Grain Bin In A Bag

Grain Bin In A Bag CROP STORAGE Grain Storage 19-4-33 If you have to store grain on the ground this year, you might want to get in touch with Linda Dzen . A Russian-born mechanical engineer who immigrated to Canada four years ago, Dzen has designed a new reuseable grain bag made of stretchable vinyl that provides bin-type protection to stored grain. Dzen's covers are made of pie-shaped pieces of vinyl sewn into a circle. Four 7-ft., 8-in. pipes stand on a plate inside the bottom of the bag to hold it up. A metal ring runs around the top of the pipes. The grain auger spout fits inside the ring for filling. The bottom of the bag is anchored with spikes. Velcro fasteners hold the bag's three main seams shut. A cover for barley or wheat consists of 19 pie-shaped pieces sewn into a circle 33-ft. in dia. It holds 2,500 bu. of barley or wheat and 3,200 bu. of oats. Sells for $550 (Canadian). Other sizes available on custom basis.
