@@SIX_LTR I was polluted by a Connecticut accent and was mocked by my family lovingly that I said “Aunt” and they said “Ant”. It’s rough being the white sheep of the family!
You are in a business that grows things, plants and you! You are learning and teaching, which you’ll be doing the rest of your life! It will be teaching your father & brother, yourself & your kids, then the next generation. Be a good teacher!
The amount of time and energy you put into striving to get better yields for your families farm is so commendable. I know the whole crew works hard, but sometimes the ag science of the plants is harder than the maintenance. And I don't say that lightly because I know Coop works his tail off behind the scenes more than we see. All the stress of planting, compaction, erosion, being a new dad etc is nothing to how stressed grandma Judy made me trying to change that battery lol. God bless all the corn star fam!
Knowledge is what is learned through hard work and percervance and paying attention to your elders folly or "mistakes" in which every yield can be better. As your grandfather taught your dad and he counts on you. I appreciate your channel for this. May your crop be bountiful and your family healthy. God bless everyone of us.
Never ceases to amaze me just how much work is involved in running a farm. My hats off to you all for taking the time to explain how you do what you do. Just goes to show that your family is living the American dream. Self sufficiency and hard work do pay off in the long run. Here's hoping that it all goes well for your family this year. 👍🌾🌽
@@ScootsMcPoot they seem to be handling it rather well. Besides Cole keeps track of the financial end of the business and he ain't no dummy. Think positive 👍
Don't judge yourself so hard , you know a lot about what you're doing with plenty of time to figure out better solutions as you go . Things you can pass along to your family. 💯
Since you were talking about business when Edward chimed in with his two cents, I think anything you spend on him this year you can now right off as a business expense, under consulting fees, right ? 😏😉
The farm is looking so good Cole your hard work certainly shines through, it's something about getting your morning started and you drive up to a nice neat shop or a trashed up place all overgrown, it just sets the mood for the day at least in my experience 😆
You sound tired so don’t forget to take care of yourself (and your family). Thank you for including us into your world. It must make you more busy than needed so know that we are grateful for what you do and all you give us. God bless you and all the Cornstar families for a plentiful season.
Cole, place the blower so that the blower end is on the ground and the blower motor is up next to you. Then press down on the battery as if you were installing it, while pressing down on it actuate the battery release, then the battery will release. I had to figure an easier way to get the battery off of my blower too. Hope this helps.
I think you’ll learn a lot in your next 60 years, 🤣😂. You have such a great sense of humor, thanks for your videos Cole. All the best to Nave and Edward❤
Loved when Edward said hello! Glad things are moving along…I appreciate how you explain things …we can understand a bit of how and why you do what you do. The example of corn on the worship floor was a great way to explain it!😊
I am so happy that your son has appeared here on the channel congratulations for being a father Cole The Cornstar and please tell your wife Lee happy Mother's Day
Grandma's dinner sounded AWESOME! I wonder what Edward's Channel will be called, "Edward, modern Farm Boy..... Edward the Cornstar (too easy)..... etc..."
Love hearing Edward giving his opinion! Can't wait to see his first tractor ride! He'll be driving by 7 years old. Love seeing Miss Ellie supervising! Thank you Cornstar Family for letting us watch Babee Cornstar and your crops grow. Exciting times coming up. Thanking God for you all.
Watching this while our 2yo is at daycare, both me and my baby daddy was so confused when hearing Edward in the background thinking it was our kid crying, while fully knowing she was at daycare 🙈😂😂 almost had to pause the video to check she wasn't home, but then realized the cries came from the video 😂❤️
Speaking as the only Android user in the family (GREEN BUBBLES RULE). I feel your pain with the Deere stuff not playing well with Ag Leader stuff. Something to think about as you ponder diving into the green world as your farm seems set up to run on Ag Leader.
I was thinking. My ggg grandparents started farming in Michigan in 1835. Some started in 1870. One thing they all had in common was horses and livestock. They didn't pay property taxes. Yet, all were very successful. All worked hard. This appears in the 1919 "Farm Journal Illustrated Rural Directory Of Genesee County, Michigan" by Bricker, and showed my g grandfather was farming 80 acres. The family had 6 horses and 7 cows. He had built his barn in 1905. What is the difference between today's huge multi-million dollar farmer and those from over 100 years ago?
