Like was mentioned the koi, goldfish, and pond fish in your pond do not DO much during the winter months. Spring will be here soon enough and your fish will start again with their antics and amusing behavior.ome people add salt to their ponds. I personally am not a practitioner of adding salt unless it is for treatment purposes, but if you do add salt to your pond you should dilute your salt levels during cold winter months.
Variable costs include operating costs, she says. As for the capital cost of putting in a grain bin, the current cost for a 10,000-bushel capacity is $32,525, says Luke-Morgan, or $3.25 per bushel for installing that infrastructure. A 20,000-bushel capacity bin is approximately $48,000 or $2.40 per bushel. This is a turnkey operation, including a concrete base, she says.
Pounds per Gallon The weight of one gallon of grain depends on the type of grain and the moisture content. Typically wheat at 13.5% moisture weighs 60 lbs./bushel which converts to 6.44 lbs./gallon. And rye is 56 pounds per bushel. There are 9.3 US gallons in a bushel. I figure that two five-gallon buckets will contain a 50 pound bag of whatever grain holds my fancy -- wheat, rye, emmer -- with enough slop at the end of the second bucket that I have time to score another 50 pound bag before the bucket runs dry,
