we use 275 gal oil tanks with the top cut off, we used to have big horses and would buy a thousand pounds of horse feed at a time, husband would find one for a good price, cut it and clean the insides out real good and then we would use them to store the feed, still have them, use them for feed still altho the horses have been gone for over twenty years now.Hey, chicken crazy people. When you are buying several hundred pounds of feed at a time, where do you store it? A can only works for a bag or two at a time.
