Grain Bag user tips

Grain bagging has become a popular practice for many farmers. The driving motivation comes from the availability of storage space: in case of massive crops when steel bins are full is and there is no place to put the extra corn at harvest. Grain bags have also proven to be more than just a temporary grain storage solution. Agri Novatex provides superior quality grain bags: easy to use, long lasting even in Australian conditions, ideal for creating a low oxygen environment.
