It's national Grain Bin Safety Week

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue issued a proclamation naming Feb. 16-22 Grain Bin Safety Week. Last week, the secretary sat down with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to talk about the importance of grain bin safety on the farm. Noem grew up on a farm in Hamlin County, South Dakota, and has a personal connection to farm safety – her father was killed in a grain bin accident. She has been an advocate for increased grain bin safety efforts for years.
