I'd be happy enough to see someone like you who has no more room take out a few load and spread it sensibly as opposed to letting it flow over the tank. It's the guys who are emptying their whole tanks this week that would bother me. You don't really have much option unless u have a neighbour who will take a few load into their tank for you?

EDMONTON - A lack of snow this winter is raising concern for Alberta’s agriculture industry.
“We need snow and we need it badly,” said Alberta Agriculture Minister Evan Berger on Wednesday.
In his Nanton-area constituency, wildfires fanned by wind along snow-free grasslands destroyed homes and farm buildings last week.
“In southern Alberta, it’s serious in the water front. We’ve never lost a crop before in January but we do need that replenishment,” Berger said, adding other areas of the province have also received below-average snowfall.
“I’m cautiously optimistic that it will all resolve itself.”
Humphrey Banack, president of the Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, said he is concerned about lack of snow insulation on winter and perennial crops.
“If we don’t have some snow cover, the alfalfas and winter wheats for production next year will be hurt, and we’re talking about very cold weather moving in next week and that frost and cold will damage those crops and their viability going into the spring,” he said.
Banack said there is still time for enough precipitation to fall to provide moisture.
“We can see a heavy snowfall and rain through March and April.
“The biggest thing is we need four to six inches (10 to 15 centimetres) of insulating snow on our perennial crops.”
