Today, Minnesota had our 3rd grain bin entrapment of 2026.
This makes us the current national leader of bin entrapments.
Not a great badge of honor to have.
I have statistics going back over 10 years and this is the highest amount of entrapments we have had this early in the year.
Not to mention that the most entrapments happen in June & July in Minnesota. Were not even close to the "busy" season.
PLEASE help spread the word!
1. Do not go in bins with the unloading equipment running!
2. Have someone watch over you when you are in the bin. Family, friends, or even neighbors will be glad to help make sure you are safe in the bin. All you have to do is ask!
Dont just like this post. Share it on your page so that more people get the message!
Picture for attention only.
