Ten seconds. That is how quickly you can become entrapped in grain up to your waist while working in a grain bin. Twenty-five seconds. That is how long it takes to become completely submerged in grain. Each year, many people die from grain entrapment, and many more put themselves in critical near-death situations. Reducing risk starts with proper stored grain management to keep grain from going out of condition and crusting.
