Fire crews were called to a farm after a silo containing 50 tonnes of grain caught light.
Three fire engines were called to the scene at Chase Farm in Botley Hill Road, Little Burstead, at about 12.40pm yesterday.
Crews used thermal imaging cameras to target the centre of the blaze inside the silo and spent five-and-a-half hours removing the grain and dousing it down.
The cause of the fire is thought to be accidental.
