Reed says the course, which has been
offered since 2007, blends the best
practices of experienced grain managers
with the best storage science.
Over the past 20 years of working
directly with elevator managers, I have
observed many different grain man-
agement practices, says Reed. I have
used research to determine which ap-
proaches to grain reception, fumiga-
tion, and aeration fan management,
among others, provide the best grain
protection at the lowest cost.
He also notes that participants typ-
ically learn a lot from each other, as
they interact and complete exercises.

NGFA VICE PRESIDENT DISCUSSES OSHA, EPA, FMSA ISSUES FACING INDUSTRY
Jess McCluer has been vice president
of safety and regulatory affairs at the
National Grain and Feed Association
(NGFA) in Washington, DC since 2007.
As such, he serves as staff liaison to such
regulatory agencies as the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) and Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Early in August, Grain Journal
submitted questions to McCluer to get
an update on a number of regulatory
and safety-related issues of concern to the
grain and feed industries.
What are the big safety issues
that elevator managers should be

2017?
Preparing bins for
harvest. Incidents poten-
tially can occur when a
worker stands next to or
underneath bridged or
hanging grain inside of
a grain bin. Therefore,
as the fall harvest draws
near, the NGFA is
pleased to introduce a
new seasonal Safety
Tips sheet for safety in the workplace.
These documents are designed to
provide more information on certain
types of hazards and
suggested ways to protect
employees through safety
best practices.
In this inaugural
NGFA Safety Tips sheet,
appropriate methods for
bin entry are outlined for
grain handling facilities
preparing for fall harvest.
The document covers
issues that facilities
Jess McCluer should address before an
employee enters a bin,
and the roles of both supervisors and
employees, if it is determined that
entering a bin is necessary. (To view the
Safety Tip, go to www.grainnet.com/

This new safety series is authored
by Jim Seibert who has joined NGFA

as manager of training, safety, and
regulatory affairs (see p. 154). Seibert
is responsible for developing new
education and training materials to
assist NGFA members in complying
with safety, health, and other
regulatory requirements. He also will
be involved in reviewing and updating
the NGFAs extensive inventory of
employee safety education, training,
and information materials, as well as
addressing grain, feed, and processing
facility operations issues.
Are there any other issues the
industry should be following right
now?

programs (LEPs) for grain handling

Under an LEP, OSHA compliance,
safety, and health officers are required
to conduct inspections of grain
elevators or any other facility listed
under the scope of the directive that
are under federal OSHA jurisdiction.
The LEP calls for inspectors to focus
on the hazards of engulfment, falls,
entanglement in augers, combustible
dust explosions, electrocution, and
struck-by hazards. Further, there is not
a specific number of grain handling
facilities targeted for inspection. The
LEP lasts for one fiscal year before
being considered for renewal.

OSHA inspection targeting programs,

It is anticipated that almost all of

Response No. 101
Injury and illness recordkeeping.
OSHA recently amended its record-
keeping regulations to require many
employers to submit OSHA 300 logs,
OSHA 301 forms, and OSHA 300A
summaries to the agency electroni-
cally. The NGFA recently developed
a guidance document (www.grainnet.
com/NGFA_Recordkeeping_Document)
that outlines the significant aspects of
the rule and proactive steps employers
can take to avoid costly enforcement
and litigation.
The amendments, which were
published in the Federal Register
on May 12, also include provisions
designed to prevent employers from
retaliating against employees for
reporting work-related injuries or
illnesses. To abate alleged violations
of these provisions, OSHA may order
employers to reinstate employees or
provide them back pay.
These significant changes will allow
OSHA and other parties including
labor unions and plaintiffs attorneys
to access injury and illness data
and also create a new cause of
Response No. 111

action for employees who claim their
employer retaliated against them for
reporting a work-related injury or
illness. NGFA submitted extensive
comments opposing the proposed rule
in 2014.
Further, under the whistleblower
protections of Section 11(c), OSHA is
granting itself the authority to issue a
citation, where it believes an employer
has suppressed an employee from re-
porting an injury regardless of whether
an employee has filed a whistleblower
claim.
This could be the potential
mechanism for OSHA to go after
safety incentive programs, since the
agency currently believes they inhibit
employees from coming forward.
OSHA said the changes are
designed to prevent employers
from retaliating against employees
for reporting work-related injuries
or illnesses. The final rule became
effective on Aug. 10, 2016, but OSHA
has delayed its enforcement until Nov.
1, 2016, in order to provide outreach

to stakeholders.
These new rules require certain
employer policies to be re-evaluated
including the anti-retaliation policy
and employee training. Employers
should take steps to ensure that they
are in compliance with OSHA and
local laws and regulations as quickly
as possible. Proactive steps in the face
of this regulatory scrutiny now may
allow the employer to avoid costly

enforcement and litigation in the
future.
Are there any issues coming out
of EPA that the industry should be
following right now?
The NGFA learned in May that the
White House Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) has classified
the proposed amendments to NSPS
Subpart DD Grain Elevators as
a significant regulatory action,
which means it will conduct a full
90-day intraagency review of the
final version of EPAs new source
performance standard (NSPS). OMBs
reclassification of the NSPS-proposed
amendments is very important, as it
will provide an NGFA-led coalition
heightened access to OMB to discuss
the policy issues in the final rule.
In EPAs final version, proposed
amendments have been modified to
address concerns that were raised in
the coalitions comments. Specifically,
the percentage for temporary storage
classification has been reduced
Response No. 131
 but not completely eliminated, and modifications have
been made to the monitoring requirements. As a result,
EPA is making changes to its initial cost-benefit analysis.
In late August, EPA completed and submitted the final
package to the OMB for a 90-day review. EPAs Office of
Policy has included the NSPS for grain elevators as one of
the rules that it would like to complete by the end of 2016.

Where is the industry at right now with the ongoing

implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act
(FSMA) rules?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued
final requirements for all the major rules the agency was
required to establish under FSMA. The first compliance
date for FDAs cornerstone rules that established current
good manufacturing practices CGMP and preventive
control requirements for human and animal food was Sept.
19, 2016. On that date, covered human food facilities
that are considered large businesses are expected to be in
compliance with all of the rules major requirements. In
contrast, Sept. 16, 2016 represented the date when large
animal food facilities are to be in compliance with the
CGMP part of the animal food rule. Large animal food
facilities have until Sept. 18, 2017 to be in compliance
with the preventive controls provisions of the animal food
rule.
The NGFA has conducted numerous regional FSMA
seminars over the past six months to help educate the
grain and feed industry about the new requirements
and compliance obligations, with more 1,000 industry
representatives attending. In addition, the NGFA is engaged
actively in delivering training developed through the
Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance that is designed
to inform the industry on how to comply with CGMP
and preventive controls rule. The industry still has many
questions about the new requirements, and the NGFA is
working to address that need.

Depending on who wins the presidential election,

what effects, if any, do you foresee on the regulatory
climate in the grain industry?
In the safety, health, and environmental area, we believe
that a Clinton administration will continue with the same
regulatory agenda and enforcement policies as the current
Obama administration. With a Trump administration, we
anticipate that the emphasis on regulatory and enforcement
programs will be redirected to education and consultation.
We look forward to providing input to either adminis-
trations transition team on these issues and will reach out
to the new administration to advocate the industrys views.

 Best Safety Training Ideas
WHETHER HANDS-ON TRAINING OR GROUP DISCUSSION, MAKE SAFETY A PRIORITY.
Safety practices are only good if people
are following them. Grain Journal spoke
with a number of grain industry safety
professionals to find out about their best
safety training ideas and how they get
employees engaged in the process.
Pete Trotter
Safety Manager
FS Grain
Morris, IL
I have to say the first and probably
most valuable training mechanism that I
use is to have the students train themselves.
By that I mean, if you can get them en-
gaged and involved enough in the training
activity that theyre actually volunteering
to do things, they will learn a lot more.
For example, the discussion I was
having this morning at this elevator
involved the facility manager and the
assistant manager regarding an injury in
the situation of a slip and fall. I was try-
ing to impress on them the importance
of reporting near misses.
The way it came across, the guy
actually started talking to me about a

near miss on his own in the training that
we were doing. It was really effective,
because he heard both what I was say-
ing and thinking, and he was actively
engaged in the discussion. Hes actually
going to continue thinking about it. Itll
be more memorable for him later on.
The second mechanism that I try
to use is training entirely with YouTube
videos. Some of the best training Ive
seen about grain dust explosions has
been people talking about it on You-
Tube. Using YouTube or other video
tools just breaks up the training, makes
it more interesting and gripping, and
you can do a lot with it.
If you give them a typical hour-
long video, youre going to have some
of them go to sleep. If you talk for 15
or 20 minutes, and you intersperse five
YouTube videos, theyre going to be
awake the whole time.
Butch Hendrix
Safety Director
Kokomo Grain Co. Inc.
Kokomo, IN
When I train our employees, I try
to use a classroom-style approach with
PowerPoint presentations that includes
pictures I take at our locations. The
presentation is based on our operations.
After that, I go out to operations area
to do any hands on activities such as
lockout/tagout, confined space opera-
tions, bin entry, etc.
While doing the training with
our employees, I also engage them in
a two-way conversation. Ill ask ques-
tions about how they do certain tasks or
operations that help to develop written
programs and training. This approach
usually gets more of the employees talk-
ing about safer ways of doing things.
It seems to help newer employees get
adjusted to recognizing the hazards they
will be exposed to, and how to avoid
injury as they relate to different hazards
in facility operations.
_________________________
When we do training, I like
to have smaller groups of 12 at
a time. Then I will break the
group into three tables of four,
and that way they can work to-
gether, and we can have discus-
sion between tables about how
they answered the questions and
any ideas they have to improve
the way we do things.

