Labor Talk: Grain Bin Safety
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Grain handling and storage plays a very important role in Missouri farming. But working in grain bins can also be very dangerous. We visited with one farmer, Ron Hayes, who lost his son in a grain bin accident in 1993. Hayes started the F.I.G.H.T. Project (Families in Grief Hold Together) to share his story in hopes to educate farmers and future generations about the hazards when working with grain.
I know no one cares but I got here from that pigeon video.
Rain The Budgie same
I guess they did die from that. All that pressure... dang. :(

I did too.

When I was 6 my brother who was 9 and i climbed to the top of a 6000 bushel grain bin that was half full and the grain was being removed at the time . He said we should jump in and see who hits the grain first , what we didnt know is a crust had formed creating a pocket . We got in the doorway and I chickened out but he jumped . The last thing I saw was his hand sticking out above the grain. I climbed down the ladder and ran to get help but by the time help arrived he had suffocated. I still feel some guilt to this day .
This happened at Haas Farms in Delta ,Oh on November 4th in 1964 .
Please , farmers be safe and keep children away from the bins .
toledojeeper I'm sorry for your loss.
It wasn’t your fault friend, at that age neither of you could be responsible for your own, let alone each other’s actions.
omg! im so sorry for your loss!
damn
😢😢😭😭
Anyone else end up here high, watching a pigeon get hit by a train in HD, followed by the pigeons getting swallowed by a grain silo...
Tom Lo high as a kite
YO 😂
Yeah I il love how how our comments are each a year apart
Exactly
That poor man who lost his son, God bless him, my heart goes out to you.
I never knew of this kind of thing happening. I am glad this father is doing what is needed by educating people.
It happens… a lot.
I got curious about the grain bin scene in A Quiet Place and now I'm here lol
I did exactly the same!!!
Samesies lol
Criminal minds
We played in them as kids. A kid at school had his leg ripped off
Theresa Fenelon oh shit
Two farmers from my small home town died in two separate grain bin accidents only two months apart. Farm safety is not always taught in these smaller communities. I grew up on a farm and have been on top of piles of grain without any type of harness back in my youth. Hope this type of safety training continues to grow and safer extraction methods are developed. I'm guessing by now FFA teaches some of these safety practices but when I was growing up you were either warned by your Dad or by hearing about someone who died in a farm accident and learning from their mistakes. I've even heard of people getting killed outside the bin by the lower door and grain collapsing onto them. Now with grain bins getting larger and larger, seems like the problem is getting more common.
You can teach all the farm safety you want the farmers just don't care about safety.

I just saw a story about an aunt and her nephew who lost their life.
Why am I binge watching grain bin videos?
because of the blond girl in it?
@@robinsteendam1311 why are you replying to a 1 year old comment? Also the blonde girl did nothing. Also it's "isn't it"

You know nothing about grain bins and therefore do not say anything here anymore.
Don’t underestimate the pigeon hypnosis technique

