Some shipping containers have pesticide-treated floors.  If you're an organic farmer, this may contaminate your equipment, etc.  The newer "eco" containers may be a better choice than the older, cheaper treated ones.

Best wishes to all,

We are moving a to a new location in Colorado about 371 miles away over 2 high mountain passes….about an 7-8 hour drive.  Our farm is small, we have a small 1964 IH tractor, 2 plows, plastic mulch layer, mowers, tiller, hoes, wheelbarrows, wagons, harvesting containers and on and on as well as all the household goods.

Any suggestions on how to move in an economical fashion.  I confirmed with my insurance agent that neither household nor vehicle insurance will cover the goods in transit.  The new property does not have any barns or outbuildings (other than a large high tunnel greenhouse, oh boy oh boy), so I was thinking of buying a shipping container and arranging for someone to haul it.  Any other ideas?
