If you work with customers who use grain bins, Holly Spangler, Farm Progress executive editor, and her team have compiled an amazingly powerful series of stories with a simple, critical message: grain bin safety procedures matter. Read the stories. Share them. Just one share may ensure your customer goes home tonight.
Source: Farm Progress, May 22, 2026. Link. “What I know from the 28 years I’ve written for Farm Progress is that farm safety stories with facts and figures don’t get read. Reminding you how many people die in grain bins every year doesn’t make a dent when you have 99 other things to do and you don’t think it’ll happen to you.”
But telling you about the family who has to drive past the bin where their husband or father or son died, every single day of their lives? I hope that makes a difference. And I hope you’ll read what they learned, and what they’ve changed on their farms.” Holly Spangler, Farm Progress
