Well done, Cole. I sat through the whole ad without skipping ahead. Hope this brings a good revenue stream to your channel. My family really enjoys watching yours.
That was a smooth promo some channels seem clunky/blah when plugging a promo
I gotta say, I haven't enjoyed a commercial so much since the last super bowl I watched, which was about 10 years ago... Very good job!
im always fascinated about the numbers and behind the scenes of the farm. thats how i found you, the video on how much money the farm makes. still watch it from time to time. keep up the great work man
Cole where is the john deere skid steer did you buy it
I just hope the everyone watching realizes that everything that they see now was possible because of you, Cole. Without you starting to clean up none of this would be happening. Good job young man.
I agree with you Cole (at min 18:08). How could one be bored on a farm? A few of my friends used to say they were bored back when I was a teenager ...... I told them to come over, I had lots to keep us busy with caring for my animals and land. Those comments of "I'm bored", led me to believe that predominantly, boring people get bored!
I really enjoyed the closing video location. It reminded me of back when I was a teenager I would climb up to the top of the tallest silo on the farm and watch the sunset. Sometimes I just enjoyed the view. Sometimes I imagined that I was a bird looking down on the world. Sometimes I would pray because I felt that I was a little bit closer to God.
Definitely interested in continuing to hear more about the bookwork/decision making, etc behind the farm. It's something other farm channels don't touch on in the detail you do, and really illustrates that farming is so much more than just planting fields and harvesting crops.
Cole, I love when you “clean up” the yard. I don’t know why- except it just looks better when you’re done!!
The country definitely isn’t boring. It’s what made me who I am, along with giving me an appreciation for the work it takes to live in the country. Those are some wise words from a young man.
I just posted that I realized as a teenager involved with my small farm, listening to a few friends saying they were bored / had no plans, that predominantly boring people get bored!
As an octogenarian, I am interested in everything you do, including the well presented commercial. Your family are great citizens of the United States of America and role models for all who are fortunate to be watching a 23 year old farmer getting some stuff done.
I love learning all things on how the farm works even all the RUclips work. It’s all fascinating and I’m sure you put a lot more work into the RUclips side than some of us realize. I appreciate all that hard work. Great videos. :)
Same! My husband asks me "how do you know that, you are not a farmer" I'm like, "because I watch Cole the cornstar that's how."
I know some people are like “ Cole I can’t believe you are doing advertisements now”. But if you make them that entertaining, that should shut them up. Either way your videos are great. Keep it up.
👍🏻
His videos are longer do screw it right 😂
I don't need crap I don't need showing up at my doorstep every month.
💲💰💸
@@KameraShy Was the commercial so good that it forced you to sign up for something you don't want? LOL
Cole I think you are doing a good job on your farm and your videos! I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and I have missed it since we left it back in 1960. I think incorporating the daily runnings of the farm, the decision making and so on is a good idea. Yes I am a retired landscaper about to turn 72 in a few months and watch every video.
Wow, the Cornstar family works hard, glad that daddy Cornstar got some time off and relaxed. Loving the longer video.
there dad needs a break with all the work he does fell sorry for him that he doesn't have a couple ofsons to help him
Hey Cole can you do like some normal stuff like grocery shopping or visiting restaurants and malls of places of interest or activities where you live... I live in the Caribbean never been to your state before would love to see what life is like outside of the farm. Plus low-key will be funny to see you out of your element maybe a funky haircut? lol Love from Trinidad & Tobago x
There is something very satisfying about watching you cut down all of that tall grass & weeds & see it all cleaned up.
There are only a few channels where I feel the integrated ad spots are actually entertaining enough to watch.
Welcome to the list, it was hilarious.
I'd like to hear anything you want to say about your operation. The more we know, the more we understand about what it takes to produce our food, and what farmers go through to provide it to us.
Cole why don't you surprise your Dad and have the new doors for the shed ordered and installed while DC and your Mom are on vacation? I know that it would make him very happy.
I've always liked how you do your videos, from explaining numbers to growing your yard or riding motorcycle with Nava.
