A rural Arcadia man is dead after he fell off a silo.

The Buffalo County Sheriff says it happened just before 11 a.m. Wednesday on a farm in the Town of Glencoe.

Sheriff Mike Schmidtknecht says 55-year-old Daniel Kamla was checking to see how full the 80-foot-tall silo was.

He says no one saw the fall, but a farm worker found Kamla at the base of the silo just minutes after seeing Kamla at the top of the silo.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.
