Progressive Agriculture Safety Days
Progressive Agriculture Safety Days October 2020
It is downright scary the similarities grain has to quicksand. In a matter of seconds, one can become entrapped in grain and, in less than a minute, be fully submerged. Curiosity, size, strength and lack of experience are major causes of injuries and fatalities for young children. Through hands-on activities and demonstrations, we strongly emphasize the following to participants at Progressive Agriculture Safety Days:
1. Always stay out of flowing grain.

2. Never walk or play in or around stored grain.
3. Never enter a grain bin, wagon or truck.
4. Stay away from a grain bin while the unloading auger
or vacuum/suction tube is operating.
5. If there is an emergency involving grain, be sure to turn off any equipment that is causing the grain to flow or move. This will stop the person from being pulled further underneath the grain. Call for help immediately. Never attempt to pull someone out of grain on your own.
