Farm IBC Tips
☀️ UV Protection
While IBCs are UV-stabilized, prolonged sun exposure can degrade the plastic over time. Store totes under cover when possible, or consider dark-colored totes for outdoor use.
❄️ Freeze Protection
IBCs can handle Louisiana winters, but be careful with water-based contents. Leave room for expansion if freezing is possible, or store in a protected area.
🔄 Chemical Compatibility
Most agricultural chemicals are compatible with HDPE, but always verify. Don't mix incompatible chemicals - use dedicated totes for each product type.
🏷️ Labeling
Always label your totes clearly with contents, date filled, and any hazard information. This is good practice and may be required for certain chemicals.
Agricultural FAQs
Can I use a used IBC tote for fertilizer storage?
Yes, used totes are excellent for fertilizer storage. Most liquid fertilizers are compatible with HDPE plastic. Just make sure the tote is clean and free from residue of incompatible chemicals. We can help you select totes appropriate for your specific fertilizer products.
Do you deliver to rural farm locations?
We deliver throughout Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region, including rural and farm locations. For remote areas, we'll work with you on delivery logistics. We can deliver direct to your barn, field location, or nearest accessible point. Delivery fees vary by distance.
What's the best size tote for agricultural use?
Both 275 and 330 gallon totes are popular for farming. The 275 gallon size is often preferred because it's lighter when full and easier to handle. The 330 gallon size gives you more capacity in the same footprint. Consider your forklift capacity and handling needs when choosing.
Can IBCs be used for potable water storage?
Yes, but you need food-grade totes that have only held food-safe contents. We carry food-grade IBCs suitable for potable water, livestock water, and irrigation. These totes must be properly cleaned and maintained for safe water storage.
How long do IBC totes last in farm use?
With proper care, IBCs can last 5-10+ years in agricultural use. UV exposure, chemical contents, and handling affect lifespan. Used totes are cost-effective even if they only last a few seasons - they're easy to replace when needed.
Do you buy back or trade in old farm totes?
Yes! We buy surplus and used totes from farms. If your totes are still in usable condition, we'll make you an offer. We also offer trade-in credits toward new purchases. Contact us to arrange a pickup and evaluation.
