On-Farm Manure and Silo Gas Safety Training

October 7, 2015

On-Farm Manure and Silo Gas Safety Training

We will be meeting at the Fire Department at 6:30 to car-pool to the training site.

The training will occur at the farm of Leonard Nolt, 5031 Jessup Road. Leonard will agitate his pit and readings will be collected. A simulation rescue will be conducted by Emergency Management and the fire department. We will also take a walk around the farmstead for other safety discussions and head to the buggy shed for refreshments and Q & A. With corn silage harvest winding down and bunks covered and silos filled, silo gases can become a concern and the topic will also be covered.


Supported by a grant from the Agricultural Safety & Health Council of America.
