Family members hug while emergency personnel try to rescue a trapped farm worker in a grain bin on Friday, Jan. 31, 2014, in Rockton, Ill. Roger Bates, 73, became trapped Friday while working with his grandson to unload material from the bin at a farm in the village of Rockton, near the city of Rockford and a few miles south of the Wisconsin state line.
