Farmers Store Seeds, Grains, and More in Shipping Containers
Nearly two-thirds of Indiana is farmland. It’s no surprise, then, that savvy Indiana farmers have put shipping containers to use for them.
Farm Implement Storage
For example, farmers may store farm equipment, implements, or tractors in new and used shipping containers. This extends and expands the size and locations of their barns and reduces their overhead costs.
Seed and Grain Storage
Additionally, farmers have converted shipping containers into seed and grain siloes. Modified with wooden bulkheads, these storage containers reduce spillage compared to traditional grain siloes. As a result, fewer seeds scatter to the ground. This deters rodents—especially mice and rats.
Creative Uses of Containers in Indianapolis and Nearby Areas
Besides farm storage, explore some creative ways that Indianans have repurposed steel shipping containers.

What a Wonderful Experience
"Let me start by telling you what a wonderful experience it was to purchase my 2 containers from Container Management! I called Les, the Owner, about 2 months prior to needing the containers. He was pleasant, informative, and sent me a quote immediately following our call. When I was ready to order towards the end of June, he put me in contact with Jordan, who helped work out the details, payment (no hidden or credit card fees!) and delivery.
If you need a container, you can't go wrong with Container Management!"

Great Job Communicating the Logistics
"The Container Management team did a great job for us. Les was very helpful finding our containers even though they were a harder to find side door style and got them for a fair price. His team did a great job communicating the logistics through all steps of the shipping. They followed up after the shipment to make sure we were satisfied with the containers that we received also. Definitely will call them in the future for any more container needs."

What a Refreshing Experience
"Container Management had been a pleasure to work with. I recently purchased multiple containers and they were accommodating for delivery times and dates and very proactive in their communicationwith me. Once delivery was scheduled and delivery day came I was contacted by Jordan regarding the quality of the containers that they went to pickup were not up to their standard and was apologetic that they would be a few more days to take possession of additional containers that were of the quality they expected to deliver to their customers. What a refreshing experience. In lieu of sticking me with junk, they ensured that I received quality product. They have ethics not seen very often in this day and age in business or politics!!! I have already referred a neighbor and highly recommend if you are in the market for containers, purchase from Container Management. I have not received any pay or benefits from CM for this review, it was just that good of an experience. Thank you again CM!"
