Grain sacks are large bags made of burlap, canvas, or woven material, used for storing and transporting grain.

The coarse fabric has become valued for rustic decor and crafts: She made curtains from vintage grain sacks.

Historically, grain sacks often bore printed labels identifying mills or farms, making antique examples collectible.
