There have been various suggestions to deal with expansion materials, often involving separate storage.
Here is a technique which I use for barn and silo expansion. This can be applied to fishing, land and town building and land expansion as well.
At the moment I need 132 of each item to expand my barn and, as most farmers find, I receive very uneven drops of the materials needed. My farm is a plank farm, so I have already "banked" planks for the next expansion. I did that by gathering 131 planks, and then using diamonds to bank them.
That is done by tapping on the barn to show the expansion materials - alongside each item is a diamond button. When I have one fewer item than is needed, I tap on the diamond button. A green tick appears beside the item, and the barn's stock reduces by 131. It costs 8 diamonds for that one extra plank.
I will do the same again when the second item (usually bolts) reaches 131 in stock. For the third item I don't use diamonds, but just expand once I have 132 tape.
Once the items are banked there is no way to get them back. In addition, if the number of items in stock is higher than you need it doesn't work.
I know this method will not suit everyone, but it works for me
