite easy to climb. Work for You's!!!!!!
