That would probably be the easiest way.  For unconnected tanks, a little variation could be evened out by making the ends thicker or thinner.  As long as everything was square they'd turn out fine.

Since I have a miter box, sand paper, and more sand paper is decently inexpensive, that sounds like the best idea...hopefully I can get that done this weekend (I've almost completed a decent amount of the building)

Um, if liquid fertilizer is considered a hazardous liquid then I would say that bunding is be a good idea.

Depends on the liquid fertilizer. If its poly or nitrogen, then no, they are not hazardous to the point that they are placarded cars. Now if its phosphoric acid or anhydrous ammonia, different story. But, its up to you, your era, and the fact nobody would ever know otherwise. One of the agri services that my shortline delivers to also gets cars of weed killers, which are placarded. I haven't seen the tank they go in.
No farms, no food. Support your local farmer's market!
