Frequently asked questions

What makes GEM’s silage bags different from others on the market?

GEM Silage Products offers Up North Plastics® silage bags, which are known for their exceptional durability and industry-leading performance. 

These bags offer two to three times more puncture and tear resistance than standard products, which helps minimize spoilage, preserve silage quality, and keep your farm running efficiently in all seasons.

How many tons does a silage bag hold?

The tonnage a silage bag can hold depends on its diameter and length. For example, a standard 9-foot by 200-foot bag may hold around 200 to 250 tons, while larger bags that have a 10 or 12-feet diameter can hold significantly more.

Your total capacity will also depend on the type of feed being stored and the compaction level. If you're planning your silage storage needs, reach out for help calculating the right size based on your feeding schedule and herd size.

What sizes of silage bags are available?

GEM Silage Products offers silage bag sizes ranging from 7 feet to 14 feet wide and 150ft to 500ft long to meet various operational requirements.

Whether you’re running a cow-calf operation or a dairy farm, we’ll help you choose a size that ensures optimal storage with minimal waste.

How long does silage last?

Silage needs to be fed at a rate of 8-12 inches per day to ensure quality. Using proper feed-out techniques, such as minimizing air exposure, feeding evenly from the face, and resealing when possible, can help maintain feed quality.

Silage stored in high-quality bags, like the ones offered by GEM, generally holds up better after opening because the material maintains a tighter seal and resists damage that could let oxygen in. If silage is not fed out quickly enough or too much air gets in, spoilage can occur much faster.
 

Are silage bags cost-effective compared to other storage methods?

Yes, and in many cases, they’re the most economical choice, especially when factoring in both upfront costs and long-term performance. Silage bag prices are typically lower than the cost of installing permanent infrastructure like bunkers or silos.

Silage bags allow flexible placement, easy inventory management, and minimal maintenance. For many producers, the ability to reduce capital investment while maintaining high feed quality makes silage bags a smart choice for both short-term and long-term planning.

Where can I find silage bags for sale in my area?

GEM Silage Products partners with a network of dealers across Canada. If you're searching for silage bags for sale, chances are there's a supplier near you.

We maintain stocked warehouses and dealer locations to ensure easy access to the silage bags and other products you need. If you're not sure where to start, view our list of locations or contact us, and we’ll connect you with a local distributor who can provide guidance, pricing, and delivery options.

Do your silage bags work in cold or harsh climates?

Yes, these bags are designed with the Canadian climate in mind. They resist cracking in cold temperatures, hold up against rough terrain and UV exposure, and maintain their integrity throughout the seasons. This means you’ll have reliable silage protection and peace of mind year-round.

How do silage bags help reduce feed loss?

Silage bags provide a sealed environment that limits oxygen exposure and prevents rain, pests, and contaminants from spoiling your feed. 

Less spoilage means more usable silage, better animal health, and improved return on investment.
