LARCHWOOD, Iowa (AP) – Two girls who went missing after going out to pick corn in a northwest Iowa field have been found safe. The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office says the girls were ages 3 and 6. They went to pick corn on Thursday afternoon and got lost in a field.

Sioux City television station KTIV says several law enforcement agencies and a helicopter joined the search. A passer-by spotted the girls about 2 1/2 hours after they were reported missing. They’ve been reunited with their parents.
