It’s important for farmers to understand the risks of working around grain bins. “Wet grain typically leads to storage issues,” says Ken Hellevang, agricultural engineer, NDSU Extension. “That can lead to an increase in grain entrapment and other injuries.” Farmers are encouraged to work in teams and break up the crust from the outside of the bin. This farm safety reminder from the Red River Farm Network is made possible by the North Dakota Wheat Commission, the Minnesota Corn Growers Association and North Dakota Corn Utilization Council.
