Enjoying the videos. Think you'll have no problem reaching 100,000. You have great narrative skills. I watch a number of family farming videos and your becoming favored to watch. Stick with it. Thanks from north carolina.
"Hey - why don't you stack the hay bales like a pyramid? 4 - 3 - 2 - 1. The upper bales do not start to mold. We place the lower ones on pallets or a layer of gravel so that they do not lie in the mud. Greeting from Germany!"
Hay season was one of my best times of the year lot of hard work but when you enjoy something so much you don't look at as work love your videos thanks you make me think back and how very much i loved farming as always looking forward to your next video
This video just popped up in my feed, go figure I've been subscribed for like 4 months now, oh well I enjoyed it immensely and cold the positions of the camera must take you a long time but they are appreciated, I know bailing is old hat to you but it's fun for us to watch, I love you guys life 👋
Awesome video!! Watching younger farmers (like you) is very inspiring and it’s good to know our generation still has good hard working people to represent us, thanks man and keep the videos coming!!
This is very well done and super interesting. A brilliant way to share an occupation and location that most people in this country will never experience. Great wok.
I know your dad must be really proud of his sons! You make me feel great about the future of our country and the work ethic that you exhibit. It's the most important lesson I've always imparted to my kids and grandkids. I'm a loyal subscriber. Thanks, Larry (NY)
I feel ya. I live in a rural area in SE WI. Farming all around me. Sadly, if you're not born into farming and land ownership it's extremely difficult and expensive to get land. I do the next best thing and hobby farm my tiny little 2.5 acres of heaven and sell sweet corn and pumpkins. Maybe someday I'll win the lottery and be able to buy more land. Until then, I'm still blessed to have what I do being as though I didn't inherit a farm or land.
In our 90 acre field we got 300 bales and we have another 1/4 section the we have half done and have like 370. Lot of hay to move. Love the video keep up the good work. I was mad I got half way they the video and the cattle truck showed up to load fat cattle and I had to wait to watch the rest of it.👍🏼🐂
awesome love South Dakota .been to visit many times , plan to go this fall , which i always drive from Massachusetts to an fro , get off the highway an drive thru the towns you meet the most beautiful loving compassionate Friendly people along the way , thanks for sharing an bless you all for your hard work , peace craig

