Efficient Farm Operation

Grain Storage Solutions Are
'In The Bag'

Charley Knabb

Efficient Farm Operation

Although Mount Level Farm is a private grain storage and farming operation, it has incorporated grain bag storage into its strategies for segregating different grain commodities and handling overflow. And while the farm has built bags on-site within protected areas of the granary, Sorrell speculates that some of the practices incorporated may be duplicated at other area storage facilities.

"If you look at the carries in the market, sometimes 30 to 60 days makes a huge difference on basis," he says. "These things (bags) are really good for a 30-to-60 day deal."

Cotton farmers will understand after hearing the story of Richy Bibb from Tunica, Miss.

"It's a module builder for grain," he says. "If you put wet cotton in that module, its not going to be good. If you put wet grain in that bag, it's probably not going to turn out the way you want it to."
