You don't know it yet, Cole, but you are going to look back on these moments many years from now and be very thankful you started this journey. I wish I had simple videos of my dad and I having these same kinds of conversations. Priceless.

[@martybr2]

Fresh grass clippings has to be a tasty treat for the cows. Made me smile.

[@galehallock3436]

I noticed when you fed the cows your lawn clippings, there wasnt a fly to be seen. Great job caring for your animals

[@byamrcn]

Face shield sounds like a real good idea, especially being outdoors in that Great Plains wind. Terrific drone stuff this time, nice going.

[@douglascampbell7006]

Love the drone shots of cutting the hay!

[@rosaolbera8768]

Wow Cole you and your dad are very hard workers I really enjoy watching your video please stay cool outthere and I am praying you all farmer's get Rain

[@jandyg]

As a certified welder. I’ve heard you mention that you use Argon 100%, when wire welding. Try 75/25. 75% Ar, 25% Co2. It will give you better penetration and a flatter weld. Just a suggestion. Not trying to tell you what to do by any means. Thanks for the videos, I look forward to them all. Hope all are well and safe.

[@arthenry498]

Lookin at all them hopper grassers drug out some wonderful memories. Memories bout 65 or more years old. Memories of grabbin and stuffin those buggers in a mason jar and takin em out to a pond and tempting a bunch of fish with them. Trade those dang tobacco spitting bugs for fish fillets!! All summer. Good ole days!! Don't remember the sun burns!! The drone shots are superb!! Brought memories of my school books explaining contour plowing!! Our area was so flat it was not that much of a change. Looked pretty neat on your video. I really enjoyed it. I was pretty sure that oil leak was NOT a error by the welder!! LOL Thanks guys, another wonderful video that I enjoyed a heck of a lot. Stay safe, guard those eyes (and your butts). Blessings on you ALL!!

[@TT-ih4rt]

Cole is really lucky to have Tiff on his side. Cole married up. That’s not a bad thing.

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Glad your eye was OK, thanks for the video, always fun to watch.

[@billwhitman1529]

Cole, there is a reason why we set in the pew on Sunday. Farmers know that the weather and much of what we deal with every day is at the hand of God. I'm sure you know this because I am reminded every time I watch a calf or foal being born, the only description is miracle. The more I see the more I believe.

[@chrisoconnor5880]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JudyJudyJudy44]

They like grass clippings! Cool! Thanks Cole. May God continue to bless ya'll as you look toward harvest time.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Getting some more hay cut. Yeah. Looks pretty good. Nice and thick. Good call to let it grow some more. That virgin grass area is tough to cut. Lots of turns and holes and obstacles to watch out for. Beautiful area through. Neat having the deer stand there. Sorry to hear about your eye Cole. Glad you got it looked at and got that piece of rust out of there. Nice eye dr to do a Sunday. About it I guess. Thanks for the drone footage. It was interesting watching the cutter do that virgin grass area. Lots of turns. Thanks for everything Cole. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@elizabethnewell1689]

Thanks guys always love the drone footage….hope the eye gets better soon Cole

[@SonneFarms]

thank you

[@ronaldschmidt4748]

Like the haying videos. Giving clippings to the cows is some feed for them. Always appreciate your videos. Take Care and Be safe on the farm. Out

[@lauriej9418]

You all drive those tractors with lots of precision. Like a well oiled machine. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks 👍

[@archiegeorge3969]

I always wondered if you fed the grass clippings. Now we know!

[@koryleague8833]

Great video. We used to dump our grass clippings in the hog pen

[@anneoreilly4900]

Love the fast mowing! And feeding the cows the clippings. Too funny.

[@gracewashburn8276]

Good Lord, what a way to train your cows, Minute you mow your lawn they come running😂😂😂❤❤ God bless you cole tell Brian I said hello and enjoy the bailing you’ll have to go help pick the The bales up when he’s done bless you both stay safe and West safety Shields

[@cleroyster2610]

Brain, you continue to amaze me with your musical knowledge. Would love to hear some teenage stories from you and music.

[@cleroyster2610]

Did you play an instrument?

[@sclivestock5943]

Cole in regards to the crack. Drill at the end of it to prevent it from continuing. Great vid as always. Nice drone work. 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I once had a cast iron chip fly out of a machine, and it went behind my safety glasses, bounced off the inside and into my eye, where it embedded. When I couldn't stand it anymore, I went to the ER and the doctor said I had rust from the chip in my eye. I could not believe it. From that time forward I wore goggles. A pain in the ass, but I don't give AF. I value my vision too much. Then I found some glasses that have a foam gasket all the way around each eye piece. It forms a seal that nothing can get thru. Little less clunky than the ol' goggles.

