On April 4th 2013, FC donated grain rescue tubes and
sponsored training for the Lake City and Yetter Fire departments at its Yetter,
Iowa location. Over 30 firefighters and
FC employees were in attendance for this training. Training was conducted by Dale
Ekdahl, founder of Out State Data Company, a manufacturer of grain rescue tubes based out of Elbow
Lake Minnesota on how to effectively conduct a grain rescue with the rescue
tubes that were provided. Members of the fire departments took turns being engulfed
in the grain and using the tubes to rescue the victim. Overall all attendees
really enjoyed the training and learned a lot about grain rescue. - Ahad Mujeeb; Safety Coordinator, Regions 1,2, and 3, Farmers Cooperative Company.