@@colorado1088 I think you're onto one good point. My grandfather farmed near his father and also owned an Allis Chalmers tractor dealership. He would take trades on horses for tractors. He had $675,000.00 in a bank account in 1936. He was no fan of FDR.
Wonderful success story. I wonder how much of that wealth is still left in the family. It doesn't usually last that long...particularly with in laws. Regards PhD.
Hey Cole you are welcome to come visit here in Uruguay South America in Summertime since its winter there would be much nicer we also do some Farming !!!!
This is just a stupid question. I know you guys and gals are amazing at what you do and you have everything down to an exact science. I was just wondering about the tire pressure of the two inside tires on Coopers tractor. By any chance was the tire pressure higher on the inside. I know y’all take amazing care of your equipment , better than most people take care of their on bodies. Just wondering if a higher tire pressure may be causing a slight lift in the center rows. Again just asking a dumb question. I hope you all have an awesome season and let’s pray for no big storms this year.
What’s the reason you guys plant beans before you plant corn? Our family here in SE Indiana always planted corn first sense it takes longer to mature. Keep up the hard work. Love the videos.
Should I agree with your out - tro because I really think you are doing a great job Cole... I know what you are trying to say but don't put yourself down too much ok ?
Planting is almost done, yippie. Hi Eddie and Ellie. I enjoyed watching the video. I always learn something about farming and all the challenges that pop up. Keep up the good work crew
Cole: When you are ready to embark on the next phase of your 6M$$$ plan, make sure that you have a professional mechanical engineer sign off on the design specs and put a clause in your contract that states that all construction will be to engineered specs for safety and suitability and capacity. It would help if you were more proactive yourself in making sure that things like bins and related systems are built as specified, so you can avoid problems with things like connections not being made under the bin floor for the bin sweep, and that you have all the parts for things like the bin blowers that were missing parts and didn't work as planned. The same goes for the gear that connects the bins like catwalks, stairways, handrailings, etc. A bin isn't complete until it works as engineered, holds the capacity you planned, and can move your commodity at the speed and capacity you engineered into the plans. And yes, you have to plan for contingencies like cold/wet/windy weather. I am not an engineer by any means, but I have a feeling that the concrete for the overhead bin wasn't engineered for the total weight of the bin full of corn or soybeans in your case, and/or that the concrete wasn't poured/pumped and vibrated to get rid of any air bubbles. These things can cause the cracking you are seeing in the base of the overhead bin. I understand your utter frustration about the way things turned out, but you have to realize that there are a ton of pesky details to attend to when spending a million dollars on a project. I wish you and your growing family better days ahead, and I hope you prevail in your lawsuit against the contractor.
> put a clause in your contract > It would help if you were more proactive yourself A violation of the contract and systems not being built to specification is exactly *why* there is a lawsuit. > A bin isn't complete until it works as engineered Once again, that's why there is a lawsuit. > the concrete for the overhead bin wasn't engineered for the total weight of the bin Once again, that's why there is a lawsuit. > you have to realize that there are a ton of pesky details to attend to when spending a million dollars on a project See above.
And never...never...never, pay for the complete job up front, without knowing that it will be satisfactorally/competently completed. The ONLY way to ensure such...is to piece/pay for preselected...agreed upon...progression. This can help if you are dealing with unknown/sketchy entities...just sayin'...
Curious. With all the repairs you do to equipment are there any breakdowns that just aren’t worth doing? And how is that determined? Maybe engine block or what is the cut off for figuring out it’s time to put a unit in the scrap yard?
I love it when your dad says warsh. It reminds me of my family.
I'm a firm believer those that say wash are saying it wrong. I grew up saying warsh😂

