BOVINA — A Clovis man died Tuesday in an accident at Heartland Co-op in Bovina, officials said.
Michael Molden, 51, was moving corn when he “went in the silo and was sucked under the corn,” Bovina Police Chief Joe Orozco said.
The accident happened about 3:30 p.m. CDT, Orozco said, and was witnessed by two co-workers.
Parmer County Sheriff Randy Geries said elevator workers sometimes have to go in the bins to push grain through. He said Molden went in to help a co-worker when the accident happened.
