I beg to differ......................

It'll take some shoveling, and you'll want to put a long pipe down the sump before you put it in there so you won't have to 'find' that hole later when it won' t flow. We used to use a bunch of old metal silos from 12 to 14' diameter to store all our grains and other commodities. They all had flat aeration type floors with auger into the center sump.

Cottonseed meal was the absolute worst and expeller process meal was the worst of that. Once you got a hole down the middle, you just shoveled into the hole. Very seldom ever bridged again once you got it flowing the first time.

The pipe down the hole saved a cousin of mine one day. He slipped and fell down the hole in the meal, but was able to climb back out using the pipe. Breathed a bunch of dust, but there was no danger of it caving in on him, that meal had to be shoveled off into the hole, it wasn't going to fall in on it's own!
