Farmington, Mo | I just posted a similar thread in machinary talk. I did some research before posting and it appears Iowa has the same rules for on farm storage as commercial facilities.
All loading/unloading must be done on an impermeable surface under a roof of some sort. Loading in field is ok from tender if being applied in that field. Most states do not have on farm storage regs but Iowa, unfortunately is one of them that does.
Found this on agfax.com from May of 2013:
According to research gathered by DTN with the help of industry group The Fertilizer Institute (TFI), 12 states have fertilizer storage regulations specific for on-farm situations. Those states are: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Ohio and Washington. States that have no on-farm storage regulations on the books: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. DTN also made several attempts to contact officials in Maine, Maryland, Nevada, New Hampshire and West Virginia, but had not received a response by the time this article was posted.
Hope this is helpful...
