My Least Favorite Thing About Farming

[@craigschofield64]

Boy I am happy I am not the only dad that insist that emergency gear and clothing is in the vehicles every winter. I have always made my wife and son & daughters have that stuff in the trunk. All of them always thought I was paranoid, but my youngest daughter got her car stuck while at school in upper Michigan 20 miles from the nearest town in a blizzard and -30 degree F ... she would not have survived had that stuff wasn't in the car. She was fine but cold and the troopers that found her said she would have frozen to death had that gear not been in the car. Cell phones are useless when there are no cell towers around. But the extra cloths and blankets kept her alive and well until morning.

[@KarenThompson-cg9lr]

My survival gear always melts...95° and 90% humidity 90% of the time here in South Florida.

[@craigschofield64]

@@KarenThompson-cg9lr well currently it is a balmy 12 degrees with the wind chill it is -7. We are also under a winter storm warning snow accumulation of 6-10 inches by tomorrow evening. Hopefully the wind doesn't pick up or it will get a lot colder. I live 6 blocks away from Lake Huron so and the winter winds get brutal. You can keep Florida...too many bugs, snakes, gators and in the summer it is just too blasted hot and sticky for me.... I am New Mexico/Arizona guy...lol

[@Lanny-io9bi]

It's very important to not be caught in something like the cold unprepared

[@amythompson6056]

You and mama corn star are lucky to have each other. Thank you for putting this type of family centered content out in universe for younger generations that may not have had the best example of of what a real man does to take care of his family and responsibilities.

[@lauramarti7548]

Seems like a plow for the front of your truck should go on your next year’s Christmas wish list. Then you could stay warm while you push snow around.

[@peterwy874]

DC, I just love the fact that you look after Momma Cornstar's needs. This video was once again ACE! You have your heart in the right place.

[@KenPrill]

I 2nd that ! 👍

[@Mania26]

He is her husband soo xD They love each other and helping and supporting. Its normal, healthy relationship.

[@Katya67]

He'd better!! It's pretty obvious that Mamma Cornstar is the spine of this whole organization.

[@Kittycat822]

Us single ladies out here could only dream of finding a nice, hard working, humerus and caring hubby like you! Your dad taught you a valuable lesson.

[@private15]

I’m 60 and still have to shovel my own driveway by hand. 🌬❄️🌬🥶

[@mt1eh]

Why are single ladies looking for a Humerus? Do you lose your upper arm when you are single? And what does searching for a humerus have to do with finding a caring hubby? I'm so confused now.

[@firehydrant315]

@@mt1eh You are so humorous with your Humerus humor! I am a sucker for bad dad jokes.

"Move On"..Words to live by!!

[@bvfdfire1]

my dad and grandad put on a tractor loading dumptrucks when i was 7 or 8 years old, and never looked back, dad was killed in an accident when i was 11, and then by the time i turned 13, grandad said i needed my own dumptruck, but the catch was, he gave me two in various stages of dis repair, and said "you can build the one you want out of those two, when your done, its yours!" so at 13 i built my own dumptruck, and hauled dirt for 3 years with no drivers license...... highway patrol stopped me a few times, but never gave me any tickets.... times were different then. enjoy your outlook and channel very much, it passes through to your entire family! and i also share your affection for chocolate milk, i have been fighting throat cancer for the past year and can pretty much only drink chocolate milk without choking. its my main staple!!!!!! stay safe sir!!!!!!

[@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD]

You forgot to read the fine print on the marriage license, must plow snow for wife no questions asked.. haha.. have a good one buddy and take care..

[@jcacres1995]

I had to chuckle - when I was about 10 I was using a front end loader to put feed into our hog feeder. After completing that process I was driving the tractor and still had the bucket all the way up and somehow I ran one of the fork through the barn door just as my Dad rounded the corner to witness the whole act. He had been down in the field planting corn and I was taking care of the hogs....50 years later I watch my son trying to get his truck unstuck and using brute horsepower rather than finesse he caught traction ran over my smoker and park his truck through the side of the barn....History does repeat itself!!!