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

Some times mowing can be tiring and sleepy but not in a curvy field like that. Love it!

[@thebulldogchefs203]

Glad you’re ok. They have some unique safety glasses that almost seal around your eyes. We used to call them Batman glasses.

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

Your problem Son-ne is you need a bigger machine to straighten out those lines. With those sides mowed, be less snow drifting across the roads.Brian, That was a great investment in that 10acre shooting alley. Really pretty!

[@raykrv6a]

Great video Cole. My last to Rhodesian Ridgebacks died of cancer that originated in the spleen.. Vet is convinced that weed killer in lawn fertilizer can be a factor. So i don't use week killer for the whole yard, just spot kill the weeds. Glad to see you got some solid rain amount. Can't wait to see the corn and soybean harvest.

[@davidstakston1950]

Cole, do you have any birdhouses on your fence rows on your farm? What eats grasshoppers and flies? In a drought year noting is wasted, grass clippings, road ditches and how about a cover crop where you've stored your hay over Winter.

[@rlwoods61]

When I was in my teens, my dad insisted that we catch the grass when we mowed the lawn (you can do that when you have 3 sons) we would dump it over the fence to out neighbors pasture where they had horses. Grass would be gone be the next day! Free Feed.

[@johnthompson982]

Always a joy to watch and listen Cole and brian Nice to see that you're getting more hay done weather its ditch hay or field hay every bale counts If you could get that man that done a demo with the drone sprayer it would make a job of them grass hoppers Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Is that the same god that’s gives children bone cancer,

[@alanatolstad4824]

Have you noticed ANY abeyance of the hoppers since you started spraying?---Yep, in farming "things get different"! And it's been a real privilege watching your day-to-day operations, since that's the only way I try to imagine the farmer's actions around the ND Farmstead.---Oh gosh, there come the waterworks.---That sped-up track mowing sure gave me a chuckle!---Pavlov in action!

[@darrenpautzke3795]

Hey call, I can certainly relate to getting metal in the eye, was on the road in a green hauler truck and got a piece of metal in the eye. I had to do a hospital emergency room run. Glad to see you were able to get into the fields no metal anyways just holes. Great job you guys. Thanks for the aerial shots always like that. Take care. Good luck, Godspeed.

[@texlongone]

The long shots of the deer stand were beautiful! A pain in the posterior to work! Keep on!

[@andrewl7467]

That bin of corn looks amazing, no cobs or stalks stuck to the walls. You guys do a good job harvesting.

[@LauraDittman]

Good morning/afternoon- You did a good job on welding , just one of those things. Love to see Ranchers/Farmers working their lands. I'm not worried that you don't have straight lines! I care about your survival and your beautiful cows/calves and your beautiful dog!!!!!

[@DoubleD.]

I'd never heard of the song of the day, I went on KZbin to listen to it. You are so lucky your eye injury was minor, from the way you made it sound, but so glad you're putting it out so ALL can benefit from your advice in a face shield. I loved where you were cutting the weeds and grass around the house and farm, nothing like a good-looking place to live and work. I love it when you fed the cows your grass clippings, easy meal indeed. I bet they would let you scratch their heads too.

[@roberthoffman5145]

Thank you Sonne farms!!!

[@rogerembry4777]

Over the last 40 years of pipe fittings, I’ve probably had a ton of metal in my eyes, wearing protection gear lol 😂

[@maryannardan4159]

What a nice job of cutting the field. I just mowed our acres of land and did sort of the same pattern. Nice job getting feed for the little ladies and their MEN!! Best of luck with all you both do around the farm!!May God bless your machinery so it stays up and running. Say hi to Elly.🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

[@dalegereaux1863]

Great drone shots ! 👍

[@t.bunker2511]

We had a real dry winter and early spring here in South Jersey, but the recent rains have spiced things up. My neighbor has already made his third alfalfa-cut across the road from me and likely will make a fourth-cut this fall. Usually your lucky to be three cuttings and the grasses go dormant in the August heat. This year the grasses are thick and green....but the corn is already starting to turn yellow. That's early...

[@judymetteer308]

I enjoyed the drone view of you mowing the field.

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Enjoyed the drone footage. Take care of the eye. Pray for a speedy recovery for you. 🙏🙏 for farmers and ranchers around the world.

