So much has changed since I started watching this channel over the years and all are a great inspiration and improvement. Also the new family with Nave and Edward. They are a blessing.
Cole, congratulations on the recent two most important events in your life. As a 60 year old man I rarely find the opportunity to say this about someone in your generation but I find you to be a very impressive young man. Keep it going!
Sounds like Ron did a whole lot of work on your farms, I can hardly wait to see the end results. I love seeing Elie. You guys need your own gator for the farm.
Cole love your videos , there so interesting. Congratulations to Nave and you , your son is precious. He looks just like you . With a lot of Naves beauty.
Congratulations!!! Your son is adorable. As a woman I want to tell you that you did great dad! You were there and participating and encouraging! Not only do you have a precious little boy but that little boy has been blessed with a great family. Love to all of you from Texas.

Wonderful Video Today!, going through withdrawals though ;).... It is amazing to see how much you are able to focus on all of your Farms now that you all have gotten so much better efficiency in the whole operation. I can't wait as it seems to get better with each new video. So proud of all of you how you work together for the common goal in your operation and all the years past of the hard work is paying dividends now. I know there still are a lot of things to get corrected and or finished, but you can see the changes with every new journey you bring us along on. Saw DC & Momma Cornstars video and Baby Cornstar is growing so fast and seems to be such a joy to all of You. As always Thank You for bringing us along on your Journeys and God Bless All of you!
What an incredible feeling that must be to finally have that dirt contour work this [ ] close to done. You've been taking about wanting to do this since this channel began. I'm right there with you on this one. HUGE improvement in functionality AND in appearance! 👌 Way to go Ron! 👏
You can add the circuit for the middle lights in the shop and use a remote/wireless switch. That would give you the third switch without having to re-work the switch wire run etc. I am no electrician though, but others who are may have thoughts on this.
You can't just have 1 child. If you make 2 or 3 or more they play with each other and leave you time to get some work done too. Nevermind they will be extra farm hands in no time!
Cole, another great video. I just miss your more regular videos. I'm sure being a new father has much to to with that! Congratulations on that! We just miss you and the Cole Star family adventures?
Cole I really enjoy your Channel, it brings back memories when I lived in a small town Kewanee, Illinois not far from Davenport, Iowa. The farm landscape was to me so beautiful I am now 72 living in Florida for the past 50 years and your videos bring back beautiful memories of my uncles farm and our family taking Sunday drives to see neighboring farms. Thank you for making this grandma so happy ❤❤❤❤
Good vid Pops ! ...A friendly reminder not to forget about farm and equipment safety...things happen when complacency rolls in... your value has gone up recently- Best to all of you-
@@redwingprincess There are a ton of viewers on here that aren't on Nave's channel, but... it's his channel. I just find it odd that he doesn't even mention the 2 most important events of his life to the folks that help put 10s of 1000s of $$$ in his pocket.
@@hwaynes Read his reason for creating and posting videos on this channel. He wanted to show what is involved in farming. It isn't intended to be an autobiography.
@@Beruthiel45 Yet he has videos of mountain climbing, fishing, scaring Nave with a snake, and riding motorcycles. And being excited enough to announce their wedding and the birth of their child wouldn't be an autobiography... and viewers would be tickled to death to hear about it. but whatever...
Cole your excitement over the lights is so great, but remember you are not perfect and things happen. You have more to do...put up shelves, heating system, wash station, air, etc, so little by little, yes!!! Your son is so CUTE, smiles and baby talk...well love little guy from the whole family. thanks for bringing up along. Hope you have a baby carrier to put him on your chest, then you both can mow the lawn......
I hope you’re not getting sick! Was never so glad to be forced to getting my tonsils out at 22. Best thing ever! We have so far gone from ice, snow, to brownout dust storms to several tiny tiny little rains to full sun 93 degrees today and not even a breeze! Same for tomorrow then rain through Monday! Where did Spring go????? 😳
I think he could run all of the low wattage lights in the entire building on one single 15 amp circuit. The 2 amp rating is the fixture rating, which is not used for circuit load calculations. a 15 amp circuit breaker is rated to 1440 watts continuous
Wow the heated shop looks amazing. The farm overall looks so fantastic. It’s come a long ways.❤ 🎉 Cole you are going to be a great father. Thank your dad, he’s an amazing role model.
What a wonderful video was having withdrawals. Congratulations to you and nav on the baby. Did i spy a green and yellow tractor and planter 😊😊😊😊 keep the videos coming. Cole
It can't still be cold up there?! Man its upper 80's and it will cook your head if you're not in the shade here. We avoid that big orange toaster whenever possible! Hope the new Family is doing well Cole, congratulations! ( South Florida Representing! Woop Woop! )
Kinda funny that when u cut corners on wiring, you laugh about it. But when a bin builder cuts corners, you start a lawsuit. I think both are hilarious.
