Saw this--650,000 bu.x 8=$5.2 million. Some place in Mo. They say it is quite a sight at night. Spontaneous combustion from the flood waters......

What a mess. You wonder if you can pour enough water on it to eventually put it out. Could be the thing is a total loss so just wait till it is a pile of ashes. Same deal with a little town in Pennsylvania. Drove through there many years ago. Kinda weird to smell and see coal smoke coming through cracks in the ground all along the street.

I have a old Navy buddy that lives in Brockton Pa. and we went out to see him 4 years ago and he took us to Centralia-Had to ask the Wife for sure the name-It was eerie to say the least....
 
Something like this is how many ancient myths get started. When peoples houses started getting swallowed up is when most of the town moved. Was a typical little Pennsylvania town at one time.
 
Is piling soybeans outside becoming a common practice? That sounds very risky, especially in a flood plane like is pictured. Many co-ops would store corn in an outside pile to make space for storing soybeans inside.

If bottom of the soybean pile was flooded, the lower portion of the pile was probably already written off as un-salvageable even before the fire started. I'm surprised they didn't try to salvage the upper undamaged potion of the pile while there was a chance, but I don't know all the circumstances.
