They must be calling these "bins" now. When I was a kid we always called them "silos" but then again I never knew much about farming.

Who is here after the grain auger accident?

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

nmarkose I’ll admit I was curious what exactly he stepped in. So it’s a rotating blade like this, but in a little bin b/c he accidentally stepped in it.

I had no idea about this process. I was curious after reading about the recent death of young man working alone with a grain sweep in Minnesota. His Mom has some interesting ideas/suggestions to hopefully prevent a horrible accident happening again and a possible high tech way to avert tragedy if someone is alone and needs assistance.

Extremely dangerous practice.

Looks like fun though
