Hi Evan, that was a mess! We have never had anything like that happen. I'm not sure why you had that much feed go bad. A few differences I can think of: We use heavy grade vinyl tarps, which are completely waterproof (different from old style canvas tarps or cheap big box store tarps, which you will see moisture droplets form on the bottom of). We always keep the wagons outside, and maybe that creates more airflow around them and minimizes surface condensation. But I know of other farmers that keep their wagons loaded inside during harvest season and don't have a problem. Maybe the key here is wagons stored inside often have no covering on them so the inside and outside temperatures stay equal and minimize condensation. Also, we use up the feed quicker and it rarely sits in the wagon more than a month, two months at the most. Fresh ground feed nutrient quality declines quite a bit during the first month after grinding, except when the temperatures are near or below freezing. I hope you can figure out what the problem is, best of luck.
Thanks, Pete. I also notice that your tarps are way larger and hang down the sides pretty far. Mine was definitely not big enough. It was outside for a few weeks, and we noticed moisture, then moved them inside. So, I'm not sure how much spoilage was from weather and how much from condensation. We will try a few things differently this year.
I wonder if there is some kind of coating for the inside to make it not stick as bad. Pete from Just a Few Acres might know a trick to help with waste.
@@dragonfarm2texas518 what do you mean inside? In bunker? I think that feed from factory had to be with very small percentage of humidity and that this should not happen. But it is a lot of factors included. Lesson learned for next time 🙂
There is. It’s called Slick Plate. Most ag equipment dealers sell it. I stored feed inside in a gravity wagon for several years before we bought a feed bin. I patched all the holes on the slanted surfaces with JB weld and applied slick plate to all the slanted surfaces. Also double tarped mine with a heavy canvas underneath and a waterproof vinyl tarp on top. The canvas tarp was secured with bungee cords and the vinyl tarp I tied to itself around the sides if that makes any sense. I would sometimes have feed in there for 6 months and never lost a bit to spoilage
When you started using the power washer I was thinking, why not use some sort of flat edge scraper thing first then power wash the remains afterwards. Lol Then you had the scraper deal. 👍🏻 Glad you had that tool handy! 🙂

