- July 18, 2022. A fire started while the farmers were harvesting this years wheat crop. There were no injuries or loss of farm equipment. Crop loss is unknown.
Location: Crystal Road and Spencer Rd, Crystal Township, Montcalm County, Michigan - Авто та транспорт
I remember seeing one of these kinds of fires in Illinois a few years back, and every farmer in the county started to show up with their equipment to harvest the filed. It was like a well tuned orchestra, watching all of them working together very efficiently!

It is not uncommon for farmers to have wheat field fires. They were lucky with this one
Thank you guys for feeding the world👍👌👏🙏🌍
Hopefully everyone is safe. 🙏😇👏👌

Yes, they give us food for free? 😕
Shitter mentality, but hey you keep wasting your life away little gamer, you'd amount to nothing compared to the farmers..@@panorama123q8123
@@panorama123q8123 not for free they cant do that bc they would runout of money for fuel and repairs
growing up in western ks, where it's dry and farming is 90% of the way of life - I learned farmers are some of the most genius and hard working. You can see it in this video - they keep harvesting to save the crop, they start disking to slow the fire. amazing
EXACTLY 😎👍🇺🇸

In this situation you haven't any choice!
You save that you can to save!
You save tour money, your work since 6 Mouthe and your survive...
In south and western France it's the same...last week de had 107,6°F in Ouest and 118°F in south, all the farmers was in work to...
I hauled a load to the co-op, when I drove back to the field to pick up another load, a dot cop followed me, he wasn't to smart , he drives out in to the field and his catalytic converter caught the wheat field on fire.
The farmer I was hauling for invented new cuss words spilling out of his mouth at the officer.
Lol.
Thank God for the guy with the disk! Great job on staying ahead of it and getting the field cleared before it burned.
Why thank God for that , your God could have prevented the fire in the first place. Or maybe he doesn't want to , maybe your God likes it when we suffer. That's why your God allows innocent children to suffer
Thank the Farmer and Farm hand for the Quick thinking and Acting, Nothing to do with a higher power the Evidence is in front of us it was the Farmers
@@quantumconciousscorner2911 Was about to say the same thing
Somethime the fire catch on even if he cuts its path, sadly..
@@TURE1215 Burns across the disced area slower and cooler. Easier to stop it.
Wind and dry makes it harder to stop... so it's a contest.
Multi-passes on the same path can turn all the burnable stuff under, but that takes time.
I've put smaller straw fire out just by dragging a loader bucket over it. The earlier you get it the easier it should be to stop it.
This dry stuff can light from light concentration from a broken glass bottle some dumbass tossed out their car window.
Nice work saving some of the crop and buildings.
Im not sure they had anything to collect that into, or spare time to attach a collector behind the combines. This looks like a total loss for the most part. They were using the combines because its tge quickest way to destroy flammable, dry vegetation (followed behind by whatever kind of tractor behind them to mat down the hay)
Fratelli rischiare la propria vita per darci il pane, fratelli ho molto rispetto. Dio vi benedica e vi mantenga in salute! Grazie
A very efficiently coordinated action by the farmer! Congratulations for being able to save part of the harvest
Goodness, this is heartbreaking… I cannot imagine the stress of disking and harvesting during a fire. Hopefully, everyone is okay.
You get all that good potash.

Everyone is okay. Only lost some wheat :) my family owns the field.

