Storage it's in the bag:U.S.FARMERS ADOPT PRAIRIE PRACTICE

摘要

GRAIN BAGGING, A common practice in Western Canada, is gaining popularity in parts of the U.S. Corn Belt, especially within the Dakotas and Minnesota."They've been bagging grain in Canada for 20 years," says Dave Nelson, senior vice president - sales, for Loftness Manufacturing. "We started making bagging equipment in 2008 and we've seen growing interest all along. In 2014 we saw tremendous increasesfrom the previous year."According to Nelson, good crop yields, low prices, full grain elevators, and rail shipping delays created a "perfect storm" for farmers searching for storage capacity in 2014.
