Forage was stacked at the advanced supply depot. To avoid a build-up of old forage it was only issued from stock, to turn over the reserve. It was stacked on raised platforms 120ft wide and the stack beds were fixed to 90ft by 30ft, which gave stacks of approximately 300 tons of hay and 600 tons of oats. Labour was contracted out as much as possible. Trains of forty trucks came into a siding on one side of the stack platforms and section trains were loaded from the other side. This allowed simultaneous use of the stack area.
