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.

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.

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