English term or phrase: bag farm
The text is on militar issues that's why I included this question in the MILITARY/DEFENSE field. However this term seems to be from every day language but I still don't quite get the meaning.

Do you think it makes reference to common "bags" used in farms to store produce, for instance?

The purchase cost is for all fuel capacity in a given *BAG FARM* and when the site still contains fuel the Army is paying for that fuel again.

*BAG FARMS* make fuel management difficult because it is an estimate on how much fuel is on the ground.

Thank you very much for your help dear colleages!
