A Beaufort County farmer uncovered a rare disease in his wheat field that could wipe out his crops if action isn't taken, and it could threaten other farms as well.

Farmers used a tractor to catch a crocodile in a wheat field in India. Tulsi, a landowner, spotted the 12ft beast wandering in the area in search of food in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, on March 17.

Under the warm August sun, the wiry, lushly bearded farmer moves at a slow walk through the field, swinging his scythe in a steady rhythm, the tawny stalks of wheat falling to one side in neat rows.
