Bulk water storage
Field water for crew breaks, hand-wash stations, equipment refill. Grade B/C is fine.
Livestock water
Frost-resistant lid, float valve, hose-bib. Pairs with a gravity-fed trough.
Liquid fertilizer mixing
Reconditioned tote with a recirculation pump becomes a 275-gal mixing station.
Drip-irrigation header
Tote elevated 5 ft creates enough head for 1.5 acres of low-pressure drip line.
Rainwater harvest
Top-cut with screened inlet under barn downspout. Each tote captures ~275 gal per 1" rain on a 1400 sq ft roof.
Compost tea brewer
Aerated tote with valved bottom. Brews 250 gal of actively aerated compost tea per cycle.
Pesticide / herbicide hold
Grade C tote dedicated to one chemistry, valve color-coded. Replace gaskets at every refill.
Emergency hold (manure / leachate)
Grade D tote as overflow buffer for slurry pits or silage leachate during high-flow events.
Sourcing for ag is a price question.
For non-potable ag use, Grade C or D totes are usually the right call — same tank, lower price, no functional difference for water, slurry, or fertilizer. We discount truckload pickups for farm cooperatives.
Practical setups our ag customers run.
Livestock watering loop. A Grade D 275 elevated on a small steel frame becomes a gravity-fed trough header for up to a 40-head herd. Float valve at the outlet, frost-resistant lid for winter, hose-bib for manual draw. Total parts cost: about $215 including tank.
Field crew water station. Grade C 275 on the truck bed of a pickup, with a 12V transfer pump and a coiled 50-foot hose. Used for hand-wash, equipment refill, dust suppression in late summer. Refills from a hydrant or yard line in under 20 minutes.
Fertilizer mixing tank. Grade B 275 reconditioned with a recirculation pump becomes a 275-gallon mixing station for liquid fertilizer concentrates. Color-code by chemistry (one chemistry per tank) and replace gaskets at every refill.
Drip irrigation header. Tote elevated 5 feet creates enough gravity head for about 1.5 acres of low-pressure drip line. Add a small inline filter and a pressure regulator. Sized for a typical row-crop or orchard configuration.
Rainwater capture from a barn roof. Top-cut Grade D tote with a screened inlet under the downspout. A 1,400 sq ft barn roof yields about 875 gallons per 1 inch of rain — enough to refill the tank three times in a normal month.
If you only read one section.
- 01Grade C and D win for ag — non-potable doesn't need food-contact wash.
- 02Bulk pickup discounts kick in at 20 tanks. Farm co-ops often combine orders to hit this threshold.
- 03Float valves and frost-resistant lids are the two accessories most ag buyers underspec.
- 04Color-code totes by chemistry. Cross-contamination is the most common cause of fertilizer line problems.
- 05Stack one-high outdoors. UV degrades HDPE — tarp if you can't store under cover.
