Structural Issue Leads to Collapsed Grain Bin in Lebo, KS

No injuries after bin containing 12,000 bushels of grain collapsed at Murphy Agri

Nobody was injured after a bin containing approximately 12,000 bushels of grain collapsed in Lebo, KS on Wednesday.

According to KVOE Radio, the collapse happened just before 5 p.m. at the Murphy Agri LLC grain elevator.

The owners told KVOE that they noticed structural issues around noon after a truck picked up a load of grain.

Murphy Agri Co-Owner Karin Murphy says this knowledge allowed them to make some adjustments to prevent the collapse from turning into a more serious situation.