[@jimconaty6218]

I see a line of greeting cards in Daddy Cornstar's future.

[@sewingbarbie6136]

You cracked me up from the get go about looking over your marriage license! 🤣🤣🤣

[@happyMontana29]

You know what they say, behind every successful farmer is a wife that works in town.

[@tammyeich4493]

If your Dad did bring up your accident, it would have been for a funny. He sounds like a great man. ❤️

[@joyceschuster6657]

Your dad was a wise man and a good dad!!! Mama Cornstar is very blessed to have a husband who scoops snow and fills up her gas tank for her! I have to do all of those things for myself.

[@fayeashcroft7066]

Hi 🙋‍♀️ Daddy cornstar!!!! Would love ❤️ to see photos of the tractors 🚜 combines and equipment that you used when you started farming Lovingyour channel and your life stories In lockdown here in Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 so getting cornstar videos is helping us get through it Cheers 🍻

[@cmderrx]

after the chocolate milk "incident" the other day, I got a bit nervous just as you were going to take today's first sip.

[@braxtonnelson7422]

Lol! I was the same way!

[@kimtalley8190]

I love that story about your dad, the skid loader & the bucket through the door... It's so true that because he didn't get mad at you, you weren't traumatized to try other new things.

[@karentwining9490]

Wapakoneta Ohio here, when my garage door is frozen I just give it a good hip bump❄️❄️ But when you hit the overhead door and hear that icey screech, nails on a chalkboard!

Before you started this channel I always thought it would be Cooper that kept Momma Cornstar on her toes with wild and crazy youthful ways but now I firmly believe it's you DC! Your are crack up and I love the wisdom you share. Thanks for letting us see into your life.

[@melindakelly8364]

I just giggle so much watching your videos! DC you bring me so much joy!!

I think you should switch your chocolate milk to hot chocolate ! You need a closed skid loader with heat....and yeah....don't want MammaC getting stuck on the road in freezing cold temps and snow with no gas ! Good for you going out and helping out MammaC ! You're a good man DaddyC ! You were so blessed to have a wise and caring dad....

It was so cold here in Northern Maine last week that the words coming out of my mouth were frozen. I had to pick them up and take them inside put them over a stove to find out what was saying!

Daddy Cornstar, you make me smile when I watch you.

[@brendarobbins8832]

My dad put the car into the garage back wall, not once, but twice! The dining room was on the other side of the wall. Luckily the China cabinet was on a different wall. And that’s why there is now a 3-foot wide, 6” tall sidewalk along that wall!

[@juliealbert9222]

DC I would love for you to make a video all about Anna. What kind of pup is she. How old? Tell us stories about her. Thanks so much!

[@seanstrehle6312]

I have never been that cold mind l live through hot summers and hot winters here in Australia but you guys rock never a dull moment

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

Same, I’ve never even seen snow. Qlder who really enjoys our climate. It just seems like cold weather is a lot of extra work!

[@waterboy181]

As long as you guys are looking at new equipment... have you considered a used Grader for snow removal? I know around here the local authorities put out snow removal contracts for the roads. Seems like the kinda thing that a guy with a mullet could tackle when he is not bailing hay. It can be really lucrative on those years where you get almost no snow. Old graders seem to be pretty affordable at the auction and with the cancellation of the XL pipeline contracts I bet there is cheap equipment to be had. Ask Cole to crunch some numbers. It may be surprising.

[@gerhardrichter8626]

Years ago we had a big snowstorm when my mom was out shopping. My dad and I drove out to find her and help her. We found my mom cleaning off the car; I waved off my dad and told mom to get in the warm car. I cleaned off the car and drove her home. It's the kind of things you do when you love someone.

[@elisebb8423]

Wise words of wisdom for winter weather! I really like your Dad's (and now your) attitude toward kids' accidents.

[@jeffreycrockett6847]

DC that story about the garage door and your dad shows how your father taught you how to be a father to your kids. Wish more kids had a father who taught them how to be one.

