Grain farmer Tony D'Agnone shovels barley


Grain farmer Tony D'Agnone shovels barley into an augur which loads a truck with grain at his 5 000 acre farm in Skiff Alberta. D'Agnone has been farming for the past 40 years but three years ago he became severely allergic to the grain dust his livelihood depends on. It was then he heard about an air filtration helmet manufactured in Italy that contains two electric fans which draws air through two HEPA filters and removed of all particulate matter. He now wears it continually throughout the month long harvest when he is continually loading and unloading grain.
