Brownwood News – It is hay season in this part of the country. The hay harvest started a grass fire early Wednesday afternoon on property about two miles northwest of Early.
According to Early Fire Chief, Chad Hill, it is believed a bearing went out on a hay baler which started the fire. The baler burned but the tractor was saved. Two bales of hay and about two acres were consumed, Hill said.
