How I got my start on Youtube

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you all for the kind words! It means a lot to my family and I!

[@BWYinYang]

Ya, should pin the comment so it'll be on top.

[@danpueppke9577]

You're good people.

[@richardh8355]

Nice job!!!!

[@emanuelebarberini4149]

I have just seen this video! I’m from Italy and watch always your videos! I just wanted to tell you that you and your dad are great and wish you the best! Keep it up.

[@tracymcclung3145]

I don’t normally watch farming channels , stumbled across your channel by accident n love it , good amount of humour and family content , wish you every success x

[@erniebuckman9947]

Young man I am 73 and you do your family proud. Good to know you are the future.

[@terrywhitall4392]

Giving your dad credit shows the type of man you are and your future will be strong good luck

[@stepheneilenfeld1934]

Cole the one thing I like you is that when talk in vlogs or in front of people you seem as yourself. That’s best part. People see thru someone’s BS real Keep up the good work young man.

[@danielleschnoberger4670]

TOTALLY TRUE!!!! I watched this 5-26-21 And you are funny and your dad, you guy's crack me up every video pretty much. It's the delivery of it for me that makes it funny.

[@danieljohnston5306]

When you said you weren’t funny, I laughed! You are funny, your dad too, but it’s not a forced or dorky funny, it’s just real. That resonates with people, we live in a time when fake is everywhere, even “reality” shows. It seems that 100k mark is a big turning point for you-tubers, prepare for it, your life will change even more for the better. Keep it real, and we will keep watching!

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks Daniel!

[@robsonne1049]

Great job Cole. Like you said, this was your first real time public speaking, and you did great. I cant wait to see how you will grow in that aspect.

[@johnlandsberger3337]

Cole, being a past farmer your channel has helped me stay calm during COVID19. It brings back memories of the farm in Ohio that I enjoyed many years ago. I am 78 now.

[@benburns5995]

Great speech Cole. Good to hear the story of your Grandparents being supportive and purchasing a new drone as a gift. Your dad doesn't say much on the videos but good to hear that he is so supportive.

[@vtscratchalot4423]

You my friend are Americas son thank you so much for sharing a little window into your farm life keep up the good work and always remember to be you

[@pattitorres31]

Here you are 8 months later and at 69k. Love hearing your story. Keep true to yourself and your numbers will keep climbing. Im no where near a farmer and you keep me interested.

[@downhilltwofour0082]

Good things come to good people who are always doing good things!

[@wilycat5290]

I watch a few channels regularly. Canadian sheep & crop farmer, a bushcraft camper, quilting, goat farmer in AZ, Vermont duck/geese/chicken farmer, NY bird hobbyist. Now you. What these have in common is that I like the person, interesting presentations, they are honest, smart and truly love or at least respect their animals. You and your dad have obvious love and respect for each other. I'll keep watching for sure. Don't change. I'm 73, retired RN.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks so much!

[@kevinklingner3098]

Your Dad is very cool and laid back about this whole youtuber thing. In fact l think he enjoys it and occassionally hamming it up. Good luck with it.

[@michaelhocking9037]

Thanking Grandparents and your Father was a nice thing to do you are young man with a great future.

[@michaelbenson2024]

Cole Thanks for your family’s support and history.Your videos have the ability to promote farming large or small.Animal husbandry has a place on this earth and your visual content helps. Sonne family enjoy your journey with the world watching and know in your hearts we all care.

[@lifebehindacow5999]

Great video. Love to see young farmers out there putting a positive face on agriculture. A hundred thousand should be no problem.

[@DarrensTruckzs]

Well done Cole .. I could sit an listen all day !! Your a very good speaker very down to earth .. never change always be yourself.. I wat h a lot of you tube channels an as some of them grow to be large I notice there attitudes An ways change some I think to be not as good anymore an I loose intrest .. jus my little 2 cents in a way to help you to continue to grow cause I think your a natural.. hard work an perseverance pays off as you know being a farmer an all .. so big thumbs up 👍 Congrats

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you Darren!

[@marklen2322]

It is very nice to see a young man in the cattle business. So many of us are old men, the cattle business need young blood.

[@elitebowman5386]

Good job on speaking in front of the people on this video Cole. I have been watching a lot of your videos lately. I like your humor. I get a chuckle out of the things you do and say on them. I have learned a few things too. I watch 10th Generation Farmer, and SaskDutchkid too. Our Wyoming Life also. I have learned a lot from all of you about how you farm your lands and how you care for your animals. Thank you for sharing. I subbed your channel 2-3 weeks ago. Good luck in the future. My son just graduated College too.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!!

[@JohnVanRuiten]

What a great story Cole. Your videos are my favorite now. You do such a good job. All I can say is may God richly bless you young man. You make your family proud.