I believe one of the most successful
things I do during training is to conduct
the training on their turf, out in the
shop or the employee breakroom, etc.
I dont always bring them into the office
conference room where sometimes they
feel uncomfortable.
Hans McDonald

I focus on three different areas.
First, for me, training has always been
to convey information to keep people
safe and to keep our facilities operating
safely and efficiently. Most importantly,
training is about developing our Lan-
sing culture. You hear that word kicked
around a lot, but to me, culture means
what people are doing when youre not
watching. What are they really remem-
bering, and what are they really doing,
when the boss isnt watching?
Two training methods that have really
worked well for me over the years is first,
group discussions. I know that can

tend to make people a bit uncomfortable,
but take the time to sit down as a group
with both seasonal and full-time employ-
ees at the same time. Everybody is sitting
down, discussing, and making sure that
we are understanding how a particular
training requirement is applied to each
specific site and each specific employee
at that location. I think the notion of a
group discussion is one training method
that has worked very well.
The second area is performance
observation. Whether its after classroom
training or after hands-on training, its
actually taking the time to observe how
that employee is performing the task.
Make sure that theyre following through
and doing things according to how you
trained them. Without that, you cant
confirm whether they need additional
training or whether theyre developing
and improving that culture.

I see the best results with hands-

on safety training. Employees seem to
understand their training faster, when
they physically go through the process
of filling out paperwork, using safety
equipment, and performing a lockout/
tagout. This also forces the employees
to be more interactive during train-
ing, which makes them comfortable
enough to ask more questions than in a
classroom setting. Classroom training is

Decentralize employee safety train-
ing by holding location supervisors
accountable for conducting employee
training. Supervisors have the working
relationship with the employees who
report to them. That makes them more
effective in conducting the training and
creating team accountability.
As a result, employees engage each
other in working safely and become a
cohesive team watching out for the safety
of others in their workgroup.

Where possible, using hands-on
training for different scenarios provides
us with an approach where our staff
can work through different cases 
Response No. 191
and know what it feels and looks
like to do something correctly and
safely.
Being able to utilize our employees
and their knowledge is a great way to
promote safety training. We can use
past experiences either good or bad
and learn how best to move forward.
In pairing more experienced workers
with those new to the job, we can learn
how the past makes us better while also
learning how the new can bring issues
to light.
Rebecca Fenton

The most effective method I have
found is hands-on training. Working
alongside employees and showing them
exactly what youre expecting generally
helps them grasp it a little bit better.
What I have found to be the most ef-
fective in the industry that Im in now
is classroom-type training followed by
hands-on.
For example, we would start in a
Response No. 201
20 GJ S/O
classroom and I would go over things
like, Heres whats going on, heres what
we expect of you, here are our policies,
and here is how we want you to handle
these things.
Then, when the opportunity pres-
ents itself, go out with those employees
and do it with them, take that oppor-
tunity to be involved with them in the
projects. Not only does it help them
grasp the concepts, but it also helps

Then I will break the group into
three tables of four, and that way
they can work together, and we can
have discussion between tables about
how they answered questions and any
ideas they have to improve the way
we do things.
I usually write a two- to three-

facilities and a problem that could
arise. Then I will write three to six
questions about what happened in
the scenario, and we have a discus-
sion about their ideas and answers.

Workplace Culture and Safety
ESTABLISHING A SAFE WORKPLACE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERSHIP
First in a Series
This is the first of three articles based
on a presentation by Don Groover, se-
nior vice president of DEKRA Insight,
Horton, KS; 785-486-2882. He spoke
Aug. 4 at the 2016 Safety/Grain/
Quality Conference in Omaha, NE
sponsored by the National Grain and
Feed Association and Grain Journal.
There is a lot of talk these days
about creating a safety culture in the
workplace. However, safety culture is a
myth. Its all workplace culture.
Culture is a creation of a companys
values. It can be argued that culture
Response No. 281

is the creation of all of the
organizations values taken

service, environmental pro-
tection, employee health,
productivity, product qual-

service culture, or quality

culture.
However, it also can be argued that
safety is the foundation of a compa-
nys culture, both physical and psy-
chological. Thats because, more than
any other value, safety depends on the
relationship between company leader-
ship and employees. Trust and respect
between leaders and employ-
ees is crucial. In a strong rela-
tionship, there is a willingness
to reciprocate between leaders
and employees.
Transformation Through
Safety
For any transformational
change in an organization,
safety is the foundation. Focus
on that first. After all, we all want to
be safe. We all want to go home to our
families and friends after work. If you
can get safety right, thats the foundation
for everything else. (See chart on p. 30.)
If youre chasing after the causes of
injuries that have already happened,
thats not getting safety right.
Instead, focus on exposures to risk in
the workplace. You can never eliminate
100% of all exposures in the workplace.
Instead, work to align your people,
equipment, and procedures to reduce
exposures to an acceptable level. Your
job as a leader is to squeeze out the
exposures over time.
Exposures can and should be priori-
tized. Exposures with the potential to
kill or maim employees have the number
one priority.
The job of the safety leader is to show
employees the exposures that could
endanger them and then provide the
knowledge of how to stay safe in the
presence of these exposures.
It Comes Down to the Leaders
Some manager see their employees as
the enemy. Thats a culture, too, though
not one likely to promote safety.
Culture is created by the leadership.
Using safety as the foundation for cul-
ture means that leaders have to get out
into the field, into the elevators, and
spot moments where safety education
is possible.
A lot of safety leadership training will
give you a list of safety leadership

to really transform the culture into one

Transformational leadership has four
components:
1. Inspiring. A transformational

Take a look at the safety severity

incidents fatalities and serious inju-

the seemingly less serious incidents:
OSHA-recordable and first
aid injuries.
Near misses and property damage.
Hazards identified.

a serious injury or fatality. These
incidents represent uncontrolled

of root cause analysis is to find ways

want to look bad. This manifests itself
in several ways:
A reluctance to look for problems.
A lack of desire to report near misses.
Defensiveness.
Poor incident investigations that
blame the easiest target and fail to ad-
dress root causes.
We find the 21% through following
these methods strictly from the top of
the company to the newest hires:
Near miss and property damage
reporting.
Hazard reporting.
Employee safety suggestions.
Proactive incident reporting.
Routine plant inspections.
Safety auditing.
Hierarchy of Controls
The illustration above shows a hierar-
chy of controls once root causes are found
listed from the most effective at the top
to the least effective at the bottom.
Eliminating the hazard or risk is
clearly the most effective means of deal-
ing with the root cause of an incident.
The reason the reverse-pyramid hierar-
chy exists however is that realistically,
it isnt always possible to eliminate the
hazard. In a few cases, the only means
available is the use of PPE, the least ef-
fective method on the hierarchy.
The idea is to start at the top and go
down the list implementing the most ef-
fective method that is realistically possible.

