How’s Eddie?

[Hay Dude]

It took me a while to figure out that string... I'd try one end and if that didn't work then I'd go to the other. It wasn't until somebody posted a question here that I realized there was a right end to start on. Not long after that I noticed a grain bag with a note telling which end to start on. I"ve only been opening grain and seed bags for about... 50 years.
Now would somebody please tell me how to get rid of them, other than using them for trash? They're pretty rugged bags and it seems wasteful to use them once and toss.

Getting back to the original topic; I hope that your father recovers quickly Eddie.

I refill them with sand and use them in winter for weight on the back of the truck and dumping into my salt/sand spreader. Otherwise, I use them like trash bags, then throw them out with trash in them.
I like your depression era mentality on not liking to throw away something that still has value.
Sorry for interrupting.....Now back on topic

Send them to me.

How many? I only have about 50 right now, but next summer can save a lot more.

Maybe we can find a way to use them to cure Covid… just to get back on topic.

Eddie said his dad told him to face the label and pull the string at the upper right corner. It works.

Oh Oh,
sounds like the sacks are going the 'pallet in the field' route!

Re: How痴 Eddie?

I always gave grain bags to hunters to tote bait to there stands.

Sugar beets, carrots, and apples bought in clear plastic stay fresher once moved to bags that can breathe a little vs soaking 'em in condensation, rotting, & sprouting.

btw, IMO it wasn't Covid that ruined the hunt this year. Weather did.

Hunting was awesome this year, HERE. Getting outside and keeping your distance from peeps is the way to go.