[@anelnel4752]

It's 2022 watching from South Africa Mosselbay. How I got onto this channel was by accident but I started watching you guys. Father and son such dry humor and sharing daily chores. What a privilege to work together. Every night before bed my husband jokingly say are we farming a bit, what are they up to. Keep it up we are hooked

[@mollydion8311]

Your mom & dad must be bursting with pride to know they raised such a hard working, goal setting, man of honor with a great sense of humor! ❤

[@CRAIGVY]

Hello Cole great presentation , an your Grand Parents are kool , like mine you can learn lots from them . an they are right the drone videos are awesome , if you work physically for a daily meal you can understand what life is about , bless you all , peace craig

[@firejohnson9531]

When I’m not at the fire station, I’m farming and ranching and at night I enjoy watching farming and ranching video’s because it’s nice to see other people have the same triumphs and struggles as me. Plus your father is funny as hell, reminds me of my dad. Great work!

[@russelleverts2487]

I've been raising beef cattle for about a year, You Sir, have helped me out quite a bit. Amazing how you are serious and humorous at the same time.

[@pc5569]

Thanking your parents and grandparents speaks highly of your character. Your parents and grandparents support of you and your channel shows the love and support they have for you.

[@cudawantd1]

I missed this video when you posted it back in 2019 with 30k subscribers, instead, I am seeing it for the first time in May 2022 with 199k subscribers and my how you have loosened up in front of the camera. It's a 180 degree transformation from a stiff, shy guy to a seasoned confident guy who knows what to say and do in front of the camera. Great job on your videos and tell your dad he is a natural in front of the lens and funny too.

[@hfff1]

Film everything and show it to us. Get your family involved, make 'Them' talk on camera. The history of your farm, your grand parents could contribute. You run cattle and field crops, that sets you apart from the corn, wheat and soybean growers. And you are a young farmer! Tell us why! Thanks for clarifying Sunny/Sonne. Been waiting for this presentation since you teased it in a previous vid.

[@ericjenjohnson]

A KZbin channel is a brand. Every great brand has an even greater story behind it. Thank you for sharing your story! With some more solid content you should have no problem reaching 100K. Love your channel and keep up the great work.

[@barbaralane9825]

One year later ... 143,000 subscribers. What a great job you’ve done.

[@phillovelace]

December 1st 2021 - 184,000 👍👍👍

[@michaelking5764]

Wow you have grown this channel very fast due to your family and humor with your Dad! I remember back about a year ago and you should be excited on another year and what it will bring. Use your half slappy on 2020!

[@brandeissports3436]

Cole, You clean up really nice. Farmers don’t often wear suits. At least my Daddy didn’t. He wore suits to Church, school functions, weddings and funerals.

[@Heisstrong]

Excellent Cole. What do you mean, your not funny? I love your sense of humor and Brian's wit and quick retorts! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelmcdonnell4200]

Cole. Over the past 6-8 months while reviewing many vids on farming and ranching I have learned so many things concerning the daily routine of people in the industry. When I make my Western trip I'll drive by and say hello.

[@s.pursell8901]

Cole I've been watching your channel now off and on for about three months. And I can say it's only gotten better each and every single video. After watching this video. I couldn't help but to subscribe. Good luck with the farm and the KZbin channel. And I personally love your dad. Stay safe from this beer19 disease.

[@keithdunlop5055]

Hey Cole really interesting talk there! You presented yourself well no nerves either . Well done young man keep them coming I really enjoy watching the vlogs . In from Northern Ireland and I was over in North Dakota, South Dakota Nebraska Kansas Oklahoma a few years ago custom cutting for altendorf custom cutting and transport as was great to do that so I like watching your family it brings back good memories keep it up sir!😉

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks Keith!

[@jamesm611]

@@SonneFarms new subscriber. Love the videos and enjoy your content. Your a good man.

[@terithibault6717]

It was great hearing your story. Love your channel! I live in southern Minnesota and usually when I watch your videos I know what the weather is going to be the next day. More accurate than the weather report. Keep up the good work. I'm sure there are a lot of old grannies like me pulling for you

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks for watching!

[@erictilley4095]

Thanks for letting us getting to know you and your interests on farming and trying to explain them to us...it takes a lot of balls to stand in front of a group of people and I'm sure you and your dad will be just fine doing these videos for us to see...just relax and try not to be nervous when making them..we will follow you and help you to get more people here by word of mouth or sharing with our friends here... PS if you want to be funny go ahead and just throw it out there and we see what happens...good luck and I'm sure you'll do great...

[@kennethunderwood2396]

I don't know. You said you not that funny. I thought when you censored the banana, was hilarious. Great videos. Keepem coming

[@cnacma]

It’s a good channel. I’m one of the people “outside the farming world” that he’s talking about and he’s directly answered my questions every time I’ve asked one. I always watch the videos when they pop up now.

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you Douglas!

