Reuseable silage bag

Tomjim

There was a guy on TV about 2 years ago who was developing a product (similar to a sack as far as I recall) to use on a bale of silage. The main advantage was that there would be no need to use plastic and a wrapper, instead the bag was used. This bag could also be used in future years.

Anyone know if there has been any developments on this.

werent they the whole go when bales were first being wrapped, some 25/30 years ago, though hard to put the bale in and out, and to reuse so maybe was righyly replaced with the wrapper..........

I have seen them in France. Althought I thought they were wrapped and then put in to.. protection from birds?

You'd use way less bale wrap, but way more ground !!

How does it work when it comes to using the bales? As in would the next bale not start going off if it was left exposed for awhile? I presume you just cut the wrap off?

I orginal post I now know refers to a Vincent Glennon from Kilbeggan who was developing a recycable silage sack. Apparently he took out a patent circa 2007

Anyone know anything else about this
