- Available in a wide range of sizes, from 25kg sacks to 1000kg bulk totes.
- A great option for small-batch grain sales, mobile operations, or overflow storage.
Why Grain Bags Are a Smart Storage Option
Grain bags aren’t meant to replace massive silos, but they’re the perfect fit for farms and processors handling small to mid-size loads, or anyone selling in batches instead of bulk bins. When you’re staring down a bumper crop and your bins are already full, grain bags give you the extra room you need, without the hefty price tag of new permanent storage. They’re ideal for farms that:
- Need overflow capacity during harvest
- Lease land and want portable solutions
- Transport grain frequently and need temporary containment
Compared to traditional silos or bins, grain bags are more flexible, easier to move, and far less expensive up front. They also help reduce spoilage by minimizing the risk of overstuffed storage or long wait times at the elevator.
Types of Grain Bags We Carry
Polywoven Grain Bags
Our most popular option. Woven polypropylene bags are known for their strength and breathability. They allow moisture to escape while keeping pests and debris out. Ideal for everything from wheat to soybeans.
Paper-Lined Poly Bags
Want a little extra moisture resistance for indoor storage? These hybrid bags combine the structure of polywoven with a liner that helps shield contents from humidity. Great for shorter-term use.
Ventilated Mesh Bags
Often used for smaller batches, seed samples, or feed. Not intended for full-scale grain storage but helpful in specific agricultural operations.
Choosing the Right Size Grain Bag
Whether you’re storing a few hundred kilos or several metric tons, we’ve got a size that fits. Our most commonly ordered grain bags include:
- 25kg: Perfect for hand-loading or smaller harvests
- 50kg: A standard workhorse size for medium operations
- 100kg: For larger-scale handling with machinery
- 1000kg (1 ton totes): Used for serious bulk storage and transport
Need something custom? We can source manufacturing to spec.
What size is best? It depends on:
- The grain type (corn and soybeans are heavier than oats or wheat)
- Whether you’re stacking, shelving, or palletizing
- Your available handling equipment

Grain Bags vs. Bins vs. Silos
Choosing the right storage method comes down to flexibility, budget, and use case.
| Feature | Grain Bags | Bins | Silos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Low | Medium | High |
| Portability | High | Low | Very Low |
| Capacity per unit | Flexible | Fixed | Large |
| Pest/Moisture Risk | Low (if properly stored) | Medium | Low |
| Lifespan | Medium | High | High |
Grain bags are an excellent supplemental or transitional option — especially for operations that grow seasonally or need mobile storage.
