In an effort to spread awareness about farm safety and the dangers that are included, “SILO” is a film that shows the devastation that a grain bin accident can bring, reports AgDaily.
Inspired by true events, “SILO” was released nationwide last Friday across 36 states and will also be available via Video OnDemand, iTunes, Vudu, Amazon, Google and other platforms.
In addition to raising awareness on farm safety, the film is donating a portion of its proceeds to the Foundation’s Progressive Agriculture Safety Days, recognized as the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America.
“We are excited to partner with the creators of ‘SILO’ to help share the importance of safety in our rural communities,” Brian Kuhl, president and chief executive officer of the Progressive Agriculture Foundation, told AgDaily. “More than a 25 years ago, the importance of farm safety was brought to the forefront by a story that ran in the Progressive Farmer magazine which sparked the start of Progressive Agriculture Safety Days.
“Today, the SILO film serves as a reminder that our work is not yet done,” he said.
