At approximately 2:40 p.m. crews responded to the fire in a cornfield with leftover stock.

High winds fanned the flames across the fire which consumed approximately four acres.

A piece of farm machinery circled the perimeter of the fire helping to create a fire break to help stop the blaze from spreading.
