One option for storing grain is to use a grain bag, and several companies offer a grain bag storage system.
“Grain bags are certainly an option for storing grain, and you can store any type of grain in a grain bag,” said Ken Hellevang, NDSU Extension ag engineer and grain storage expert. “They do a nice job of giving us an environment that will keep rain and snow and things from getting into the grain. From that perspective, grain bags are a wonderful option, particularly when we don’t have grain bins.”
Brian Mayes stores grain in a storage bag with a Loftness grain system on the Beggar farm in Montana.