The Pinkish Oat Cereal Bars
Prior to FSMA, Nationwide Agri-
business faced a claim situation involv-
ing a farmer who had delivered oats to
an elevator that then subsequently sold
it to a miller, where it was processed and
later sold to a cereal bar manufacturer.
A problem arose when the cereal bar
manufacturer found a hint of pink tint
in the processed product bought from
the miller. With some investigation,
however, it was determined that the
pink tint from treated seed was traceable
back to the elevator.
Usually, a milling operation or even
the elevator likely would have caught
this before being shipped to the other
end users, but it didnt happen.
The quality assurance personnel at
the cereal bar manufacturer spotted the
problem, but it was after the pinkish

While the policy didnt carry a de-

mal out-of-pocket cost to the elevator,
this case would present a much differ-
ent level of seriousness and cost to an
elevator in todays FSMA and Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) climate. Its
definitely a different ball game. (See the
graphic on p. 38.)
If this same situation were to happen
now, the FDA would have to be notified,
and it would investigate the root cause and
source of this adulterated oat product.
The FDA will want to know where
the oats came from and where all of
them were shipped. That also might
lead to a traceability recall.
So, the key question is, what program
is in place thats going to shut the opera-

an adulterated product doesnt get out

exposure? Today, an operation needs to
know where the material comes from,

Its also becoming increasingly impor-

Oxygen-deficient atmospheres may
exist in any hazardous space regardless
of whether it is subject to OSHAs Grain
Handling Standard 1910.272(g) or Per-
mit Required Confined Space Standard
1910.146. This article will discuss the
symptoms and common causes of oxy-
gen deficiency and the importance of
atmospheric monitoring when entering
hazardous spaces.
Oxygen Deficiency
The air we breathe contains approxi-
mately 20.9% oxygen, 78% nitrogen,
and smaller quantities of gases such as
argon and carbon dioxide.
The immediate effects of low-oxygen
environments can be traced to the bodys
oxygen transport system. Blood absorbs
oxygen from air in the lungs to fuel the
cells in the body. The body organ most
sensitive to lack of oxygen is the brain.
A person immediately will begin to
feel the health effects associated with
lack of oxygen with decreases of 1%
to 2%. Healthy individuals are unable

coordination when oxygen
levels are between 15% and Joe Mlynek
19%. When oxygen levels
are between 10% and 12%,
respiration increases, lips
turn blue, and judgment is
impaired. Fainting and un-
consciousness occur when
oxygen levels are between 8%
and 10%. Death can occur
within eight minutes, if the
oxygen level is between 6%
and 8%. These values may
vary based on several factors including
the persons health, the level of physical
activity, and the environment.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administrations (OSHA) Respiratory
Protection Standard 1910.134 defines
oxygen deficiency as an atmosphere
with an oxygen content below 19.5% by
volume. OSHAs Permit Required Con-
fined Space Entry Standard 1910.146
and Grain Handling Standard 1910.272
also recognize that an atmosphere with
less than 19.5% oxygen is
hazardous.
Many safety profession-
als agree that entry into any
hazardous space or other area
where oxygen deficiency may
exist requires oxygen levels to
be as close to normal as pos-
sible. For instance, an atmo-
spheric level of 20.5%, while
still acceptable to OSHA,
signals that there is issue that
needs to be investigated.
The Cause
A number of factors cause oxygen
deficiency. In general, oxygen deficiency
occurs when another gas displaces oxy-
gen in a poorly ventilated space. For
example, decomposition of organic

material or smoldering grain can con-
sume oxygen within a space. Grain that
is high in moisture or poor in quality
can result in elevated levels of carbon
dioxide. Carbon dioxide can displace
the oxygen within spaces such as grain
bins, silos, tanks, and even flat storage
buildings. Carbon dioxide is denser than
air. Therefore, it can accumulate in low-
lying areas adjacent to hazardous spaces.
Preventive Measures

smell an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

Inc., Goshen, IN, shares his thoughts
on temperature cables: steel tanks ranging from 20 to 90 feet in diameter
Always place the temperature cables
where the manufacturer of the roof has
designated to attach them. The actual
design load always has been in ques-
tion by the industry, because the cable
manufacturers have not generated load
testing of their cables. We go back to the
research that was done over 30 years ago.
In general, the loads on the cable
are greater as the bins get taller. We
would expect to see loads on farm bins
of about 800 to 1,000 pounds per ca-
ble. In tall commercial bins, we would
expect to see at least 2,000 pounds per
cable and some closer to 2,500 pounds.
In the tall commercial bins, we recom-
mend using nylon cables, because they
are less likely to have a coating failure
from exposure to high heat.

durable. Nylon always is recommended
for rice and other abrasive commodities
especially in tropical climates. Cable
strength and jacket material selections
should be guided by the factors described
earlier, as well as the frequency of bin
or silo filling and unloading.
We also are seeing more use of ex-
ternal roof temperature detection cable
access/service ports and external roof
conduits to avoid confined space bin
entry after the bin is in service.
Using some of the information sup-
plied by Scott Chant, I calculated the
type of roof loads a person might see
from the temperature cables alone.
The static loads easily can approach
10,000 to 11,000 pounds per bin when
using 11 temperature cables in a 60-foot-
diameter bin or 23,000 to 26,000 pounds
when using 24 temperature cables in a
105-foot-diameter bin. So that is five to
12 tons as a result of the static loads from
temperature cables alone.
Always install temperature cables
based on the bin manufacturers require-
ments. Dont attach cables to roofs where
they should not be connected.
Operating Practices
Rick Howell, project coordinator with
Boone Cable Works & Electronics, Boone,
IA, asserts that cable installation and man-
agement practices have more impact on roof
longevity than any given roof load number.
Freezing of the grain mass was a popular
practice for a time by some managers. This
practice can be disastrous to temperature
cables due to uneven and extreme forces.
Cable manufacturers rely heavily on
It is never appropriate to use cable
weights to stabilize the temperature
cable in corrugated steel tanks. Cables
should never be knotted or shortened by
doubling them up at the bottom. Cables
should only be attached to the floor of
the bin via a fusible tether that is strong
enough to hold the cable in place during
the fill process but weak enough to break
when lateral loads are applied, or when
it is engaged by the sweep unloader. A
monofilament line of only 110 to 120
pounds works quite well for this purpose.
History has taught us that our
2,000-pound tensile strength cable can
be used in most any commodity and,
under most conditions, up to about
51 feet of grain depth without failing.
Cables with a 4,200-pound tensile
strength can be used up to about 87
feet, and our 7,000-pound cable can
go to 128 feet in grain depth.
Dustin Paloranta, vice president
of Extron, Plymouth, MN, notes that
retrofitting older steel bins that havent
had temperature cables before presents
a special challenge to tank operators.
If the tank has never had cables,
youll need to consult with the manu-
facturer or an outside engineering firm
to help determine whether the roof has
the strength to support cables, he says.
Be sure to inspect the bin roof visually
for rust or other signs of age-related
damage over time.
Paloranta adds that modern tanks
are designed to accommodate a specific
number of cables depending on diameter.
For example, he says, a 90-foot
diameter tank typically is designed to
have 18 temperature cables. On an
older bin, you may have to reduce the
number of cables, maybe to six. That
may just give you a quick snapshot of
the condition of the grain, but a little
data is better than none.
Summary
Howell at Boone offers these recom-
mendations as summary:
1. Check with the manufacturer to be
sure that the roof of the storage structure
has been prepped properly and fitted with
all necessary factory stiffeners and attach-
ments in order to accept temperature cables.
2. Use only commercially-produced
temperature cables that have been sized
properly and designed for the storage
structures where they will be used.
3. Follow all installation instructions
provided by the bin manufacturer and
the cable manufacturer (quantity, place-
ment, and attachment) when installing
the temperature cables.
4. Observe the use of good loading and
unloading practices to ensure that even
tension loads are applied to the entire roof.
5. Use caution when unloading
grain that is bridge, frozen, crusted, or
otherwise in suspect condition.

cables that are to be supported by their 
roof systems. We also insist upon utiliz-
ing hanging supports designed by the
bin manufacturers themselves for their
specific load distribution requirements.
Under normal operations, all tem-

a similar and equal load on all parts of
the roof. Problems can occur when the
loads become unequal or concentrated
only on one section or side.

 Harvest Safety Checklist
ADDRESS THE SMALL ITEMS BEFORE THEY RESULT IN LENGTHY DOWNTIME
As you work through the harvest
season, now is the time to address
the small issues that can turn into big
problems.
Here are some ideas for a two-min-
ute safety talk to keep people focused
on getting the job done safely.
Magnets
Check magnets and receiving pit
grating, if you have them. Receiving
more loads means more tramp metal
showing up, so look at the grating and
magnets more frequently.
Lighting
With longer hours and working into
the night be sure that your lighting is ad-
equate.This means inside the elevator and
around the elevator yard. Make sure that
common walkways are well lit, and check
for blind spots in pedestrian traffic. With
the newer solar-powered LED lights that
are equipped with motion detectors, you
can improve lighting in outlying areas. Be
sure that any lighting inside the elevator is
approved for Class II, G locations.

