    You… know how many weird, extremely toxic substances are in a modern car, right? Im pretty sure that’s not something you’d want going into the soil of a field that’s used for livestock feed, let alone human-oriented cereals or vegetables.

      Lol, you know how many weird, extremely toxic substances farmers put on their fields? I’m pretty sure letting the rich YouTuber down the road joyride through your harvested field and then set a car on fire (that likely doesn’t have much gas/fluids in it) isn’t that big of a deal, unfortunately. Even if the farmer were worried about it, how much does it cost to take the top 1’ off and put fresh soil down? Can’t be more than a few grand in rural Amishville where this is.

      Whistling Diesel has like 6m subscribers, this video has almost 4m views in 1 day. If you watch some of his videos he’s definitely known to at least some of his neighbors, he caught one guy stealing a bunch of stuff lol. See the old guy that shows up in the truck and bullshits with them? That’s probably the mayor or something lol, 0% chance this isn’t staged/arranged/pre-approved/whatever.

      It’s possible the crop was corn for ethanol, in which case this is the circle of life
