Yesterday afternoon we made a 7x150 silage bag of oatlage. Closed it up about 9 pm. This morning it gassed up so much that the plastic is stretched to over the size of an 8 ft bag. We vented the gas but now have thin spots in the plastic. I think it was a combination of the gas and oats being a hollow stem plant them packed in then expanded during the night. Not sure what to do as have been told rebagging it now that is starting to ferment would not be a good idea. There is lots of air under the plastic and am afraid if it gets one small hole the entire bag could spoil. I have had a bagger for 25 years and done lots of bags but never seen this before. Tom
