Workers in the grain handling industry are exposed to different life-threatening hazards daily. Here are a few tips to remember when entering a grain bin:
✔️ ALWAYS lockout and tag out unloading equipment before entering a bin.
✔️ NEVER work alone in a bin. Have someone watching who can call for help.
✔️ ALWAYS wear a harness and lifeline and do NOT "walk down the grain."

"It's imperative for consumers to know we care about the land - we live here, too. We care about our water - we drink it, too. We care about our animals - what they eat and the care they receive - because we eat the same meat, too." - Crystal Klug, Columbus, Neb.
Family farming accounts for 88% of the nation's agricultural production. Visit NECornsTalk.com to learn more about the difference between "family farming" and "corporate farming."
