Unique Safety Device
Farmweek - October 1, 2010
Now that we're in the harvest season, a lot of soybeans and grains are being placed in storage bins. It's a time of relief when it's harvested, but it can be a time of danger. Grain bins can be unsafe, however, when the grain inside them becomes "stuck." Unsuspecting farm workers are killed each year across the united states as they try to get the grain flowing again in these bins. Delta Rice Services of Cleveland and Webb, Mississippi, has developed a way to break up the grain inside clogged bins and get it moving again without endangering its employees. Reporter: Artis Ford.
