A forage harvester – also known as a silage harvester, forager or chopper – is a farm implement that harvests forage plants to make silage. [1] Silage is grass , corn or hay , which has been chopped into small pieces, and compacted together in a storage silo , silage bunker, or in silage bags. [ 2 ]
Silage gas contains nitric oxide (NO), which will react with oxygen (O 2) in the air to form nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), which is toxic. [16] Lack of oxygen inside the silo can cause asphyxiation. Molds that grow when air reaches cured silage can cause organic dust toxic syndrome. Collapsing silage from large bunker silos has caused deaths. [17]
8 foot diameter by 150 foot silo bag shown just after filling and sealing. Bag silos are heavy plastic tubes, usually around 8 to 12 ft (2.4 to 3.6 m) in diameter, and of variable length as required for the amount of material to be stored. They are packed using a machine made for the purpose, and sealed on both ends.
The sand equivalent test quantifies the relative abundance of sand versus clay in soil. It is measured by standardized test methods such as ASTM D2419, AASHTO T176, and EN 933–8. [ 1 ] The test is used to qualify aggregates for applications where sand is desirable but fines and dust are not.
With a capacity of up to 3 m 3 (3.9 cu yd) and load capability ranging from 0.5 to 2 metric tons (0.49 to 1.97 long tons; 0.55 to 2.20 short tons) FIBCs are highly cost effective, easily recyclable [citation needed] and ideal for virtually any free-flowing granule, powder, pellet or flake. FIBCs are also being developed to hold and filter fluid ...
Sand fill may be appropriate for several courses to provide a vibration damping building base, but becomes unstable in ordinary bags above 60–100 cm (24–39 in) in height. Cement, lime or bitumen stabilization can allow clay soil to withstand flooding or allow sands to be used in traditional bags with a non-structural plaster skin.

The Oxford English Dictionary has a definition of "bag" as "A measure of quantity for produce, varying according to the nature of the commodity" and has quotations illustrating its use for hops in 1679, almonds in 1728 (where it is defined by weight as "about 3 Hundred Weight" i.e. 336 pounds (152 kg) in Imperial units) and potatoes in 1845 ...