Smoking Policy
Be sure that your smoking

You also may want to stock up
on brooms and shovels. These
are inexpensive yet essential
items. Make sure that you have
non-ferrous, non-sparking tools
and scoop shovels.
Lubrication
Increased harvest traffic
means that equipment will
need to be lubricated more
frequently. You may have to
increase oiling and replenish
the oil bath drip pans for
chain drives.
Machine Guarding
Speaking of drives, make sure that
guards are in place on drive belts, chains,
and nip points. Resist the temptation to
procrastinate. Be sure to finish the job
by making sure that the guards are on
and secured.
Tools
Do you have the right tools on hand
to address a breakdown? A wise millwright
told me to never buy just one sheer pin. Do
you have what you need in the storeroom?
Dust Collection
Check on the dust collection system.
Are the pickup points for dust collection
adjusted, and are the blast gates properly
set? Look for wear on the ductwork, and
patch or repair as needed.
PPE
Do you have enough dust masks,
work gloves, and hardhat liners? How
about flashlights and batteries? Are your
fire extinguishers charged, and are they
hung in the correct place?

tion of Ben Alsups murder, Gil tracks
down brother Gary Alsup, an elevator
manager himself, to the Town Hall Tap
in downtown Monrovia. Gary has been
drinking heavily, and he insinuates that
Gils merchandiser, Kate Swenson, had
a motive to kill Ben.
What do you mean about my mer-
chandiser? Gil asked.
I mean you should be talking to her
about Ben, not me, Gary said.
What do you know about Kate?
Gil asked, more insistently.
Never mind what I know. Go talk
to her, Gary responded.

Gil grabbed the elevator manager
by the collar. You just insinuated that
my merchandiser is a murderer. You
can tell me what you know right here,
or Ill drag you out into the alley and
make you tell me there.
Gil heard a man clearing his throat behind
him. It was Red Calloway, the big guy tower-

something wrong, gentlemen?

Mr. Meier will be leaving shortly.
So will you, Red replied. Im cut-
ting you off. Youre clearly intoxicated,
and I cant legally serve you any more
alcohol. Actually, I cant make you leave,
but if you want to drink anything else,
it will be water or soft drinks.
As for you, Gil, I dont know what
this man said to you, but you need to
calm down. This isnt like you...and its
also not like you not to buy a drink from
this respectable establishment. Im not
running a chapel here.
Sorry, Red, Gil said and ordered a
beer on tap. He wasnt expecting

to drink much of it.
OK, just so we have an understanding.
Red moved off toward the other end
of the bar, and Gil turned back to Gary.
Gary was struggling to make himself
sober, without a lot of success. OK,
he said. Some years ago, back when
your merchandiser, Kate, was still in
high school, she supposedly went over
to Bens farm, and he raped her.
Gil paused to let that sink in. Where
did you hear that, and why should I
believe you?
I dont have any way to make you be-
lieve me. I mean, you still dont believe me
about your stored rye, Gary said. But I
got it from the best possible source...Ben.
Why would Ben tell you something
like that?
How should I know? Gary re-
sponded. Maybe he figured that he
was such a recluse that no one would
bother him about it.
How did he come to tell you that?
Gil asked.
At first, it was just a rumor. I live in
Storm Lake, but I do keep a couple of

_________________________
sources up here, since all of the family is
here except Kenny, and Bob heads up a
potentially competitive business, Gary
related. So I heard this rumor, and it
was so alarming, that I actually drove up
here to confront Ben about it.
And he even let you in the house?
Gil asked.
Not at first, Gary continued. But I
kept pounding on the door, and I know
he recognized my voice, so he came to
the door with a shotgun in his hands
and told me to go away, or hed put one
between my eyebrows. I told him he
wouldnt shoot his brother.
So he finally opened the door and let
me in and told me to be quick about it.
He was drunk, several sheets to the wind
more than I am now. Ben brewed his
own beer, though he never let me try it.
Stick to the subject, Gil said.
Right. He said if I werent his brother,
I might end up like the last visitor. It was
Kate. I guess she came around selling
magazine subscriptions or something,
and he was so annoyed that he dragged
her inside and raped her then and there.
Then he stuffed her in his pickup and
dropped her off in a cornfield a few miles
away. It was almost like he was bragging
about it. So I left in disgust. Maybe he
was just trying to get rid of me.
So why didnt you go to the police?
Gil asked.
Believe me, I considered it, Gary
replied. But you know how it is. Blood
is thicker than water. Hes family.
Some family, Gil commented. So
you didnt tell anyone else? Not even Bob?
He would have done the right thing.
Bob and I arent speaking, Gary
said. Have you forgotten?

Highline Grain hasnt been around that
much longer, having been formed in 2014
as a consortium of four grain handlers for
the purpose of building and operating a
new rail terminal for eastern Washington:
Central Washington Grain Grow-
ers, Waterville, WA.
AlmiraFarmersWarehouse,Almira,WA.
Davenport Union Warehouse,
Davenport, WA.
Ag Ventures LLC, Harrington, WA.
After pooling their resources, the con-
sortium members erected a 2.1-million-
bushel slipform concrete and steel rail
terminal at a site within view of Interstate
90 west of Spokane. The terminal is on the
Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad, a
short-line with connections to the BNSF.
The terminal was built for an undisclosed
sum by Vigen Construction Inc., East
Grand Forks, MN (218-773-1159).
We interviewed four companies and
did site visits to their projects, says COO
Keith Bailey, who started with Odessa
Union Warehouse in 1998 and stayed
when it became part of Ag Ventures.
Vigen emerged as the choice for us.
Construction began in November 2014.
Permitting delays held things up for part
of the process, so the terminal was a little
under a month from completion, when
Grain Journal visited late in June 2016.
Nevertheless, by that point, the facility
was already receiving grain and had loaded
10 shuttle trains and unloaded two shuttles.
Grain Storage
Upright storage at Cheney in-
cludes a slipform concrete eight pack
of 108,000-bushel silows with a
550,000-bushel slipform tank plus four in-
terstice and three concrete overhead bins.
It also includes a single 557,000-bushel
Scafco corrugated steel tank.
The big tank in the concrete house
is 80 feet in diameter and 140 feet tall.
The flat bottom tank is equipped with
a 16-inch Springland sweep auger and
four AIRLANCO 40-hp centrifugal
fans delivering 1/7 cfm per bushel of
aeration through in-floor ducting.
Wiley notes that these tanks, as well
as all of the others at Cheney, are outfit-
ted with Monitor Technologies high-

measurement sensors, but none have

Incoming grain trucks are weighed on
a 120-foot Rice Lake pitless inbound/
outbound scale under the operation
of an RFID-driven Kahler automation
system. From there, drivers proceed to
an InterSystems truck probe adjacent to
the facilitys two-story office building.
Inside, samples are tested and graded
using a DICKEY-John GAC 2100 mois-
ture meter, Perten Infratech whole grain
analyzer, and Carter Day dockage tester.
Trucks are directed to one of two en-
closed truck receiving pits, one of which
also doubles as a second rail receiving
pit. The two rail pits are equipped with
a Calbrandt railcar opener on its own
parallel rail featuring a 180-degree swivel
head for servicing railcars on both tracks.
The pits also are equipped with a Bhler
aspiration wall, which Bailey says is the first
to be installed in North America. Dust is
kept inside the pits with a set of baffles,
while a powerful air stream pulls dust into
a set of bag filters housed inside the wall.

arge-loading terminals usually are built
as close to the river bank as feasible.
Limiting the distance from the elevator
to the loadout spout also can minimize costs
and potential damage to grain.

The West Memphis facility,which
was slated to begin receiving grain Sept.
1, is much smaller than Ama, of course,
but it also has a different function as a
delivery point for crops grown around
the mid-Delta region.

Terminal Description
The four main slipform concrete
tanks stand 32 feet in diameter and
140 feet tall. They are outfitted with
45-degree steel hopper bottoms elimi-
nating the need for workers to enter the
tanks to empty them. All are equipped
with BinMaster capacitance probe level
indicators.
The two dry-grain storage tanks
are outfitted with three-cable Rolfes@
Boone grain temperature monitoring
systems. Each tank has a 50-hp AIR-
LANCO centrifugal fan with silencer
that provides 1/7 cfm per bushel of
aeration with the assistance two 2-hp
roof exhausters.
The two wet tanks have no tempera-
ture monitoring or aeration, since the
grain they hold will proceed directly
to the dryer.
The Chief tanks stands 90 feet in diam-
eter, 88 feet tall at the eave, and 114 feet
tall at the peak. The flat bottom tank has
outside stiffeners, a 16-inch GSI Series II
sweep auger, 18-cable Rolfes@Boone grain
temperature monitoring system, and Bin-
Master capacitance probe level monitors.
A set of four 40-hp Caldwell centrifugal
fans provide 1/10 cfm per bushel of aera-
tion through in-floor ducting.