Small box and a 3-phase contactor with 120 volt coil will control three light circuits in that box while remotely controlling the relay with 14 gauge wire because that's already there. Once which can then control one two or three circuits with one switch. If you only need two, they also sell 2 pole contactors.
Cole make sure you clean up that fuse box papa we don’t need any electrical accidents A big congratulations on you and Nave new addition what a little cutie he will be driving tractors before you know it 🚜
Contactor is your best choice. 120 volt coil controlled by your door switches and as many piles as lighting circuits. Common in larger buildings actually. Plus your 14ga switch wire will be just fine, as the "control" circuit will be less than an amp.
That' pretty complicated. I think he could run all of the low wattage lights in the entire building on one single 15 amp circuit. The 2 amp rating is the fixture rating, which is not used for circuit load calculations.
Not a transportation engineer, more of a water engineer, but I would assume your 3:1 slope question is some engineer is taking some form of risk and has liability insurance for if someone crashes into that one spot since the 2 design points (elevation of the fields) and their design slope for the ditch make it so that it has to be a little more sketchy. But if you were to do the same ditch work with the slopes that they are trying to prevent you from getting sued if you did the same thing. Bit of an edge case for sure
He should give them all constant power for the motion sensor. And then add 3 switches that can bypass the motion sensors. That can turn on the lights and keep them on. With the 3 switches he can have 3 breakers. Fixing the overload issue.
Wow, you three are really whipping the fields into shape. It will be very interesting to see how much more yield you get from this work in the next harvest. Best wishes to the CornStar families 😁👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In the future I’d look around and/or online to get good low amp draw LEDS. Did a 40x60 garage with around 3 times the light needed. Used one 20 amp circuit with 3 switch legs off it.
Your shop lights may be and excellent example of how when you don't have enough expertise you need to either 1) Hire someone who does to do it or 2) At least get them to advise you on what is required. It's taken me several projects that ended up costing more in time and money to learn expertise is worth the price. You've got some drive and nerve, I'll give you that. I do love your videos and the GREAT FAMILY VALUES. Thanks for great RUclips.
Cole will be fine doing it himself. I like your point 2) however. He is using low wattage fixtures, they could all go on one breaker. The 2 amp is just the fixture rating and not used for load calculation.
@@JP-jq1qx But the 2-amp fixture rating is what an insurance company could use to claim that the wiring was substandard, out of code, and thus give them an excuse to deny any claim. He could probably win that, but he would waste much time & effort fighting it. Better to just go with that rating and re-do some wiring now.
Hi Cole, i'm a French viewer and I am very interested when you talked about wiring your lights at the beginning, I am a industrial mechanic and programmer for PLCs, if you are interested I could help you make the electrical schematics and plans for your installation. Perhaps it could help speed up a troubleshoot, it could happen and would be useful.
You can’t possibly be 25 already! I’m sure it was only yesterday your intro said 22 year old farmer. So much has happened for the better since then. The farm looks amazing now, a new family has arrived, new bins (wish I could say they are amazing, I’m so sorry for you that they aren’t.) new technology on the farm, and tyres, so many tyres lol
Get it sorted out before a wire overheats and sets fire and burns your building and contents to the ground. I wish people would not mess with electricity if they don't know what they are doing.
Glad you caught the constant load derating and the wire, both together could have certainly lead to an electrical fire. Even if you didnt hire an electrician to put them in I'm sure you could throw one a couple hundred dollars to answer your questions or help you come up with a plan for how to execute your contactor plan!
I think he could run all of the low wattage lights in the entire building on one single 15 amp circuit. The 2 amp rating is the fixture rating, which is not used for circuit load calculations. A 15 amp breaker is rated to 1440 watt continuous.
Actually, an electrical fire was unlikely. Electrical wire is overdesigned, so that a 15amp (#14) wire can about 70-75% overload, so that could probably carry up to 25 amps for a while. And high up in that building, wire could get pretty hot in an Iowa summer, further decreasing the current carrying capacity. So it's much safer to just replace it with proper-sized wire. Especially given the possible loss if a fire ever started there, filled with flammable oil & such, and lots of expensive tools and farm equipment. The extra cost of larger wire doesn't compare at all.
You need to double check what amperage the switch is rated for and also you have to derate the wire depending on how far the lights are from the breaker box. You might need to run 10 awg just to get the required amperage at the very end.
just for future stuff. Yes You can use a contactor and all that stuff but in a shop or any commercial building just use 12 gauge wire!. no where in a shop should there be 14 gauge. Not even in an office. Congrats On your Kiddo.
Might want to have some blocks pushed up on the end of the terraces, the reason they went to the edge of the field was they needed the capacity (depth to hold runoff) I have seen this happen before and you will probably have water spilling over to the terraces below.

