  1. I think I'd be doing that at night! Glory to Ukraine from New Zealand

  2. the problem is mines… I hope they are safe

  3. You American farmers should try this, dodging artillery shells with the combine. Ya'll are spoiled! 🤣

  4. He looked super scared 😳 😂

  5. Yes , Ukraine keeps shelling my field and then they blame it on the Russians. I have to go visit my mom at the nursing home Slash Ukraine military base. She said she needs a cheese sandwich and a bullet proof vest.

  6. God be with the farmers, this farmer. Hopefully he is able to do what he needs to, in harvesting the food crops, and the food gets to where it needs to.

  7. Dutch Farmers Brave Frontline Robbery By the WEF

  8. I'm cheering for Russia, shout out to my boy Putin

  9. Peace and healing to strong Ukraine 💯 Fold.

  10. Any chance y'all can export some of that rugged individualism in return for our weapons? That might actually swing me in favor of y'all continuing your senseless war.

  11. He will harvest and then the Russian’s will take it or burn it.

  12. I know. The world is a simulation(The Matrix). The ancient Pyramids: 1) they are way to big and heavy for people to make, all the scientists giving ‘good’ reasons/explanation for how they did it are working for the illuminati or the devil. 2) the golden triangle thats the top of the pyramid. Even heavier wayyy heavier and its on the top. Its the Matrix, and the Illuminati ita not just an organization, its the creators of the simulation we live in. How do you think the hay millions, billions of dollars to give away to their workers. The print them trough the simulation. The Illuminati are the “people” that want to keep everybody on earth/the simulation brain washed. Also why they have destroyed our pineal gland. I think when you unlock it, you might feel the real real world or visions or an connection to “god” maybe. But what if god is real but hear me out. Trough out history or some few thousand years ago its books saying god gave my village food or water ect. But thats seems impossible right? Or, is ‘god’ really the guy behind the matrix witch just codes in food ect. Thats actually logical and makes sense. Don’t you think by the year 2300 that humans or robots could make a server or program where people could get connected to?! Wake up people! I am just 14 now, but i swear on idk what that i WILL EXPOSE THE ILLUMINATI IN THE FUTURE. I WILL BECOME SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THEIR ‘HELP’. AND DESTROY THEM…

  13. was kind of wishing they wouldn't be able to harvest. crank up the prices here at home.

  14. Brave man. But the farmers are the backbone of the world, keeping us all alive. Slava Ukraini!

  15. Why? We give them Billions every day. Guy should be eating caviar instead of working

  16. ❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine emprutt.ONLINE Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenny ich 4 wählen würde

  17. "I might get blown up within these fields but hey ; if it gets the people eating and living then its all good" The Ukrainian farmer maybe

  18. There we see a true war hero!
