I don't know anything about rice. Some people grow it around here but I never have.
Most farmers around here store it and other grains. I know it can and does happen but I have never heard of any grain bin explosion in my area.

sorry for your loss but I'm not sure this is the route you want to take on a grain silo
You cut from the outside below the grain level, not the inside above the grain level. Dust explodes, soybeans do not.

From what I can tell he was negligent and almost certainly dead before any rescue efforts even started. However, I was appalled by the incompetence of the "professionals."

I’m guessing a lot local VFD too?
No there wasn't, but had there been they would have done a better job. They would have had farm experience and known what to do.
This was not my first rodeo. I helped shovel a man out of a grain tank when I was in high school. All you have to do is cut holes in the tank below the grain line. The you have men shovel grain away from the tank on the outside and men shovel toward the holes on the inside. It is not rocket science.
The guys today cut holes above the grain line and used a hand drill operated auger. They had an Agri-Vac that runs off of a tractor PTO but none of them knew how to start it.

It’s hard to believe how little training first responders in rural areas have on this kind of thing
There were responders from Cape Girardeau County that are reportedly trained in grain bin rescues. You surely would not know that from what I saw this afternoon. Not just them but all the responders present made the Amos and Andy Taxicab Company look like NASA engineers.

I ponder, if he was a farmer and main breadwinner. Will the family be ok? Or will the farm cease?
He was a farmer. He worked hard all his life, did well, lived frugally, and left his wife in good shape. The farm will go on. He once told me that he structured his estate so that his daughter can never sell it.

He suffocated in a grain tank. It is hard to explain how that can happen but any farmer on this board will know what I am talking about. It is almost always through negligence.
I counted responders from seven different jurisdictions and can honestly say that I have never seen a bigger clown show in my life. They had no idea what they were doing. They made it up as they went along and it took them hours to recover the body. Not that it mattered because by the time you realize someone is missing in a grain tank it is already too late. Nonetheless, you still try and give it all you have. With an acetylene torch, pry bar, and six men with scoop shovels I could have emptied that tank in thirty minutes.
Grant him eternal rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Not the first punt that Burns returned. He was the sole returner back to receive on that touchdown.

True. The first one. Had Casanova taken that punt it is possible that he would have returned it for a touchdown too.

Potatoes fried with onions in grease are delicious. We call it German fries in my part of the world. A little crumbled bacon adds a lot.

Ole Miss fans always make the excuse that Archie had his arm in a cast. However, Archie was not on the field when LSU score 59 of our 61 points.

I would hardly call 75% of the military a huge piece of the MAGA base. A large piece perhaps but not huge and nowhere near the majority. And yes, I would call those who thump their chests and salivate when the U.S. engages in a military action but are unwilling to participate themselves cowards.
My feeling is that if a war is not worth someone willing to die in it, or send their son to die in it, then it is not worth fighting.
If you want to die for Israel then be my guest but I have better things to do.

Casanova was one of the best punt returners in LSU history
My understanding is that his two punt returns for touchdowns against Ole Miss in 1970 tied an NCAA record that was not broken for 33 years.
