| Yesterday was probably the most dangerous day I spend all year. Getting bins ready to start corn. Climbing vertical ladders with a nut driver and cordless grease gun in my left hand, right hand letting go of rung and grabbing the next two rungs higher, straight up. I can still do it easily, and when I was younger, didn't give it another thought. I need to tie a light rope from the landing at the top of the bin to pull that stuff up. Then working at the top of the bins greasing bearings and crawling around on the dryer greasing, all with no safety attachments. Hard to do those jobs tethered up. So you darn right, it's damn dangerous. One wrong move or misplaced step and just about guaranteed dead. | |

Is farming that dangerous?
