We had a fire in our area last week. Don’t know what started it. Believe it was a combine. It’s very dry here. The fire at one point was almost 3/4 of a mile wide and it was driven. By high winds of 30mph or more. It burned about 3 miles long before it under control. Several farmsteads were saved. At the same time another fire broke out about 10 miles to the south. Don’t have much information on that fire. Several fire departments responded and local farmers with tillage equipment assisted. Local coops helped haul water with support equipment. Their were 8 com firmed fires in the state that day
Larson Farms, Thank You so very much for taking your time, equipment and money to help save a neighboring farmers crop! This is truly what being an American is all about, helping those in need. I am not a farmer, but damn proud to watch your channel and support you. God Bless all of you! 🙏🇺🇸
@@erniezsigo3926with all respect, I farmed in US and on a few other continents, EVERYWHERE in the world ppl/naigbours jump and help in these cases. Nothing special about US in this matter!
As an Australian farmer and captain of our local fire brigade, I dread these days during harvest. You all handled this perfectly, don't get bullied around a fire ground and don't send someone in where you wouldn't go yourself. Well done Larson team. 👍
As someone who has seen an out of control field fire first hand - it's unexplainable. A 4WD tractor hooked to a deep tillage and heavy harrow hooked to another circling the perimeter in as high of gear as possible to keep everyones properties safe. Eric ripping past the camera at full tilt and everyone on the radios - memories.
Great job helping out!!! We need more of that !!! Farmers, Elevator workers, Gas station workers, Grocery store workers everyone who works to serve the community they live in. Thanks to all.
Such a blessing to have neighbors who will drop everything and just do what needs to be done and not sit around waiting on someone to tell them! Also, Thank The Lord for the fire fighters. Everything that did go wrong could have went so much worse!!! Sending ❤ and Blessings to the family of the crop loss.
Three springs ago in Northeast Nebraska there was a field fire near Lyons that burnt hundreds of acres two houses and farm places took about fifty farmers and tillage equipment and about 30 fire departments almost 12 hours to get it out. We even had local coops hauling water in tender trucks. Steep hills and 50 mph wind gusts helped fuel much of the fire. No severe injuries. Always thanks to those farmers and especially the volunteer fire fighter for all their efforts.
Chet, Dougo, Big Swede, Brody .. been watching you 4 for over 2 years as my Dad was a farmer when he was alive, and I miss farming life. Your story telling fills me with joy and smiles every week. Thank you! Today's video brought back memories of a fire on our farm in my childhood where I was driving a cultivator through standing Winter Barley (back in UK) at high speed (or high for the size of tractor we had) - much like Eric was today - WTG BS! Great work to all of you for mobilizing so fast and helping the neighbor! .. You and your seriously huge machines got it done. That adrenalin will take a few days to work through - Get some good sleep and take it gently for a few days. And thank you again for some great entertainment over the last few years.
The way you guys have each other’s backs is awesome. Regardless of what is going on to drop everything and help each other is what America is all about. Hats off to all and GOD BLESS
Here in East Central Illinois- we are in a drought. So dry, many field fires- combines lost. Most are done now- tilling, hauling to the elevator. Farmers are the best at dropping everything and heading in to help when the fires happen. Glad you were able to get that one stopped. It sure could have been worse.
Wow I am just speechless grew up on a farm still farm some I am 43 and never seen a field fire. Thanks Larson farms and all the other farmers for jumping into action
Earlier this summer SaskDutch Kid helped a neighbour knock down a field fire as well. He was in the area, saw the smoke and by chance had a full tanker of liquid manure behind his tractor which was lucky for everyone involved. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Since then I have seen one more video where that also happened. Friends is the right places.
Thank god no one lost their life and corn can grow next year no equipment and thanks to all the other farmers as little loss as possible. Thank god say a prayer you all
We've had fires in the rice fields. The ground was still so wet, the fire department couldn't get in. Thank God the area ag sprayers used their planes to get it out. Thanks to you guys for helping out your neighbors.
It doesn't matter what country farmers are in , if there is an emergency they are there helping all that they can. We are a rare find in these days and times. Well done gentlemen. 🇨🇦
One of a farmer's worst fears. These windy days we had while harvesting always kept the thought of fire in the back of your mind. We have never had a fire ourselves, but we have had neighbor lose a combine & another lost a tractor to fire. Nobody was hurt in either case. It's great to see neighbors helping neighbors.
I am thankful that no one was hurt. It was fate that you all were working in the area to respond with such speed to save what you were able to. I believe it was the same-day here in Michigan that a tractor caught fire while it was running a grain auger a mile north of us. Then, just a few hours later, a combine in the next field caught their head on fire. What a dry year all around.
Yes, the fire was bad, but to see how everyone worked together to put it out was a thing of beauty. Everyone involved needs to be extremely proud of themselves.
What a yoyo year too wet in the Spring too dry in the Fall and in between mud and re seeding spots! Those cutfire alleys saved the day plus the wind was not too active. Congrats to Larson team saving the day.
God bless farmers. So sorry this happened to your neighbors but thankful everyone is safe . And wow, Big Swede, just when I thought couldn’t like him more... What a MAN.
Grandparents had a fire back in the early 80's, took out 1 equipment shed and got up into 2 other buildings. That was a nightmare for them. Awesome video guys. 🚜🚜🚜
Sorry you had to deal with fire in the corn fields. Dry fields is always a challenge! A tip of the hat to neighbors that support neighbors in need! Take care and be safe...
Every year I suggest you put “drying corn” scented soy candles in your Merch shops. You grow soy & corn. Perfect farm advertisement. I’d definitely buy them.
