    Hi does any have a link on rules for storage of bulk meal? In the absence of a bin what is allowable, are bulk bags or loose in a shed allowed as an example?:confused:

    far as i know only requirement is to exclude vermin, rats, birds etc.

    we stored meal loose in a barn last year. made walls with plywood boards held up with bulk bags full of timber. just put a sheet of builders plastic over it. horrible dusty when truck was blowing it into the pile. not the way i liked to do it but it worked and was cheap. would it stand up to inspection by borad bia etc i'd say not.

    Once you have vermin control in place and the feed under cover I think you would be fine
