HARTINGTON — John A. Bargstadt, 59, a Cedar County Commissioner and long-time Hartington farmer was fatally injured in a tractor accident on the H.K. Burney farm.
The accident happened about 5:15 p.m. as Mr. Bargstadt was returning a borrowed spreader to the Burney farm. Mr. Bargstadt was making a left turn into the driveway of the Burney farm when he apparently fell or was thrown from the tractor. The tractor and spreader remained upright, going through a fence into a feed lot and stopping when it hit a feed bunk.
The spreader apparently ran over Mr. Bargstadt causing several chest and facial injuries. He was rushed to the Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, S.D. by ambulance, where he died at 6:45 p.m.
