Secure Alfalfa Storage: Freshness, Safety, & Space.
Storing alfalfa in a robust warehouse facility offers significant advantages for producers and distributors alike. Alfalfa’s inherent bulk and relatively low degradation rate when properly managed make it exceptionally well-suited for long-term storage within a dedicated warehouse environment. Warehouses provide a stable, dry location, minimizing the risk of spoilage caused by exposure to the elements. Careful palletization and stacking are crucial to maximize space utilization and ensure efficient retrieval. Regular inspection of the stored alfalfa is vital, focusing on visual assessment for discoloration or mold growth. Proper ventilation within the warehouse is key to reducing moisture build-up, and utilizing racking systems allows for optimized flow and easy access to large quantities. A warehouse’s controlled environment, coupled with diligent monitoring, helps to preserve the nutritional value and overall quality of the alfalfa throughout its storage period. This translates to a consistent supply and reduced losses for your business. The warehouse setting facilitates streamlined inventory management, ensuring reliable access to this valuable forage crop.
Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 80 square feet, 10 feet x 8 feet area, Height clearance: 9 feet. A dedicated area of 12ft x 12ft (144 sq ft) is recommended for optimal storage and handling.
Storage Conditions: Dry storage is required. The area should be well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup and potential spoilage. Ensure the floor is level and clean to avoid damage to the alfalfa.
Special Handling: Alfalfa bales are relatively delicate. Padding with straw or burlap is advised for each bale to prevent bruising and damage during handling. Consider using straps or twine to secure bales during movement.
Stacking/Shelving: Bales can be stacked to a maximum height of 5 feet. Pallet storage is suitable, with pallets spaced 4 feet apart for easy access. Alternatively, sturdy shelving units with a minimum height of 6 feet can be used.
Access Requirements: A loading dock with a 12-foot wide access door is necessary. A minimum clearance space of 8 feet around each loading bay is required for forklift operation. The door should be at least 9 feet wide for efficient movement of pallets. Ensure adequate lighting in the storage area.
