description Ag-Bag International Grain Bag Overview

The Ag-Bag International Grain Bag is a temporary agricultural storage system that allows farmers to store bulk commodities in long, heavy-duty plastic tubes directly on their land. Popularized by Ag-Bag International, the system requires specialized machinery to mechanically load grain into the large polymer bags. Once filled, the sealed environment helps protect the harvest from weather and pests, functioning as a flexible alternative to permanent steel or concrete silos. This storage method is frequently utilized during bumper harvest seasons when traditional grain elevators reach maximum capacity.

help Ag-Bag International Grain Bag FAQ

How does the Ag-Bag International grain-bag system store grain?

A specialized bagging machine loads bulk grain into a long, heavy-duty plastic tube placed directly on the farm. The sealed tube temporarily replaces part of the capacity normally provided by a permanent silo.

What machinery is needed to use an Ag-Bag grain bag?

The system requires a bagger to fill the tube and an unloader to remove the grain later. Those machines control the loading and unloading process, so the bags are not intended to be filled with ordinary augers alone.

Which crops can be stored in an Ag-Bag tube?

Farmers use grain-bag systems for bulk commodities such as corn, soybeans, and wheat when the crop is suitable for the chosen storage conditions. The exact crop and moisture target depend on local practice and the storage plan.

Is an Ag-Bag grain bag a permanent silo?

No, it is a temporary on-farm storage method based on a disposable or limited-use plastic tube. Ag-Bag International's system is useful when harvest volume exceeds permanent storage capacity or when a farmer needs flexible seasonal storage.
