Farmers are great people, they know hardship and will all pull together to help others going through tough times.
As a non-native-english-speaker, I must say this accent is fantastic
Bless these men. They took action without question even when their own properties were suffering.
Couldn't understand a word they said, but I have great respect for these people.
Same pinch
Play it at .75 speed
Its shocking how farmers can come together to help out every1 who travels on these roads but yet they have to protest for a better price for their cattle at factories
too many take the farmers forgranted
The easiest solution is to not sell the cattle to the factories. Yeah the farmer may not get paid but the factory would likely cave once they run out of product to sell.
@@The_JEB nope the meat packers lobby the Gov to bring in cattle from Argentina and other places so you can't make a livin off Cattle alone in the US
@@boydboys9084 lobbying is just annother word for legal corruption
@@The_JEB you have to get rid of cows sometimes you just can’t milk them any more
7 years ago we had massive floods in the area. Staff and customers were stranded in a 100K+ sq ft grocery store. Those people were rescued by a farmer. You would be pretty surprised at just how many people can fit on a combine. I hope those farmers were sick of all of the coffee, doughnuts, sandwiches and thank you's being brought to them.
As a farmer in the U.S.A I'm happy to see the farmer community mentality crosses into other countries. We help each other when in need.
It's a European / people of European descent thing for sure. We have a special knack for this kind of thing.
WoW! But it’s a real tonic to see the Farmers and Contractors leading the way forwards by working together.
Committee’s and Councils are really just ‘talking shops’ and tax gatherers.
takes the farmers and contractors ;)
Well done to all the people involved in this. I'm watching this 3 years after the event. Farmers giving up their time to help.👍
Still recovering from the effects of this storm, three years on!
That’s our holm and stock Alister is talking about @ 5:50.
Thankful for all those that helped that night to save them.
Unfortunately we lost some ewes and a ram in the holm opposite.
A night I’ll never forget!
Not a nice thing to have to deal with at all
Fair play to all the farmers and contractors. That is just amazing what they do for the public
Country people , ranchers , farmers, just put their head down and do it! It’s the way of life!
I'm from Australia and in 2002 we got a whole month's of rainfall in 2 hours. I made a cup of tea with it.
How much Liters?
In 2014 we had 170 liters in 4 hours. (Germany)
@@laurenzhilbert9741 about 250 millilitres. Total.
@@kickinthegob F
@@kickinthegob last year we had in spring only 40 mililiters in 3 months. Yeah that’s Germany
Bless all farmers.THE WORLD CANNOT DO WITHOUT THEM.
Great to see everyone working together for the good of the community.
You are all amazing, Farming is a way of life and always there to help.
Now, i cant speak for a few minutes. Not due to the event, but i may start talking with an irish accent.
Great to see everyone working together in a time of need
when we had 12" of snow here all the farmers in the region helped out clearing roads and parking places of hospitals & elderly care homes, because government snow plows were busy clearing the highways and main roads :)
Some curse the farmer when things are good but when things go bad the farmers will always help
hats off to the farmers
no body is complaining farmers blocking the bridge are they combine or muck spreader call the police.
This is community and care! Love the care shown here!
Fair play to the farmers, well done guys x
yes yes
WOWZERS! A whole months worth of rain in 8 hours, I can't even imagine how devastating that must be to deal with!
Lovely to see everyone working together
agree
Best thing about this video. The second names tell me that both sides of the NÍ community are working together on this. Class. We've come a long way 👍🏽
Well said John
@@johnphelan5936 great name John 😎
Had forgotten about this...... such a tragic time for many people up north that time...... farmers/contractors have great ability for teamwork!!! Great insight Farmflix!!! Looks like August not shaping up great for some people especially after Storm Ellen.....😢🙏🏻
would have been tough but great to see the locals pulling together
Nature can hit hard when you least expect it. Fair play to the Agri men, the dont have to sit down and discuss it, they get stuck in. Well done to all involved.
farmers helping people they didn't know and people they did, it didn't matter as they needed help. I remember that from my days on the farm. (Mississippi gulf coast, USA)
Great job to the farmers a big thank you.
