Has anyone found a good use for the large bulk seed bags. I hate to trash them.

Set them by my sliding miter saw to throw the drop offs in. Best part was the bags are like lighter fluid when you haul the thing to the burn pile. Not the best idea though if seed was treated.

If they don’t have treatment in them talk to your local feed dealer. Sometimes they can use them for bulk feed.

We use ours to stop erosion put down in wash outs cover bad tile connections, put sand or stone in them for big sand bags

Should go without saying, but if they've had seed treatment in them, make sure they are not used for anything a person might be exposed to directly, animal feed, etc.

Had a steer go down and slid a bag under them with the loops on each side then put the pallet forks through the loops and used the loader to stand them up.

Real nice to lay down to work under equipment

They make a great cover for pool heaters and pumps or covers for bin motors and augers

I cut the top and bottom out and cut the side of 40 unit bean bags to end up with a 4’x12’ piece. I used around 100 of these to put down before rock when expanding my driveway. Took a lot of time, but ended up with a very sturdy base.

I've cut them then used them to pick cows or calves up if they go down on us.

I use them at harvest to bag and store Ear Corn in..

I also bag and store Peanuts in them and if I didn't own a grain bagger to store Shelled corn and wheat and If I had a big enough barn to store more.. I would use them for shelled corn and wheat..

Use to cover our Homestead water well during the winter. Doesn't get as cold down here down south but it works good.

We use them for fixing river and large ditch levees in emergencies. They have been in high demand the last few years around me.

Offer them to the local feed mill, or anyone who sales bulk feed. They might even buy them.

There has to be a Pinterest category for totes, shuttles, super sacks, and seed bins.

I used to have camouflage bags I sold soybeans in. Farmers used them for duck blinds after. No reason you can't fill with hay, spray camouflage paint and use as a blind with the added benefit of a wind break.

They work great in emergency flood situations. Use them as a make shift dumpster for the wife so only have to haul trash to dump one a month.

We keep some around to clean out our air drill. The archery range has a few that are packed full of other bags to catch arrows.
