@@GeorgeSaunders Just wondering how come you didn't use a plow or disk to turn the soil and try and help make a fire brake line at the first farm. I think you own that farm with the grass field.
Oh my god that was one off the most emotional videos you've ever posted. Am glad no one got hurt or injured crops and machinery are insured I know it's not the same as having them but life is far more important and valuable very important video it shows the non farmers out there just how quickly things can turn sour and also shows how the farming community always unite in times off need pat on he back buddy and to everyone else involved
So upsetting to see the devastating loss of your crops and the machinery, but no injuries and no houses or barns thanks to all your hard work and that of the brilliant fire crews.
On that day we had a fire behind our farm, I drove my Loadall along the fire front with the grain bucket down on the ground, I was driving through the fire front, I was amazed how just flattening the crop stopped the fire. It’s very scary how fast the fire moves.
That was heartwrenching to watch. Huge respect for you, your family and neighbours and the fire fighters. The devastation. That was horrendous. So glad no one got hurt, kit can be replaced and crops grown again next year. Keep safe George!
I'm farmer's son and can feel and understand the pain of loss of burning crops ,our 40 acres of wheat farms were burned in India. Sorry for your loss sir
I'm not in the better after watching that George. Absolutely heartbreaking to see the damage caused. Massive respect to you all for taking action and stopping the fire from spreading further. I'm glad everyone involved came away from it in one piece albeit the Valtra. Hopefully the remainder of all of your harvest and that of your neighbours gets gathered in safely.
Wow, that’s really frightening - take care out there George and Liz. Great to see the local farming community joining together to help each other out. Respect to the fire brigade as well.
Well, being a farmer, it's hard to watch something like this because I know how something like this really impacts a farm operation like yours. My heartfelt respects to all who jumped in to help get the fires out. Farmers stick together when the time of need arises. Glad everyone is ok.
Hats off to everyone involved in putting that fire out. Such a team spirit and really quite emotional to watch. Proud of each and everyone of you. Huge respect.
My sister in law, lives and works in Greece. She was evacuated on Tuesday, when the fires reached her garden. I can't imagine what that must be like, knowing that your house could be gone, when you return.
Absolutely devastating. Both emotionally and literally! At a time when there is a war preventing Ukrainians producing food and farmers under immense pressure due to high prices and a shortage of parts etc., these fires really add the strain to all those farmers who are very aware of current circumstances. Farmers produce food and when they are prevented from doing so, it bloody well hurts. Seeing the tractor going up in flames really got to me. Not because it is a tractor, but because it is not that easy to replace right now and without it, efficiency on the farm and therefore productivity decreases dramatically with it. Not to mention the hassle of having to deal with insurance companies who will be keen to keep the payments to a minimum. Let's hope that these kinds of extreme weather events don't increase in frequency as the scientists are predicting.
Lets hope the scientists are wrong? Ironically, every fire contributes to global warming, and together with people sitting in their cars with their aircon on - we're doomed!
