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

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

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.

Oh Dear God what a tragedy. An entire growing season's work, down the drain. I see a lot of people stopped by to help. My heart & prayers goes out to them

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.

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

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

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!
