Farmers Are Lazy | Do We Work During the Winter?

[@npknscrb]

Interesting to see this in Oct 2019, knowing that much/most of the ‘junkyard’ has been cleared and many of the other tasks have also been done or are in progress. Sure some things have yet to be done but as you often say, these things take time and they are lower on the priority list. Cole, I commend you for all you have done at the main farm, it is really coming along nicely. Thanks for all you do and sharing it with us!

[@cooperdog9956]

You have done a tremendous amount of work cleaning the place up!!

[@ellentiedt2235]

Unbelievable all the work he has done by himself! So much CRAP!!!

[@puffykilled2pac]

Even crazier to see in December 2020 with all the clean up done!

[@janinepettit2019]

You’re playing the long game! Five years from now, it will be beautiful. Just keep chipping away at it! You’re a great mentor!

[@PTRMAN]

Great foresight! Coming back from 2024 to watch old videos and you're right! Despite the depressingly long list of things to do, Cole rallied and got it all done!

[@frankbriley4706]

These are great questions. I’ve been wearing the same few clothes for almost eight years to work in. I have a huge respect for a young man that is able to remain focused and productive, energetic, light hearted, even though greatly overwhelmed. Your a great roll model.

Good lord young man, I'm 45 and have worked hard all my days but you're work ethic is inspiring to watch and wish you and your family and farm nothing but the best.

Looking back at this video you have accomplished a lot around the farm in a short time.. awesome job!

[@davidcopperfield-DickensBook]

I went back to watch this video. You have accomplished a lot of these goals by 2020! Great, you stuck to your clean up! You are a driving force for improvement...a blessing to the operation and the family! Thank you Cole for being you!

Crazy how much I've seen finished since this, Cole is killing it.

[@donnyboyblue]

Wow, you wore me out just watching. So much to do, so many hours in a day. But you have a good grasp on things and will get the important tasks accomplished to keep the operation going.

[@deanie3246]

You have a great sense of humour. I like these earlier videos. Sometimes I feel like you’re yelling at me in the later videos. I love your enthusiasm and how your confidence has developed however I like this quieter Cole. That’s just me. Your parents should be proud of themselves as parents and proud of who you are as a young man. You’re great at work however remember to take time to get away and relax too. Don’t burn out young. Cheers 🌽⭐️

[@Smith-he6bg]

I like the energized videos more. 😊 Calmer videos make me want to fall asleep, but these are good too.

[@whataguy7032]

Cole, I've been watching your videos for about a week. I hadn't subscribed until today when I watched this video. You really let people know what it takes to keep a farm running. You have certain things that have to be done at a certain time no matter what. There are only so many hours in a day and everything else is optional to some extent. Oh, and just when you think things are going OK something breaks down and you're screwed because it delays everything that was going to happen when you finished your current task. I have nothing but respect for the family farmer. My cousins in PA had a 400 head dairy farm and were the hardest working people I knew. They all died young from the stress. My hats off to you and your family from an American that depends on you and people like you for our food.

[@ColeTheCornstar]

Cliff Meadows That is very kind of you to say. I run around with my head cut off but try my best!

[@paularnold2108]

You do your best, Cole. Great job on the videos. Thanks for letting us tag along.

[@sherilynl4038]

"these trees need trimmed" to "these trees need to go"...and they are gone!! love going back and watching from the beginning. seriously, the amount of STUFF to do is overwhelming. to see just how much work you've done in just 2 years is amazing. congrats

[@kiddkatii]

"Who has time for laundry?" EXACTLY. You're just gonna get dirty the next day. Wear your outer layers until they fall apart but change socks and underwear daily. 😁

As a first generation city boy in Iowa with both parents that grew up on farms and an auto repair shop owner I really enjoy all your videos from seeing farming life to equipment maintenance to shop cleaning. Keep up the great work!

[@ColeTheCornstar]

Jeffrey Zieser Thank you!

[@heartattackjack9349]

You look a little overwhelmed here, but as you have said in later videos, just handle it in manageable chunks, a bit at a time. Glad to see these older videos and how far you've come. Edit - It's also unusual to see your father behave himself. I then realized that he hams it up for the camera. Gotta love your father. He's the only one you have.

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Rusty Walker Thank you for the kind words, Rusty. Welcome to the team!

[@barrygrant2907]

I really liked this video, even though it's been out for a while. It;s good that you mention all the costs involved in farming. So many only think of corn as 2 ears for 99 cents at the supermarket and never imagine what it costs the farmer to grow it.e

[@jonnies6655]

I didn’t know you were going to college while you’re taking care of the farm too. That is a HUGE amount of work ongoing...I am impressed. I enjoy your videoes, very entertaining and educational. Thanks. 😃

I've watched a ton of your videos and this by far was one of the best.. great job.

[@barbarastedillie1336]

I love how you explained the tasks that need to be done! You have a great sense of humor! You’re inventive, funnily descriptive, and great camera work to emphasize what you’re saying!! How you keep all of these tasks, as well as knowing specifically what needs to be done to each piece of equipment, is amazing to me! I’m a neat freak as well, so I’m excited to go on this journey with you as you clean the place up! Hopefully soon!!

[@asquithmainlines699]

How many 21 years olds have a to do list that could even come close to Cole’s. Such a positive attitude. I watched daddy Cornstar grease that combine and as I was watching I was thinking he is squeezing that grease gun pretty hard. At the time I thought he must be at the end of the tube and trying to get the last bit out.

You sounded tired or mentally down in this year old video. Now I've been watching through the 2019 year to present.... Something is different...you're more motivated sounding and visually more upbeat! So I'm glad things have become better for you. I think it's going better for your family....or at least that's what I'm sensing by the passage of time during the 2019 year of your vlogs. You've made major improvements, cleaning up, business decisions for seed, equipment and maintenance of equipment, your own original homestead building improvements, at least from my eye view viewing your videos over the last several days, you're getting things organized, getting a grasp of the daily functions to get your best outcomes for your farm. Your family is doing well, and your farm is going (or already is) to be the beacon of success in your area! Congratulations, and Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to you and your family!

I heard on another video that you said you were going to school for financing. You are very smart do that even though you already have a career plan in front of you. I went to college after high school and just wanted to get a degree in anything to get it over with. I went to school for computer networking which I had/have no interest in. It was just a two-year program that I could get through quickly to please my parents that I "went to college." Now I work in financing and I wish I had gone to school for that. I'm 37 years old now and I want to go back to school but it's kind of hard because I have work and I have three kids and a husband. But maybe one day!
