THE RUN of good years across Australia has stretched grain storage infrastructure and has meant good quality temporary on-farm grain storage is more important than ever before.
The team at Silo Bag Ag, based at Gerogery in the southern Riverina have been fielding massive amounts of inquiry as farmers look to shore up storage options before a potentially big harvest.
Brett Phillips, Silo Bag Ag, said were many farmers who had been using silo bags to store grain for years now.
"There is good flexibility, they can take a lot of volume and for those selling into the domestic market silo bags work really well," Mr Phillips said.
Speaking at the Mallee Machinery Field Days at Speed in the Victorian Mallee last week he said Silo Bag Ag had teamed up with Argentine silo bag loader and unloader manufacturer Akron.
"With bigger headers grain is coming off quicker so higher capacity bag loaders are important," he said.
On the outloading front, he said the Akron units were capable of loading an impressive 360 tonnes an hour, meaning they could keep up with the biggest harvesters.
"It's been great to team up with Akron, there is a lot of grain stored in bags in Argentina and their units work very well."