Great video of hauling bales. Neat seeing the footage where the camera was eye level with the spears going into the bale. Hope you have some time for a vacation before having to head back to school in the fall.
You could look into getting an Ag Speed hitch for the bale wagon. It would allow you to hitch and unhitch from the bale mover without having to get out of the tractor.
Love your videos! That’s nice having two loaders in the field. We use old semi trailers with Dolly’s to haul our hay. Takes a fairly big tractor to pull it since you want to have stopping power, but you can move a lot of hay very quickly
@@onealfarms9967 where are you from? In England we have young Farmers groups they are called and everybody is welcome. It doesn't matter who you are and where you live it's a good place to find some connections by making friends with people that live on farms and they may invite you to do some work on the weekends. If you are really good they may pay for you to get licences and then give you full time work in the summer then you are on your way into a career in Agriculture. I was lucky my great grandfather started our business in about 1926 and we became contractors in 1984 when I was 3 and about 4 years later I was in the cab but not on roads. I am 38 now so I have 31 years experience lol.
Chris Fastrak Davies I’m in the same boat with you 1940 is when my grandfather bought 180 acres now I own half and rent over 300 acres long story short there is no way I can buy this farm and be able to pay for it or even make a living because of the expense of paying taxes and buying land around $10000.00 an acre I don’t know how it is in England but I know on RUclips that I seen you guy have some nice new equipment I still have tractor from the 70.s if I bought the tractor I got new today it will cost $80000.00 cow will cost $1000.00 500 bound steer averages $500.00 to$600.00 not much profit farmers have it hard unless your a corporate farmer
A long way from cutting alfalfa w/Farmall Cub , raking and loading a wagon with pitchforks and a mule. These ARE the good old days. On another note, you've done a good job with your direction, settings and narration for your videos. You could do all right with vids in any Big City. Good luck.
cool video I've put up with a stubborn bale before, I think our neibour tied the bale to tight and our bale bucked could barly penetrate the hay bale a few years ago I even put the bale on the flat side and tried to sprear it, Lifted the front tires off the gound spear only went in bout a inch.
Just came across your video for the first time. It was inspirational to see a young man working hard with his father. Most Young Folks today complain and seem to have an entitlement mentality. I hope your video inspires many young people. Your father raised you right!😏
If i had a cattle farm, I would have steak, steak w/onions, steak w/green peppers, ginger steak, steak fajitas, steak w/broccoli, steak w/snow peas, steak w/steak fries, steak w/mashed taters. Steak, steak, steak :)
Kranch is that what you said looked it up didn't know there were anything like it but you said the last field was a pasture/hayfield good to see you got as many bale as you had for it was wet at cutting and raking and baling nice video.
The drone shots are neat,is it unusual to have water standing in all those low spots this time of year ? Bale moving is a monotonous job for sure but somebodys gotta do it! Take us on a cow /pasture tour sometime please ! Thanks for the video!
Man, your drone shots are really smooth. Which drone do you use if you dont mind me asking? Also that sub count is starting to really rise. Great work.
We usually stack our bales then the rain then generally only effects the bales on top. We all have our different ways. Are all your bales for you to keep or do you get anybody that buys some?
Im surprised you are not stacking them or do the bottom layer on its end. In canada the part bale that freezes to the ground goes to waste plus they take up less space. If do see unstacked hay its usaually wrapped in a single row.
One weird thing...in the us farmers seem to think they need 1 tractor per implement? Not just Sonne Farms, but i follow 20+ us-farm-vlogs and many of them have like 6-7 tractors. In Sweden we unhook and move the tractor to another implement and then we go (yeah crazy, i know), but say 6-7 tractors in the us, would be 2, 3 tops in sweden, hence money saved.
did you ever contact Greenway?? Someone below asked about an "Auto hitch" so if you go onto onelonelyfarmer he did a 'hitch" video where he bought one 2 of the hitches where they simply unhitch/hitch without even leaving the tractor. You guys do a lot of bales, thought it may interest you.
Are you and your dad the only ones who work the farm? What does dad do when your at school or do you go close by? Just saying holy crap that's alot of work
You all don’t have any family with a garden near you? My grandparents keep giving me produce. Window sill in my kitchen is full of tomatoes...looks like the PJ worked good. Does the front axel slide when you turn? That is the only negative I’ve heard about the tri-axel trailers. Thanks for the video kind sir.
Hello. What do You think about tires Firestone? I have these tires (Performer 70) on my 6120M and they have a lot of vibration when im driving between 15- 20km/h. I have vid on my channel. Maybe they do, but the ride is very unpleasant. As if I was driving along a stony road. PS. Great video and greetings from Poland.
I am old and had horses when I was younger. The hay had to be dry and stored in a barn. There must be some waste from the rain hitting bales. Or can the cows eat moldy hay? That is a huge operation. I grew up in WI and the farms were small. Now they are all huge on the land that wasn't developed. I would guess you are raising beef cattle. Haven't seen enough of you video's to find out.
how many head of cattle do you guys have. dad and I have about 150 head of cattle. 65 of them are mine and are at my 200 acre farm that I bought a year ago .
Is that double bale spear a MDS one or what make is it I have never seen one in my life other than in MDS ads in magazines. I think MDS calls it a double bale stabber.
In Southern Wisconsin where I'm at there's a dealership that sells notch equipment I never knew they made any in green everything I've always seen has been red
Pardon my suburbs dwelling ignorance. But I don't understand. You feed the cattle with this stuff? Like basically instead of buying feed you grow grass?

There is something mesmerizing about watching you moving bales. With your music it's very pleasant. Zoning.

5 Star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ video. THANKS 🙋♀️💗
Our pleasure!
i’m waiting for next trailer to come to unload bales and so i’m watching u
And you cook too, your awesome.
I didn't realise South Dakota got so much rainy weather to upset so much of your farming!

Thanks for another great video lots of bails of hay
It’s a hot one here in South Jersey farmers are moving hay here too 😉🐝👍🏻

Much Love as always!!!
Like that on bobcat sorry hit send to fast love what yaw are doing
Hit That notification as soon as I could lol! Love the videos man!
good video keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍
This video is so soothing 😁! What camera do you use? Love the quality!
GoPro Hero 7 Black
Another great video!
Cool upload. Nice editing on the GoPro mounted on the bale forks ;)
I like bale videos 👍
Kranch is that what you said looked it up didn't know there were anything like it but you said the last field was a pasture/hayfield good to see you got as many bale as you had for it was wet at cutting and raking and baling nice video.
Kranch, its a mix of ketchup and ranch, Heinz just came out with it recently.
@@SonneFarms Yeah like it or not I am going to try it.
The drone shots are neat,is it unusual to have water standing in all those low spots this time of year ? Bale moving is a monotonous job for sure but somebodys gotta do it! Take us on a cow /pasture tour sometime please ! Thanks for the video!
Why do you store the hay and Alfa A individually, in the Uk we stack them so they keep the weather off them and then there’s less waste?
Fs 21 lookin good
Just love the channel
Back in the UK we stack the bales as well. Takes up less space and they don’t rot as easily. Love the vids keep up the good work 👍
Have you ever thought of getting a shed for your bales?
How much grass and alfalfa do you go through in a year? Also have you ran out of bales to feed with?
Man, your drone shots are really smooth. Which drone do you use if you dont mind me asking?
Also that sub count is starting to really rise. Great work.
I use the Mavic 2 zoom
We usually stack our bales then the rain then generally only effects the bales on top. We all have our different ways. Are all your bales for you to keep or do you get anybody that buys some?
Most years we keep all our bales, this year we are selling some
Im surprised you are not stacking them or do the bottom layer on its end. In canada the part bale that freezes to the ground goes to waste plus they take up less space. If do see unstacked hay its usaually wrapped in a single row.

