The Illinois Department of Labor along with the Farm Bureau is emphasizing the importance of grain bin safety for Lawrence County and area farmers during harvest time. The dangers of grain bins come from them being extremely tall with the danger of falling and the threat of someone becoming encased and essentially drowning in heavy grain inside. So far in 2020 11 grain entrapments have been reported across the state with four people dying.