[@normakers5632]

What a great video and a very interesting story! A big thank you to your father and grandparents. I have confidence you can achieve any goal you set. Thanks for everything.

Thanks!!

Thank you for sharing this, love your channel and content, keep up the awesome work

[@danpueppke9577]

Great story! Loved getting to know your Dad loading bunker sections. He's behind you 150%, you will succeed. Put on your Big Boy Pants and do a video with you telling more urban kids about ag. Tough to public speak, but you'll be more articulate for it and it will grab views and be shown in other Big City schools.

[@kathleendana]

You opened a whole new world to me. Had no idea how hard farmers work every day. Love you sense of humor. I cancelled cable tv because of the lack of interesting content and anger shown too often. Prefer to be entertained by real Americans. Stay humble and keep it up!! God bless you and your family. Dads fun and yay for the uncle in the background! America!!

[@dellawilliams3489]

Love the way you are you are your dad and mom heck you are the kinda person I would like to learn from. Ty

[@LiLBitsDK]

so funny to see this popping up on my stream today, and how much your dad is part of the videos now and even filming as well :D awesome channel and lots of fun and great jokes.

[@Juanita372]

Well said. Very interesting. You are great to listen to!

[@derrickeischens3993]

I live just outside of brookings. It’s been amazing to see how much your channel has grown over the past 8 months or so that I’ve been watching it is truly amazing to look at that. Cole, this was a great video and you are sort of inspiring me to start putting some videos on the internet. I am camera shy too and it has also been cool to see that you’ve gotten less and less shy of the camera.

[@catgynt9148]

As a member of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation I appreciate your opportunity to educate the public. Have you gotten sponsorship for your KZbin videos? Your UAV drone providers should offer sponsorship or at least an opportunity to test new equipment. Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter season. Cheers,

[@michaelcullen7706]

Cole, its the chemistry w you and your dad that make it the best channel on youtube! I actually dont watch any real tv and cancelled my cable! Keep up ur great work...give Brian some air time too LOL

[@NovoGold]

Only just watched this vidya... lol... congratulations to you Cole, and your entire family giving you the support in being a part of this adventure. Great story,and you are obviously doing something right mate. I for one am not a farmer, I live on the East Coast of Australia, a surf city called Newcastle in NSW, In saying that you have caught me up in your day to day farming routines, and I think the way you guys come across as so genuine and open in everything you do is what captures peoples interest, it did mine. Keep doing what your doing, don't let KZbin over run your life. Have seen a lot of big channels go flip side up because of the BS that's present with comments, media etc.. keep it open, stay true to your viewers and you will go far...once again Congratulations on a top job. 👍❤🇦🇺

[@craigbowie8925]

Cole it's really fun to see this video when you are talking about the numbers back then and looking now seeing 72.7k subscribers. Well done young man. I sure like the gussied up look. Might find you that wife everyone is trying help you find.

[@steffc8881]

The key for your channel is because you and dad have a wonderful relationship and feed off each other naturally don’t change your format to much

[@tik-tac-toe7864]

good for you dude.. i enjoy your videos till this day as do many more people.. keep it up...and remember you videos do make an impact...good job you and your dad

[@nancysonleitner3598]

Even if this video of your start is pre pandemic, it was good to find out about your start on KZbin. Thank you for continuing to make videos and tell us non farmers how our food is produced!

[@hoophil]

Hi Cole! I'm just going back and watching some of your older videos that I haven't seen. Dang man you clean up really well!! This was a very well done video and presentation! I've seen in your videos how close you and your dad are, he's quite a guy! It's beautiful how your family has supported you through this process from your grandparents buying you a new drone to your dad pushing you to take your camera with you. I'm really glad you got into posting videos, so we can get to know you and learn how hard farming really is. I wish you the best and I will be watching as long as you are posting. Stay safe and healthy Cole!

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!! You too!

[@ericdavis9360]

Cole I gotta tell ya buddy congratulations to you I love watching your videos I’ve been trying to watch them all lol I’m pretty new to your channel but I sure enjoy watching you and your father on your daily farming I myself am 36 years old and have a 60 acre beef farm here in West Virginia it’s not much but it’s a lot of work and fun. But even though I grew up on a farm im still learning things and it’s a help believe it or not watching your videos and learning things from you and your father so thank you I love the relationship between you and your dad that’s awesome I sure wish my dad was in better health I know he would be out with me hanging out and helping like you guys do. Keep up the good work buddy. God bless you and your family and I’ll keep following your channel

I am not a farmer but as a shooting and fishing man I have spent a lot of time on farms, my grandson lives in the Republic of Ireland and his out of school job is on a dairy farm across the road from the house. From what I have seen I think you have a very slick operation. Well done on a very interesting channel.

That's right most people don't have a clue what farming is are what we do. I'm in alabama same here.

