I guess the next few distributions of grain will be a bit smokey.

turkey takes grain and grinds it into flour then bags it and ships it. so chrimony below has a good argument. BTW grain production is up 4 percent over the year. all the food aid NGOs get funding then use that to buy and disperse food. yeah it is a nice little racket too.

You know it's not unusual for grain silos to explode because of dust: https://knobelsdorffenterprises.com/grain-elevator-explosions-what-are-they-and-how-to-prevent-them/

"Explosions most commonly occur at a transfer point"

Which is why grain silos are practically indestructible

You'd need data for the last 10 years to decide if the number of recent explosions are unusual.
