A system for storage of green fodder and the like includes a cylindrical storage tank removably carried on a trailer which can be towed by a tractor. The frame of the trailer carries a tiltable platform having a rotatable plate on which the tank rests. The frame also carries a vertically movable apparatus for supporting either compaction rollers insertable into the tank top for compressing fodder as it is conveyed into the tank, or an elevator mechanism for lifting the tank away from its bottom cover to expose compacted fodder for removal. The tank is rotated during loading/compaction and removal. Compression of the fodder greatly increases the amount of fodder storable in each tank. After filling the platform is tilted, the tank is removed and can be rolled to a storage location with its axis horizontal.