Cooperative Supply Inc. operates three
large flat storage buildings at its elevator in
Dodge, NE, and one of them, a 2-million-
bushel structure dedicated to soybeans, has
been a particular bottleneck, especially during
fall harvest. With a receiving capacity of only
5,000 bph via an overhead drag conveyor,
the flat storage sometimes caused trucks to
back up and limited the amount of beans the
facility could handle.
With the increasing size of farm equip-
ment, we couldnt keep up,
says General Manager Dan
Forey who has been with
Cooperative Supply for three
years. (Prior to joining the
coop, Forey worked in various
grain industry positions in his
native Iowa.)
In 2015, Forey sat down
with EBM Construction
Inc., Norfolk, NE (800-356-
9782), to come up with a way
to speed up throughput into
and out of the flat storage.
EBM has always done all of
our millwright work, he says. Dan Forey
EBM came up with a novel solution; rather
than rebuild the flat storage or replace its
equipment, why not build an annex adjacent
to the flat storage that can handle soybeans at
a much higher speed? Instead of backing up at
the flat storage, trucks can deliver grain to or
receive grain from the annex, which also can
serve as a gateway for filling the flat storage.
The $3.2 million project consisted of a
single, roughly 350,000-bushel Hoffmann
jumpform concrete silo with two mechanical
receiving pits and a 20,000-bph
Schlagel leg. Construction
began early in March 2015,
as soon as the weather would
allow, and was completed in
August, in time for fall harvest.
In addition to EBM, Otte

did excavation work.
Project Specifications
The new Hoffmann silo

76 GJ S/O
stands 66 feet in diameter and 140 feet
tall. The flat-bottom silo is equipped
with a 9-inch Springland sweep auger
capable of unloading grain at 5,000 bph
and a BinMaster level indicator. How-
ever, since the silo is acting essentially as
a huge surge bin for the adjacent flat
storage, no grain temperature monitor-
ing cables were needed, Forey says.
The silo does have aeration, however,
in the form of four Caldwell 40-hp cen-
trifugal fans that deliver approximately
1/10 cfm per bushel of air through in-
floor ducting.
In addition, the silo is outfitted with
a Warrior switchback staircase mounted
directly to the concrete for improved
worker safety, since the annex is not
equipped with a manlift at this point.
Incoming truckers proceed to one
of two receiving pits enclosed in a steel
structure. Each 500-bushel mechani-
cal pits feeds into a single freestanding
20,000-bph Schlagel, which is attached
directly to the concrete silo. The leg is
equipped with a single row of Maxi-
Lift 20x8 Tiger-Tuff orange buckets
mounted on a 22-inch belt.
Head section of the new 20,000-bph
Schlagel receiving leg from which grain
can go to the new concrete storage silo.
We alternate which pit is receiving
grain, explains Forey. That keeps the
truck lines shorter, and the leg operates
without interruption.
At the top, a spout can send grain via a
20,000-bph Schlagel drag conveyor into
the silo. The silo sidedraws via gravity
onto the fill conveyor in the flat storage.
The silo empties onto an above-
ground 5,000-bph Schlagel drag con-
veyor, which in turn, ends at a loadout
spout for loading trucks. Trucks also
can utilize a sidedraw out into a receiv-
ing lane.
Results
As of late September 2016, the
Dodge grain facility had gone through
one complete fall harvest with the new
annex and was starting on its second.
It takes us about three minutes to
unload a semi-truck, says Forey. Just Ground-level view of the new annex with

t approximately 7:30 p.m. on July
16, 2015, a tornado ripped through
Cameron, IL, a small town 11 miles
southwest of Galesburg, IL.
Amongst the destruction in the middle
of town was Cameron Grain Corp.s nearly
50-year-old grain elevator. We lost just about
everything, says Assistant Manager Jake
Armstrong, whose family has been involved in
ownership of the company since its inception.
The tornado destroyed 15 tanks, five
legs, two dryers, and two dump pits thats
everything but our flat storage building and
one pit, he says.
What really hurt, according to Owner Steve
Armstrong, was the timing of the storm. We
basically werent able to participate in harvest
last year, which was tough.
After the Storm
First, we had to get everything cleaned
up, and we had to get on the phone with our

Triangle has been excellent to work with.
They took care of us throughout the entire pro-
cess and relieved some of the burden, so we were
able to move forward with rebuilding he says.
The Armstrongs decided to rebuild on
property they owned at the southeast corner
of town. There is more room out here, and
I think the people living in town appreciate
that there will be less noise and traffic, says
Armstrong, We think it makes everyone in
the community a lot happier.
In the fall of 2015, the company took bids
from contractors and chose Grain Flo, Inc.,

This type of track requires less ballast,
and gauge problems are eliminated,
because the tie is stapled directly to the
rail, he says.
The fertilizer plant was the first
part of the facility to be built, with
construction starting in August 2014
and finishing in March 2015. That
month, work began on the grain
elevator, which went operational in
May 2016.
Two Rows of Tanks
Storage at Pillsbury consists of two
east-west rows of steel tanks: six GSI
72-foot-diameter flat-bottom cor-
rugated steel tanks holding 300,000
bushels of dry grain each, and six GSI
21,000-bushel hopper tanks for wet
storage or segregation.
The big tanks stand 80 feet tall at
the eaves and come equipped with

The hopper tanks stand 24 feet in
diameter and 62 feet tall at the eaves,
with 45-degree steel hoppers. Because
they are intended for short-term stor-
age, they each are equipped with 10-hp
GSI axial fans but no grain temperature
monitoring.
One-Way Routing
Truck traffic through the facility
is routed on a single one-way path
for fast receiving and to avoid truck
lines as much as possible utilizing

Incoming trucks are routed past
an InterSystems truck probe adjacent

 OLD TIME ELEVATOR

The Last Scottish Coop Elevator

MANITOBA FARM FAMILY MOVED ABANDONED ELEVATOR ONTO THEIR FARM

by Barbara Krupp Selyem

Glass, MB, Canada was a water stop

for steam engines traveling between
Winnipeg and Elma, MB on a 1907 rail
line that became part of the Canadian
National Railroad (CN) in 1923. Today,
there are three homes at Glass and one
business. It never has been a large com-
munity, but at one time, it did have a
grain elevator.
In 1938, the Scottish Coopera-
tive Wholesale Society Ltd. built a
30,000-bushel crib elevator at Glass.
This cooperative was founded in
Glasgow, Scotland on Sept. 8, 1868 to
purchase and manufacture goods to sup-
ply to local retail cooperatives. Around
the turn of the 20th century, the society
expanded into Canada and acquired
grain elevators and timber companies
to supply raw materials for its milling
and manufacturing operations. At its
peak in 1923, the cooperative had 19
elevators in Canada.
Scottish Cooperative sold its eleva-
tors to the Manitoba Wheat Pool in
1973, and in December of that year,
the Pool closed the Glass facility. It sold
both the elevator and the managers
house to Sarah and John Vaags who
were raising cattle on their farm near
Dugald, MB.
The Vaags daughter was newly mar-
ried, and she lived in the house for a
couple of years before selling it. John
Vaags used the elevator on its original
site to store grain for feed. The $5,300
price tag was a good deal, at least for
a while.
Then the CN demanded that the
Vaags move the elevator or tear it down.
They chose to move it.

