All of the videos I have seen of earthbag structures being built show people filling one bag at a time and then placing it.  Would it be possible to fill many bags at one time and then place them?  Say, fill 50 bags first and then  place them, fill another 50, etc.?

I'm not sure but it would be nice to queue them in the bucket of a tractor so you can transport and lift them near the point of application when the time comes.

Slower, but maybe easier on the back might be to fill them in place.  One book I read suggested using coffee cans for delivery of fill material to the higher courses.
