                          AG-BAG INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
                              (CUSIP NO. 001077106)

        This Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 2") relates to the
statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 20, 1997 and amended on August 25,
1997 ("Amended Schedule 13D") on behalf of The High View Fund, L.P., High View
Capital Corporation, The High View Fund, High View Asset Management Corporation,
Ernest P. Werlin, Peter J. Powers and Andrew M. Brown and is being filed on
behalf of the reporting persons (each a "Reporting Person" and, collectively,
the "Reporting Persons") enumerated in Item 2, below. Amendment No. 2 is being
filed to reflect, among other things, an increase in the percentage of the class
of securities held by the Reporting Persons as reported on Amended Schedule 13D.
Any capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined, shall have the
meaning ascribed to it in Amended Schedule 13D.

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

               (a) - (f)

               Item 2 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended by replacing the first
sentence therein with the following:

        This statement is being filed on behalf of a group consisting of the
following six Reporting Persons:

               Item 2 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended by deleting sub-part
(VI) in its entirety and by re-numbering sub-part (VII) as sub-part (VI).

               Item 2 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended further by deleting the
third paragraph on Page 10 in its entirety.

               Item 2 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended further by replacing
the last paragraph of that item with the following paragraph:

        The Delaware Fund, HVCC, the Cayman Fund, HVAM, Mr. Werlin and Mr.
Powers are making a group filing because, due to the relationships between and
among the Reporting Persons as described in Item 2 of Amended Schedule 13D and
as amended herein, such persons may be deemed to constitute a "group" for
purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. Each of such persons disclaims
beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by any other person and
disclaims membership in a group.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

               Item 3 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following
sentence to the first paragraph:

        In an open market transaction on September 17, 1997, the Delaware Fund
acquired 102,100 shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price of
$65,854.50, which amount was obtained from the working capital of the Delaware
Fund.

               Item 3 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended further by adding the
following sentence to the second paragraph:

        In an open market transaction on September 17, 1997, the Cayman Fund
acquired 45,150 shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price of $29,121.75,
which amount was obtained from the working capital of the Cayman Fund.

               Item 3 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended further by adding the
following sentence to the third paragraph:

        In a series of three open market transactions on September 4, September
16 and September 17, 1997, Ernest P. Werlin acquired 201,250 shares of Common
Stock for a total purchase price of $137,351.25, which amount was obtained from
Mr. Werlin's personal funds.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        (a) and (b)

               Item 5 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended by replacing the
paragraphs under the heading (a) - (b) as follows:

        (I) The Delaware Fund beneficially holds an aggregate of 783,966 shares
of Common Stock, which constitutes 6.5% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock.

                                                              Page 9 of 10 Pages


        (II) For purposes of Rule 13(d) under the Act, because HVCC is the sole
general partner of the Delaware Fund, and because it could be deemed to share
voting and dispositive power with the Delaware Fund over the shares of Common
Stock held by the Delaware Fund, HVCC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
of the shares of Common Stock held by the Delaware Fund. Therefore, HVCC may be
deemed to be the aggregate beneficial owner of 783,966 shares of Common Stock,
which constitutes 6.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. HVCC disclaims
beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by other persons.

        (III) The Cayman Fund beneficially holds an aggregate of 413,200 shares
of Common Stock, which constitutes 3.42% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock.

        (IV) For purposes of Rule 13(d) under the Act, because HVAM is the
investment manager to the Cayman Fund, and because it could be deemed to share
voting and dispositive power with the Cayman Fund over the shares of Common
Stock held by the Cayman Fund, HVAM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
the shares of Common Stock held by the Cayman Fund. Therefore, HVAM may be
deemed to be the aggregate beneficial owner of 413,200 shares of Common Stock,
which constitutes 3.42% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. HVAM
disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by other
persons.

        (V) Peter J. Powers is a director, Senior Vice President and Secretary
of HVCC, the general partner of the Delaware Fund. Mr. Powers is also Secretary,
Treasurer and Vice President of HVAM, the investment manager for the Cayman
Fund. Because of Mr. Powers's relationship to the Delaware Fund, and because he
could be deemed to share with HVCC and the other director and officer of HVCC
voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock held by the
Delaware Fund, for purposes of Rule 13(d) under the Act, Mr. Powers may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 783,966 shares of Common Stock held by
the Delaware Fund. Further, as Mr. Powers is also an officer of HVAM, because of
Mr. Powers's relationship to the Cayman Fund through his position at HVAM, and
because he may be deemed to share with HVAM and with the director and the other
officer of HVAM voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock
held by the Cayman Fund, for purposes of Rule 13(d) under the Act, Mr. Powers
may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 413,200 shares of Common Stock
held by the Cayman Fund. Therefore, Mr. Powers may be deemed to be the aggregate
beneficial owner of 1,197,166 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes 9.93% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Powers disclaims beneficial
ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by other persons.

        (VI) Ernest P. Werlin beneficially holds an aggregate of 245,250 shares
of Common Stock, which constitutes 2.03% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. In addition, because Mr. Werlin is the sole stockholder, a director, and
the President and Treasurer of HVCC, because of the relationship between HVCC
and the Delaware Fund, as discussed in this Item 5, and because therefore Mr.
Werlin may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with HVCC, the other
director and the other officer of HVCC, over the shares of Common Stock held by
the Delaware Fund, for purposes of Rule 13(d) under the Act, Mr. Werlin may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 783,966 shares of Common Stock held by
the Delaware Fund. Mr. Werlin is also the sole director, sole stockholder, and
the President of HVAM. Because of the positions he holds at HVAM, because of the
relationship between HVAM and the Cayman Fund, as discussed in this Item 5, and
because Mr. Werlin may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the
shares of Common Stock held by the Cayman Fund with HVAM and the other officer
of HVAM, for purposes of Rule 13(d) under the Act, Mr. Werlin may be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of the 413,200 shares of Common Stock held by the Cayman
Fund. Therefore, Mr. Werlin may be deemed to be the aggregate beneficial owner
of 1,442,416 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes 11.97% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. Mr. Werlin disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares
of Common Stock held by other persons.

               By reason of the relationships described in Item 2 and this Item
5 above, the Delaware Fund, HVCC, the Cayman Fund, HVAM, Mr. Werlin and Mr.
Powers may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5
under the Act. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Act, neither the filing of this
statement nor any of its contents shall be construed as an admission that any
person named herein is, for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act (or
pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(1) thereunder), the beneficial owner of any shares of
Common Stock held by other members of any such group. Additionally, the persons
named herein disclaim membership in a group.

               (c)

               Item 5 of Amended Schedule 13D is amended further by adding the
following paragraph to part (c):

               In an open market transaction on September 4, 1997, Ernest P.
Werlin purchased 24,000 shares of Common Stock for $.75 per share, and in an
open market transaction on September 16, 1997, Mr. Werlin purchased 30,000
shares of Common Stock for $.8125 per share. In open market transactions on
September 17, 1997, Ernest P. Werlin purchased 147,250 shares of Common Stock,
the Delaware Fund purchased 102,100 shares of Common Stock and the Cayman Fund
purchased 45,150 shares of Common Stock for $.645 per share. Except as discussed
in this Item 5(c), no other transactions in shares of Common Stock were effected
in the past 60 days by any of the Reporting Persons.
