Expert Posts: 1343 Location: Oklahoma	I have a probably dumb question. I keep my feed in large Rubbermaid barrels. During our recent heavy rains, one of the barrels apparently got wet. I have sweet feed in it and it is wet and mushy. There is no sour smell at all, but it has been sitting wet for 3 to 4 days now and I wonder if it is safe to feed? I am thinking it's not and the birds are going to get a big feast.