This 1938 elevator, formerly owned by the Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society Learning on the Job
Ltd. in Glass, MB, spent its final years as part of the Vaags family farm. The elevator Moving the elevator was very expen-

tion and planning. Since the elevator
was to be moved across a highway, the
Vaags had to secure permission from
the various farmers whose property they
would cross and from the highway de-
partment. They had to have ditches filled
and power lines moved. And the Vaags
had to have a foundation
for their new elevator at
their farm.
MANITOBA
They hired Frank
Dueck & Sons to
make the move in
February 1979, when
Glass  the ground was frozen. The
contractor had nearly 30
years of experience moving
buildings, but Glass was the first elevator.
This move presented unique challenges.
The Duecks mounted the elevator
on skids rather than on wheels. Since
the skids could freeze to the ground,
_________________________

Vaags move the elevator or tear

_________________________
they had to be careful not to stop, as
they pushed and pulled the elevator to
its new site.
They moved the elevator in an up-
right position, so it was too tall to pass
under electrical wires. The wires had to
be passed under the elevator.
And so as not to damage the pave-
ment, the Duecks laid tires across the
highway and plywood on top of the
tires. They soaped the plywood to make
it slippery and then slid the elevator
across the top of the plywood to the
other side of the road.
Calvin Vaags, John and Sarahs son
who still lives on the family farm, was
14 when his parents had the elevator
moved. It was a big deal at the time
and impressive to watch, he says.
Originally, the motor for the leg was
under the work mezzanine, and it was
equipped with hemp ropes that turned
pulleys to power the leg. The ropes had
counterweights to help keep them taut,
but they still broke often and had to be
repaired. Eventually, we installed a motor
directly connected to the shaft on the
head pulley and a new belt and cups.
Eventually, the elevator wore out, and
many of the storage bins were unusable. Other Scottish Cooperative elevators

storage this fall, consider the following
guidelines to help prepare for the fall.
1 Check with your local state
licensing agency. Some states regulate
the type of storage, the length of time
the space can be used, if covers are
required, fans, etc. In most cases, the
grains stored in temporary structures
must be company-owned stocks. If you
are federally licensed, the same applies.
2 Check with local and state ju-
risdictions on any needed permits.
This could range from local building
permits to environmental issues such as
noise, dust, water, odors, and rodents.
3 Make sure you have a plan to
secure the inventory. This is especially
important, if the site is not part of your
regular facility, is remote, or is within
a warehouse district that could require
additional security measures. Think of
the potential for rodent, deer, or rac-
coon problems. These locations are the
perfect places to eat for some animals.
4 Measure and calculate the in-
ventory in the structure. At some
point, you will need this information.
If you were able to weigh all of your
grain prior to storage, it is still a good
idea to calculate the actual inventory.
There are several great Microsoft Excel
programs that have been developed.
Contact me for details on those.
5 Track your associated costs.
At some point, someone is going to
ask you how much all this costs. Be
proactive, and have that at hand. (See
Figure 2 on page 94 for a snapshot of a
file developed for those purposes.)

for workers. If you are installing fences
to increase the capacity of the pile,
that also may be a consideration.
Fences and similar retaining walls
that are not structurally sound or
have not been installed properly can
pose a risk to personnel and other
assets. Free-flowing grain exerts
tremendous pressure and has lead to
many cases of failed walls, buildings,
and structures that were designed or
installed poorly.
Please remember, while piles and
similar structures typically are not
thought of with regards to entrapment
and engulfment, they do possess
many, if not all, of the same dangers.
In fact, these hazards can be even more
dangerous in certain situations.

10 Invest in a form of carbon
dioxide (CO2) monitoring. Using a
handheld monitor, sample fan exhaust
weekly for CO2 and temperature data.
This can give an early indication of
biological activity.
11 Have a marketing plan.
Someone within your organization
needs to have a plan for marketing your
grain in temporary storage. Having a
plan of when and how could make the
difference between a successful storage
experience and a regrettable one.
12 Have a plan to track shrink.
Piles and temporary structures can be
fraught with hidden shrinks; over-
aeration is only one of them. Additional
handling shrinks are involved with
using a portable conveyor, trucks, or
wagons. While these may seem small,
they easily could add up to 1-3%
(excluding aeration shrink).
Quality degradation is another form
of shrink. A commonly accepted for-
mula for quality degradation is: 0.5%
shrink for each 3% of damage increase
in corn. So corn averaging 1% damage
going out and reclaimed at 7% would
result in about a 2% loss of weight.
13 Dont build emergency
storage without a thorough plan.
It takes time to secure tarps, prepare a
suitable surface, etc. Make sure you have
the ability to handle the extra bushels in
a timely manner. If uncovered, weather
very quickly can create havoc, leaving a
grain quality problem that could last for
months or even years in extreme cases.
Remember, many other facilities will
be in similar situations, and the market
can only handle so much, so having
a plan in place can keep you and your
company in the drivers seat.

Skill Set
Inventory
MAKING SURE ALL OF YOUR
OPERATIONS TASKS ARE
COVERED
A few years back, we had a location leader
leave for other opportunities. I needed to
act as interim location leader until I could
find a replacement. One of the first things
I discovered was that I had just inherited
16 employees, and I didnt have a clue as
to what each one had for skill sets.
I sat down with my computer and cre-
ated a Location Skill Set Inventory (see p.
97) with all of the tasks across the top that
were necessary for this location to func-
tion well. I then put all of the employees
names down the left side.
Once this was completed, I spoke
Response No. 961

with each employee indi- MANAGEMENT that employee did not under-
vidually, so that I could
understand their training and Bill Lyster
skill set. If and employee said
they could operate the dryer,
I would ask more detailed
questions to determine their
level of expertise. If the em-
ployee could fulfill the task,
that person received a check
in the corresponding box.
It was an interesting pro-
cess, not only getting to know
each teammate individually, but also
assessing where each task had depth,
and which tasks had a very weak bench.
Now I had a means to have people do-
ing tasks that they were comfortable with
and also to determine a plan to increase
their value to the company.
Training Outline
The next step is to create a very
detailed training outline for each task.
Look to see if you have covered all of the
steps and that you also have addressed
the safety component. Numerous times
an individual has been injured, because
stand the dangers associated
with this task.
One suggestion is to have
employees recap to you ex-
actly what they believe they
heard you say. You may be
surprised how often you did
not do a great job in convey-
ing your expectations. The
more time you put into the
plan in the beginning, the
better results you will see.
Another value of the inventory is that
when the time comes for performance
reviews, you can show them areas where
you need depth in the bench. Ask them if
they are willing to learn a certain skill set.
Ask them if they are willing to act as mentor
to help someone else learn a skill set. Make

sure and set a date for a followup meeting
to determine how the progress is going.
This inventory also may help you
justify why you compensate one indi-
vidual more than another. It will help
them understand that in order to receive
a higher compensation, they need to
increase their value.
When a teammate leaves the company
or is assigned to another location, you can
determine easily the skill sets that were lost.
I truly believe that our teammates
want to do a good job. I feel they are
uncomfortable when they cannot fill a
customers needs, because they dont have
the proper training.
Take the time to help them under-
stand how they bring value to the job.
Help them take pride in their abilities.
Help them become great employees.

Where Will I Find Employees?
LOOKING AT SOMEONE YOU MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE CONSIDER
The headline above is the MANAGEMENT as usually during harvest, the
question that I constantly
hear, as I work with clients.
I also hear that Millennials
dont want to work as hard
as we did. While that may
or may not be true, the fact
is that we will be challenged,
to find enough quality people
to work for our companies.
One obvious solution is to
automate your facility so it
will require less people.
Another is to provide fewer services as
we strive to meet our customers needs.
One example would be to let customers
dump grain themselves. I have a hard
time wrapping my head around this one,

drivers of the vehicles are the
Bill Lyster farmers wives and parents.
How does this lend itself to
a great customer experience,
if this is the route that you
choose?
There is one more possible
solution that I believe we tend
to overlook.
I traveled to Montana in
mid-July and was given to the
opportunity to tour a farm sup-
ply business called North 40 Outfitters.
The owner, Wayne, was giving me a
tour and made a point of introducing
me to a number of employees. Each time
he would take a moment and explain
Response No. 981
to me the role they played, along with
something special about each one. You
could tell that they loved working for
this man and the company. This surely
must help with employee retention.
Unusual Employee
One such employee that I met was
Rich. Wayne explained how Richs wife
had come up to him one day and said
that her husband needed a job. She then
went on to say that he was legally blind.
Wayne thought about it for a minute and
said that she should have him come to the
store, and they would explore and see if
there was a possibility. After meeting Rich,
Wayne noticed that even though he was
legally blind he did have enough sight to
function in the store. Wayne started him
out in the pet food department.
Rich had to memorize the tags and
labels. He had to memorize the feel and
size of the different bags and containers.
He had to memorize the location of all
of the different products. He also chose
to memorize the customers voices, their
names, and the names of their pets.
Sixteen years later, Rich is in charge of
this department and the customers love the
experience of buying their products from
him. Rich has made the customer service
experience a valuable part of their business.
I complimented Rich on his accom-
plishments. He replied quickly that many
people dwell on what they cant do. He
focuses on what he can do. I wish we could
transfer that mindset to many others.
Wayne very easily could have dismissed
the possibility that this person could fulfill
a valuable role within his company. How
often have we not taken the time to truly
discover what folks with either physical
or mental challenges could do for our
company? As you sit there today, I suggest
that you may not be looking in all of the
places to find those team mates that will
help your company succeed.

warm and wet producing damaging hot
spots for diplopia. These conditions
are ripe for other toxin producing
molds, as well.
Long-term storage may be com-
promised by these conditions/
damage, so plan on coring early
and often and watch for unstable
grain. Urge farmers to do the same.

