Fire destroys a piece of farming equipment over the weekend.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan tells KSAL News that around 3pm Sunday afternoon, Justin Huiett of Longford was operating a MegaWide-John Deere round baler in the 3600 block of Crawford, when the machine caught fire.

Huiett escaped injury but the baler is a total loss.

Replacement cost is estimated at over $20,000.
