National Farm Safety and Health week is currently under way. With it already being harvest season, there are already several farm equipment vehicles such as tractors, and combines on our local roadways. Tractors and roadway related accidents are among the top farm-related accidents and fatalities in agriculture.

Please share these reminders to help spread awareness this fall. Let’s get both our farmers and motorists home safely this fall.

National Farm Safety and Health Week is a great time to review grain bin safety before harvest gets into full swing. Grain can engulf a person in seconds, making preparation and prevention critical.

Keep these grain bin safety tips in mind:
• Never enter a grain bin alone. Always use the buddy system and have someone nearby who can call for help if needed.

• Lock out and tag out all grain-handling equipment before entering a bin.

• Wear a safety harness connected to an anchor point outside the bin.

• Never walk on crusted or bridged grain. Hidden cavities beneath the surface can give way and trap you.

• Store grain at the proper moisture content and temperature and monitor conditions regularly to reduce the need for bin entry.

• Keep grain bin doors locked and restrict access, especially when children are on the farm.

A few minutes spent reviewing safety procedures today can help prevent a tragedy tomorrow.
