Subject: Almost another


Lapel, In
Almost another. Think it was in NW Ohio or maybe NE Indiana a few days ago.The near victim had his cell phone and quickly called his son. Buried up to his armpits,neighbors quickly cut the bin open to free him. Then they cleaned up 7,000 bushels of corn in only 2 hours. Story was related by a Deere and Company spray expert at a sprayer school. Experts say to first stop the auger and then cut triangle shaped cuts in the bin walls like this--V--in several places around the base of the bin. The vee can be hammered shut once the person is rescued.