Was a volunteer firefighter Local farmer had a bearing go out in combine cutting beans, throwing embers out with the trash, starting fires behind him. He pulls in with second combine to make a fire break. That second combine sucked in embers and was restarting fires out the back as well. we got it under control, both field and sprayed down sieves. It was a day with 35 mph winds
I agree chet. Love the smell of pocket change(corn) drying!! Only reason I'll clean the screens on the tower dryer.. oh ya she's 25 years old and nothing but work!! Love your dryer setup no screens!!
I am blown away at how fast and fully you all deployed and handled that emergency. Do you ever discuss strategic plans on how to handle emergencies like that? Great job!
That’s scary stuff right there. I’m glad you all were there to help, could’ve been much worse. Just not the year you all hoped for. Bad crops, crazy weather and all the break downs. Let’s pray the rest of the year goes well and next year maybe it will be better!!
As a retired fire fighter . Forest fighter but when there a farm fire we went. Small fields in those days. Biggest field was 160 Always had green grass and brush on fence lines. Now same fields are all owned by same farmer that had family to continue farming. Now one place I worked field fire is now 650 With no fence line between crops . Fire would run hard. Good job with the big tractor. Back then big cultivar was 16 ft. Lol
You know dougo has adrenaline pumping when he's beating on the old dodge going through the feild!!! That must have been intense!! Good job guys shows what good farmers you are!!! If a neighbor need help you help em!!!
Back in 1973, (from NYC) while visiting my Mom's cousin near Lead, SD there was a fire that started in a oak/wheat (?) field nearby. Everyone piled into a pickup with 55 gallon drums with water and burlap bags. Slinging the burlap on the active file to beat it down, and having the piles of cow flop burning, put out, then re-ignighting behind you was an experience for a city boy.
Excellent work, everyone. As was noted, no injuries, only loss of corn. Hopefully, insurance covers that loss and next year brings better results. All the best to everyone.
Great content Chet... I'm a volunteer firefighter in Eastern Nebraska... we have had deal with 4 field fires in our and neighboring districts... the local farmers will stop harvest at the drop of a dime to help... without you and all area farmers... the destruction path would be worse..
Lost track of number combine fires we’ve had recently. So major some not . One articulated tractor and grain cart was lost completely on the road west of us. 40 miles local farmer.
As scary as the fire was y’all handled it well. My family farms and my husband used to be a fire fighter for the county. I’ve seen what happens when there is no way to get there quick. Y’all were amazing. Tell big Swede he did an awesome job!! Love the videos.
The solar flares knocked out my gps after 5pm eastern that day. That made me think this might be my first chance to see the aurora. It was beautiful. Took some great pics. Central Indiana.
Geez!! That's crazy stuff. I pray for the farmer that lost some of his crop. Ya know our government can make it rain, we've learned that!! 🤦♀️ this world... gone nuts! Sending much love to y'all, to your neighbors and it's always good to know the calvary comes running in trouble. Just like here in TN and NC, it was the PEOPLE that came in to rescue.. flippin Uncle Sam was on vacation 🤦♀️
Heard tel of a corn chopper fire and the truck driver was smart enough to drive round and round to nock corn bown and save crop but lost the chopper. Good job, Larson farms.
Kudo’s to all you guys helping the firefighting. Back about those salfords I am still not convinced about running anything with a disk all the time for tillage. My worry is the developing hard pan a disk blade creates.
It takes a village to farm these days. I've been on the side of fighting the fires and my hats off to them. They don't teach fighting corn field fires in any course that I know of and maybe they should like they do for corn entrapment.
It's so terribly dry all over the upper Midwest. There have been many of these fires. There was just a large one in Nebraska. I live in Blue Earth, Minnesota, and we have had several fires in our area. The most recent was from a tractor catching on fire. From dry, corn leaves and other things, building up inside of the hood. And sadly, once these fires get going in these dry fields, it's a bad bad deal, it takes many fire departments and farmers bringing their equipment and digging up the field in front of the fires to get it out. The only good thing it shows is the cooperation and the brotherhood amongst farmers in the rural areas. Thank you to Larson, farms and everybody else that helped put the fire out in their area. Some areas did receive rain on the 24th of October. But in our area around Blue Earth, we haven't had any rain since early August.
I grew up on farms in the 60's and 70's in Iowa, and remember seeing fall cornfields on fire with flames licking 20 feet in the air and having to drive down a highway with both sides of the highway on fire with a corn inferno. We had to drive for miles to get clear of the danger.
After seeing this I now understand why the farmers I follow in Australia all have water carts or fire trucks of their own sitting in the paddock while they are harvesting. Glad everyone was safe because that could have been a lot worse than it was.

those big tractors cutting fire lines- thats huge help
The brotherhood comes together to save a neighbor. What a beautiful thing to do, glad you all saved the day!
As an Australian farmer and captain of our local fire brigade, I dread these days during harvest. You all handled this perfectly, don't get bullied around a fire ground and don't send someone in where you wouldn't go yourself. Well done Larson team. 👍
Farmers help farmers in need. You drop whatever your doing and help out. God bless you guys for helping
Neighbors helping neighbors communities helping communities That’s how America 🇺🇸 was built
Great video Chet and everyone at Larson Farms 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As someone who has seen an out of control field fire first hand - it's unexplainable.

Soybean fires are bad too. Flames up fast from pretty much nothing. Good looking out for the neighbors!
Awesome video!! Glad all is safe and nobody got hurt 🙏🙏
Thank the lord you had the tillage equipment hooked up and going that saved time to plus the combines where close to.
Crop fires very common in Australia
We harvest in the summer 😮
Great work 😊
Good to hear no one is hurt. The machinery being unharmed is a massive bonus for the owner.
