Grain Marketing Is Tough

[@joshsatterlee2078]

Hey Cole, I started watching your newer videos first. When I watch these older ones, it’s really impressive how much work you’ve put in to cleaning up! There’s so much less junk in the shops and so much less crap outside too! Nice job man. Just wait till we’re all even slightly interested in watching a “24 year old” farmer.....

[@alibeck1383]

Josh Satterlee - YES! No idea why but Cole’s most recent video showed up trending. I watched it and have been trying to catch up. Totally hooked!! Never farmed or want to but here I am. 🤷‍♀️

[@PCTLadyPuterTutor]

I have also been watching all of your new videos. Then I stumbled across this one. You have come a long long way son! You are so serious in these earlier videos. I'm glad to see that you are so much more comfortable in front of the camera in your more recent videos. Your smile and humor are infectious! :)

[@jeanburgin160]

It is amazing you ever get anything done. Very patient and hard working farmers...

[@bobbyharvill4225]

I remember driving a 4840 john Deere and a case 7140 when I was in high school. The memories. They are both great tractors. They outlasted me. Lol

[@yellowboy1866]

I'm amazed at how much work you all do every day, being self-employed can be a hard business to succeed at. I'm a retired marine engineer and I enjoyed working for a big company. I had starting times and finishing times. Overtime gained a higher rate of pay.

[@debbipriz]

Found your channel a month or so ago and getting caught up on past videos. You have made some great progress in the past year on your channel and the farm. Wishing you and the whole Cornstar Family continued success and happiness

[@robertpayne2717]

For cleaning up old rusted metal get a plastic paint roller pan and an aspirator and muriatic acid or 5 or 6% commercial vinegar. Clean the heavy rust with a wire brush and then the acid or vinegar then pressure wash and dry then prime and paint...also rubber gloves

[@robertpayne2717]

Grease zerks can also be stopped up on the bottom especially on collars or turn buckles like loader buckets and backhoes may have to move them slightly so the grease can move more freely

[@geraldmiller5260]

You are a great painter because you paint even the parts you or others will not see!

[@BillAndersonNS]

Question about putting corn through augers: I have noticed that corn is repeatedly being put through augers - up into the combine, from the combine to the grain card, from the grain cart to the semi, from the semi to the wet bin, from the wet bin to the dryer, from the dryer to the dry bin, from the dry bin to the grain cart, from the grain cart to the storage shed. etc etc. Does the auger have any detrimental effect on the corn? Is the corn cracked, or any covering layer removed? Can you put corn through augers an unlimited number of times without causing any damage? In the process of binge watching your videos from the beginning of time.

Cole The Cornstar - OMG when you stood up and hit the back of your head off that machinery, 🤭 Hello - FLASHBACK!!! Like the time I was cleaning a “dental op” & thought the arm of the very solid X-Ray Unit had been pushed up against the wall & I stood up really fast!!! Let’s just say: My knees buckled and STARS WERE DANCING IN MY EYES!! The THUD of my head hitting that unit was so AUDIBLE that other employees from other rooms came running. It hurt so bad, I couldn’t even cry, just carried on, once I could see straight 😉😂😂

[@ColeTheCornstar]

Karen Gates As my dad would say, "at least you didn't hurt the graincart"

[@karengates8508]

Cole The Cornstar 😂😂😂😂😂 Too funny. That cracked me right the heck up 😂😂😂😂 BTW, I didn’t let that head injury sway my choice to stay in the field of dentistry...Been at it for 17+ years now. HOWEVER, just over a year ago, I was also afforded the opportunity to join an Organic Dairy Farm and in my “non spare time”...LOL... I milk a local herd ... of course as you know, there are MANY RESPONSIBILITIES on a FARM!! I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I always wish I had. The owners of this Farm weren’t sure if I was going to make thru last winter with the -27 below temps, but I did, and here we are, almost thru a second winter...YEAH!!! Cole, you’re doing an AWESOME JOB, keep it up 👍👍👍👍

I see a couple of things that you might be able to use. One is WD 40, it's a spray silicone lubricant. It's been around forever! And, Naval Jelly, it removes rust. It's been around forever. I can't help it, I grew up the daughter of a hardware store owner.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Was anyone else thinking if only they could put an auger in the side of the corn storage building and load directly into a truck? Save wear and tear on two tractors and grain carts and shorten the loading time.

Hey there, wanted to say when you edit the videos down and add music try and match the levels of the music to your talking. I had to turn it up to hear you and then the music would be blasting. Then you'd talk again and your voice level was really low so I had to turn it back up again. Rinse and repeat through the whole video. Keep uploading videos and thanks for posting content like this for us to watch!

[@tedjacobson7822]

@@ColeTheCornstar Yes the later videos are better but sure with your attitude (which is good btw) that you'll get better and better at this and the next videos will even be better. Btw, do you have a 'Cole The Cornstar' Facebook Fanpage yet? Also should do the other ones like Instagram and stuff like that. They all help feed to your youtube channel. Like the MN Millennial Farmer on youtube talks about all the social platforms, he is on. The biggest thing having a presence on those different social media platforms is it helps your google juice for the more places you show up that people can see you on and click over to your youtube channel the more importance google will see you and give you more people to come to your page. Like if they searched for corn or farming eventually google might see you as a good result for them.

A bit late to the party, but for any future video maker: Get a full-sized loudspeaker for your video editing computer. Do not rely on earbuds, phone speakers, laptop speakers, speakers built into your monitor, or any other type of small speakers. All of them reduce the loudness of the loudest parts while lifting up the quieter parts. As a result, people who have a good audio setup (or just are watching on a TV) will have their eardrums blown out.
