Our Forage Products
Our forage product line has several items to help reduce loss when storing silage and other raw materials. Our forage specialists are available to explain to you the benefits of using such products.
We are proud to carry these products from the companies listed below, visit their websites for specific details on their products.
BonSilage
Alfa
BONSILAGE ALFA ensures a reliable fermentation process for alfalfa haylages in standard to upper dry matter ranges. BONSILAGE ALFA quickly lowers the pH, effectively inhibits clostridia growth and decreases the risk of butyric acid fermentation. BONSILAGE ALFA also forms acetic acid which lowers the risk of reheating during feed out.
Classic
BONSILAGE CLASSIC ensures a reliable fermentation process for all types of silages in low to standard dry matter ranges. BONSILAGE CLASSIC quickly lowers the pH and, thus, inactivates enzymatic degradation processes.
Corn +
Our premium inoculant, BONSILAGE CORN+ WS, promotes a reliable fermentation process for whole plant corn and sorghum silages. After a rapid pH drop, the high number of Lactobacillus buchneri ensures the controlled formation of acetic acid, which provides a maximum level of protection against reheating. BONSILAGE CORN+ WS improves the digestibility and energy density of the forage. It also facilitates significant amounts of propylene glycol, which has been shown to benefit cow health, especially in early lactation.
Forte
BONSILAGE FORTE WS is developed specifically for all types of wet and hard-to-ensile silages in the lower dry matter ranges, which often show high ash content with a high buffering capacity. BONSILAGE FORTE WS quickly lowers the pH, effectively inhibits clostridia growth and decreases the risk of butyric acid fermentation. This process reduces the protein breakdown that typically occurs with wet silages.
Speed C
Our premium inoculant BONSILAGE SPEED ensures a reliable fermentation process for whole plant corn, sorghum and small grain silages as well as high moisture corn and snaplage. After a rapid pH drop, Lb. diolivorans ensures the controlled and rapid formation of acetic acid, which provides a maximum level of protection against reheating. BONSILAGE SPEED improves the digestibility and energy density o the forage. The fast acetic acid formation results in aerobically stable silages after only a few days of fermentation.

Other Products
Silage Plastic Repair Tape
Our vinyl repair tape is made specifically for quick and easy, yet long-lasting repairs to agricultural plastic films, including punctures and tears on silage bags, grain bags, bunker covers, and bale wraps.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Soft, conformable vinyl with aggressive adhesive coat for durable repairs
- Resists wear, UV radiation, water and corrosive chemicals
- Provides good vapor barrier protection
Bag Vent
Poly-Pipe can help you lower water usage in two ways. First, the dry headland allows access to all of the gates. This permits the irrigator to make precise adjustments so the correct amount of water is released for the conditions. This accurate control also ensures that all of the water will reach the furrow ends at the same time, minimizing tail water waste. Second, Poly-Pipe can increase your irrigation setting. Installation Our Poly-Pipe is a long, seamless, lay flat tube packaged in convenient rolls which can be unwound from the back of a truck, tractor, or manually by two workers. It eliminates the costly operation of plowing out new ditches and reinserting siphon tubes. Ideally, it should be placed in a clean, shallow furrow 3 to 5 inches deep to prevent it from rolling when filled with water. The pump end is easily fastened to the discharge pipe (which must be at ground level) with a rubber tarp strap or large clamp. Elevate the open end 2 to 3 feet and never tie it off. The set-up operation usually takes less than half a day.
Silage Bag Zipper Seals
Used to seal large-sized grain and silage bags, the grain bag zipper system is the easiest and most efficient way to ensure large-field ag-bags are sealed tight. No more crawling around on the ground screwing 2×4’s together. The system ensures whatever you need sealed will be protected from rodents, pests or the damaging effects of moisture.
