The Crop
a. Maturity (pre-bloom)

c. Crop Length (3/4” target)
Haylage and Corn Silage:
Apply enough anchor pressure to fill the bag to
within 2 inches of the top of the tunnel. Keep the
bag stretch indicators within the bag manufac-
turer’s specifications.
Grains:
Grains tend not to fill the bag to the top of the
tunnel, regardless of anchor pressure. Regulate
anchor pressure by measuring your stretch bars
approximately 30 feet back from the bagger.
Keep the stretch indicators within the bag manu-
facturer’s specifications.
Product Moisture
Refer to the “3M’s of Silage” supplement avail-
able from your Miller Ag-Bag dealer for more
detailed information on product moisture levels.
Moisture levels play an important part of product
quality.
Dry Product
Dry product makes a lumpy bag. Long dry chop
is hard on the bagger. Remember when trying
to make good haylage, dry feeds have more
resistance. They will pack higher in the bag and
less anchor pressure is required.
Wet Product
Moisture levels above 70% may create exces-
sive liquid in the bag. This excessive liquid is
OK unless the bag is outside the recommended
shape. Slowly release anchor pressure until the
bag is within the recommended shape. Let the
product wilt longer in the field if liquid does not
dissipate. Wet product does not rise very high in
the bag. The result will be a wide bag.