Вот они герои, спасают урожай👍👍👍
Куда смотрел пожарный трактор? Почему дали огню уйти так далеко при небольшом ветре? А края что заранее не задисковал? А пожарную полосу почему не отбил? Распиздяи одним словом!
How painful to see this happen. I hope the farmer has many more abundant fields to harvest.
they lost almost nothing on this small field by the looks of it. So it's not a big deal for them xD. And yes, these grain farms have a loooot of land, this was just a small piece.
they also have farmers insurance
When i start the combine there is always my Caterpillar with a disc harrow ready to go in action. Nothing fight a stubble fire better than a disc!!! Greetings from Italy
Great job to the farmers and first responders. From the looks of it didn't look like much crop was lost in this. The good thing that comes out of it is next crop that's planted will benefit greatly from the burn out. Over the years have always noticed a big different in growth and yeild where a burnout was present the year prior.
I have been very curious about the agronomic effects of burning. Is the benefit you have noticed pretty short lived or do you see increased yields for multiple years?
@@tradcon3096 typically more during first year and begins to drop the second year without man made applied products. But it depends on so many variables, weather, rain, snow pack, soil and ground conditions. The sandy the soils not such a good benefit. But the more darker heavy type soils the burn out benefits last a But longer. Also depends on the type of crop cycle as well.
That isn't necessarily true. It depends on the needs of the crops and the ecosystem. If too much of the biome is damaged fungi etc that are harmful to crops can get a better hold. Meanwhile what is harmful and what isn't depends on the crops. Indeed the very pH levels after a burn off are toxic to some plants and the biome they need. It's not entirely true that plants get nutrients from the soil, rather they largely get them from the microorganisms that they have coevolved with. Which are even more susceptible to pH. If fire was so wonderful more people would use it but we don't for good reason .
It will be a good comparison next year due half field is burned and half is not.
Look up biochar. It has made a huge difference in my garden
DAMN GOOD JOB GUYS you all had this licked !!!! Its a TEAM EFFORT and to see them COMBINES running like the wind was amazing in front of the fire !!!! had to be a couple MILLION in EQUIPMENT out there working as a TEAM
God bless those who produce our food and those who support agriculture. So many perils to get past in order to make a profit and be around next spring ❤️
If only no till to reduce GLYPHOSATE and fake nitrogen.
Hello how are you
That has to be heart wrenching
Ma bravo ljudi koja je to borba sa vatrom da se zaštiti hrana, veliki naklon vrijedni narode 👍!
That is heartbreaking to see. Farmers are some of my all time favourite people.
Your video tells the story. Thank God for the excellent job of all those involved in fighting this fire.
Nobody fights fire here. some farmers still practice this technique of burning straw on the land, although it is forbidden, to sterilize the land and prepare it for the new crop.
well I do. And I'm here to tell you that you don't have a clue what your talking about DUDE.
Hello how are you

Very sorry about the loss of the crop. Many prayers of thanks and hope for America's farmers.
they never lost any crop
A smart and effective way of fighting fire.
Hats off to the first responders and the workers that knew what to do and when to do it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It looked like the first responders were the farmers themselves. The fire crew got there basically after all was said and done. The bill will still have to be paid even though they did not really do anything. And if you do not pay the bill they will threaten to take away your land.
@@carmichaelmoritz8662 Crop insurance takes care of the bill. Fire departments can't take land. Who tells you things like this?
@@ducewags not everyone can afford crop insurance. The fire department is hired by the rural municipality , the rural municipality are the same people that charge the farmers land tax. If the farmer does not pay the fire department they look at the bill as part of your land tax.
@@carmichaelmoritz8662 I know that. Try and tell the other person the same thing, that thinks the FD can take land.
@@ducewags what happens if I'm a poor struggling farmer just so making ends meet and I just cannot pay that extra bill they added on. What happens if I never called the fire department and someone else called them even though I had the fire under control myself. Why should I have to pay for services I never asked for. And if I do not pay they can put a lien on the land or they can bring in a sheriff and have me removed forcefully. You would be surprised what they can do if they decide to actually do it
Thanks for the hard work to feed us.

Simple fix a few water wagons behind tractor with a spraying pump on outside of fire spaying fire . I actually put out farmers field with a landscape box dragging fire back into burned field while fire department sit on side of the road . Stop direction of fire movement you stop the fire
Looks like a wind change helped some. That disk can be the make or break of a fire. Nice to have it there. Interesting video.
Прекрасно организовано спасение урожая. Особый респект механизатору который проводил дискование на грани возможного.

I'm so sorry for your loss!😭
A least it was a backing fire, no matter how hard the wind blows it will only spread about 4 chains per hour.
I really feel sorry for these hard working farmers. However, they did a great job. They saved much of the wheat 👍 in these days, wheat has become very precious.
Они сами подожгли. Это горит солома. Чтобы легче перепахать землю.