This is why you don’t complain about farmers, Farmers were affected the worst out of this and still came out to help
Just shows how strong our farming communities really are when things go wrong
Thank heaven for farmers.
Good job on the vid.
The farmers are always there to help! 👍
As always the farmers step up to the plate:)
Aye
Well done to all involved, the way it should be. We can all learn a lesson here.... good on you lads!!
Excellent video of a rubbish reality of nature, the story was told & filmed in a harrowing way which was stunning! 👌
not an easy thing to have to go through
God bless the community spirit.. people need to realise farmers make the world tick over.
Thanks guys this was a great video show what Mother Nature can do. But also showing community and how strong that is
hats off to the farmers
seeing these pictures of the flood reminds me of what happened here in Iowa back in 2008 . We had major flooding that wiped out roods,cities and lots of land .
Flooding is never nice
We did this a week ago here in Australia in the desert u wouldn’t expect flooding the road is gone for good it’s washed away past replacing needs a hole new base and stuff
Any footage from the area now to see the recovery of the land ? great video by the way
How can you thumbs down this?! Was it not tragic enough??
I know we're entitled to our own opinions but some people baffle me!
Fantastic video of the worlds weather getting more wilder and more unpredictable! But most of all, communities coming together!
would not have been pleasant for those who had to suffer it but yes it was great to see folk coming together and helping each other
farmers are the best and very hard working for us others to have Food and much more :D
6:41 looks like a typical Irish public bathroom to me
At least it got a good wash from the flood
Fair play to all involved.
Good video John I remember when it happened. It was terrifying.
not good , hopefully dont see the likes of it again
I'm an old man now, but remember when they passed a bill to stop farmers from giving milk and butter to their neighbors and themselves. I watched as some so-called farm regulators dumping good butter and milk in the ditch so they could not benefit from their farm work. Sometimes the government can be so stupid and greedy cause they are getting paid to make these laws. If it was up to me the farmers should not have to pay taxes at all. They are the people that try to make a living by feeding us.
what a fantastic bunch of people!!
Yet here in United States us as farmers don’t matter n no one respects us on the road! Much respect to all farmers n all countries
Nathan Ping I respect you
You're 100% correct. I was once of those people. However the more I became exposed to the life of a farmer on youtube I have gained a whole new respect for you all. I hope there's a widespread movement where the populations are educated on farming and their families.
Farming and skilled trades are now condemned industries here in the US. It's a damn shame but all the powers that be, seem to be committed to destroying the fabric that this country was built on. Why? Who the fuck knows. It's gonna be a sad day when they come to the realization that those industries are the backbone of the nation and the people within those industries are some of the best in the world.
@@t-yoonit literally the exact same thing here in New Zealand
People at their best!
BIG WORK YOU LADS
Farmer = masters at doing everything that "professional's" are over paid to do. Here in the states, there's still farming communities that come together to help each other. Unfortunately, it's farmers that are always under appreciated. Cheers :)
Here in the Netherlands to
Have to support our farmers
Well, over in germany these "overpaid" professionals don't get anything, as over here what the farmers did there Firefighters and the THW (Technisches Hilfswerk - Technical Relief Agency) would do, and 97% of the Firefighters and almost 100% of the THW are volunteers, who don't get paid a cent. And i am pretty sure that that is also true for the US. At least i can't immagine that small districts have enough funds to pay for a professional firebrigade. But yeah, the Farmers helping is really appreciated!
My family owned a Livestock Auction here in North Alabama in the US from before I was born until I was about 24 years old and now that I’m in my 30’s I sure wish we had never sold it. Anyway the Stockyards do bring farmers of the community together and it’s very important that farmers have that income from sales on time. I hate seeing that happen to this Market but it’s nice seeing that farmers so far away will help each other and the community out like our farmers do here.
That must be some flood
We got all the toys to get er done💪
Can’t say u didn’t give it 100percent to try nice to see neighbors/community coming together when there’s a emergency
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLES
Great video.
great to see everyone pulling together
I big fan of your the new program
Really could use some of that rain in Iowa right about now.
