@@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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!! 👍
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 🙏
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
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
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
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 :)
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.
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
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
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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. 👏👏👏👏👏
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.
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
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.
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 👍👍🍻🍻🚜🇳🇿
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.
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
George well done with you all working along side the firemen. Was very emotional to see it. We had a small fire on our field 2 weeks ago me and dad got it under controlled before the fire crew got there but still needed them to fully put it out. It was a scary time too. Take care.
You are a legend and will do anything to help someone in need I can see it hit you hard as it would anyone you and all the firefighters did an amazing job it’s not very often you see something like that but everyone handled it very well just a shame for all the loss
my god that was emotional im so sorry for you guys big respect for you and the firefighters onwards and upwards you never know it might improve the next crop on a briter side but its a shame about losing the tractor at least your all safe thats the main thing
Here in Oz as you know on very hot days they have what’s called a harvest ban ‘ No vehicles allowed to move in a paddock helps but not the full answer had some bad ones in Western Australia around last Xmas Hope it goes ok for you George and crew
The biggest fear of all is fire to most people but on the very dry days fire can start so easily, your determination to control it wouldn't ever go unnoticed along with all the service people who thought fires across the country recently, my farther is a ex fire service person I know the hours and hard work put into chasing and trying to contain a huge field fire especially in 40 degree heat, thankfully no one was hurts and that every one when home safe
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
its a shame about everything that the fire destroyed, its has been unuserly hot and dry this month, for a second i thought i was watching whats going on in the us but no this happened in the uk, i hope you guys and girls can recover from this, i realy felt the loss of your valtra, i hope insurance can help there for ya.
That is a scary sight. God bless the men & women firefighters that risk their health fighting these fires. Are these firefighters volunteers or professional? I live in Minnesota in the US & our firefighters & ambulance crews are mostly volunteer except in the bigger cities. Our local ambulance crew has helped my Mother several times over the last few years. Sorry for the loss of crops & the tractor but thank goodness everybody was okay.
My heart goes out to anyone who has this happen to them - it is truly heart-breaking to see your livelihood literally go up in smoke. I have seen a number of hay barns & fields catch fire! And a big Well Done & Thank you to everyone who got involved in stopping the spread of the fire. Crops grow back, but lives don't - so it great to hear that now one was badly hurt or killed.
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.
Seen lots of fires recently on my travels , was in Bedford on that Tuesday and the heat was incredible ,great to see everyone pulling together and working hard to stop the fire .
That was intense George! Glad your of and it’s a shame for all that loss.
Could of been worse 👍

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.
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.

Great work George and family, l was working on a forest fire in Sweden 2019 with a slurrytanker so I now know the feeling hope everyone is doing well
Here in Oz as you know on very hot days they have what’s called a harvest ban ‘ No vehicles allowed to move in a paddock helps but not the full answer had some bad ones in Western Australia around last Xmas
Hope it goes ok for you George and crew
That must be a good help, but like you say it doesn't stop fires starting from a bit of glass 👍
Sorry to see this George. Well done to all that helped control it and put it out.
Been following you for a long time George and that was frightning. Hope everyone is OK. Shame about the tractor. Fair play to the fire service guys.

Brilliant work george and all of the farm workers, fire brigade and anyone else just glad to here no one got hurt
That was so scary. Great to see you all helping each other and hats off to the emergency services working in those conditions.
I feel grief on burning huge wheat crops...Farmers took necessary action to escape rest of crops... appericiable work...
Bloody hell George, glad you and everyone else is ok , a valiant effort, sorry for your losses. All the best Matt.
its a shame about everything that the fire destroyed, its has been unuserly hot and dry this month, for a second i thought i was watching whats going on in the us but no this happened in the uk, i hope you guys and girls can recover from this, i realy felt the loss of your valtra, i hope insurance can help there for ya.
i must ask how did the valtra catch fire, did it get too close?
@@xenonproductions1990 as George said, probably burned a hole in the diesel tank, and then its over
Bloody frightening, Big Respect to everyone involved
That is a scary sight. God bless the men & women firefighters that risk their health fighting these fires. Are these firefighters volunteers or professional? I live in Minnesota in the US & our firefighters & ambulance crews are mostly volunteer except in the bigger cities. Our local ambulance crew has helped my Mother several times over the last few years. Sorry for the loss of crops & the tractor but thank goodness everybody was okay.
My heart goes out to anyone who has this happen to them - it is truly heart-breaking to see your livelihood literally go up in smoke. I have seen a number of hay barns & fields catch fire!
And a big Well Done & Thank you to everyone who got involved in stopping the spread of the fire. Crops grow back, but lives don't - so it great to hear that now one was badly hurt or killed.
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.
Thank you George you farmers are doing a great work in this weather hope the guys ok
Seen lots of fires recently on my travels , was in Bedford on that Tuesday and the heat was incredible ,great to see everyone pulling together and working hard to stop the fire .