I nearly jumped into a small grain silo when I was about nine or so, just because it looked fun. Fortunately I decided not to at the very last moment, and instead climbed back down. It was scary just how attractive the idea had been, and how much willpower I had needed to not do it.
in the late 70's i was in the back of a a bulk carrier directing the crane operator when he opened the hopper above my head rather than the front hopper and I was buried under 6 tons of grain i don't know how they got me out but I remember seeing the crane operator lying on the ground as my father had climbed the outside of the crane in his rage and reached in and dragged the man out of the crane window im just glad that both of us survived that day
thanks John
You're welcome.
Wow that’s so scary and interesting at the same time. A person such as me who doesn’t work in this type of industry would have no idea how dangerous this job is, from silos, hazardous machinery, to pesticides and so on. I have much respect and admiration for the hard work farm workers put in and the dangers they put themselves in to keep us fed. I’m very grateful and I pray for all those who have lost their lives in this horrible way.
Currently watching the game with my friends
I am just starting a new job tomorrow for Harvest season. Thanks for sharing this video, it has taught me something I was unaware of.
Watching this in 2024 after watching Zach films. Condolences to this kind man. So sorry about your son🙏✝️🤍
In my town today there was a guy who got stuck in a silo, he was stuck up to his CHIN. FD spent 4-6hrs to free him. It was also about 30 degrees and had been for a few days. Luckily he was well dressed. Heavy coveralls and extra layers under. When he got down he walked like a stiff stick and had dust all over him. Ive been looking at these youtube vids since lol
Well, it could have gone a lot worse.
If only someone showed this video to those pigeons 😔😔
Looked up the dangers associated with Silos because this article caught my attention. Very tragic news, condolences to the family. "Boy, 13, and aunt, 33, die in grain silo after she jumped in to save him."
Why can't they build grids across the grain bin that ride on top of the grain. Even if they were made a every 6 feet the grain could pass thru but not a person.
Grain that sits for a while clumps together. Putting in grids would create blockages to the flow, & require someone to go in & clear them. You'd end up increasing the risk of accident rather than reducing it.
Great idea
jim jon Install it above the grain line maybe?
Its. Grain sinking party
Add vibrations to the grid also
60 years ago, farm hand got sucked in waist deep, no shirt, and hornets attacked him. Almost died from bee stings cause he was trapped. I still remember screaming and the other guys trying to help get him out.
Wow I can't even imagine that.
Glad her Mother's blouse is still getting use after all these years.
Lol!... so funny!
I think the Amish wear them 🙄
Now I know what happened to those pigeons
This isn't rocket science. Anyone who enters a silo should wear a harness with a rope that is attached to a bar at the top of the silo. Just like the harness and rope system people use for safety when rock climbing.
Hmm, you say that.... but I can see it not being common sense for a farm visitor. OR, if the father never teaches the son because he understands it to be so..... but the son never is told explicitly.
Of course it's not rocket science but people are very commonly underestimating dangers in their day to day lives.
You see in the background the material to simulate the weight of having to pull up a person with the additional weight of corn/wheat/... on top.
It's not wrong to raise and renew awareness of your day to day dangers
2 workers Died in my town a cpl days ago they got stuck in the grain silo it's so sad
That is too bad.
God rest Pat, and God bless Ron.
So sorry for his loss and bless you for educating people!
Yes and it is sad.
0:43 *when you’re in the desert in Minecraft and you accidentally mine loose sand that was covering a cave:*
When you're making mincrift reddit jokes XD about a grain silo video because you're drunk at 5am
I am reading comments and all I was thinking was feeling bad for this man loosing his son in the way he did.
As a father of a 6 and 7 year old boy and girl I don't know how you overcome losing them knowing they died a prolonged 90 seconds suffocating. 😢
I have never even worked around a grain bin.
I came here interested in how this happens.
Instead I feel really bad for this man.
Great safety video. Unseen dangers are all around us.
I just came here to understand what is the grain grinder mechanism , to make sure the sucked pigeons survived.
The pigeons send their regards.
This man is good man. Rarity now a days. Horrible he had to endure such a traumatic event and loss.
What a horrible way to go.
90 seconds is still incredibly long
I dont want my death to last 90 seconds
the best way to provent it is put a pad lock on the door at least the kid can not go inside the silo so at least farmer worker will have a key
my dad told me a guy fell inside this thing and they’ve been trying to get him out for 3 hours and he’s probably dead by now...
This a year old but did he die?
@@RUclipsaccount-fc1ix yea....
@@RUclipsaccount-fc1ix it was very sad
@@nicoleelizabeth4270 damnnnn
RIP
I just saw the YT shorts about a boy who sinks in corn grain...and I don't think that's possible until I found this video
we learn everyday not in school
What if you simply ate the corn
Is there something like this, but smaller and for sand? I would like these
John Wilson brought me here.
2:13 Hi John
I got here from "The Dressmaker" movie when Teddy jumps in a silo of Sorghum
SopranoJessi so sad
Great video, thanks
The pigeon needs to watch this or otherwise...
Smart information, thanks for sharing!
I'm here because of a scene in THE DRESS MAKER. I wasn't sure how the character died since he often played in the silo before.
is it really that hard to put some sort of grate thats capable of stopping people falling in but lartge enough grain can go through
poor guy.
Couldn't a silo be designed to have a blender type function or some kind of mixing component so people don't have to climb inside? Farming has been around for centuries. Seems like someone would have fixed this issue by now.
That would require a significant amount of power.
There are vibro silos and mixing silos too. Most of vibro types are out of order and mixers are extremely expensive
Why are people going inside those things?
Im staying the hell away from grain silos
Do they suffocate from no air, or compression from the grain?
Just hire pigeons to do the work.
90 seconds probably felt like a lifetime suffocating in that grain. So sad
John brought me here.
So who is the pretty woman interviewing? 🧐😂
The pigeons’s went to the Great Silo in the sky 😔
Could they use hatch netting inside of them?
Hi amy great video :)
I'm here because of How to with John Wilson XD
how fast would the death be? would it hurt?
Wait this isn’t fallout...
Grain bins look so scary
Heard they were dangerous wanted to know why. I get it.
Just wear a harness attached to the top of the silo?
I am here after watching pigeons sucked into a grain grinder silo. Flour doesnt just contain grain and bugs I guess.
I was curious and watched this because of pigeons getting sucked in
Thats grains revenge
Safety only when someone you love dies.
Big grate at the top should help imo
Like quick sand…think quick sand.
here from how to with john wilson.
So that’s what happened to those pigeons
Be safe the being sorry
What's this guy's accent? To me as a German, it sounds like a stereotypical Texan accent.
Stay way from grain bins. Taking notes. 📝
How do people fall in?!
I'm a farmer with 40+ years experience in grain bins since I was a boy.
The bins are emptied at the center of the bottom of the bin. As the corn is being taken out of the bin it creates a funnel towards the center and the corn (or other grain) actually "avalanches" into the center. Corn weighs 56 to 60 lbs per bushel (which is about 8 gallons) so imagine being surrounded up to your waist in 1000 bushels of corn.
How do people fall in? Well the mistake they make is just being in the bin, standing in the corn while it is being taken out. If a person gets too close to the center or the low point of that funnel and he's already knee deep in the corn, his chances of getting himself out are very, very slim. Also, dry corn is very difficult to even walk across because your feet will sink almost a foot with each step.
When I was a kid in the early 80s, our biggest bin was only 15 feet in diameter. In a small bin like that you can probably get away with being inside while the bin is being emptied, although it is still very dangerous. Today, my biggest bin is 48 feet in diameter so from the outside wall to the center there is 24 feet of "avalanching" corn and there can be as much as 2000 bushels of corn that avalanches in just a few seconds. In a 15 foot diameter bin there might only be 100 bushels. Plus, many of today's large bins empty twice as fast as they did 30 years ago, which increases the level of danger by being in the bin.
Never ever get on top of the grain in a bin while it is being emptied.
Why did it take him 1 year to figure that out? Wtf lol
That gay John Wilson show made me think of this
Jigsaw was inspired by this video
I’d like to see a mouse in there
Terrifying
They should make a grid over top of the grain so if someone goes in they get electrocuted and paralyzed till help arrives.
pigeon bread...
Screw this, just eat the corn 🌽