You can get used bins at auctions. You just need to look them over well before bidding. Small bins (1-3 ton) are easy enough to move with a loader tractor. Problem you will have would be to have a place where the feed truck can get to them any time of year, AND still be able to have feed close to where you need it. They do make feed wagons that work great for feed, drawback being price. Company out of Georgia makes them for deer feed 1.5-3 ton wagons, completely covered tops with port for filling at the mill. They have a chute in the back to fit 5 gallon buckets underneath. Small wagon to Indiana was $3500 plus 500 freight. I do know some companies make roll over tarps for wagons, like you see on grain trucks. There just isn't a cheap solution, but you'll need to do something to prevent the feed loss and possible damage the rotting feed will do to the wagons.
I never had any luck storing shelled corn in a gravity wagon even at around 13% moisture. I would park it in a dry pole building,but I think the warm and cold would condensate the first inch or two against the steel. The funny thing is I would keep about 80 or so bushel in my grinder mixer and it would be ok. But then again it would only set in there a couple weeks at a time.
Same. Each time I ground feed, I make an extra batch, once the feed bin was full- then just park the grinder/mixer. The Great Sin, was to leave that empty. We had an 80 cow milking herd, plus replacements, dry cows, and a bull to feed. Grain not only got fed twice a day in the tie stall barn, it also went into the silage mix we fed in the bunkers. That bin emptied out fast. I usually made feed twice a week, so it never sat long in the hopper.
The best way to learn is always by doing something and then realizing you could have done it better another way. Been there done that and I did enjoy seeing you doing it and not me. You will do fine next time. I do have a slight suggestion, maybe put a tarp on the ground under the wagon and containers so that you can pull the small stuff to the compost pile. Take care and thanks for the video.
Pete from Just A Few Acres Farm did a segment that included some real good info on how he stores his feed. I remember him saying the cover he uses is special and eliminates condensation. He keeps his outside too. Check him out.
Once you have the inside of the feed wagons clean and dry, Could you coat and seal the inside of the feed wagons, Some type rubberized sealant material After watching you work on these wagons I realize these wagons were made for dry season crop transport, Good luck. Enjoy watching your videos,
I don't understand why you got moisture. I have a gravity wagon, buy 3000 lbs at a time of "5 way" from the co-op. I cover the top with a tarp and park it in the barn. No issues with it going bad. Yet, anyway.
Every day is a life lesson. I watched when you fixed up and painted the wagons my first thought was are you going to put a clear coat with a hardener over the paint so the grains would slide out Easier or maybe a air viberator to the side but with that much moisture that may not work. I really do like your weather beats ares at minus 25 to35 and that’s not even the windchill on the brite side it’s going to warm up to double digits above zero in the next couple of days double digits above zero
Actually 3,000 to 5,000 psi is the industry standard for commercial applications, with around 5 - 8 gpm water flow . Hot water would be the best if there is a lot of oil , or someone doesn’t want to use harsh chemicals.
You might try and find a "turbo nozzle" for your pressure washer. They aren't expensive and are worth their weight in gold, the science behind them is pretty cool too. One of those would have easily blasted that old feed right out of there.
Just a thought, try putting a 2x6 inside the bin from side to side. It will give you something to stand on when you go to pressure wash it the next time. After you've dry scraped it and brushed out the debris. Might be easier than standing on a ladder outside, I would think. Another thought came to mind. I wonder what would happen if you lined the inside of the bin with sheet foam insulation? An inch thick layer, taped together to form a moisture barrier might keep condensation from getting the feed wet and stick to the insides. Might be wise to put a tarp inside the insulation, that way anything that did get damp could be just lifted off the insides of the bin and shaken out. Thanks for showing us the lumps and bumps of farm living, not just the resounding sucesses. I love that you do that for us. Keep up the good work!
Maybe an Idea. once clean inside, get in there and weld some metal points to the sides so you have somewhere to perch and clean/scrape the inside. without slipping down.
Keeping them inside from the get go should pretty much eliminate spoilage. Even with the additional losses you incurred though, I would think the cost difference between these wagons and feed bins would take years to recoup if ever. The feed bins aren't perfect but a long shot. Good video. Way to exact revenge there, Spunky!🤪
So nice to see you both work as a team. Hard work. Will be watching your videos. Fun, all the way to the end. Red Cardinal Kitchen, Sonja and Christopher
Figured that one out pretty quick, hope the second one goes easier for the both of you. That should make some good compost when it's time to use it. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great videos and fun around there. Fred.
No doubt about it, few things smell as foul as wet spoiled grain... The pipes in the tie stall barn would sweat in the muggy summer heat. That, and the cows slopping water everywhere from the water bowls often left the mangers a wet mess we had to clean out daily. It never had much time to spoil, but it still smelled gross... The puddle under the corn bin's auger, on the other hand... WOW! What a stench! The last 2 or so inches of soggy corn silage in the bottom of the silo was NASTY, too. Sour and full of water. That was a reek you wouldn't soon forget... It stuck to you for the rest of the day, after you cleaned out the silo. We called it Farmer #9, lol.
Evan, go buy an aftermarket rotary zero tip for your pressure washer. It will boost the power and performance of your pressure washer by a good 35-45% if not more. You need to get the proper size based on your pressure washers flow rate, but they are a great addition to the interchangeable tips for a pressure washer.
I guess that caking up was from moisture, right? Not easy work for sure, but I think you and your wife has a good plan for the next wagon. Thanks, have a nice week.
For a feed bin I'd put it angering into the bank barn with a tube to guide the grain down into a pail or just use a feed cart. Could do the same with chicken feed and possibly directly into the feeder just a few seconds and done
I could not tell if the tarp was a solid vinyl or not, I see the billboard vinyl being sold as trps, heavy waterproof vinyl, might help with water penetration if outside. Good Job, sanding and painting might help, that may be what Pete did,. Good job!!
maybe next time, take a rubber mallet and hit the outside of the bin, i did this when i used to haul bulk powder cement to my tank, the bigger the mallet, the better
Not sure whether it's having the feed wagon out in the open thats caused the caking on the sides or that changing temperatures has caused condensation to form on the metal work and caused feed to be caked to the sides? Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
@@donbaker9715 Well most insulations would interfere with the feed falling/be very delicate. Unless you did a layer of insulation and then a layer of something harder like plywood
@@inventor226 - that’s not how the wagons operate. All that unnecessary work would be counterproductive. Either spend time and money and build a proper feed bin or calculate the waste into the equation and buy some more feed.
Watching you guys mess with all that all i could think of was the scene from Joe Dirt where he strapped a crapper tank to himself thinking it was an atom bomb

