The worker got sucked in by corn while he was emptying the bin.
His employer, who was part of the rescue efforts, is thanking firefighters for saving the man’s life.
Mewes said he grabbed a tractor and rammed the bin to break it open. Hard enough to damage the tractor too.“He [the farmhand] was still talking and breathing and able to communicate with us,” Reamer said. The farmhand was rushed to the hospital, and Mewes said he spent all night and most of the following day with him.
