55-Gallon Drums — The Most Popular Size for Mid-Size Farms

The 55-gallon drum is the workhorse of bulk biological inputs. It is the most popular size for mid-size farm operations applying to 50 to 150 acres per season. A single drum provides enough product to run a full-season program on meaningful acreage without the logistics of a tote delivery. Standard drums fit in a pickup bed with a drum dolly and connect to common nurse tank pumping setups.
