The Indiana Corn Marketing Council has been awarded the Nationwide 2023 Top Sponsor award for the partnership that brought rescue tubes and training sessions to rural communities around Indiana.
Courtney Kingery CEO of the Indiana Corn Marketing Council and the Indiana Soybean Alliance says every single grain bin entrapment is preventable. “By the corn farmers sponsoring this program, through the Corn Marketing Council and partnering with Nationwide Insurance, it’s about eliminating every one of those entrapments,” she says. “It’s about making sure the farmers go home at night and making sure they go home to their families every night.”
In 2022, there were 42 grain-related entrapments, a nearly 45% increase of 2021 and the highest number reported in over a decade.
