Site Preparation
Lightly scrape the ground, removing weeds, sticks, stones and stubble from the entire grain bag storage site that could
penetrate the grain bag . When removing debris from the site, be careful not to loosen the ground . The grain bag storage
site should remain as firm as possible and free from debris to minimize grain bag damage . Chemical can be sprayed on
the site to control weeds and grasses reducing nesting habitat for rodents .
NOTE: Maximum grade should be limited to grades less than 5%.
Grain Bag Placement
WARNING:
Do not place grain bags near or under power lines.
NORTH - SOUTH
SLOPE
The grain bags should be positioned North-South on the storage site . This will allow the grain bags to be exposed to
the sun evenly .
NOTE: It is recommended that the grain bags be positioned north-south on the storage site. This will allow the grain
bags to be exposed to the sun evenly. If the grain bags are positioned east-west the south side of the grain bags
will be exposed to the sun the entire day and may damage the grain bags.
Start the grain bag on the lowest elevation of the storage site . This will aid in the loading of the grain bag and also assist
in preventing any moisture from entering the bag both at the starting end and at the finishing end .
NOTE:
It is NOT recommended to position the bag across the slope. Positioning the bag across the slope could cause
water build-up along the edge of the bag. This places added stress on one side of the grain bag and may cause
the bag to fail. It also prevents water from shedding away from and/or running along the length of the grain bag.