I Just Hope That he Gets a Payout on that Tractor !,How Do you Explain Driving in to a Burning Field in Your £150,000 New Tractor😢 It Would Be Good To Know What the Fire service Say about It As He Was Helping them in Effect But Who Will Say They Asked if he Could Do that or Was it On his Own Doing etc etc (Insurance usually Want to Blame Someone)
Hello George, thank god that no one was hurt!!! You know…during all this the loss and devastation and it’s not apparent at the moment BUT opportunities will arise from this…because they always do😊straight away everyone united and pulled together overcoming and beating this fire👍 farmers are a tough breed👍 On a lighter note….good to see the old TW doing her bit🥰 At least you are all safe!!!! 👍
Blimey George you don’t need to much of this in your life. 10 out 10 for holding it together while filming . Heartbreaking to watch the loss of all that harvest especially with food and water shortages as they are
George im sorry for you less very upsetting to see I'm amazed at how calm you were and professional I don't want you or your family to ever have to go through that e ever again or no farmer I really appreciate your video im autistic God bless to you and the farmers who have been effected the fire fighter s are amazing thanks to you all for the wonderful work you all do
Glad it's all out now. I've seen some myself over the years contracting. And stopped 1 from spreading. I was out ploughing and saw smoke rising from a field of wheat over the road . By the time I finished the land I could see that it was on fire instantly instinct takes over I called the squirters then just got over there with the plough , I didn't care who's land it was or know the gate was locked but that didn't argue with 1.2t of weights and ploughed a fire break across the corner and wherever I could back into. It did the job and the farmer lost less than 4 acres all told and I got a very good drink out of it :)
Thank you goerge for sharing this with us all .full respect to all of you for mucking in and all the firefighters for keeping going in the heat .tractors can be replaced we can't stay safe
Field fires are the worse thing ever. That could have been a whole lot worse, and its a testament to you and everyone involved that kept it to the size it was
That's what rural farming community is all about. Helping each other out in real hard times. Thing the city based greens never see. Tough to watch I was getting emotional as Liz was speaking and then you started. Well done stay safe!
Great Video George, I well remember a fire not long after i had left school it started one day when a mower clipped a a stone and a burned across a grass paddock into some trees, the next day the wind got up and is started burning again, it narrowly missed a 17.000 acre forest and eventually stopped in a farm where they had been cultivating paddocks for a couple of days, the net result was awful, three houses burned, one fire engine was driving as fast as they could just to keep in front of it, thanks for sharing
Shit!! That's truly heartbreaking to see, George! Hope you'll be able to make up for the lost crop. Thankfully nobody was hurt!! Massive respect to all involved in bringing this under control - yourselves and the fire crews etc. etc. So glad it wasn't any worse than it was! Thoughts are with you 🙏
I love how as the video progressed more and more farmers and tractors showed up. Doesn't matter whose fields they are, everyone's on the way with something to help out... You just have to do these things..... We do this in the US too. I was also a fireman for 30 years and yeah, that kit is awful in this weather.
That was intense George, huge respect to all the neighboring farms and the fire departments helping out, watching this video brings back some memories of the fires i experienced and combined beside while on the custom harvest crews
Our thoughts are with you all from over her in Australia, it’s a very scary time when it’s that hot. I could feel the emotion in your voice. Glad everyone is ok. Shame about the Valtra.
You guys did very well stopping that, we have in the past had kids starting fires on the hills. Cameras have been put up and that has reduced the problem . Great teamwork
Got afew mate in local volunteer rural fire crews here in New Zealand and when they dealing with fire like that they pray for the tractor's and disc's to roll in. Had 1 afew years ago that we work a 6k long fire break in that stopped the fire getting spread wide to make it easier for the helicopters with monsoon buckets to concentrate. Well done to all those involved stopping it. Cheers n beer's from Methven, New Zealand guy's 👍👍🍻🍻🚜🇳🇿
Good job George, we are in South beds and this week has been a real worry with the crops and the sheep in the dry grass fields, good to see the community spirit.
Horrific horrific site, I take my hat off to your and all your fellow famers who as we saw put themselves at risk to fight terrible foe. I can appreciate the emotions you must have been feeling as after all time and expense to get your crops to this point only to see it go up in flames. Keep well and keep safe.
Russia has amazing BE-200 firefighting planes that could help in extinguishing fires and saving crops, but in view of Johnson's short-sighted policy, these planes save crops elsewhere, and as a result, ordinary residents of the UK suffer
Genuine question here, would a plough not slow it down better? I know it wouldn't be covering the width but would be completely burying the fuel. Or would it just get clogged up with the crop?
@@kitbuilder123 I have ploughed with four bottom ahead of fire it jumos easily over that. A four meter disk equals 10 bottom 16" plough. Also the crop will plug the plough, you are right. I think the rotating disk is the best available but the soil was very hard and dry you can hear the screech of the disks digging into the hard ground.
