Using A Sweep Auger To Empty Out A Grain Bin

My husband uses a sweep auger to help empty dried corn out of our grain bin. This is on our farm in northeast Kansas.

ABOUT ME: My husband and I have a farm in northeast Kansas where we have a cattle herd, and
raise row crops (corn and soybeans). Hubby has been farming all his life, but I came late to this farming thing when we married over 10 years ago. My videos show the daily doings on the farm from calving to corn harvest, and everything in between. Farming is a 365 day per year job, all day and sometimes into the night. It is by turns frustrating, exhausting, full of hardship and disappointment. But it also has many rewards, from the glory of a sunrise over a field of corn just popping up in the spring, to watching a calf take it's first breath.

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?

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.
