Any decorations left after that date will be removed. GRAIN BIN RESCUE CONTEST: The Ohio Farm Bureau is holding its annual Grain Bin Rescue contest. Each year, thousands of farmers and commercial grain handlers risk their lives by entering grain bins to remove clumped or rotted grain. Nationwide is teaming up with National Education Center for Agricultural Safety and others partnering to hold the Nominate Your Fire Department as part of Nationwide’s annual Grain Bin Safety Week Feb. 21 to 27.

Innovation helps save lives in grain bin entrapments

Pictured is the Great Stepped Wall, which is built exclusively for KC Supply. When a grain bin accident occurs in a rural community, the first line of defense is often the local fire department. Because the grain’s weight and frictional characteristics make it impossible for first responders to simply pull a victim out, special equipment and training are required for a successful rescue. Many fire departments lack both. “If a 165-pound person is trapped in grain to the waist, it takes 325 pounds of pressure to pull them out,” says Dan Neenan, director, National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS). “If trapped up to the neck, it requires 625 pounds of pressure. In either instance, you could injure the victim by trying to exert that much pressure.”
