NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD NEWS) — Grain bin safety remains a major concern across agriculture, with grain bin entrapment resulting in nearly two dozen on-farm deaths each year in the United States. Efforts to improve safety and rescue readiness are gaining attention as risks persist on farms and in rural communities.
Kevin Charleston of Specialty Risk Insurance joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the company’s work focused on grain bin safety.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Charleston discussed Specialty Risk’s co-branded presence with Nationwide at CattleCon 2026 and the agency’s sponsorship of grain bin rescue tubes for fire departments, explaining why supporting rescue preparedness is important to their organization.
Charleston also touched on the broader impact of farm accidents on rural communities and shared how Specialty Risk Insurance works with farmers and first responders — beyond rescue tube sponsorships — to promote safer operations and reduce risk on farms and ranches.
Finally, Charleston outlined some steps farmers can take to better address safety risks in their operations. Watch his full interview below:
