A well-known Iredell County, N.C., farmer died in an accident Monday evening. Robert Stamey, 76, died when the skid-steer loader he was operating slid into a waste lagoon at Stamey Farms, said Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell. Campbell said the skid-steer was totally submerged when emergency personnel arrived on the scene Monday. One deputy did go into the lagoon in an attempt to rescue Stamey, who was inside the cab of the vehicle, Campbell said, but he was unable to reach the vehicle.
