Grain bin safety has become top of mind following multiple entrapments
across the Midwest this winter.
In southern Minnesota, a recent farm show featured a grain bin simulator that organizer Michele Schroeder says demonstrates what happens when trapped in grain.
“I did get a chance, as well as my husband, to be a part of the demonstration and the simulator that was there. I couldn’t believe that once you’re in grain, it’s hard to move.”
She tells Brownfield a Minnesota farmer who was trapped in a grain bin last year spoke about his experience.
