STEWART, Minn. - Rescuers cut a hole in a grain bin in an attempt to reach a trapped farmer but were unsuccessful.
Randall Hillman, 47, was pronounced dead at his father's farm Thursday evening, said Sibley County Sheriff Bruce Ponath.
Ponath said Hillmann was apparently trying to break up the top level of grain in a bin when the grain gave way. Hillmann was buried.
Rescuers were called, but they could not get to the trapped farmer in time. Ponath said Hillmann was under the grain for 20 to 25 minutes.
Stewart is about 60 miles south of St. Cloud.
