MILFORD, Neb. - It took nearly four months, but to the relief of neighbors miles around, a burning manure pile has been extinguished.

David Dickinson, owner and manager of Midwest Feeding Co., said Wednesday that several weeks of pulling the 2,000-ton pile apart proved effective by late last week.

3. Once saw a local tv news story about a

mud farm west of Rochester where the dirt was on fire. It was followed up the next day in the D&C.

Never did understand the story.