Hello all from Siesta Key Florida
Ron is a big asset!!!
He's most likely going to be blamed for the Million Dollar Bin Site stuff since he did the prep work, you know how this will turn out.
Congrats to your growing familia ....❤ the progress on the land! 👶🌽🌽⭐️⭐️
Loving those super fast Edgar Wright cuts in the edit. Great job Cole.
Congratulations on the baby! Soak it up while you can brother it goes by so fast!
So true, so damn true.

It was so funny to watch you get your automatic lights to come on. School of hard knocks can be rough.
All the electrical presentation was spot on. IMO you have plenty of light in there, but adding another circuit is the best solution.
I think he could run all of the low wattage lights in the entire building on one single 15 amp circuit. The 2 amp rating is the fixture rating, which is not used for circuit load calculations. a 15 amp circuit breaker is rated to 1440 watts continuous
Hey Look, it's the NEW Daddy Cornstar! Congratulations.
I learned in my years in the shipyard, there's never enough time to do a job right but, plenty of time to do it over.
Your new look shop is sweet. I'm all excited.
Awesome video as always Cole. I think Danny Cornstar needs a new name to Grandpa Cornstar and Cole is new Daddy Cornstar
If you want to stop the rutting from stormwater outlets use dumped rock or a "level spreader" to help sheet flow the water runoff.
Such a sweet phrase, "Mile long rows"!
Crazy crop prep for all that open country. Good job fellers. 🇺🇸😁👍🌽🌻🐓🇺🇸🥇😎🇺🇸

About to send national guard out looken for the CCS, glad ur back.
Interesting to see the topography when you drove around. 👍
Wonderful farmer. 😊
Please elaborate.
To see all that open land without the debris and other junk is very, very satisfying, I'm sure.
I like how is the little things that cole happy as God

awesome video guys. thank you

Congrats on the baby brotha!
Wow, lot of work done in the fields!! 💖💖
The problem you'll find with those sensor lights is you can be working under the vehicle and the lights will switch off.
True. There has to be motion for them to stay on.
I have a night light back up
They probably have a master switch that can turn it on
My office lights are like that.

Edward needs a name...Corn Nugget😁 Stay blessed Cornstar family!!
It’s going to be as bright as the sun in that shop!
You could wire the lights to 3 seperate din relays and then use a single switch to activate the relays. That's clean and easy.
Great find
Your a smart Lad you should try home assistant and make your shed a smart shed mate 😊
Hi Cole would you consider instead of planting grass to mow, to plant natural prairie ?
Might want to have some blocks pushed up on the end of the terraces, the reason they went to the edge of the field was they needed the capacity (depth to hold runoff) I have seen this happen before and you will probably have water spilling over to the terraces below.
I can't believe how much progress you have made! I am looking forward to seeing how the house is going.
Good 😊 day to you Corn family.
I wish nothing but great things for the cornstar family ya,ll rock .from texas
