Over
ten years ago Ag-Bag® felt a need to educate dairymen,
beef operators, and forage producers to the benefits of
bagging their feed. Part of the education process was to
cost justify bagging all types of forage. From this need
arose the Ag-Bag Advantage Plan®. About five years ago
we computerized the Ag-Bag Advantage Plan® to be more
user friendly. We have provisions in the Ag-Bag Advantage
Plan® for all different crop types that are typically
fed. The computerized Ag-Bag Advantage Plan® is a tool
for computing the cost of harvesting, calculating the value
of their commodities, figuring the storage loss factors
of their current storage methods, and gives a final cost
justification. It can be difficult to calculate actual farm
costs. Seeing the Ag-Bag Advantage Plan®, based on their
individual circumstances, shows them the benefits of bagging
their feed and the potential benefit of changing their current
storage method. Customers are surprised that bagging is
so cost-effective. Most people are astonished to learn about
the shrink or dry matter losses they have. The Ag-Bag Advantage
Plan® shows most customers they can purchase a bagging
machine and plastic each year, and still have a higher profit
margin. |