Grandma Judy is adorable. Cherish every minute that you have with her.
We got Baby Cornstar ,Daddy Cornstar and Grand Daddy Cornstar on one video! It's a great day!
I love hearing Edwards comments! He has definite opinions already.
Yeah he definitely is NOT a fan of that White planter 😂😂😂
I am super excited to see how Coopers friends seed corn does! Please keep us posted!! Thanks for the videos!!!

It is amazing how many factors can change the outcome of your yield.
All of science, all of everything is built on the shoulders of those who went before. Each of us helps to build the next step up.

It is amazing to see the progress that has been made towards the cleanup of your farm. It’s really looking sharp.

Sounds like Baby Cornstar is doing well. Awesome video Cole.
Pictures of Edward at the end of all videos. He is a beautiful baby.
Your farm has improved by leaps and bounds ! Your a very smart and hard working man! Mucho ❤ tu Familia!

Farm looks good after clean up for sure! Big difference without the water ways and old fence.
Really good job on putting the data and references together. This is all true stuff.
Me learning how to plant my four rows of corn from Cole 😅😊
@Lynn Geek 😂
@Lynn Geek best answer ever lol. Did I mention im planting in my five foot wide raised gardend lol.
Really enjoy the new style of your videos, a lot nicer to follow.
Disfruto viendo tus videos (I enjoy watching your videos )
Gracias 😁
Edward is already a Rockstar
I’ve been enlightened! I didn’t realize just how exact your exact farming science is! More impressed than ever! Thank You!
Look out Cole Edward is coming for your job. This was very educational for me because I never did much planting in my life so I learned a lot.
Not everyone could do this, Cole --- Much Respect!! And Thanks for growing our food!
I don't believe anything he grows is human food. Animal feed and methanol.
Hi mr Edward!!! So nice to hear from you!!!
Congrats to you and Nave, as well as your parents on your wedding and baby. It's always good to see the next generation coming along

Hans Niemand. I’m sure the old gal took them out to eat. She’s not into cooking
Howdy Edward, we hear you telling dad how to grow corn. ❤
Great video
I totally agree Edward, your family is awesome!
Thank you!
You’re brilliant, just a listen to you boggles my mind I could never do what you do and by the way, Edward is adorable
Next time I’ll mow Grandma’s yard so I can get the steak dinner!
Ken King. I’m sure she would take you out for a nice meal. She’s not into cooking.
I can hear Baby Edward offering his opinion in the voice overs. ❤

amazing how many people go into the store and grab some corn and dont think a second about what it took to get from seed to shelf.
Coolest thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips, the picture you put up of B&M crop consulting showing the uniformity of crop emergence is my aunt!
I heard babycorn in the background! Brought a huge smile to my face. ❤ I think you're doing an amazing job, Cole. You all are. 🥰

Yay baby Cornstar!! So glad he made his debut!
Be very interesting to seed some corn planted with the old white vs the new and the JD keep track and see the differences. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Edward is a smart kid
Have you ever tried heavy harrows for the crust? It’s how they work ground in western Canada
Boundaries can be fixed to work with Deere monitors using Agleader SMS.
Congrats on littlest constar.
Very nice video Cole. Me gusta mucho tus videos. I've seen lots of those planters this past few weeks. 😁 🌽 🚜
Another interesting video. Thank you for sharing with us
Edward, hello back to you. Grandma Judy too, what a video today.
Great content, Edward's definitely got his share to say. About to start sweetcorn this weekend. Spring is flying by!!
4:20 Hey DC, just put the disc baldes in the dishwasher while momma cornstar is not at home. They look about the same size as a plate.😂😂
Cool always cool stuff always thanks 😎

Congratulations on getting married and Neve having a baby. Kudos to you both.
I'm still interested in the different ways you can deal with trash from previous harvest. Love the videos bro!
Best youtube channel ever.!!!!!!!!!!
Cole, why are you going so slow with that planter? Is it not a high speed planter?
Baby Cornstar First words on the show. Thanks Cole
Love hearing Edward adding to your voice-over.
Still wondering why you are going so slow with a high speed planter
Loved hearing Edward. If you listen carefully I think he is trying to tell you how to fix the planter.
One never stops learning, it's just the subject that changes. :D
Great content Cole 👍👍
What I want to know is how much do yall spend on auto insurance with all the vehicles that yall run.
I don’t know on exactly auto but our whole policy is $23,000/year.
Awe that baby in the background while doing voiceovers 🤣🤣. Welcome to parenthood
Could you do a stand difference in the 16 row older planter and the newer ones in soybeans?

What is it about tilling that you don't like 🤔?
Review the video. He explained!!
@@paulcopeland9035 no thanks. Once is enough if it's too had to give an answer.
I almost wounder if a fall till wouldn't hurt I'd question how it would effect runoff as well. Ot would reduce grouping debris
