Farmer uses tractor to move parked car

Footage caught on cell phone camera

At one time or another, everyone has experienced a driver parking their vehicle in a less than ideal way or location; forcing you to honk, curse, question the legitimacy of the driver’s license and think of ways to get around the parked vehicle.

If you’re a farmer, you move it yourself.

Video from England shows a farmer picking up a red Mazda6 with his tractor and front-end loader attachment after the car blocked a road.

“They parked in this chap’s drive,” the farmer tells the women who captured the ordeal on a cell phone. “He asked us to move the car, nobody claimed it.”

Curious, the women ask where the car is going to be placed.

“We’re going to put it up on the main road,” he tells them. “It’s the police’s problem then.”

Concerned for the safety of others, the women ask what’ll happen if the car rolls off the front of the tractor, to which the farmer replies that it’s equipped with wide plates and the car is well balanced.

And what message was made perfectly clear as a result of this video?

“Never p**s a farmer off!” one of the women says towards the end of the clip.

The video contains strong language.

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