Condensation is probably spoiling your feed as well, keeping the wagons inside should help a lot. You can find cheap bulk bins hear and there but if they need new parts that's were it can get pricey
Buy bulk cattle feed like corn and soak it in a barrel and feed to pigs. They love it. That processed stuff isnt as good. Wheat, barley and corn can be soaked and let ferment, hogs love it.
Next time use a garden hoe or flat scraper before pressure washing. Hog feed and chicken crumble feed is the worst for drawing moisture and caking. If you let your turkeys or chickens run free you will see them scratching and eating that where you dumped it.

I think that in dry place it should not happen this. Maybe when they were outside some rain fell and that was reason for spoilage.
@@radomirpivas5662 he has condensation inside and it caused spoilage

Evan, you better get your knotted-wire cup wheel goin' on your angle grinder, repaint, etc. or you soon won't have any feed wagons.
Line the inside with one inch foam insulation like used in houses. That should keep the moisture out.
You sir need a higher gpm pressure washer... nothing too crazy though.
But that definitely needed scraped that was a good bit of feed.
I guess that caking up was from moisture, right? Not easy work for sure, but I think you and your wife has a good plan for the next wagon. Thanks, have a nice week.
You should paint the inside of the wagon with slicplate it will seal it and make it very slick
Next time how about putting a 4 x8 sheet of plywood under the chute and scrap it out BEFORE you get rid of the pigs? They would scoff that up!

Pete sure seems to come up with some good stuff doesn't he.
I would have tired to put the front bucket under the chute and used the tractor to move the waste. But good job on what you got done so far.
I have the grapple on the tractor and didn't want to swap out attachments. It was only 15 feet away to carry it.
Paint the inside with graphite paint it makes it slippery so things won't stick to it. John
If you paint the inside of the wagon with Sliplate which is a graphite paint material will slide out easily
Go online and get you some cheap pond liners and line the inside with it and use the same to cover the wagon
would love to see a new vid on your compost pile & how its going etc.
It'd be a lot of work, but I think I'd give those wagons a coat of good old fashioned paste car wax to try to avoid this mess in the future.
maybe next time, take a rubber mallet and hit the outside of the bin, i did this when i used to haul bulk powder cement to my tank, the bigger the mallet, the better
That’s that much waste for the convenience and ease of using day to day. Still a good investment.

I don't know if will work but if you put the tractor with the bucket under the chute it could save you labor.
The hose seemed to have much more pressure than the pressure washer! If you own a farm, there's always something to do!
I would leave that wagon for the rain to finish cleaning it out.
Start with the ladder also. So much faster

What if you lined the bin with a big sheet plastic before you put the grain in? When empty, just pull out the plastic sheet.
Hey Evan, did you consider trying to fit the sides of the cart with a rubber mallet try and knock some of the feed off?
.....good recovery Evan, have you skied at some time ?
I would still keep a look out for bulk bins. We're out in Iowa but I've seen folks about give them away when shuttering old hog units.
That is NOT a pressure washer my friend! 😅 Keep the content coming
That stuff might be good chicken an turkey food.
maybe try insulating the outside of the wagon to stop condensation?
Insulation needs to be on the inside.

Condensation is probably spoiling your feed as well, keeping the wagons inside should help a lot. You can find cheap bulk bins hear and there but if they need new parts that's were it can get pricey
The key is using a canvas tarp not a plastic one.
Suggestion - Next time clean them out in the pig area so the next batch can eat it or in the barnyard and let the chickens eat it.
If you have catfish in your pond,they would love that!
Is there anything to keep condensation at a minimum inside the wagon? Some sort of coating maybe?
I wonder if you spray food-grade silicone on the inside of the wagon it will stop the feed from sticking
Maybe you could put rubber mats inside so the feed doesn’t stick to the metal.
The root cause is moisture. It wouldn't stick if we didn't have a moisture problem.
Has to be condensation causing it to stick to bottom like that. Since it's inside try leaving the cover off so it gets air.
we have humidity so high, the outside of the wagon gets covered in condensation. So the inside will do the same, even if it is uncovered.
You need graphite paint
Dont forget your tractor has a bucket on it that would fit
The tractor has the grapple and bush hog on it for cleaning out fence row. I didn't want to try to switch it out.
