Grain Bin Safety: Rules Jesse Should Live By
We dig into grain bin safety and the mindset traps that lead to bad choices, then lay out practical steps to cool, vent, and core stored corn so it keeps through winter. The message is simple: your life is worth more than a full bin and a faster harvest.
• harvest fatigue and rushing tempt risky shortcuts
• why “I’ve done it before” thinking is dangerous
• don’t enter bins under any circumstance
• harness up and tie off on ladders and catwalks
• installing or using tie-off points on older and newer bins
• the physics of flowing grain and suffocation risk
• cooling hot-dumped corn with fans in cold weather
• venting humid air at the peak to prevent crust
• scheduling coring to remove fines and maintain airflow
• monitoring temperature, moisture, and conditions
• local harvest wrap-up and hybrid standability notes