Fall Corn and Bean Basis is Cheap

Corn: If merchants can come out of harvest owning basis
and carry it, merchandising returns of 35-40 cents per bushel
gross can be achieved.
Farmers have not been willing sellers and are utilizing
storage and delayed price services at the elevator. It is crucial
to have fall policies and service charges to match the value
and risk of the cash markets. Many elevators are not taking
appropriate bid margins and undervalue their services, which
is not financially defendable in todays cost structures.
In the next several weeks, you will want to get futures
carries locked in on ownership. Futures carries are bullish
for December/January/February basis and bearish for post-
harvest freight.
Beans: Own/hedge it, if you can put it away. Decem-
ber/January export basis is firm and should be sold river
and rail. For those not tributary to the export market,
carries have developed in bean futures, and you should
roll hedges to the January, March, or May to gain time
to merchandise basis.

Producer Financial Environment

Three years of declining commodity prices likely will result
in increased incidences of farm bankruptcies. Lean hog and
cattle margins are stressed, too. Many of your younger em-
ployees have not experienced these challenges in their careers.
Training employees on policies and processes for identifying
and dealing with AR challenges is warranted.

Strategies
BASIS AND SPREADS INDICATE
OPPORTUNITY TO CARRY WHEAT
Postharvest, the hard wheat market WHEAT
saw a massive liquidation of invento- MERCHANDISING
ries, as the Plains elevators tried to make Kyle Smith
space for a huge fall crop. This was in
spite of the cash market paying some of
the cheapest basis levels we have seen in
decades and the futures paying 90% or
more of full delivery carry. The export
market stayed relatively firm because
of high carry values and improving de-
mand. Because of these cheap prices and
ocean freight, we are becoming more
competitive in the world markets.
Millers had weeks of bargain hunt-
ing and built stores of good-quality
wheat at the protein values they wanted. This left them set
for several months, but they have been selling lots of flour
and are grinding slowly through those inventories forcing
them back to the market. Replacement cost of higher-pro-
tein wheat is going up defiantly.
The lower-quality wheat has been finding its way into
the feed channels. The USDA is looking for an almost
150% increase in wheat feeding, and we believe feeders
will meet that projection. This has eliminated much of this
years low-protein wheat.

Opportunity for Carry

Many elevators are getting close to handling the fall crop,
and these basis levels and spreads are offering a great oppor-
tunity to carry wheat. The big question is: Will the farmer
will be a seller at these relatively cheap values enabling the
elevator to replace inventories?
Continue offering minimum price cash contracts to your
producers. By selling their grain and buying a call, they es-
tablish a floor while leaving upside potential, if it occurs.
This contract will give the producer most of his money up
front in a limited down-side risk scenario lowering his cost
and flat price exposure, if the market rallies. Due to the low
volatility, the cost of calls are relatively cheap.

Whats Hot
We are having fantastic success with
our Roadmap To HazMon Safety
program and its intent to live up to our
company mission of protecting human
life and property through excellent cus-
tomer support in the form of product
training and education. Our aim to
reach as many installers and users of
our systems and help them get the best
utility possible from our products.
Grain and Feed Industry Trends
We are seeing significant downturn
and also a shift in focus for investments
in the grain industry. With recent record
harvests and corn sitting at a low price per
bushel, many farmers and storage facili-
ties are holding on to the product longer
in the hope of an increase in value in the
coming year. This is shifting investment
away from grain-moving machinery and
into grain storage and management prod-
ucts. Many in the industry are jumping
in and trying to leverage this situation.
Biggest Challenge
We face the perennial challenge asso-
ciated with most businesses sustainable
growth. We are always looking to enter
new markets and develop new or modify

selling our system and walking away
leaving the customer holding a pile of
parts. We always attempt to provide
training and education to our business
partners and customers on how to get
the best utility from our technology.

Keys to Company Success

We listen to our channel partners,
installers, and very importantly, to the
end users of our products. We try to be
responsible and responsive to their needs.
We give back to the industry. Our
founder Doug Forst, serves on the
GEAPS Continuing Education Program
Oversight Committee and has written
several GEAPS electrical safety courses.
We are passionate about the industry in
which we live and operate daily.
We differentiate and lead. We were
the first to offer fully-packaged, easily-
integrated, and expandable HazMon
systems for the machines typically
used in the grain industry through our
HazMon-In-A-Box kits. We con-
stantly search for ways to make our
systems straightforward to install and
maintain, all while delivering a low cost
of ownership. We offer comprehensive
training to the users of our systems to
make sure they get the maximum utility
from our systems and can help develop
a culture of safety at their place of work.

Recent Company Highlights

Within the last 12 months we
launched our Field Services Division, and
we are having a great measure of success
in providing comprehensive inspection
and training services to our customers in
the field. We work closely with our chan-
nel partners to try to ensure quality and
consistent installations and with our end
users to ensure they get the utmost utility
from our industry-leading systems.

day while sitting out on the farm talking
with one of his early mentors, Kenneth
Ziegler, who at the time was president
of a local cooperative board of directors,
Zeigler convinced Roger that there could
be a good future for him in the grain
industry and there was soon to be a job
opening at Stonington Cooperative

From that conversation out on the
farm, I made the decision that I wasnt
going to college, and I applied for and
got the job at the local coop, Dowdy
remembers. and as it turned out, and
as Mr. Zeigler predicted, it worked out
very well for me.

The GEAPS Years

About midway through his career in

active role he played in the organization
and the contacts he was able to make

The more time Bratney spent at the drawing board, the
less time he was out in front of people selling, so he hired a
person to handle that role. But that opened up yet another
dilemma. Once the equipment is designed in, it has to be
installed. So Bratney soon hired a construction foreman and

to Ewald.
So, that brought value to the customers in that they

We start with that end of it: what can we bring to this
customer that is used in other industries, but traditionally
is not being used in the grain industry? So we look at our
ability to clean. Weve got lines of equipment that clean and

Bomill grain quality separator that actu-
ally looks inside the kernels of grain to
find premium or high-protein kernels.
It can analyze kernels of grain and
categorize them by protein content,
Ewald says. Its got the ability to take
out mycotoxins like DON (vomitoxin).
Those are things that the grain industry
struggles with sometimes, either how
to make those separations, or how to
take advantage of the premiums that are
available by being able to do that. That

MEGA DRYERS
A GLOBAL LEADER IN GRAIN DRYING EQUIPMENT FOR 20 YEARS

T
he economic recession of the
early 2000s affected nearly every
industry worldwide, including
grain. In Argentina, for example, economic
collapse forced many companies to close
and workers to lose their jobs, while
government-imposed restrictions reduced
the countrys cash flow to virtually zero.
In response to the economic hard-
ship, forward-thinking organizations
like Argentine grain dryer manufacturer
MEGA Dryers, together with other
companies in the region, took a risk by
developing a sales strategy based on the
trade of goods rather than currency value
to keep operations running.
We started selling grain dryers and
received bulk grain as a form of payment, Co-owners, Engineers Marcelo Lombardo (left) and Marcelo Valfiorani (right).

20 Years in Grain Drying
The companys business model is di-
vided into three distinct business units,
including grain dryers, gas service, and
renewable energy. For the past 20 years,
MEGA ENGINEERING has been dedi-
cated to the development of grain dryers
companys units are designed to condition
grain and seed under optimal conditions
for long-term safe storage while preserv-
ing the quality and optimal biological
conditions of the kernels.
Nowadays, seed producers around the
world choose MEGA dryers as a reliable
drying system for their ability to preserve
the vigor and the germination power
of their seeds, says Co-owner Marcelo
Lombardo. MEGA dryers are also a
preferred choice among rice processing
and drying facilities for its excellent
drying quality and, consequently, superior
milling performance with both paddy rice
and parboiled rice, he adds.
MEGAs niche is in the agri-industrial
market, and its expertise comprises a large
variety of grain operations, including:

What separates MEGA from others in the market is its

The companys engineering team continually conducts

value to its products, he says.
Our approach is to be the drying specialists, since
we consider ourselves to have the most advanced
technology in grain drying, Co-owner Marcelo
Valfiorani says.
To that point, the companys innovative use of
technology also has enabled it to develop renewable
energy equipment that can be used in any commodity
by utilizing agricultural or industrial waste such as rice
hulls, corn husks, and woodchips.
Value Added Equals Growth
MEGA is committed to customer satisfaction, and
it encourages all of its employees to work with honesty
and teamwork, according to Lombardo. This culture is
reflected in the companys mission not only to design
and manufacture high-quality products but also to
care for the environment and create added value for

and the company itself.

strengthen our presence in Latin America, seize the
opportunity that is available to us with the Mercosur Trade