Everything you have done helps non farming viewers understand what it takes to put that box of cereal on ther table or make anything they eat be as healthy as you can. The advertising, never noticed you didn't till you mentioned it. So used to seeing them on any other I watch I guess .
Keep being Cole the corn Star as you always have been ☝🇺🇲👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes please incorporate some of the behind the scenes business and what others can expect in general terms. Learning so much, love how the family works together. Best of luck on all the projects, content is fun, engaging, and heartfelt.
As a retired carpenter, I enjoy the construction videos. Building up bin is certainly a specialty. Looking forward to video..kudos to Nava for always willing to help. Hope DC and MC had a wonderful holiday. As always your videos a treasure.
I barely realized that was even an ad. It was good. Flowed well with the video. The bin site is coming along.
Yeah, the way Cole and Nave did the advertisement part felt just like when Summer shows us what she got in her packages, or from shopping. It was really entertaining. Your sponsor should bump up your compensation.
Nice to see the cement and porch work going along. You put a lot of effort into doing the videos and should be rewarded. Digging a grave is a powerfully blessed experience and the family will be rewarded for that too. Thank you God bless.
The little sidewalk behind your house was the walkway to the outhouse. I was raised on a farm that had a working outhouse and that was the same small concrete walk to it. All of our neighbors had them too with the little sidewalks.
It’s going to be so nice when the last of the old metal and equipment is gone! That will truly be a job well done. It will be amazing to finally get the porch, the outside of the house all done so you can get the inside going again. It’s going to all be so beautiful when you finish. The best part is all the memories that house holds plus the new ones to be made.
Cole - I know that your channel is about corn and farming, but I enjoy the house restoration most of all! The porch is looking great. I would like to see more of the restoration work, especially inside.
You and your family are great to watch. It reminds me of my childhood, we weren’t farmers, just surrounded by farmers. All great families. Include the details and slower stuff, it’s all a part of being a Cornstar.
Y’all killed the bestpoke part. Was actually entertaining. Great job guys
I had the video running in the background for a minute while I checked something and missed where he mentioned it was sponsored. I honestly just thought for a short little bit that they were just opening cool boxes until he mentions trying bespoke and I realized it was an ad haha! I'm not even mad, N and Cole are hilarious
Always impressed with the care you guys take in the grave digging. 👌
I would definitely love to hear the finer details of things. Keep up the great work!
I enjoy the behind the scenes content that you all produce whether it's discussing new purchases, farm finances, how construction costs will save your operation money, snowboarding or Nave getting lost, all that jazz. The day to day work around the farm is why I came here, but you all, all of you Cornstars, go a long way to make really good content.
Here in Australia we put a 6 inch by inch or so high mound of sand around the edge of the concrete slab and then flood it with water for a few days to a week to stop dry to fast and stop the slab micro cracking.
Be very keen to hear and see, more of your decision making process, the reasons you came to the outcome and what variables are involved.
Cheers Matt
Matt I just wrote a comment and then scrolled down and read yours. Wet cured concrete for 2 weeks like you suggested will be about twice as strong as not, and that is one benefit. The other benefit is to stop it dry out so fast in the hot weather which will result in the top surface having a lot of fine cracking as well as being more prone to chipping. Even running a sprinkler on it would have been better than nothing.
@@aussiefarmer6012 What's you humidity Rate? He's at 96% so that may have something to do with why they aren't wet burlap tarping it. I'm in Missouri just below Cole and they'll wet burlap concrete if it's too dry out.
@@thetasigma590 the humidity may help with the micro cracking but I doubt it will make it as strong as wet curing. Our humidy is between 80 and 90 percent and it will micro crack if not watered.
The nitty gritty? Go for it sonny. People need to see the hard stuff. Knowing you guys you'll make it interesting
My favorite part of any video….I got to see Anna Cornstar! Really enjoy all of your content, including your accounting explanations and how your business runs. I would watch and not be bored!
You need to spray the pads down with water to slow the curing time down. Especially with it as hot as it is. This also helps prevents cracking.
