southern MN | My grain bin is 1400 bu, and my 1920's grainery has 3 bins that hold about 1000bu each.
The con crib held 4000 bu, when it was shelling time us kids were the ones to kick down the walls of ear corn to flow into the drag, coulda been dangerous if you started at the bottom early on, we were up on top after a lot had flowed down so never seemed a big deal.
Most of my grain I haul 3/4 mile to the coop elevator fresh off the combine, and I never see it after it passes through the grate.....
What actually happens in a big bin, why are people in it when it's full, and how does one get trapped?
When I walk across my 1000 bu bins the grain holds me, so obviously grain must be moving like an hourglass. But - if the grain is moving, why is anyone inside?
I'm just too dumb and inexperienced to understand the reasoning?
Perhaps this isn't the right thread to bring this up, certainly my condolences to the original poster.
