How I Accidentally Ruined My Best Farm.

On today’s episode, we headed back into the combine to one of our favorite farms, Kristin & Rusty's, for a busy day of combining soybeans, plus filled the last of our grain bins, fixed one of the broken bins, I got sick, I accidentally ruined our best farm, and we finished soybean harvest. On to corn now!

Cole, we’re all here because we enjoy your videos. Clickbait really isn’t needed

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Amen

Click bait is silly , he has many devotees

[@indianaslim4971]

Click bait isn't for subscribers and regular viewers, it's purpose is to gain new viewers when they see it in their recommendations.

[@randykovalenko1236]

Agree don’t need click bait.

[@kisshereful]

I would not call it as clickbait as yiel in the Tabletop farm are indeed ruined due to this issue and that was the highest yield farm ...

[@michaelchittick2370]

7:10 min....... That face when you pull up from work and or on lunch come home to see your child/children and see those smiles, Hell I smiled from this since I'm 11 hours away from my Family. Thanks Cole... Love the videos.

[@mathasson2141]

The decade of manure + the added fertility of you high management likely created a perfect environment for white mold. We just dealt with white mold on all of our beans in which the corn got chicken litter. When we were in fields where there was no manure on before corn there was no white mold

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

So cute when Edward got all excited when his dad opened the cab door. 😊

[@sharonwilson8208]

Agriculture is a science. You will figure out, when you aren't run down and sick, what happened with your beans. Just remember how well you've done in the other fields. Incredible how you're all interchangeable. Makes things run so smoothly, at least the 3 of you make it look organized. Great job! You have many things to be thankful Cole. Down here in Warren County, things aren't so good. It's been dry all summer. When it did rain, it was a major storm with wind, hail, small tornadoes. Then back to hot. Your mind is on continual fast forward it seems. Getting the last bit of the farm cleaned up. It looks fantastic compared to the first videos. ❤😊

[@andreassjoberg3145]

Just remember to rotate crops. If you get a pest then rotate in a crop immune to it for a while. Now mold is a tricky one though.

[@loserhl]

I've seen video's of Amish reclaim the cinder blocks on the old cement silos. Maybe there's a group in your area that will come and take those silos down for freeish?

[@jonathanhall7903]

I appreciate how you reason things through on the yield/fields, etc. Push some zinc, too along with your vit c

[@nokesbob2256]

I hope you all are feeling better soon. Edward is so adorable. Love his smile! That ear of corn is huge! I'm hoping they are all like that and that you guys have a huge crop this year. The area where you have the white mold on the beans, will you have to treat the ground with something so it doesn't effect next years crop? You guys are really getting it all done!

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤️. Having a clue how much blood, sweat, and how many tears you and your family put into farming, it breaks my heart a little bit when things don't go as you so beautifully planned. Then I remember the real disasters youve handled. You're all very good at fighting back chaos! 😊

[@tomazskrlec5632]

Cole, I wish you and all yours well. Every body also needs rest and regeneration. I hope you have a great harvest. but you will have to finish the house.

[@allendavidson6608]

Another great video today Cole, Too bad about the White Mold on Tabletop, but on the bright side it was only spotty and limited to just one bean field. Now You get to enjoy the family cold just like DC & Momma Cornstar used to when you were little LOL. Hopefully Corn will be a Bountiful crop this year and can't wait to see how the new corn head works out from Coopers endeavor. Thanks as always for bringing us along on your journeys

In regards to cleaning out the waste from the old hog barn, would the Skid-Vac from Beekman Vac like Larson Farms has or a Vacuum Truck be the best option for removing both the solids and liquids quickly, easily, and economically?

Sad Nave and Ed are sickly hope they'll get better soon. Cole change up your foods it's not good to eat the same meals every day. Enjoyed the show and keep em coming. Congrats on your bean harvest being completed.

The Colestar's are a good example of a classic family farm. Keep healthy, wealthy, and wise.

[@pecan11]

Re the bad soybean area. If u applied some kind of enrichment, it may have been contaminated. Soil may have more compaction or old contamination of either a chemical or a wind blown disease. The roots were dead and the stalks could be sent to lab for ID. I woudl repeat the same next yr and watch that area during growing to see if u see plants r dying .Nutrients obviously weren’t getting to plant I hope u keep a journal like an almanac

Can you use the hog water on the fields? Even if you have to work it into the soil. It would be beneficial for the corn.

Can you leave it for winter pheasant cover, especially if it has no value to harvest?

I remember when you were doing a lot of in-depth studies about crop outcomes. Curious how that is playing out good or bad, or more of the same.

[@Dennismelnychuk]

What was wrong with the Red Volvo truck ? Fuel filters?

[@Marlenesgardens]

I wonder if you spot test your soil to determine what is needed to grow your crops. Not every field has the same soil make up right? Trial and error and charting are all part of farming. Great video.

Here in Oregon, most farmer (Grass seed) gave up on manure spreading becuase it rarely produced noticeable results. might be the same thing with Soybeans since fescue and soybeans are closely related.

You folks may just have a MASSIVE corn harvest. And really hope you will!

I’ve been sickly every since the start of harvest, not enough to get down but enough that you don’t want to get up. Been so dry I think the fine particles in the air it’s playing havoc with sinuses.

Use the old silos by wrapping them in stone and converting to bed and breakfasts or a dandy playhouse/observatory.

He could build a spiral staircase along the inside wall to create his own bell tower like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, except his wouldn't be leaning. Build an observation deck on top with a sturdy railing, so no one falls off. LOL

Will the white mold get on your equipment and spread to other fields? I come from a livestock farming family so I don't know soybeans and corn.

[@tajvlogs9296]

A big well pump will help remove that nasty water, you could save the water and filter it to spray on the fields, maybe supply a nice pond on your property and the earth will filter it out

[@tajvlogs9296]

Also you'll have water if ever needed down the road and a nice pond to have animals come drink

[@pugz910]

We had company come out and pump where a dairy barn when we bought a farm, was big bucks to suck up poop. Which the DNR said had to be done. Than we back filled it.

[@CB.5]

It's not that big of a deal. It will just need to be pump into a honey wagon and disced or knifed into the field. The worst case scenario is they may need to pay to have a sample tested but probably not. Hog manure gets spread all over from hog confinements.

[@dankreoger611]

Ryan over at How Farms Work had some Amish or Mennonite people take down their silo to repurpose it, rather than destroying it

[@paulcoon5399]

I'm going to be honest Cole, you need to change your diet. You are not getting nearly enough vegetables, and you aren't getting any fruit. Your body needs those things to stay healthy.

[@johnwells920]

Lol ok

[@paulhailey2537]

MEAT IS ALL A MAN NEEDS

[@DerekThorpe294]

Cole is eating fairly solid diet. The vitamins and minerals found in animal-based foods is much more biologically available than vegetables and fruits anyways. Also, your profile picture detracts from anything you say around nutritional advice. Practice what you preach.

[@barrygrant2907]

Maybe you should have left a tiny patch of the bad bean crop and a tiny patch of the good crop so one of your bean experts could take a look and give you his thoughts. Hope the Fam gets over the bug quickly. Edward sure seems on the mend.