You could have some of ours. We are in the midst of the remnants of TS Sally as it moves off. Center of it went by about 10 miles North of us. Been raining off and on now for three days and it will be raining again tomorrow. In areas where the surface level is 6'ASL, the water currently is at 7.4'ASL. We sit on a ridge at 10' ASL so we are safe. But the ground is soaked.
it calls for dredging ALL OUR RIVERS
its called money share prices exceed spending on clearing
this video post on my Birthday
i really like seeing this farmers helping city folks i just want too thank them personaly i wanted to do a fram myself for years i make enough for myself and if i have extra i would donate all extra too homeless shealters and it that was more than enough i send it too local pig farmers for slop
As bad as it was, when I was a kid I would have really enjoyed seeing all the equipment being put to work.
you guys are giant goats, stay goated lads!
flash floods in august, thats kinda rare if you ask me
Reminds me of the wild fires on the west coast. People coming together to help.
I can see that road from my house roof but what year was this i didnt hear anything bout ti
So i wonder if they will fix the drainage and lack of levy problems.
Pretty amazing
I remember that episode well, and that time of 2017
hopefully no more floods
Nice car in ur picture mr e30
When did all this happen?
These Farmers have achieved more in week than Engeland in hunderd years
This is so European .... We are special people that deserve a place in the world. Unfortunately, we are criminalized when all we want is to help our neighbors/fellow men. We open our borders to let people flood in hoping they find a better life at the cost of our own standard of living. God bless you and our people... We would do the same thing in the rural U.S. where I live... I'm mostly descended from the U.K., especially Scotland.
For some reason I never heard about this incident. But hats off for a major effort. And yes I will keep consuming both milk and hamburgers. Support your farmers, they are making your food. Don´t get pissed off the day a big combine or a slurry wagon slows traffic down. At the end of the day it benefits yourself.
Good video lad
Thanks Nathan
Fair play to them putting others above of themselves
Brian plays jimmy in the fall series on Netflix
I lived in a farming area in my youth and know how farmers help each other. I was in a dairying area and if a farmer was too sick to milk his cows neighbours would help out, If someone became bogged, neighbours would help out because that is the way that farmers think, always ready to think. I was a little worried about the lad commentating, he seemed to have the need to hold onto certain parts of his body while speaking. I wonder if he was frightened that they might wash away???
I'm glad Germany has the federal agency for technical relief.
It does exactly that. Move loads of water, support dams, generate electricity for downed powerlines, generate drinking water, make the roads drivable again, etc.
They even help farmers. Saving cattle is something they are supposed to do, once all humans are saved.
Great Effort !!!!!
Did the 9 Pumps have an effective result ??
seems lik it the water was down below road level.
I was clearing lots of water too I done it for people for free i done it all with a John Deere 7710 and an Abbey tank
Yo John boy 👍 😎😎 any updates on Clyde's mighty merlo ? ❤️
before long ;)
@@farmflix sweet 😁
Farmers are always with u... when you are in big trouble...🙏🙏
Another Example :- In India now, it's not a farmer's protest only...But also for those who are going to bear the burden of inflation...🙏🙏
Sad to see all that
wouldn't be nice to have to deal with
a what pump?
people helping people nice
scary looking back at tat but I'm afraid it will be more common just look at storm we had last few days in August
can just hope it doesn't get as bad
If never under stood why the Americans put subtitles on some Australian videos
Now I understand why
Some strong accents here
Great job boys, from an Aussie farmer
I talk to a variety of ppl with almost an infinant accents i enjoy listening to it
When is clydes silage video
not too long
Where was it
In august!!??
yup
what language do rhey speak?
It’s sickening to see that happen
not pleasant
trust the farmers to put their needs last and clean up the public aeras before they focus on there own property
what did he say....?
I hope you at least put a bill in for the fuel.!
they get grants enough already
Wow so sad
so just who was responsible for the design of that last road ..no culvert or bridge ...sue them
What language do they speak?
very cool but couldn't understand anything they said
most time its drains geting cog 90% of time
