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

Hats off to you and the other farmers for helping each other, great community spirit. You reaction and emotions show you care about others.

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.

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!

That was emotional just watching it. A fantastic effort by your farming community. Thank you to you and Liz for taking the time to show all that.

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.

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.

We live locally, and my brother was there fighting the fire. I’m glad you’re all safe, but what a tragedy.. a great joint effort between you all

Oh George and Liz, gutted to see this. The community pulling together so good. My heart goes out to all involved.

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.

I was caught in a crop fire 40 years ago, still gives me nightmares about how incredibly fast it can change direction and come down on you 😐

Absolutely one of the best videos I've ever seen on YT. Heartbreaking.

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

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.

Every farmers worst nightmare, a brilliant vlog George showing exactly how things can go wrong so quickly. Well done to you all for helping out 👏

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

That was very emotional and hard hitting. Fairplay to you George and all the other farmers who helped out. The farming community are the best.

Omg George. My heart goes out to your commitment to save others with your dad

No words George, just wow! Heart wrenching for everyone involved.

Big respect to the farmers aswell as your team George pulling together to help other farmers and the fire service

Well done you and the rest of the team and the Fire Brigade fighting the fires hard . Lucky nobody was injured . Great raw video from you and Liz 👍👍

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 who helped. I'm sorry for your loss George and Liz. This' really the worst nightmare for farmers. This is really heart breaking💔😢

This was bloody brilliant watching all different farmers coming together very emotional to watch welldone to fire brigade and to George Liz and the rest of the family absolutely brilliant work guys well done .

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.

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.

One of the best videos you have made George..well done couldn't have been easy.. 👏👏👏

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.

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.

Watching it from the drone is truelly heart braking!! Massive respect to everybody for helping out! And sorry for the losses 🙏🏻

Total Respect for you all thank God no one was hurt

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

This has to be one of the scariest videos of the year! Well done to all concerned. Top viewing George.👏👏👏

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 🙏

That was intense!!! It’s good to see people working together to fight the fire, well done to all of you

Thanks for sharing your video during such a intense situation . Glad everyone safe .

Sorry George for your loss all the effort work you put in to growing the crops

What a terrible thing to happen! Hopefully no one got hurt. Great work George and crew!!!

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.

That was so scary. Great to see you all helping each other and hats off to the emergency services working in those conditions.

Farmers always pull together at times like this and help we're ever they can good on you George and crew

Frightening footage that George! Heroic effort from all involved in tackling it.

Big respect to you guys farming community sticking together helping out and to the fire crews battling to contain this fire

Bloody scarey stuff George. I hope that everybody went home safe. Hats off to some amazing fire fighters.

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.

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!!!! 👍

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

Great video George, glad everyone is safe, drone footage at the was great showing the damage

Well done George. Great to see everyone helping each other.

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

Gosh George - that was intense. Pleased no-one was hurt and great that you were able to help out.

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 .

Stay safe mate. Thoughts and prayers for everyone in the line of that fire 🙏🏻

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.

sorry to hear about all the loss holy s*** hope you're all safe and well

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

Intence vid george huge respect for you, Richard and all the firefighters glad everyone is ok

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.

Bloody hell George, glad you and everyone else is ok , a valiant effort, sorry for your losses. All the best Matt.

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.

Very scary moment for you all - great work by you and your colleagues and the Fire Fighters - the extent of the damage is frightening!

Sorry for your loss George,huge respect for all the firefighters

You guys are heroes out there what an utterly scary situation to be in and documenting it on top of everything ultimate respect!!! Seeing everyone straight to the rescue without hesitation even the TW out there put a tear in my eye. Rip Valtra never forget and the brave firefighters not even fazed by the heat those guys are legends.

Thank you George you farmers are doing a great work in this weather hope the guys ok

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.

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

Everyone did an amazing job George. You should be proud, well done mate. Amazing job

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. 👏👏👏👏👏

Big respect to everyone out there from the firefighters to the tractor boys, you did good George.

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

Sorry to see this George. Well done to all that helped control it and put it out.

Well done George, take care. Devastating news feel for all the farmers involved.

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!

Well done. It's frightening how fast the fire generates itself oncè it gets a grip. I am so thankful you are all safe.

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

Glad to see you getting involved. Awesome effort.

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.

Incredible effort from you guys got every right to be emotional George. Great work and respect to the firefighters too. Never doubt a farmers courage I say .

That was hard to watch George, unbelievable what damage fires like that can do. Thank God everyone was OK. Truly frightening.

Whoa that drone footage really puts it in perspective. That was a big fire. Glad its out and hopefully you get some rain

That was crazy George all involved deserve maximum respect..

Top respect to you and everyone George great work by all involved

Powerful stuff. Great to see the teamwork and community spirit in times of need though.

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 :)

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
