    Harvesting:
  • The harvest will not be delayed waiting for storage to become available on farm or elsewhere.

  • Grains can be stored as to their variety, grade, protein, and moisture or for any other reason.
  • Storage in a bumper season is unlimited.
  • Grain can be freighted after harvest, freeing up time during harvest.
    Marketing Flexibility:
  • The opportunity to grow, store and market, niche crops on farm.
  • Gives the producer control and time to market the crop.
  • Hasty decisions on pricing your commodities at harvest when pricing can be complicated and can cost you money.

  • The Grain Bags are sealed airtight, therefore chemicals are not required. No withholding period.
  • Perfect for organic commodities.
  • Grains retain their quality, including color.
    Controlling Costs:
