Many grain bins are still full or nearly full. Getting the grain to te elevator safely should be a number one priority. We all hear that we should not enter a grain bin when it is full, but just how dangerous is that? Reader's Digest ran the story of a young Iowa farmer who was trapped in a bin. I have never read a first hand account of what it is like to be trapped. Arick Baker's story is well done and scary. If this does not scare you into being safe, I don't know what will.
Another thing to consider, is that local rescue squads need the bin rescue tubes for those time when something goes wrong. Here is a story about a donated rescue tube saving a life. A rescue would be nearly impossible alone, but here are some procedures to use. Note that turning everything off is priority one. Shut it down even before you dial 911.
