A worker falls nearly 40 feet at a Baker County peanut plant. Randall Sadler, an independent contractor, was removing a pipe from the Top Nut Peanut Plant when he lost his balance and fell off a bucket elevator on the outside of the building.

Anthony Roberts was working just above Randall Sadler who fell off the elevator around 2:30 Saturday afternoon.