[@CindyJoAnn]

You are a sweetheart, Daddy Cornstar. I wish there were more men like you, in this world. I hope a lot of men watch your channel, and learn from you. I'm glad your Dad didn't yell at you, for the hole in the door. I'm SURE that's why you are so patient with your own kids. I wish every man could be like that. I love your channel, and I wish you SO much success with it!

[@tedium37]

Such a nice guy. So glad snow isn't a problem here. Its a rare treat that never lasts more than a day or two.

[@tomb.1972]

Simply Thanks for more good wisdom, D.C.!

[@conniethingstad1070]

my dad is almost 86 yrs old, grew up on the farm but worked for GM for 47 yrs. We would get drifted in often during the winter so he would park his car 1 mile away on a highway to make sure he got to work each day. that meant he walked to his car in the dark in the morning and then the evening. He only missed work a few times over the year when we got blizzards that shut down everything. That farm ethic never leaves a person. I was raised that way (not on the farm though) and raised my kids that way. It's been a good thing.

[@elsbells4841]

Your dad was a WISE man, DC. Good to see where you get it from ❤️

[@kejay74]

Hey D.C.! That story about the fellow painting the living room for his wife...multiple times. The "instant" question in MY mind was, the same color??? LOL! Ken

[@bethfoster6591]

“Chocolate milk goin’ down the old hatchet”...classic.🤣

[@dagmarking3974]

Try going in backwards to keep your glasses from fogging up. We do it all the time and it works for us. Hope it helps. Love watching you and I hope to see more of Mamma Cornstar. God bless.

[@elizabethharttley4073]

When living in alaska we prepped the vehicles for winter. Even tuna can candles for bits of heat. I'd heat that milk for hot cocoa. Bless you dale for looking out for spouse

[@F12Mahon]

Safety idea. Yellow lines de-mark a walkway inside the door where nothing gets parked/placed. Prevents what happened when you came in with fogged over glasses.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

My marriage license with hubs is very clear: I've got the Inside and he's got the Outside. Easy peasy. That prevents a lot of "It's not my job" and "Why do I have to do it?" arguments. lol

I also ran into our garage wall with my father's new Arctic Cat snowmobile when I was around 10 years old. It was beautiful and was blue and shiny. I bent one of the front ski. My father had bought it that same day and let me try it. I don't remember words of wisdom from him but I remember he did not get mad. What great dad. To this day, when I see an Arctic Cat, I remember that day.

[@larrythompson8630]

I always push “at half tank fill up” year round. (Road trips 1/4 tank @300 miles) I lose half my trunk 5 months a year. PAC boots, cold weather gear, blanket. I slept in car -12 below when they closed roads in mountains. Started car every hour. (When I woke up chilled) Toss a bag of tea candles, old pie tin.. Furnace falling behind. Your shop is warmer then my house when temp drops below -10f

[@born2soon]

I used to go to my wife's place of employment (an Air Force dining hall here in Rantoul Illinois) and I would start her car a half hour before she got off work and her car would be melted off and all warmed up. Her coworkers were jealous and said I was spoiling her.

You're a good man DC...........yes, and everything you said is right. The older we get the more more we practice a bit more or a lot more patience. What's the old saying .... "Too soon old and too late smart".........well you are helping a lot of people with sharing good common sense. I had to laugh about the door and your dad showing up when you got the door opened.

Dear DC, I lived in Omaha until September last year, when I got burned out of my apartment and moved down to SC with one of my adult sons to start over. I had lived there the majority of 50+ years. Yes, I was running around in shorts and a T-shirt the other day, and watching the temps my 4 other adult kids would be dealing with, I think they said the high was going to be 1 degree. I don't miss the cold, but I have to tell you, everything down here bites lol. I rake the leaves, and get bug bit. I'm helping clear a few acres (not unlike Cole's farmhouse property), and get bug and thorn bit. I'd rather have the snow than getting bit up all the time lol. Great car safety rules btw, ALWAYS have extra gear in the car for just in case. It's better to have it and not need it than be like the poor guy from Cali. Great channel, keep up the good work. :)
