    I can’t tell the CornStar family how much I have looked forward to your RUclips channel during the pandemic Quarantine. I have a farm family here in southwest Pennsylvania that I grew up next farm over. This family is 5th generation dairy farmer and they have a couple of young sons around Cole and Copper age. Last Saturday, they were doing some tillage and I got to set in the cab of their new Fendt 1050 for a nice ride along. At age 70, what a treat! You can take the boy off the farm, but never take the farm out of the boy. I just love you folks, your just like family!👍

      Hopefully this was just a scheduled farm visit discussing next year. A base cost of production for this year's crop should have been known by last November and a phased positioning approach initiated a minimum 18 months out. Sometimes asking for help is the toughest move.

      @@bensmith5413 No that is when the next fiscal years pricing for seed, chemicals, and fertilizer come out. One should already know equipment, land, and a basic cropping plan. You really should never market just for breakeven in a business environment as they advise but most farmers prefer an extremely simple marketing plan as opposed to looking at it as a value added business activity. As highlighted they usually lose money on board positions feeding those that understand trading of all types. For instance bushels sold on a futures delivery contract or on the board prior to Thanksgiving or Halloween 19 for a '20 cropping season may be on August 21 futures delivery if the carry and cost of money encourage it. Each year is different and one may roll in or roll out of a true hedge on a trading account without being a speculator due to a physical delivery contract with an end user. Lots of tax nuances I am not highlighting but the business of farming is significantly more complex if a farmer is astute. Given end users, storage, cropping decisions there is no right way to do it year over year. Just risk preference.

About ready to go back to a pickup. At 68 yrs old, I have no one or family, to leave it to. Always loved those fast cars and fast horses! Now I busy just canning foods, beef, fruits and veggies for one and making quilts to sell and donate. Man, I wish I had a family like yours. Take care of them, they are precious.

      Farmers traditionally all around the world have and are generally outstanding at growing and producing crops, animals and their products etc but have always been poor / weak at selling their commodities - fact. However this situation is rapidly having to change in order to financially survive let alone thrive for a whole stack of reasons.
      I am a small farmer in the UK and I am a member of a farmer owned co-operative organisation through which I purchase many of my requirements to grow crops and ultimately sell crops produced. This helps me enormously to survive by advising about marketing crops as well as many other issues both short and long term.

    Cole, I am sure things are different on the farm from how your Grandfather did things, but I think is safe to assume he would be very impressed by You, Daddy Cornstar and Cooper and how the farm is steadily transforming to clean, organized and well ran business. Farming is much different then it was in the past and it is nice to see you guys including us in the journey of how modern technology and marketing firms etc play a part in the big picture. I am waiting for Cooper to bring that ole Oliver into the shop for at least an assessment of it's needs. God Bless You All

    I have a tire that needs filled once a week, leaking from the valve stem around the base. I keep saying I'll get it fixed..... Definitely be careful with random Dew bottles. There are other "fluids" that look suspiciously like the dew... I was working out in the garage pulling off disk brakes in a pair of swimming trunks, too hot to wear much else.

    I was totally going to send you guys a bunch of Essential oils since they are good to have around a farm but then I saw Momma Cornstars stash of oils! Its a different brand than mine and I didnt want to offend anyone but I am SO GLAD your family uses them! Keep Calm and Oil ON!
