Kingsbury County Sheriff's Office is warning farmers of diesel fuel thefts during harvest season.

The Kingsbury County Sheriff's Office issued a warning on Monday after receiving reports of diesel fuel thefts in the area. The alert comes as harvest season ramps up, a busy period when fuel tanks, pumps and equipment are frequently in use and sometimes left unattended in fields and farmyards.

Keloland reports that a second fuel theft case has been confirmed in the county, with gasoline siphoned from a bulk tank. This follows a reported diesel theft that occurred on farmland in the county.

The Sheriff's Office is encouraging residents to take precautions and look out for one another's property. 'In our rural communities, looking out for one another makes a difference,' the Sheriff's Office wrote. Anyone who notices suspicious activity or believes they have been the victim of fuel theft is asked to contact the Kingsbury County Sheriff's Office.
