Impact Report 2011 Union County Progressive Agriculture Safety Day Agent presented on grain storage and grain entrapments to 115 kids at the 2011 Union County Progressive Agriculture Safety Day. Agent explained the importance of grains to peoples existance, and why it is necessary to have grains. Then we discussed how to be safe around grain storage containers and trucks etc. We talked about the best thing to do if the kids witnessed someone trapped in grain and how to safely help them. Finally, agent had a demonstration trailer that they could witness how fast something can be submersed in flowing grain. It was a very powerful, and really caught the attention of the youth. Several kids said that they live around grain storage facilities and used to play in them but will not anymore after seeing what can happen.
