No, these tractors did not create the Sahara dust!

For some people, any atmospheric (weather) phenomenon is fundamentally artificial. Stripes in the sky? Chemtrails! No streaks in the sky? Invisible chemtrails! Clouds? Hiding chemtrails! And the Sahara dust that turned so many cars and the sky red in March was also artificially produced because... yeah, I have no idea.
And of course these people also know how the dust cloud was created: with tractors! But this is nonsense, the video that was distributed shows something completely different.

The video

The video is between 18 and 30 seconds long depending on the version (the longer versions have a loop) and shows a series of tractors that seemingly pointlessly stir up sand, which is supposed to cause the Sahara dust to enter the atmosphere and be carried to us.

The origin of the video

These are by no means tractors that produced the Sahara dust, but rather harvesters in Brazil, around 9,000 kilometers away from the Sahara:

From minute 0:45 you can see the distributed video. What is also striking is that the popular video was converted into a portrait format so that you can no longer see the green grass on the right edge, giving the impression that the tractors are in a desert, not in a field:

Such harvesting machines often generate so much dust, as can HERE in a YouTube video showing a harvesting machine in Australia.

Conclusion

Sahara dust is a natural phenomenon that occurs again and again, but it requires a little more than a few tractors driving on a field, which is not even the Sahara desert in Africa, but a field 9,000 kilometers away Brazil.