Очень жаль урожай, а ребята молодцы, отличная командная работа.
0:11 Судя по следам потери там не большие, и 10га не будет
Нифига не отличная. Дежурной пожарки не было, дежурного трактора с культиватором или плугами тоже не было.
Great job 👍
chances are, it’s the equipment that started the fire, while harvesting. the winds are blowing towards the already harvested material, so the heel of the fire is more than likely in the middle of the field. a real wheat field fire puts up a mushroom cloud when the energy is released from the actual grains
I remember an old Giles pre war cartoon of a yard full of pre threshed ricks. 2 old blokes leaning on the gate, & one says "If this lot catch fire it will be the worst harvest I ever had!"
DONE ON PURPOSE? see one of the comments is this......................................Great job to the farmers and first responders. From the looks of it didn't look like much crop was lost in this. *The good thing that comes out of it is next crop that's planted will benefit greatly from the burn out.

Farmers don’t get credit for anything.... they deserve far more than what they are getting .(They are smart)
Much respect for all farmers from all over the world.... Greetings from Poland
Some really great teamwork. Somebody was looking out for you I think.
Was that a Great Plains turbo til?
I've got a 1600gal sprayer nurse truck fitted with fire hose spray end also but I show up with tractor disc first
That turned out well, saved the standing wheat and got good potash on the ground for next year.
Great job!
Looks like a controlled burn getting rid of wheat straw to me . It’s common to see fields being burned “ AFTER HARVEST “ . Makes it easier to plant next crop . If I’m right then no grain was lost .
It sucks that the farmers had to work that hard to save their wheat but, on the bright side, the burnt wheat stalks will really help the land.
Hello how are you
Nice work getting it contained as much as possible!
Another relaxing day at the homestead 🔥🏡🔥
Here's yet another example of farmer's and farm workers being badasses. 💪
Спасайте ребятки урожай , спасайте
Gotta wonder if this was intentional; in sync with the insane amount of fires at food processing plants.
I’m glad they caught the harvesters out there so they could save some of the crop🎉🎉
That's a great and nice video, love it😄🇲🇨
good job with disc stopping the spread to the grain. .. the sad is how much straw was lost. .. . keep up the good work guys
the straw was chopped. it couldn't have been used unless a guy tried to rake it maybe
Being from North India and from a farmer family I know how farmers feel during March and April when whether is dry and winds are too rapid. A elctrical spark damage acres of wheat crop.
ua-cam.com/users/shortsQh11EdBPwAw?feature=share
Great Video, it looks like you managed the fire well! modern disc cultivators are idea for stopping a blaze
Нельзя ли запустить в поле опрыскиватель с водой и тем самым решить эту проблему распространения огня?
Это понты. Ветер против сбора, эсли поджог, то будет в сторону техники. А если искра от комбайна произошла, то где сгоревшая техника?!
А на жаре опрыскиватель не поможет. Это как капля на горячей сковороде. Только перевернуть пласт.
Been there... gutwrenching memory! Thrilling how that plow is slinging dirt.
That's what you get when you have a big tractor pulling a small plow. It can pull that plow basically in high gear.
@@carmichaelmoritz8662 True, normally that match would be a waste of power but in this case it delivers just what was needed. We always hook our oldest tractor, the one that we can afford to lose to the big offset disk we keep nearby
who started the fire and how
@@africagreatswoo6232 it was probably a training session. It was calm that day , two roads on each side and mostly green grass and bush on the other sides. looked like there was no way for it to spread except that one small piece that looked combustible
A huge majority of what is burning/burnt has already been harvested as you can see from the progress of the field. This farmer lost very little if any standing crop.
I am a truck driver and you see people say we are heroes , We are not Heroes , Farmers are the Heroes..
We had a big fire last year as well, 80 ha, or close to 200 acres of wheat and some canola burned to ashes all in 3 fields that were next to each other, very big financial disconfort, thankfully, no one was hurt, but we also do not know the cause, other than a harvester that went by just a few seconds before the harvest started catching fire, as our farm cameras caught it in the distance, this year was indeed weird in this aspect, we had a bunch of small fires afterwards, none on our fields, and easily put down by tillage and firefighters.
The fire caught wingspan extremely fast, cherry on the cake, the wind started blowing god knows how, exactly when the fire started, a mildly strong wind ~20-30km/h, i was with a steiger, that had a Topdown cultivator behind it, and could not do much as it kept clogging into the unharvested wheat, which also happened to be very productive and did not help with the residue, my father and some of our workers were with 2 other tractors, one with a plough but was only a 3 furrow, and a water tank that they ran through the fire in order to keep the fire from extending in all directions, so they tried to cover one part, i was trying to go ahead the fire, but i'm not joking i think it was expanding at about 10km/h, because i was trying so hard to overcome it's speed with the tractor, and i could barely make past it.
Our salvation did not even come from our tractors, nor the firefighters that came to pick ashes as it was a 20 min or more drive from their base to the fire (if they had the tank full), but from the neighbours tractors in the area that saw the big fire from miles away and came as fast as they could with their ploughs behind, leaving their fields to create big waves of dirt to stop the fire.
If not for them i don't think the fire would've stopped before nothing could be done, and our fields are so close from each other that it would have just extended in all directions fueled by the wind, probably going for 1000s of Acres with nothing to do but just stare or hope for the wind to stop... all this in just an hour or 2
Prayers for all involved..glad no one got hurt.
Hello how are you
Great work hope the loss was minimal.
Those guys aren't cutting firebreak, they're harvesting!
There was 1 then 2 tractors with disc harrows out there cutting fire break between the fire and standing wheat to save it while combine continued to take off wheat.
That guy making the break was hauling ass (and rightly so). I assume that's faster than you would typically turn the soil? Or am I wrong?
It’s actually my aunt. It’s a power disc and is made to go faster than normal.
So heartbreaking. My prayers are with them.
God bless our farmers getting the crop in before the fire & expert tractor work to contain. Murica !
Well! it looks like the field is ready for double cropping now.
Bravo et félicitations !
What was the tillage tool that was used?
Looks like a high speed vertical tillage tool.
Disc harrow/ Shallow cultivator, one by John Deere it's pretty huge lol
Outstanding work,and thank you farmers for what you do! Any idea the cause?
Could be anything when it's extremely dry. I saw fires emerge from just little spark that was caused by metal combine header sliding on the surface of rock on the ground.
@@Stasiek_Zabojca oh dear that’s a deadly thing. In now guess these combines should be accompanied by a standby fire engine especially when harvesting.

