An update to this story if one can believe the TV news hawks. Speculation is that the farmer was trying to outrun the flames when he went into the ditch and rolled the tractor.

>>>Deputies believe either he or a ditch company were burning brush near the irrigation ditch and it got out of control. He called for the fire department before his tractor flipped.
About 100 acres were burned by the brush fire.
The investigation is ongoing to determine cause and origin of the fire.<<<
Well, if it turns out that a ditch company was doing the burning...they're liability insurance just was cancelled...
