Ten states across the Corn Belt have a risk of field fires today (Thursday) and a farmer in southwestern Iowa says it’s a major concern.
Ray Gaesser tells Brownfield, “If you have a bearing that struggles, has a problem, and it heats up or throws a spark, it could be very dangerous,” he said. “It was very dry here, particularly the last couple of days.”
He says they take extra precautions to limit the risk of combine fires.
