THE BEST BAG TO USE
Ag-Bag
®
’s bag is engineered to be the most
scientifically prepared to deal with all the elements.
The bag is made from
polyethylene resins with
ultraviolet inhibitors and
special whiteners.
Tri-extruded, or bonded,
together in 3 layers, the
bag’s white outer layer is
extreme white to reflect
the heat of the sun. In this
layer are special
ultraviolet inhibitors to
give long life against the
sun’s rays. The clear
inner layer is added for
strength and elasticity.

• Multiply the number of bags by the
inoculant index to determine the number
of buckets or pouches of inoculant
needed. Example - 20 TD815 x 1.4 = 28
buckets.
Note: Tons per bag are approximate.
Weights may vary slightly depending on
moisture level and crop types. High moisture
shelled corn totals are figured from bagging
with a standard Ag-Bag® machine. If using
an Ag-Bag® grain bagger, totals will be
approximately 20% less due to density. Also,
when using the Masterseal® sealing strip,
you can get approximately 2-4 more loads in
the bag, depending on the size of your trucks
or wagons.
Insist on using genuine Ag-Bag
®
bags for the best
feed quality results.
It is critical to maintain an
oxygen-free environment in
the bag. To repair a tear or
puncture in the bag, use the
repair tape from Ag-Bag
®
. If
a large tear happens, use
spray adhesive around the
tear area, apply a piece of
used bag over the hole, and
seal the patch with repair
tape. Careful, periodic bag
examinations will prevent
spoiled feed. Bag
management is a must to
maximize your profits.