Great video!!!!!
Its really starting to move. The concrete is impressive but those bins are going to be the crowning glory of the whole project.
Your grandfather would be very happy with your plans for the farm, he said make it your own and that is what you are doing and your doing it in style!
Thank you for the view from above! It puts things into perspective! Love your videos!
I really enjoy learning about all the ins and outs of how you run your farm. So more content like that sounds good to me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and what it's like to be a farmer.
Country is not boring. It seems you always have something to do. I love the feeling you get when a job is well done. You are an awesome country man. 🤗❤️
I really like Cole how the channel is evolving. I am a early follower of your. So like how you did the add for revenue.
Enjoyed the longer video. Would love to see some of the thought process of the inner working of farm visit.
Cole you seem to better then most on how much to reveal and keep private.
Thank you,
Russell in Tucson AZ
Cole, I enjoy learning about all that you do. I like when you do information content. Learning about farming, seed chemicals, equipment, marketing I also liked the mowing and trimming. Your Kentucky Blue grass is coming along. Even when you goto the grave yard is interesting. I've been with you from the first house clean video. Watching you regain the property is a JOY. Its amazing what all is gone. What all you have done. Showing us more about how the farm works, RUclips, sponsors and dissions made would be interesting. I like when you slow down and explain and teach.Thank you for your video. Your a BLESSING.
One of the first in-video ads that I didn't skip over. Make them entertaining and people will watch!
The country isn't boring; as I kid, I spent summers at my grandparents' home out in the country - certainly not on a large farm but I had a friend whose dad owned a small dairy farm of 40 acres and many is the time we got into cow pie fights, fished for cray fish (yucky!) in the stream, and spent hours playing around in the barn, including swinging on the mandatory rope. Our imaginations provided all the tools and equipment we needed to play, we would spend our days outdoors. Such a far cry from what it is like today (even before the pandemic sent us inside in the cities) for kids.
Do not be afraid of change… I enjoy hearing your explanations and your interactions, so for at least me… You talking is not boring. Do not fear the monologue… Do not fear the time lapse…
There is nothing boring about anything you guys do. I'm continually impressed and fascinated by every aspect of what you and your family do (which is strange because I have lived in hard core cities all my life).
Country is calming, serene and helps cleanse the soul.
I agree... My grandfather is from a very small town and when I was last there I was calm, sad ( my grandpa Max passed) but calm.
@@Crazyexgirlfriendlol Sorry for your loss🥲
I enjoy that you're neat and keep working toward keeping it up. A clean area helps me feel more relaxed. I havw to admit I enjoy visuals more than talking much of the time. I even enjoy when its slower paced vs hopping between stories, but you're doing a great job and keeping our attention!
Cole your acts are beyond your age, congratulations on the bin progress
Cole it should be getting some water poured on it to keep the slab cooled off. So it doesn't explode
I always enjoy the behind the scenes portions where you talk about or examine the backbone work of the farms and decision making processes.
Love how your doing it now.
That's why i started watching.
You keep being you
Since we are part of the farm . Can i come to the family get together?
Just make sure you dont get burned out. You have a lot on your plate.
I feel part of the farm. Aren't we part of the family? :) I love hearing all of it, I have not found anything that has not been interesting yet and I have watched from the start. Also, I wanted to let you know how proud we are of Nave, she is getting in and trying everything, doing such an amazing job. Enjoy the day and drink lots of water.
I did'nt really want to like Nave when they first brought her on ( I had Cole in mind for my grandaughter )but dang it , I have come to luv that little gal !
@@DavidBergman1776 Yeah I know...bahaha
I come from a family of farmers in the UK. My knowledge of farming is based in the 1960s and 70s, so to see how you do it now and all that is involved in the business decisions etc is not only interesting for me but gives people who have no knowledge or experience a great insight into where their food comes from and you're a bunch of nice people too
I really enjoy watching the videos where y’all are working on your house and yard. I still think you might find a “treasure” in the grove.
