You know the dangers, and you’ve heard the stories.
Grain bin and manure pits can turn deadly in an instant — but three upcoming events from the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety can help you with the training and knowledge to keep yourself, your family, and your employees safe.
The grain bin safety program is intended for co-ops, farm operators, employees, and agriculture business owners, while the manure pit safety program is intended for commercial manure applicators, farm operators, and workers and agriculture business owners
