7 ways to save money grain bagging

So you are looking at the projected forecast of the 2016 harvest and thinking, you might run out of room to store your grain. Bagging grain is not a new idea, and places in North America and South America have been bagging grain for over 30 years with success. Let’s look at some concrete ways that bagging grain can save you money this season:

1. Save on labor costs (one person can run a grain bagger) and you never have to wait on a truck again because you can bag directly in the field and keep your combine running.
2. .7 cents a bushel to store grain in bags vs. approx. $2 a bushel to build a bin
3. Lower fuel charges, no unnecessary trips back and forth to bins
4. No property taxes on bags vs. property taxes on bins
5. Save on electric costs (grain bags do not need fans and they are virtually insect free)
6. You can make money back if you ever decide to sell your grain bagger vs. very hard to sell a stationary grain bin.
7. You can sell your grain when you are ready, even if your storage space is limited, thus you will make more profit if you sell when the market is right.
