Bianchi Show Director Amy LaTessa, CEM Operations Director Marshall Brown Marketing Manager Samantha Castro Operations Manager Wayne Koenig Sales Manager Brian Ruhl Sales Manager Scott Odin Show Coordinator Cailey Lantz Show Staff John Hawkins Show Staff Becca Bullard The IDEAg Team Media Center Staff Mace Thornton Dear Friends, Warm greetings to all of you who have taken the time to exhibit or visit Farmfest this year. Like many other annual events that have become a tradition and play an important role in defining who we are, 2014 would indeed be incomplete without a day or more of looking and listening at the beautiful Gilfillan Estate. It is a chance to meet old friends and make new ones. It’s also a chance to see and experience the very latest equipment and technology, which helped reach production goals never thought possible 40 years ago. When I started farming in 1974, new technology for me was a new tractor with a cab, air conditioning, and an automatic reset plow. Today, science and technology plays a dominant role in supporting and refining agriculture in the 21st century. For the past 33 years, Farmfest has been the event to showcase the precision agriculture that supports the abundant production enjoyed by our farmers and ranchers. So, if you are interested in equipment, you can find it all at Farmfest. If it’s agriculture policy and discussion you seek, Farmfest is on the “do not miss” list for publicly elected officials, commodity leaders, and future agricultural policymakers. My hearty congratulations to all the folks, both past and present, who have worked so hard to make Farmfest such a huge success and thanks to you for attending.

To avoid grain entrapment, stay out of grain bins. Oversimplified? Given all of the variables— probably. Yet, “There’s a direct correlation between grain entrapment incidents and out-ofcondition grain,” emphasizes Professor Bill Field, of Purdue University’s Agricultural Safety and Health Program. Simply put, “When you maintain stored grain quality, safety improves.” With 32 years of grain management experience and direct responsibility for six elevators, Bob Marlow has taken a strong stance on the grain quality/safety issue. Marlow, central region operations manager for The Andersons, volunteered one of his facilities to cooperate with Purdue University’s field studies to analyze the quality/safety relationship. Like Field, Marlow pays attention to the safety data and the causes of incidents. “The single leading factor that contributes to entering stored grain is that something happened to affect the grain quality resulting in slow or no discharge. In most cases, it’s not an equipment issue. The sump is plugged, fines have compacted and restricted flow . . . most engulfment tragedies are a result of someone trying to unplug a bin when grain can still draw down,” he says. Originally published in the February/March 2014 issue of Feed & Grain. 22 For more information visit Farmfest.com Cleanliness is key Increase employee awareness A well trained staff—or a poorly trained one—can make all the difference. Mistakes breed quality problems, “such as someone forgot to close a hatch and it was open during a rainstorm,” Laing says. Introducing stored grain to moisture is the No. 1 enemy of quality. That human component may never be eliminated, but grain quality management training for staff members may make people more aware of the unintended consequences of their actions. The Purdue University Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department offers extension programs on a variety of agriculture topics, including agriculture safety and health and post-harvest grain quality. For information, including resources for employee safety training, visit https://engineering.purdue. edu/ABE/InfoFor/Safety/ index.html. Grain quality management is an integral part of avoiding problems in storage bins, and it all starts with cleanliness of the bin before loading new grain. Don’t let this be you: “We’ve cleaned bins with tons of material that is hard as rock, bins with layers of grain that look like OSB board,” says Dave Laing, general manager of Mole•Master Services Corporation. The SLAM plan Problems are best avoided, Marlow suggests, by following a process that keeps bins and grain in proper condition. “We don’t often have the luxury of time (during harvest) to handle grain more slowly. Because you can’t always eliminate the risks when you put grain into storage, it’s important to recognize that you’re likely to have conditions that can lead to problems, and you need to go back and address those needs.” Marlow follows SLAM, a process detailed by Purdue to help ensure grain quality. S = Sanitize, Clean, Seal L = Load, Screen, Level, Core A = Aeration M = Monitor Does the plan involve time and expense? Yes. But if it helps you keep people from having to enter a confined space, it’s a worthwhile investment. The alternative to following SLAM? Grain quality problems have a compounding effect, Marlow points out. For example, you’re under the gun of a fast harvest. Some grain comes in too wet; some is high in fines. You crank up the heat on the dryer to keep grain moving, but that can lead to increased BCFM. The smaller particles restrict airflow through your bins. Aeration and cooling are less effective than needed, you get mold and hot spots, fines settle and compress, resulting in crusts or bridging that restricts or stops material from flowing. It leads to the type of situation where people assume their discharge equipment has failed and tragedy strikes.
