The real tragedy is that many people who've been caught in a grain wagon, bin or storage area did not understand the risks they were taking by being in such a situation. People often underestimate the speed and great force at which grain entrapments occur.

This curriculum is designed to reach rural youth at an age when many begin to work independently on the farm. They also may be responsible for younger siblings, who are just as curious about grain.

The activities provide youth with a safe environment to explore the math and science concepts related to flowing grain and, in the process, learn an important safety lesson.
