[Tagging] Milk Churn Stands

[Volker Schmidt]

Update.
I looked around a bit (I am a city dweller, apologies, if this is new to me)
In South Tyrol (Italy) they have an interesting variant of this concept.
The dairy uses refrigerated containers which are parked in designated spots
at scheduled times. The nearby farmers bring their milk to the container
and fill it up. The full containers are collected and carried to the dairy.
I found this photograph <https://www.instagram.com/p/BmnYj96Bc5h/> of such
a container on Instagram.
I suppose this is not a mappable feature.