[@rubixmania100]

Great speech, Cole.

[@herdingcats3850]

Cole, you're a farmer and a good one. Your dad is the comic. "Did I ever tell you about the time..." Just stay human. And more about Ellie! A trained cow dog would be invaluable to you.

[@YouTube_Professor]

Cool story, we should buy your grandma some flowers for saving the channel. Love the channel, one of my favorites, like I said before quality content, good editing, and funny commentary from you and your dad. Going back and watching all the old ones now to get up to speed. As joe dirt would say, “keep on keeping on”.

[@SquireMickMack]

I'm in the first generation of my family NOT to be raised on a farm/ranch, and I thoroughly enjoy what you're doing with your channel. 'Hope you continue to post for a long time. And another thing: If Webster's were ever to publish an entry for "quiet, can-do attitude with a good sense of humor" they'd need your Dad's photo! And just one more thing: It seemed to me that the young-lady demographic was way over-represented in the Q&A... Now, it's possble that you prefer to call on the women, Cole... or perhaps the room was chock-full of young women interested in YOU. Both possibilities putt a smile on my face!

[@RecoveryChad]

You've succeeded because you are real. Its that simple. Also you and your dad are hilarious especially together.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!!

[@steveneal2706]

[@randychristian7642]

[@herbertjohnson7986]

your video's are addicting. I love to watch them. I enjoy life through your video's. I used to farm when I was 8 till 16 I had a horse farm I showed Tennessee walking horses and American 3 and 5 gaited Saddle breds and a few American show ponies. I leased 10 acre alfalfa hay field. on my 15 acres at home I put in a couple acres of corn enough for the winter for my horses the only grain I had to buy was oats. I had hay enough for the year and at the end of the year I had hay to sell. I trained in the spring and showed in the mid summer to late fall. then in 63 my dad had a heart attack. the Dr said he would never be able to live in Indiana suggested Florida. we moved in December as I noticed we were losing dad we bought a mobile home but I wanted some land so I keep looking found a few acres was planning on moving my stable but there was no English shows in Fla. so I went back to Indiana and sold every thing out. sorry for rambling. blessing's Herby

[@laurelb1962]

Boy Cole, I sure enjoyed watching this video. You are very good at explaining what your talking about. I found your channel while I was watching another favorite channel, I scrolled down a bit and saw some cattle and thought, huh, I wonder what this is all about. I watched one video and I was HOOKED. So, I've started binge watching from your humble beginnings and I will admit, that I prefer when you talk in your videos to explain what you are doing. I do enjoy watching the drone videos, as they are beautiful. Keep up the great work and God Bless. 💗👍😁😎

Pretty dang cool Cole. You have a lot of very interesting old videos to watch for sure. This was definitely one of the better ones. You did exceptionally well. You clean up nice. Great speech. I learned a lot from this. Your family is truly remarkable. I bet they’re all very proud of you.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Great hearing your story! Congratulations on your KZbin success! I enjoy your videos seeing the farmland and equipment we have a very small farm but only produce hay right now but have a hard time at that. Lots of fun trying though! I try to video most everything though!

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!

[@ndrose]

Sincerity will get you far in life. Hope things keep going well.

[@kirbyspencer538]

I remember when I first started speaking in public. You did great. If this becomes a regular thing resist the urge to over-prepare, you are fine 'off the cuff'. Other than that, lose the 'and so' phrase without replacing it with something else equally distracting. Also, during a Q and A, if you are being recorded and the audience doesn't have a microphone, repeat the essence of the question before answering. Again, great job.

[@albertlong1465]

Glad u got started with KZbin.🍁🇨🇦

[@jerrybyars2651]

Love your video's. I'm 77 yrs young never been to a farm. Very entertaining and enlighting for me. Keep up the good work.

[@SonneFarms]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@edesquivel6105]

@Sonnefarms I often thought about using drones for a business but it always falls short in market use. But one thing for sure is it could be used for weather applications I know farmers rely on weather forecast for day to day care in their farms so maybe there might be some value if you could price the service at low app cost. And for me it almost seems like you could do it in a small scale and set up a system so that in your phone it would be a norm app with real use in both farm and commercial use. I mean for sure an extra that is not necessary but maybe something that is nice to have for convenience for a day to day use (Assuming you can overpass the man). Again this is me day dreaming, but am glad there is interest in such things.

[@breannemartin4764]

Its always cool to learn a little history on the creation of the farm itself especially one a few generations in like yours or what got you thinking of making videos

[@anncerutti6364]

You did an amazing job Cole you were raised by an amazing mother and father you clean up nice too 😀😁

Happy to see that your channel is a success and that you are enjoying making videos. I certainly enjoy watching them! Grandparents to the rescue! That is awesome. Your channel was actually the second farming vlog channel that I found and subscribed to. Best of luck with the future of the channel. Cheers!
