A new movie titled “SILO” is
bringing the importance of ag safety to viewers across the US.
Producer Sam Goldberg tells Brownfield the film was inspired by a 2010 grain entrapment accident involving the death of two teenage boys in Mount Carroll, Illinois.
“We worked with fire rescue workers, professors, farmers, and everyone kind of knew somebody who had been in a farm accident, either injured or killed. I was surprised at how prevalent farm accidents are.”
Goldberg says the film soon became a plug for ag safety and was purposely released ahead of this year’s harvest.
