Focused on Keeping Farmers Safe
Our Grain Bin Rescue program provides life-saving equipment and training to first responders across our three-state territory. As bin storage increases, so does the risk of accidents. AgCountry is proud to donate grain bin rescue units to area fire departments to help support rural communities and promote farm safety.
The program is closed for 2025. Check back in January 2026.
