LACRESCENT, Minn. – A 63-year-old man, George Edward Howe, was pinned under a tractor and killed while pulling logs from a wooded area on his Apple Blossom Drive farm. First-responders inflated emergency air bags to hoist the tractor, but it was too late. This was about 4 p.m. in the 32000 block of County Road 1. As officers reconstructed what happened, a log being pulled by the tractor lodged between two trees, causing the tractor to flip over backwards in soggy ground.