Mitch Dawson Interview
COUNTRY ELEVATOR COMMITTEE ACTS AS A SOUNDING BOARD FOR CONGRESS, PUBLIC

Mitch Dawson, director of grain
operations for MFA Inc., Columbia,
MO (573-676-5462), currently
serves as chair of the National Grain
and Feed Associations (NGFA)
Country Elevator Committee.
His committee deals with a
variety of issues of importance to the
thousands of small country elevators
that make up the grain handling
infrastructure of the United States.
It also sponsors an annual Country
Elevator Conference, which in 2016 is
scheduled for Dec. 11-13 at the Marriott
Magnificent Mile in Chicago, IL (see
page 136). The committee is scheduled to
meet at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11, at the
conference, and that meeting
is open to all attendees.
Dawson has worked in
the grain industry for 36
years having held positions in
Illinois, Tennessee, Georgia,
Arkansas, and Iowa, before
starting his present position
with MFA in 2011. His
resume includes grain and
feed processing, cottonseed
export sales, positions with
both private firms and
cooperatives, and some time
in business for himself helping to establish function of the Country Elevator
ethanol plants.
At NGFA, Dawson
the Country Elevator
Committee four years ago
and has been a member
of the NGFA Board of
Directors for two years.
He is in his first year as
committee chair.

operations managers, and risk managers
who are fairly new to our industry. For the
last two years, weve held breakout sessions
led by key people in the industry focusing
on the grain merchandising situation and
other issues that we face.
The idea is to show people in our
industry, especially the younger people
who have been around maybe five, 10,
or 15 years, what a career path looks
like, what youll encounter, what youre
facing now, and whats coming.
We also put on a reception Monday
night at the conference aimed at the next
generation of grain industry professionals.
Its an opportunity for them to meet with
their counterparts in other companies and
make connections that could serve them
for their entire careers.
Current Issues
The conference aside, our function as
a committee is to serve as a guide to the
association as to what we are facing out in the
country. How can we explain, specifically
to the NGFA officers and staff, what were
facing out in the real world? What policies
do we need? What do we need to tell the
government agencies that regulate us?
Biotechnology. One area where
weve very active is in developments
in biotechnology. Over the last year,
weve been involved largely with
the writing of a law for labeling
GMOs in consumer products. Weve
served as a sounding board for our
congressional representatives, made visits
to our representatives and senators, and
explained what the various aspects of
labeling will mean to our industry.
Trade issues. Right now, were
focusing on the proposed Trans Pacific
Partnership (TPP) agreement and what
that means to U.S. agriculture.

Hardhat Flashlight Clips

KC Supply Co. Kansas City, MO 800-527-8775 www.kcsupply.com
In June, KC Supply Co. introduced
the Double Down hardhat flashlight
hold-down clips.
A permanent adhesive holds the clips
so flashlight bands are held securely,
yet flashlight can be removed safely
and easily.
According to Owner Jeff Lavery, the
flashlight band often slides up the sides
of the hardhat, so people sometimes use
zip ties to hold the flashlight. But the
ties need to be cut off in order to remove
the flashlight, and this can result in a
cut band or worse, cut fingers.
Easy Installation
The easy-to-install clips feature a
special adhesive that sets in 12 hours
more drilling holes for screws that com-
promise the hardhats structural integrity
and voids the warranty. This allows the
user to stop using zip ties and box cut-
ters to remove them. This permanent
adhesive is safe and effective.
Features
Clip holds band securely against
hardhat.
Enables easy, hands-free lighting.

Ground Pile Air Intake System

JMI Covers, LLC Ponchatoula, LA 985-386-6000 www.JMICovers.com
In 2015, JMI Covers, LLC
introduced the VeraVent Air In-
take system to provide additional
air flow to possible problem areas
within a grain storage pile.
Rather than having to pick up
a pile due to increasing CO2 levels
or warming temperatures, VeraVent
allows the user to focus airflow to
the specific problem area, says
Regional Sales Manager Tom Scott.
VeraVent offers the ability to in-
crease air flow and quickly address
the problem area to help maintain
grain quality.
Construction
According to Scott, the VeraVent
features an 8-foot opening and is ideal
JMI Covers VeraVent Air Intake system.
for center air or conical-shaped piles,
where FM tends to build around the
inner core making balanced airflow
difficult. Once VeraVent has been
installed and secured, explains
Scott, it easily can be re-opened
and closed should product samples
or additional cooling be required.
Easy Installation
With a large 8-foot opening,
VeraVent delivers a concentrated air
flow to problem areas, says Scott.
In 15 minutes you simply can
place VeraVent over the problem
area and secure it. VeraVent be-
gins to cool the area immediately.
Once cooled, secure the protective
outer flap to prevent moisture from
re-entering the vent area.

Ceramic-Backed Elbow
Tandem Products Minneapolis, MN 800-533-0509 www.rhinohydeproducts.com
Used in dust collection systems and
pneumatic conveying lines, Tandem
Products Rhino Hyde Cerathane
ceramic-backed elbows are highly abra-
sion resistant to reduce downtime and
increase productivity.
We extend the life of metal tubes by
welding a metal shell onto the tube be-
fore packing it with Cerathane ceramic
material, says Territory Sales Manager
Joe Ademino.
The Cerathane ceramic is con-
centrated along the most severe wear
surface, the outer radius of the bend,
he explains.
Our customers appreciate how we
significantly extend the life of their
elbows.
Features

Some operators have tried apply-
ing concrete to the outside bend of a
tube, but this doesnt last as long as the
Cerathane, and the concrete adds sig-
nificant weight to the elbow, he adds.

struction and double back elbow wall.
Continuous abrasion-resistant
surface eliminates worries about losing
individual ceramic tiles during opera-
tion and downtime incurred while fab-
ricating and installing individual tiles.

Elbows are supplied with tangents

PURINA COMPLETES UPGRADES, INCREASES PELLETED FEED PRODUCTION CAPACITY BY 25%
P
urina Animal Nutrition in early
September completed a $2.4 mil-
lion modernization project at its
feed mill in Mason City, IA.
For 56 years, the Mason City feed
mill has supplied the areas farmers with
swine, dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, and
poultry feeds, and according to 16-year
Plant Manager Wes Fiddelke, it finally
was time for a major upgrade.
Fiddelke says the project is the big-
gest he has experienced in his 19 years
at the plant.
Project Details
Major aspects of the project that
began in April 2016 and was completed
in August include the addition of:
New, higher horsepower motor
to increase pellet mill
speed.
Twelve storage bins.
Additional inven-
tory space.
New bulk loadout
scale.
Automation of some
downstream functions.
According to Fiddelke, this project
expanded our production and storage
capacity for pelleted products, which
will speed up our ability to respond to
feed orders.

Offer FSMA Course
The National Grain and Feed As-
sociation (NGFA) and Kansas State
University (K-State) are offering a
third training course to assist animal
food facilities in complying with requirements estab-
lished by the Food and Drug Administrations (FDA)
Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
The next addition of the Preventive Controls for
Animal Food course is scheduled for Nov. 14-16 at
the K-State campus in Manhattan. The previous courses were
held June 28-30 and Sept. 20-22 in Manhattan.
The course is designed for individuals responsible for develop-
ing FSMA-required animal food safety plans and seeking accred-
ited hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) training.

developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance
(FSPCA) that is recognized as adequate by FDA for training in-
dividuals in the development and application of risk-based pre-
ventive controls, as required by FDAs final rule issued on Sept.
17 for Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis,
and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals.

AFIA/NGFA Hazard
Evaluation Project
The research and education wings
of the American Feed Industry Asso-
ciation (AFIA) and National Grain
and Feed Association (NGFA) have
set November 2016 as a target completion date for a joint proj-
ect to help animal feed, feed ingredient, and pet food facilities
comply with a core requirement of the Food and Drug Admin-
istrations (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
AFIAs Institute for Feed Education & Research (IF-
EEDER) and NGFAs National Grain and Feed Foundation
(NGFF) are co-sponsors of a hazard evaluation of typical in-
gredients and processes associated with the manufacturing and
distribution of animal feed and pet food being conducted by
researchers at the University of Minnesota College of Veteri-
nary Medicines Center for Animal Health and Food Safety.
According to Joel G. Newman, AFIA president and
CEO and IFEEDER president, the results of this project
are expected to provide a strong scientific basis for identify-
ing hazards and developing a hazard analysis that compa-
nies can adapt to their specific operations, thereby poten-
tially saving covered facilities millions of dollars.
Training Seminar. AFIA is offering to its members a
FSMA hazard analysis training seminar, Dec. 6-7, at the
Westin Crystal City hotel in Arlington, VA. For more in-
