    I was 9 years old when this happened. We lived on a farm east of Deerfield, Ks. the snow covered our house, the whole front yard. We climbed up the highest drift and tied a red rag to mark it. 19 feet high. I think a neighbor came riding on a horse into our front yard and asked us, "Where are your cars?", we said, "you are on top of them". Was that possible?

    Not sure if this is even still here. My gg grandfather was the manager of this co-op from 1903 until 1969 when it closed. He told a story of killing a guy that worked for him here. Albert Bickford was his name. Albert came to work drunk all the time, my ggg had his fill of it one April day, when Albert came stumbling in to the main entry way. my ggg threw a clevis at Albert striking him in the head. He was bleeding profusley but still alive and enraged. Albert pulled a cycle down from the wall and ran at my ggg, in doing so fell face down in a pile of grain. My ggg was very angry and picked up a Muller Stone and beat Albert repeatidly in the back of the head until dead. My ggg being the manager of this mill, getting his employees to help dispose of the body. It is said that theydug a 12-foot-deep hole with a Fordson Tractor and blade, dumped the wooden barrel holding Bickford's remains into the pit, and then piled more than one dozen wooden barrels on top of Bickford's, before filling the hole in with dirt to cover up the evidence. Many residents were questioned as to the disapearance of Bickford, but everyone remained silent. Until now. Scott Louser of Minot ND whose ggg workrd for my ggg, knows the story and also knows the exact burial location of Bickford. Louser has spoken out many times but to deaf ears. He is now being heard. Louser states the body is buried exactly as described, and is under the grain mill. I'm not sure is this Grain elevator still here in Arena ND?

    Very random, but how thick should the walls be on a silo that is ~25' diameter and ~65' high? ...also roughly how expensive is a silo (like the one in the video or my hypothetical 25'x65' one?)

    • @GCCoop
      @GCCoop Рік тому

      That depends on several factors. I can tell you these silos are 50' across and 120' tall. The outer walls are 7 1/2" thick with 4000 PSI-engineered concrete and rebar to withstand the pressure. There are 16" holes about every 3 feet around 70 feet deep every 3 feet around the diameter to stabilize the foundation to keep the ground from settling. The PSI of the concrete depends on several things including the soil beneath it as well as how fast the leg carrying the leg is running. The cost is usually determined by bushel volume. We used McPherson Concrete out of Mcpherson, Kansas to build these silos: mcphersonconcrete.com/. Someone like that could be better suited to answer those questions and give you a price. With all the supply issues and inflation, there's no way we'd be able to build this now for what we paid for it then but I can tell you it was in the millions of dollars for this location.

    What's the ideal moisture level to keep the grain in the silos ? How is grain dust explosive ?

    • @GCCoop
      @GCCoop 2 роки тому

      Great questions! Moisture content depends on the grain - and the facility managing it. We like to keep it on the drier side as it will keep the grain in better condition longer, but you don't want it so dry that it starts getting brittle. It's a fine line. For hard red wheat for instance, we aim for 9-10% and for our field corn - 12-13%. As to the grain dust question, grain dust is highly combustible. This means it has a high surface area and can be heated very quickly. When suspended in the air, it has a large amount of oxygen to fuel ratio. When you have a large volume of dust particles, plenty of oxygen in a confined space, and an ignition source - it only takes a spark. This could come from static electricity,, a fire from faulty or overloaded equipment (such as an overloaded bearing on a conveyor belt), welding/cutting, unapproved inspection lamps and motors, smoking, etc. There is what's known as the dust explosion pentagon: Confinement, Oxygen, Grain Dust, Dispersion & Ignition. These elements combined create a primary phase of an explosion - a confined explosion from the heat source that dislodges even more dust into the air and that creates the second and most often much more catastrophic explosion.

    Fumigation of the grain?

    • @GCCoop
      @GCCoop 2 роки тому

      Yes, whenever the bin is found to have bugs(which is not very often) the bin needs to be fumigated. The probing sample taken at the scale is to try and ascertain the quality of the grain before getting sent to the bin, but every now and then, bugs can slip by. The pesticides used in our elevator facilities are food grade and when label directions are followed, they are completely safe to use. There are stringent guidelines on the application and how long the withdrawal period is before the pesticide dissipates. We have to follow guidelines from several regulatory bodies including: The US Department of Agriculture, Department of Labor, Department of Transportation, FDA, EPA, OSHA, and Kansas Department of Agriculture to ensure we remain in compliance with food safety guidelines among other regulations.
