The most
inventive customers
we have.

Row crop, orchard, greenhouse, livestock, maple, hemp and market gardens. Farms buy more totes per dollar of revenue than anyone and reuse them in ways we then sell to other farms.

What agriculture & growers actually does with them

Drawn from the orders that come through the yard, not from a market report.

Liquid fertilizer and micronutrients

Washed technical grade, 2 inch camlock to your sprayer, level gauge if you batch by volume.

Irrigation and gravity drip

Stand-mounted totes feeding drip tape through a hose adapter and a filter. The cheapest irrigation head you will ever build.

Livestock watering

Float-valve troughs, frost-protected, with a drain for winter. One of our most-ordered fabrications.

Rainwater harvesting

Food-grade bottles, first-flush diverters, screened inlets and linked overflow.

Maple sap

Food grade on sled frames. February is our busiest month because of it.

Firewood, produce and parts crates

Cage only, bottle scrapped. The cheapest stackable crate in the county.

Grade recommendation

What we would sell you

Washed technical for inputs, Food Grade for anything animals or people drink

Fertilizer, soap and wash water do not need a food history, so technical and washed grades save you real money. Anything that a person or an animal drinks should be food grade — and that includes livestock water, which people routinely under-specify.

Sector pitfalls

What catches this sector out

Every one of these is something we have watched happen to a customer, which is why it is written down here.

A full tote outweighs a small car

2,400 lb on a 48 by 40 inch footprint. Level, firm ground only. We have seen more totes lost to soft ground and tipping than to any material failure.

Michigan winters split full bottles

Drain to about two-thirds before the first hard freeze, or heat and insulate. Ice expands roughly 9% and the cage will not save the bottle.

Restricted-use pesticide totes are a different conversation

If a bottle held a restricted-use product and the rinsate status cannot be verified, it is not something we will wash and resell. Ask us before you buy a cheap 'ag tote' from anyone.

Gravity needs height, and height needs a stand

Every foot of elevation gives you roughly 0.43 psi. Plan the stand before you plan the plumbing — we fabricate them.