It will be interesting to see how this field produces in the next 2 years after this charring. Will you till this field and seed or just no till and seed it from here?
Which country is this
It’s obviously the usa
how often do fires happen? id never thought of it before but those ready to harvest fields are just a whole bunch of tightly packed dry and ready to burn plant matter. thank god everyone was ok, and it looked like a good part of the area that did burn had already been harvested
Nice quick response from the firefighters
God Bless great neighbors and volunteer fire fighters. I hope the farm can survive the loss. It never occurred tome this could happen at all. I hope no one was hurt.

I live N DAK seen this a lot in the 70dys muffler on trucks & cat-converts on pick ups . That when grain cart started getting used.
This is when you find out who your friends and neighbors are. They show up with equipment to grab as much crop as possible and build a fire break. Hope there was crop insurance!
Хорошо что успели убрать, повезло что с зерном несгорело.
Congratulations to the operators.
Nice clean burn. That'll be a good field to conduct a yield comparison in.
No famers, No food. ❤️
Looks like they have it under control 👍
Location?
I guess it saves burning the stubble later . 🙂
Old mate in the Johnny did a great job with those disc’s , they must have been close by .
Nothing quite like a stubble fire to get the blood pumping .
Когда горит поле, это всегда трагедия!!!
Burning of wheat stubble has been a residue management tool in farming for years disks and plows been used to cut firebreaks for years.
The burned over areas do not help much with nutrients for following crop though.
Except that's not what this was.

I'm really sorry to see this. Good hustle getting those fire lines cut while harvesting what you could. I sure hope you recovered ok.
As heart braking as this is in the loss. That fire will help the next crop not much of a silver lining but.
