YETTER, Iowa (AP) — The partial collapse of a grain elevator in west-central Iowa left a mess of corn and chunks of concrete littering the railroad tracks next to it. The Fort Dodge Messenger reports the collapse happened early Tuesday morning at the Landus Cooperative elevator in Yetter. Officials say a structural failure caused the side of one silo-like receiving pit to blow out around 4:30 a.m., sending a sea of corn to the ground below. Mary Harrington, a spokeswoman for Landus, said the damage was not caused by an explosion and that there was no fire risk. No one was injured in the collapse.