Awesome video. I enjoyed watching you work. How many animals are you feeding?
depending on the year, anywhere from 600-900
At 5:51 and beyond it looks like you guys are stacked on bales
Beautiful to see.
Same, today is time to move hay
Greetings from Wyoming
Howdy!
How come you leave bales on the rain? Isn't it that the rain is bad for hay? I am from Slovenia, live on a farm but we always store away from rain.
That is correct but a big hay shed to keep them out of the rain would be expensive
Ok, but what is the hay like than for cows?
did you ever contact Greenway??
Someone below asked about an "Auto hitch" so if you go onto onelonelyfarmer he did a 'hitch" video where he bought one 2 of the hitches where they simply unhitch/hitch without even leaving the tractor. You guys do a lot of bales, thought it may interest you.
Are you and your dad the only ones who work the farm? What does dad do when your at school or do you go close by? Just saying holy crap that's alot of work
My Uncle Jeff, works with us. Sometimes dad just keeps the harder jobs for the weekends when I can come home
Men that will take ages,we load 32 big sqaure bales on a trailer one with the tractor and one with the manitou
You all don’t have any family with a garden near you? My grandparents keep giving me produce. Window sill in my kitchen is full of tomatoes...looks like the PJ worked good. Does the front axel slide when you turn? That is the only negative I’ve heard about the tri-axel trailers. Thanks for the video kind sir.
i noticed the sound that the front loader did when you talked about it
Nice place.

PS. Great video and greetings from Poland.
So did the new trailer work out good for you
It took some getting used to but it is nice having two trailers
How much does one of the bales usually sell for?
Why dont you stack the bales? Save a lot of space. Are you worried about the weeight on the bottom bales?
We think when we stack bales and they get rain and snow on them, they hold the moisture longer causing them to decrease in quality.
Sonne Farms ok, we wrap all our bales here in norway. Making it a bit easier to stack then
Sonne Farms is it not common for farms in the us to wrap bales?
I am old and had horses when I was younger. The hay had to be dry and stored in a barn. There must be some waste from the rain hitting bales. Or can the cows eat moldy hay? That is a huge operation. I grew up in WI and the farms were small. Now they are all huge on the land that wasn't developed. I would guess you are raising beef cattle. Haven't seen enough of you video's to find out.
how many head of cattle do you guys have. dad and I have about 150 head of cattle. 65 of them are mine and are at my 200 acre farm that I bought a year ago .
How many bales do you make a year? I make about 1100 wrapped and som dry hay as well
Way are you not using plastic on the bales, like we in Norway. It keeps the gras dry through the Winter.
IH Case grew up on them
It’s a lot faster with a skid steer!
My son hates tomato's (unless pasta sauce, pizza sauce or ketchup), so he love's the BL's, minus the Mayo/Ranch.
How is heavy each bale?
*Thus begins the bonus footage as the outro!*
11:20 so so beautiful!
Why do You leave the bales in contact whit the Earth? From My peers we avoid doing because It could bring mold to hay
Will the cows still eat the hay 😎👍🏻✨
Is that double bale spear a MDS one or what make is it I have never seen one in my life other than in MDS ads in magazines. I think MDS calls it a double bale stabber.
It sure is an MDS
I think the whole season last year our hay only got rained on one time
OUCH!
How much does one of these bails weigh? Which is heavier, per bail of grass or alfalfa ?
The bails weigh about 1400-1500lbs. I should probably know the answer to your second question but I am not sure
I’m haying this weekend on my family’s farm
In Southern Wisconsin where I'm at there's a dealership that sells notch equipment I never knew they made any in green everything I've always seen has been red
Pardon my suburbs dwelling ignorance. But I don't understand. You feed the cattle with this stuff? Like basically instead of buying feed you grow grass?
They eat grass, among other things. Either we grow it or we buy it.
@@SonneFarms excellent ! Thank you
Well I feel better for you guys now it looks like alot of hay but what do I know
yes it was, i think 2 or 3 years ago
Why don't you wrap your bales?
I'd bet hes really good at the farming simulator game
Why don't you guys make another row on top of the ones that are on the ground since you have so many bales
How many cattle do you have?
I have had a piston seal squeak
🏁Awesome
You make hay bales for your farm or you sell??
We make them to feed to our own cattle