[@gatorsadventures2298]

As a young lad I was woodworking, and the router tossed some stuff over the top of my safety glasses and into my eye. Felt like I had a tree in my eye. That stuff sucks. Stay safe and keep 'um coming.

[@norman7179]

Mono goggles are not pleasant to use but they give the best eye protection. Safety glasses and face shields don't give all around protection.

[@SbrGrendel65]

The ladies thank you for fresh cut Haylage! Have you guys ever chopped your grass and stored it to ferment like you do your corn? Glad you’ve gotten some rain, it’s been tough in some areas where no rain and too much rain. Farmers need the right amount

[@phyllishalley8972]

The drone footage was awesome... ty!. ❤🙏

[@debinbc]

Sure glad he seen you on a Sunday, my sister is legally blind because her I lids shut her eyes so she can't see (there's a really long word for it) always take care of your eyes sending healing prayers for you Cole and prayers for your family and Tiffany 💕 it can be mighty scary for both of you 🙏💕🥰🙏💕🥰 god bless you both🙏💕

[@earlyriser8998]

nice drone footage and glad you got your eye checked out ps love the green storm thumbnail that was an awesome looking storm

[@sueatkinson919]

Hope your eye is better soon cole xx

[@jeffreyjohnson8212]

Thanks for sharing your day with another great video!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

So Cole, you sound like me, changing plans seems to be the most frequent thing I'm doing now-a-days. Well, I hope your eye gets better. You have to do all the hay you can with the season like it has been for sure. I think we're going to cut hay tomorrow, we need about twice as much as we had, good luck on your hay. Loved the aerials, thanks for sharing, have a great week.

[@trotva]

I was just wondering if you ever feed the house fresh cut grass to the cows..... Question answered. Great job.

[@Husker3435]

G’job guys, Cole take care of your eyes, y’all take care 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

[@josephmelson7591]

Awesome video Cole get two bags of cheap potting soil and get some fall deer food plot mix seed and put that in a few of the wet spots or bare spots out buy that deer stand.i recommend the forage oats the turnips and clover for your late seasons deer the turnips of you can get them started know deer will eat them to the ground come fall and stay around your stand and not go to your nabors..

[@MarkSmith-on5gg]

we used to plant sudex on dry year we baled it with just a small AC roto baler the big baler would be perfect it made lots of good hay for the cows and calves you guys might think about it we cut like hell on it got several cutting of it

[@homey3051]

Thanks for the updates

[@robertgappa5828]

Beautiful drone footage!! Thank you very much for sharing.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Always a great video.

[@bettiewatson2949]

Beautiful drone shot !😍

[@denisedenomme361]

Love the drone footage. Good job.👍❤️🇨🇦

[@prjndigo]

You want a full shield with a battery blower that has a basic filter - you can get them very cheap. Try to get one that you can put old socks over the filters as a floss pre-filter.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thanks for sharing

[@pdrphil8159]

I love that tune with the banjo... Something about it is relaxing.

[@imceltic52]

Such a beautiful view looking out over the fields, thank you for sharing

[@danfinley3690]

Love the drone footage so clear always fun to watch y’all

[@wayupnort6271]

Excellent song of the day! Both versions are good but I like the Wall Flowers version best! Good work Brian!👍🏻

[@T.H.E.Racing00]

Sugarscoop welding hoods are nice because most of them have a flip on the lens so you have a clear lens for grinding.

[@bonniek3985]

Enjoyed your discussion about the native prairie. I would guess that such areas are rare today.

[@davidobrienirl]

I use welding goggles. Provides a great seal around your eyes.

[@jdschini]

I am so glad you guys finally got some good rains. Hopefully it was in time to boost your corn silage crop a little too. I am looking forward to watching your fall harvest videos. Thank you for including some beautiful drone footage with background music. Those extra touches are what makes your videos so fun to watch. Have a blessed rest of your week!

[@steveneal2706]

Awesome job Cole and Mr. B.. really looks good. thank y'all so much

[@RichardGill-pt8zk]

Glad you’re all done with ditch hay😳, it was rough to say the least! Hope you all have an easier end of summer and fall harvest!

[@danielrandolph9170]

Good video Cole and Brian & awesome drone footage & when i had a couple cows they knew to come up when i cut the yard i windrow the thick stuff & rake it up & feed it .Stay safe

[@bradsellnow3665]

Thats the best clean bin I’ve seen on KZbin

[@wearewildwoodranch]

Those native grasses might be a really nice not quite pure alfalfa quality feed. There’s a lot of volume too.

