'You think it's not going to happen to you:' Ohio farmer survives after being buried up to his neck inside a soybean bin. The three-hour rescue effort on the farm involved 52 first responders from a dozen departments.
In this May 30, 2019 photo provided by the Ross Township Fire Department rescue personnel shovel soybeans out of the bottom of a bin during an effort to rescue farmer Jay Butterfield, who was buried up to his neck inside. He became buried up to his neck while trying to break up clumps of soybeans in the bin on his farm in Ross Township, Ohio.
Sometimes a job becomes so routine and familiar that carelessness creeps in. That’s the way it happened on Butterfield’s 116-acre farm north of Cincinnati. Butterfield had multiple problems. He was close enough to the bin’s bottom to put his foot on the rotating auger, which helps sweep out the beans and threatened to suck him down into it. The machinery stripped the leather off one of his steel-toed boots and ripped the lace out.
It happens so often, in fact, that fire departments in farming regions undergo special training and acquire equipment just for these situations. One such crew, comprised of members of the Reily Township volunteer fire department, was near Butterfield’s farm. Loved ones were trying to keep his wife Genevra, who has had some health problems, up at the house, so she would stay calm. But she saw the hubbub and came down anyway. The yard filled with others who arrived to watch.
