It looks like the Grand Canyon! Bean field collapses and falls 25 feet overnight in rural Minnesota, baffling farmers and experts

Consequence of the extreme drought in Near Climax, Minnesota, a small crack in the ground has grown, causing a quarter-mile long stretch of bean field to fall 25 feet. Few have ever seen anything like it.

It is still hard for Wayne Erickson to make sense of what happened on his farm. Simply put, a section of his black bean field fell two stories.

“When I drove out here, it looked like the Grand Canyon. We didn’t have all that slumping going on, it was just straight down. Straight up and down,” Erickson said.

Wayne and Erllene Erickson are the fourth generation on the family farm, and they’ve never seen anything like this. Nobody is sure what caused the huge slide.

“It’s kind of scary. It is sad, sad to see it,” said Erllene Erickson as she surveyed the fallen field. “Mother Nature does what she wants.”

Add it to the “strange events” list. I don’t know do these things occur with some regularity, or is this extraordinarily rare as it seems?

Sinkhole!!!!

I always like the part where the experts are baffled.

[Kriggerel]

Indeed. Pump out too much of the groundwater, and that is what happens...

Trumps fault or global warming?

[CrappieLuck]

True.

Drained aquifers look a lot like caverns and they collapse. Especially when they are in dirt, not bedrock.

The “Baffled exerts” are not very expert at all.

Obviously man made global warming.

I saw one of them once one a coal mine.

There is some limestone near the surface in that part of Minnesota. Sinkhole would be my guess as well.

What a nice canyon! A GRAND little canyon!

It’s either COVID or climate change. No other explanation.
Third option is apocalypse.
