Grain Safety event scheduled for Thursday night in Hartfield...
The Chautauqua County Farm Bureau is sponsoring a 'Grain Bin Safety Event' Thursday at the Hartfield Fire Department.  Farm Bureau President Dick Kimball says he hopes farmers and first responders will attend, as there are some 75 such bins in Chautauqua County.  Kimball says getting stuck in one can become very dangerous... very quickly because it's "like quicksand."  The program runs from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday... and will include an actual demonstration of a person caught in a bin.  Kimball points out the flow of grain can get hung up on the side walls, and then someone has to go in and break-down the bridging.  The Thursday event is free and no registration is required.  Kimball adds the Farm Bureau has applied for a grant from Nationwide Insurance for a 'chute' that could aid in grain bin rescues.
