They are not planting anything. It is some sort of tillage equipment. You can see where soil has been worked. And working at night is not unusual... for farmers or militants.

Have you seen the complete video? With the full beginning? These guys are were clearly combatants, and planting something under that tractor. Also seen are weapons. The edit on this link skips all that (I believe a liberal news station cut off the real beginning).

You should always try to get as close to the original source material before commenting. Otherwise you get sandbagged by editing done by others. Here is a previous Free Republic Apache Video thread, read message number 30. Then you can see what the 'short' version of the video looks like compared to the entire 'long' ABC version of the video. You should note that depending on the ideological source, the short version is used to play up the 'harmless' farmers out for some late night tilling and smokes.

They were doing neither.