I loved the satisfied look on your face as you surveyed all that was accomplished today. And the view from the roof is beautiful. You make life an adventure Cole.
if I ever needed a grave dug, I would want a family like you to do it, very respectful.
I love your videos, family time on the farm. Keep up the good work.
AWESOME video, Cole! I LOVE watching the bin set-up progressing! It's so exciting! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! I cannot WAIT to see it all come together!
It would make sense for you and Daddy Cornstar to have computer generasted maps of each of the cemetaries that you service. That way you can keep track of where people are buried and where they can be interred. It would make your job easier.
If you spray the tops of those pads down a couple times a day you'll get an internal cure and have less surface cracking on the concrete
I wonder if they used a hot weather concrete mix design, and yes, William is right, keeping the concrete moist will result in a higher psi after your 28 day break😊
I’m not a farmer but have lived around farm ground and farmers my whole life and I think all the technical stuff is interesting. I was amazed in another video by you rattling off how much each thing cost per acre to plant and how doing this now will do this in the future. Keep it up and just do what feels right to you, Thanks
I wanna see as much of the farm as possible. Whatever content you put out, I will watch
The country isn't boring, only city slickers say that. Country life is awe inspiring & the true testament of a family.
Really enjoyable video Cole. It’s fun to watch the Farm’s progress & learning a lot in the process. Great job to all, especially DC!!
Hi Cole. I'd like to ask you a question if that's ok. I know it's late to be trying to bring up this topic now but I'd still like to ask it anyway. When you were considering building new bins did you ever think there would be a possibility of going down into the Earth instead of building them up high. Personally I would have thought that would have been a better idea Dan going with the normal. Considering a storm could come true and you would be back to square one. Now obviously I hope a storm does not happened.
Hey everyone! Were watching Corn the Colestar!!! Were you can watch him wear socks and sandles!!!!
Honestly I just love learning. Anything you show would be just fine for me. Just wish I could do the work y'all do. Getting old sucks
Cole, I really enjoy watching your videos. I don’t care about wind noise, repeating stuff. I just enjoy watching your videos. Can’t wait till the bin site is finished.
And the house!
There all during a great job, it s good to see you again missed you all.
Excellent job there Cole, understand what you are doing, the heck what people think, your doing an excellent job running the show
You two are so cute! “Drink some water.” Adverts are just fine, especially if you keep them so entertaining!
Your promoting of companies is very good,fun and very entertaining.
You don't make me want to skip ahead,like I do with other channels🤣
I could watch you for hours,just living your best life😻
Thanks Cornstars, I really appreciate all of your content and anything else you wish to put in will be awesome!
I love NAVA!!! She's got a heart of gold and is always willing and great at helping. What other girl friend would be willing and able to help dig a grave site?? NAVA you are WONDERFUL!!!
I am so excited for the progress, well deserved upgrades to the farm!
Thank you for keeping us informed in your daily life. DO NOT worry about the so-called boring material - love it. A whole lotta pouring left to do - keep the videos flowing, much like the cement for the projects.
Your and Nave are natural entertainers, great job on the advertisement. 💯 looking forward to the next one. Cheers
The normal day is what is best. Life is not all action. It's live and watching things as a daily basis is awesome.
Did anyone else notice that the ad didn't really feel like an ad? I can definitely live with this Cole! Can't wait to hear DC doing ad reads!!!
Was just going to comment this!
JMHO, but I would LOVE to see more of the day-to-day operations of the farm. I've been a big-city-girl my entire life (almost 58 years), with the exception of the times when I was growing up that I spent vacations with my Pa-Paw and Ma-Maw in Arkansas on their small farm. Seeing how a large farm operates is fascinating to me, and I never miss your videos. Please give us more farm content -- and also your house renovations! I have to say that I really love the renovation episodes! Much love to you and your family from north Texas. Oh and #TeamMommaCornstar all the way!!!
I'm happy for all the success. God is so good.
Little trick for the probe. Pour some water on the ground and once you get started probing keep adding more water👍
It’s all good. I enjoy learning and watching all facets of your farm.
