Man killed in farming accident near Manderson

Authorities say a man was killed while baling hay on a farm near Manderson. Cpt. Brent Godfrey with the Bighorn County Sheriff's Office says that authorities who were called to the Cecil Mullens farm Wednesday morning found 25-year-old Ty Aagard dead. Godfrey says the ranch's farmer went to check on Aagard and realized the machine was full. When he tripped the trigger to dump the hay, he discovered the man wrapped in the bale. Godfrey says Aagard might have been sucked into the baler while trying to unplug the machine.
