Wisconsin dairy and livestock farms are using silo bags, bunkers and wrapped bales at a dramatically increased rate over the last decade. Each of these tools relies on low-density polyethylene, a plastic film that provides a low-cost method for storing high-quality forages. It’s estimated that over 55 million pounds of LDPE thermoplastic is sold annually to Wisconsin farmers. But although Ag plastics are increasingly popular, their disposal has become a big issue on many farms.
