Farmers urged to take extra precaution around grain bins

Since 1962, there have been almost 200 grain bin accidents in the state and Minnesota is one of the top three states, alongside Iowa and Indiana. In the past year, eight people have died from grain bin accidents. However, more than just user error is to blame. "I have a heavy heart thinking about that when you think about how that's affecting farm families, and young families especially," said local farmer Matt Alford.