Im sorry mate that you went through this, it def wont be normal for you lads. for us anything that hits 40C and high winds is a paddock ban. Glad no human life was lost, great to see everyone chipping in and helping out!
From someone who is not from a farming background but is massively passionate about it, this is heartbreaking to watch, can't imagine how devastating it is for the farmers watching all their hard work to get the fields to where they are just burning away infront of them. Always beautiful to see farmers coming together to help each other out, without the help of the farmers the fires may well of been alot worse, terrible shame about the valtra but atleast the operator got away fine and that's all that really matters at the end of the day that nobody is injured. A old new holland tx caught alight last week near where i live and I see the smoke , luckily it didn't spread and only burned a bit of stubble around it, rang the fire brigade up and they said they were on scene trying to put it out and fortunately they managed to contain it to a small area, dont think we have had anything as bad as this video here in Oxfordshire and hopefully not but I am aware there has been quite a few fires round here. Glad you guys managed to contain the fire to some degree and glad everyone was okay.
Hats off to all that helped out on the day. It's a scary thing to experience. Was involved in putting a huge gorse fire out years ago and it's something that you hope to never experience again. Glad all ok and hats off to all fire crews also. Unreal job. It just shows how the farming community never ask questions, never stop to consider themselves. It's simply, what can I do to help, and they come together to do it. Plain and simple. Here in Ireland, whenever theres mass flooding etc, it's the farmers who just spring into action. No questions asked. 👏👏👏👏👏
We had a big fire here at our farm in East Tennessee back in March. Had to cut our fences and turn our cattle loose. Watching this truly gives me ptsd of that night
I take my hat off to you and your family and other farmers that came together to help.Also greatest respects to the firefighters who were in the thick of it.
That's some serious fires I remember fire near us a few years back it was a bog fire it got out of control and burnt about 3 forest trees in a space of about 3 hours massive devastation course wildlife and crops sorry for your loss
So long as people are safe and you did your best George you should be relieved and proud that you beat the fire. Tractors and crops can be replaced, a life cannot. Credit where it's due to all including the fire service.
Here in the MidWest of the US where I live farmers often keep a disc attached to one of their tractors when drought conditions happen, particularly when they have unharvested grain in the field. Filling up your tanker is always a smart move as well. Cell phones and two way radios are also a big help. You can call or be called by neighbors and told where you need help or they need it.
As this world seems to get even more crazy watching this video has that wonderful feeling of helping people in need and all pulling together, thank heavens the village was not in its path and hats of to you and all your family for your part in saving the day well done pal be proud of your selfs.
good job mate this weather is off its fukn head Im in southern Australia and can't believe your getting 40+ degree days, thats normally our summer temps its insane glad everyone is safe
A massive well done for helping to keep the fire contained, that could’ve been so much worse. As if you guys weren’t busy enough this time of year, you’re out fighting fires too.
Be careful in this newer equipment with plastic fuel and hydro tanks, it doesn't take much to melt right through. One of our neighbors last year nearly didn't make it out of his tractor when the fuel tank let loose chasing a fire. He said it went from fine to totally engulfed in less than a minute.
That was intense George! Glad your of and it’s a shame for all that loss.
Could of been worse 👍
@@GeorgeSaunders Just wondering how come you didn't use a plow or disk to turn the soil and try and help make a fire brake line at the first farm. I think you own that farm with the grass field.
@@jonathanbair523I think he said the guy put 3000lbs of water on it before coming to the 2nd fire
All for one and one for all, sorry about the lost Valtra, as long as the driver is ok though. The tractor is replaceable. Top effort everyone.
Sorry for your loss George,huge respect for all the firefighters 🚒
And the other farmets
@@kingg_airsoft5380 Yes,including the farmers,everyone who was there that day fighting the fire.

Brilliant work george and all of the farm workers, fire brigade and anyone else just glad to here no one got hurt
Thankyou for taking the trouble to share this with us. We would not have grasped the reality just from the news