[@clintonlehmann4369]

Most ranchers know you never cut native grass even if it looks good. It to hard on it

[@wearewildwoodranch]

@@clintonlehmann4369 I think our idea of grass differs

[@randy6650]

Enjoyed watching the video Cole and Brian 😊

[@donlochner4858]

Am glad to hear the July and august weather improved so you might have decent beans and sileage! Thanks for the drone footage. Hope your eyes are ok. Given the circumstances I thought a song of the day might have been one by "Metallica" 😉

[@LFH-qt8ez]

Great video 👍😉👍

[@janetwolfe1394]

Love the drone videos.

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Great drone footage Cole . Praying for speedy recovery on your eye . Brian you had great instincts for good properties at a young age. Always best to have more’n one or to plans to fall back on like ya’l did this year.

[@ericklingele661]

Cole - enjoyed this video!

[@dennishill3463]

Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀

[@rdyardie]

My father was a welder and an Industrial Mechanic. He taught in Saskatoon. One day he caught a small piece in his eye while grinding. He had a shield on but some teeny tiny piece landed in his eye. He is no longer on this earth because of prostate cancer. . . . Take care of your eyes and ears. You will need them for a long time. By the way, I found the video showing your dad cutting hay so peaceful. Thank you.

[@user-zv4hx6ok4b]

Thanks for the video's

[@heatherjohnson6722]

Have a great day!

[@keithfrazier2558]

Nice to see you giving them the fresh grass clippings. Every little bit helps. Too bad you can't do the same around the yard you use the bobcat for. Imagine it would be a lot of extra work, but that much more free feed.

[@norman7179]

Thanks ! The drone footage is always great ! 👍😊

[@SonneFarms]

thank you!

[@donnaparrish7638]

Wish I had time to respond to song of the day. Glad you got some rains. It has not down here. Hot, too many people coming across, too many kiddos without. Thanks for sharing. Storla Station

[@cathiwim]

That is the CUTEST house! You did a great job!

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you

[@gerryaustin8687]

Beautiful

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you

[@austinmoe433]

On that new holland mower you can replace that module that’s leaking. Every cutter bar module is meant to be replaced. There is spacers inbetween. Just need to unbolt and slide the cutter bar down. An end one is easy, a middle one takes a little work. I wanna say the last brand new one i got was $800. Reman was $600. Just need to tell them what model and if it’s a left or right turtle. Least the cutterbar looks like the same one on have on my 13 ft mower

[@charleslynch7274]

That's pretty cool u feed the cows your grass clippings

[@pennynealeigh6557]

Maybe some time when you have baled and have fill dirt on hand you could fill the worst of the holes. And flag the rock pile. A lot of the weeds are quite nutritious, probably do dry slower. Enjoy your videos !

[@TheMr9fingers]

That is a wild field that Brian was mowing. Is there a reason it has not been turned into regular crop land. It is interesting how cows know mower running means fresh grass it was this way at Mother in-Laws place when there was Cows there

[@rdyardie]

Seeing that buck run out reminded me that my hunting partner and I were drawn for a few deer tags in Alberta. We have Chronic Wasting Disease in some provinces in Canada. Last year we had to get rid of a whitetail buck after it was discovered that it tested positive. That is a pile of work to find out it was positive. It was cubed ready to make deer sausage. CWD apparently stops at the Canadian border. Go figure.

[@paulprigge1209]

One of the blessings of my illness is it quiche be humbled Help me keep my eyes on my Lord. Not able to sit in a few on Sundays but I am there for praise fellowship and worship. Listen to The service on Sundays different room so I can be comfortable. Also find it very rewarding to give more than I receive. Apologize for my sermon and not having versus but you know the verses if you’re in the Bible. God bless

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Cole Brian. Enjoyed your video. Yes that field very rough. Cole you may have had some grindings on your hand and wiped in your eye but yes ive had glasses on and still got something in my eye even with a shield. Take care have a good day.

[@williamhills6039]

Thats a double down on mowing and bagging your lawn and feeding the clippings to the cows. They probably appreciate the fresh cut grass and your yard probably looks well groomed

[@revtoyota]

We are the same way on my farm in AK when it comes to chemicals, anytime we want to kill anything weed wise we just get 45% or higher vinegar. Dump it in a sprayer and go nuts on the weeds. Anything it gets sprayed on will be gone in a few hours.
