Safety Week ends
400 junior farmer
dangerobs gases are
reproduced in silos," ex-
plains John Turnbull,
director of the Canada Plan
Service at Agriculture
Canada's Engineering and
Statistical Research
Institute in Ottawa,
"Among the gases
produced are carbon dioxide
and oxides of nitrogen."
Carbon dioxide is
produced under normal
ensiling processes. Nitrogen
dioxide can be produced
under unusual conditions
such as excessive use of
fertilizer, silage made too
wet or abnormal weather
changes that affect crop
growth rate.
These gases are heavier
than air and form a
dangerous layer at the
Summer games for °Pen." If the silage is 30 feet or
more below the gooseneck of
s forage blower pipe, the
blower cannot ventilate the
silo properly. Also, a silage
distributor or silo unloader
suspended in the top of the
silo can interfere with the
, air-blast, reducing the ef-
fectiveness of the blower as a
ventilator.
Research is continuing on
the development of both a
portable vacuum fan for use
in silos and other places
where dangerous gases
might occur, and of ap-
proved long extension tubes
for gas detectors.
"Until these have been
developed, farmers will have
to continue to use their own
on-farm common sense,"
Mr. Turnbull says. "Perhaps
the best method available to
farmers is lowering a live
mouse in a cage down onto
the lowest part of the silage
for a minimum of five
minutes. Then pull it back up
for close inspection.
"Safety comes first,
particularly around the silo
and farmers should keep this
in mind during Farm Safety
Week and the balance of the
harvest."
Silos can be dangerous
During Farm Safety Week
from July 25 to 31 farmers
are reminded that silos can
be one of the most dangerous
places on the farm.
"As fresh forage ferments,
More than 400 Junior
Farmers from across On-
tario will compete in the
Junior Farmer Provincial
Summer Games at Guelph,
August 9.
"The annual provincial
summer games are one of
the highlights of the year,"
says Roy Westlake, a
member of the provincial
Junior Farmer executive.
"It gives everyone a chance
to get together to meet old
friends and make new
friends."
Each team or individual
competitor in the summer
games qualifies by winning
competitions at the county
or district level, and at the
zone level. There are seven
zones in the province.
Summer games events in-
clude men's and ladies' soft-
ball, track and field, swim-
ming, tug-of-war, rifle
shooting, horseshoe pitching
and tennis.
One of the highlights of the
1980 games is the obstacle
course, a new event this
year. Soccer has also been
lowest point in the silo above
the silage. They can also
spill over into the silo chute
and connecting feed room if
these are not properly
ventilated.
"Anyone entering a silo or
feed room where any of these
gases are present could
quickly be poisoned," Mr.
Turnbull says.
Nitrogen dioxide can cause
serious lung damage even if
death does not occur.
"Because of these
dangers, it is important that
farmers take proper
precautions when working in
and around their silo," Mr.
Turnbull says.
Ideally, air in a silo should
be tested for carbon dioxide,
nitric oxide and nitrogen
dioxide using equipment
certified by the United States
National Institute of
Occupational Safety and
Health.
"These approved detec-
tors are available to farmers
added to the list of activities
and, for the second time, the
provincial tractor safety
rodeo is being held in con-
junction with the summer
games.
The summer games offer
challenging competition for
the Junior Farmers, but
they also offer entertain-

"I wouldn't say we are

Winners of each competi-

at the evening dance.
All summer games events
will be held at the University
of Guelph. The games are
organized and sponsored by

Association of Ontario, a
rural youth organization for

of gas and associated lung
damage. Above all, never
assume there is no gas in
your silo even if the chute
