Wasn't a rumor, heard it at the board table coming from our manager who talked to the malty and Quaker.

But its OK for them once they buy your crop to put in big piles on the ground that some spoils, Oh that's a lost litre, that's OK Is it just me or are 80% of farmers just plain not in the real world, they will believe any thing someone tells them without checking it out.
Put in bags then transfer to hopper bin when Semi comes to deliver to them.

Just passing on the information I received not passing any judgement.

Or maybe gregpet IS in the real world. (Sometimes we just don't want to hear information).

Some bags could even prevent a sale.

If you consider what you grow as food, some recycled material made into bags is not exactly what some processors are courting.(Elephant placenta mixed with magpie dung) Kidding, SKFarmer.

#1 SMELL your bags

#2. Ask your end-user.

# 3. If you are buying bags anew, keep in mind the quality of the bags.

#4. Keep an open mind

Food processors' requirements are constantly changing.

Grain bins Galvanized made from Scrap material, Smell your bin look at cost, oh crap just put on ground like Oat processors and let her rot.

We used a bagger for Malt Barley last year, as well as many of my clients who used them for everything from Malt, Durum, Lentils, Peas ect. All had good experience. Just a few things we learned though. Keep out of areas with high wildlife trafic. Away from trees and rivers and dugouts, and if these areas are unavoidable put up an electric fence. Make sure the bag is nice and straight. Works best if you have a Grain Cart. The biggest down fall is ALL THE WASTED PLASTIC! the bags are useless to many farmers when you done.
