Green County Daily World's Kristen Inman reported on a bin collapse at White Farms. The 10,000-bushel bin collapsed while being unloaded into a truck. The collapse knocked over a power line and released a large amount of grain dust. The sparks from the down power line mixed with the grain dust causing an explosion which caused extensive damage.

The bin was only 5 years old and will need to be replaced before harvest.