Had to pause the video so i could enjoy the view there at the end... Just gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing
And I think it is cool you all are keeping a family tradition going
Glad to see the longer videos!!! Yes Cole talking about all aspects of farm life and RUclips stuff is a great idea 💡!
Cole Running a sprinkler on Fresh concrete will keep it from micro-cracking as it cures
Yup, keep it damp. Much stronger.
@@augustreil also cooler. The heat causes some of it.
@@joefudd, Agree 100%
100% agree ... 30% of the concretes strength will come from correct curing
Slab reinforcing is not supposed to be on the ground!!! The engineer will specify where it is supposed to be ... usually 40mm top cover!! Edge of slab would be better if bullnosed trowel used - reduces edge chipping
Wonder why none of this was done🤔😳
I grew up in the country in rural Kentucky and now I live and work in the city of Indianapolis. The country is definitely more interesting! I knew everybody that lived in a 10 mile radius of me growing up but I only know 1 neighbor in my apartment building here. Nobody talks to each other in the city.
I love all the progress that you guys are making on the farm. Also, like the updates on the house. Slowly but surely!
It's about time you said something about the other side of farming. Us city slickers don't even have a clue what it takes to run a farm. Thank you farmers.
I have to admit, your commercial was very entertaining, well done. Thanks for another great video.
I am watching your channel not because it is topical fluff with overdone drama, but because I get to know what a farmer and his family in the middle America does to survive and thrive. Plus I'm middle aged, so the typical RUclipsr shenanigans drives me batty. 🤦 You've always given us a mix of what you're up to and I'm always happy to hear about whatever is in front of you, whether that means a quieter episode or not. You don't need crazy click-bait titles or to be in constant overdrive - those subscribers who demand that are vaporware anyway as far as consistency of interactions. I appreciate the genuineness of your family and what you put in front of us. Keep doing that and I'll be watching, liking, and commenting as a long-term subscriber.😊 Keep up the good work, Cornstar family!
Can't wait to see the bins go up. Keep it up Cole!
Anything you tell about the farm is interesting and important to educate the people who watch you. All facets of the farm are important. You are an advocate for the farms of your area. AND - you do a damned good job if it.
When the dryer shack pad gets poured all of the cornstars and their significant other should put a handprint in the concrete
As a kid we always put out initials in the corner
Ha cole, we have a bobcat skid loader as well, we had a problem with it trying to turn on it's own as well while sitting, it was like the one side wouldn't find the neutral spot, we found out that if you lift up the cab and look at the steering portion you can adjust it, and that's what we did, it fixed it right away, ares are hand and foot controls dont know if the is a difference if it's just hand controls or not.
Your advertisements weren’t that bad, they were interesting. Your house, porch, and bin project is really the core of Cole the Cornstar and I enjoy it all.
Cole, you’re absolutely right… the country is not boring. It’s the best place I like to be!!
I see they have the concrete very wet, that's a good thing, do you have to keep it wet, to keep it from setting to fast?
wet is never a good thing. it makes it weaker.
@@JCrook1028 Hey Brother, I was always told when it's that hot keep it damp, and cool, to keep it from setting up to fast!! The old guy's I worked for would make me go back for days and keep it wet and cool. They said the longer it cured the harder the concrete would get. Right or wrong, it always worked for them, and between them they had 60yrs experience. Hell I was just a grunt!!!!!! LOL Have a great day : }{ :
I absolutely love watching you and your families videos. Especially how you've cleaned up the farm and now all the new construction. I look forward to all the new exciting things happening at the farm and your house!
Building homes, my boss asked the concrete guy if the concrete came with a guarantee. The man said "I guarantee it will be gray, it will be hard, it will be cracked." True on all three counts.
I agree Cole I have lived in the country all my life, I moved to western Idaho from eastern idaho, a couple years ago. Live nest to some big farms. Love watching all the farm work that goes on. Loved your video. Be safe
You did a great job with The yard that you Did in the show. Very entertaining
