The Rural Voice, 1985-07, Page 39three seconds to become trapped in flowing grain. Within another 10 seconds you can be submerged. Innocent -looking grain storage bins have provided settings for hundreds of deaths and entrapments. Victims are most commonly engulfed while walking across the grain surface dur- ing unloading. The Farm Safety Association says there is a simple way to avoid this tragedy: "Never enter a grain bin while the unloading auger or suction tube is running." We will all be hearing much more about farm safety during this season that leads into harvest. July 25 to 31 is Farm Safety Week. Don't wait un- til then; set aside some time now to talk about safety with the entire fami- ly. The supper table could be a good, casual setting for such a discussion. It's much better than having an emp- ty spot at your table due to a fatal farm accident. El Phyllis Coulter lives in Stratford and is news editor for The Rural Voice.
