PLANTING HAS STARTED!

[@alexdrake9931]

I hear the stories that dad and grandpa tell how they did all their farming back when the biggest row crop tractor JD made was the 5020 with 141 pto hp out the door. Plus, they moldboard plowed and conventional tilled back then. The question is this.. how the heck did they do it? Don't get me wrong... grandpa has a 3020, a 4020, and a 4620 restored from back then and we put them on augers and wagons to keep them in shape and they are powerful tractors but our new stuff can run circles around them. What I'm saying is this... those old boys were hard-core and I got to salute them!

[@anthonyfusco9768]

I wish the Cornstars, a successful and plentiful crop for 2021!

[@KJ-kw7gh]

The Mixmate seems like a really nice unit to have on the spray trailer. Keeps it safer and healthier it seems by keeping you away from the chemicals more so than the old way. More accurate I would think also. I know the Welkers have one, Scott is still figuring it out. And made in America.

[@norm-nas]

Summer does a really good job of editing these videos, fast moving and interesting, good job guys.

[@territ1231]

Oh another season to begin!!! Be careful out there!

[@2kbill]

When Cole gets started with an explanation of how something works, sometimes my brain can't keep up and starts hurtin! Shazzam!

[@leonardsanders8182]

Cornstars you guys are the best farm family I have ever seen you all work together so good your a great family team Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@mikedillon6233]

Truly get a kick out of your family! And it makes me appreciate Farmers all the more.

[@larrycroft470]

Love the Cornstar family. I pray for our farmers often. They are the backbone of America.

[@lisamerrill55]

LOL "Can't find em, grind em"!! My dad used to say that when he taught me to drive a standard. Thanks for the great memory! God bless.

[@davidridgway4705]

Wellgere in Texas we are all planted and gotten some good rain. Already seeing some sprouts.

[@steveneal2706]

I am so happy that y'all are back to planting. I know y'all are.

[@artgirl-zx2jh]

Love that you always take such good care of your equipment and make it last. Your 1981 tractor looks to be in fine shape. My dad down in Waukee always did the same and he took pride in making his equipment last.;)

[@Zebbarooski]

I love your applicator. Much more effective to have the boom on the front so the spray doesn't get neutralize by the dust when you're going 13 MPH!!

[@christinamarie3598]

I really do love DC quotes!! ❤️✌️🙏 It is great to watch how the farm grows ...and the generations that have worked together to try and make it happen year after year. What each generation has to consider for the next ...and working together to make it happen.

[@beverlystufflebeam5731]

My father and my brother have owned their own automotive shops. And they keep them really neat. But I have never seen anyone clean vehicles or change oil and do so much marie me! It’s freaking awesome.

[@MrDenis7p]

Cole the Best Advice I was Given to be a Good Backer Upper was not to look at my Trailer like I was Doing but to look at my Back Tire on the Driver's side rolling along the Ground backwards and just steer it along the path you want it to roll along and do a quick check of the Passenger side mirror once in a while to make sure all looks clear and keep watching your tire rolling on the ground at the back and steer it along! It's the best advice I was ever given : ) Seeds are Red!!! Cool

[@enderkakker6999]

Yea! So happy for Cornstar Farms!!

Awesome so see you in the feilds! I'm excited to start planting

[@jballard3253]

Sable needs to learn the "big rig" now! She's pretty much mastered everything else on the farm.

[@brookszenker8510]

Daddy Cornstar cracks me up! Have a great spring down there and stay safe!

[@CK-dt6nx]

I use to drive truck doing oversize and heavy haul. It's okay because after 10 years of trucking it takes me a hot minute to get use to short trailers like boat trailers. I even catch myself going to make wider turns than I need. Not really a delayed reaction just slower.

[@johns.greene2592]

Excellent show. It's great to see the actual job being done. It's great the way you explain the machinery and what it does.

[@neilmclennan1112]

Hey DC. I don't care what anybody says, you can teach an old Deer new tricks. 😁

[@sandrafinney535]

Video was almost 15 minutes!! 🎉 ❤🌽🚜 ❤ 🎊 THANK YOU! I loved the part of Cole thumbing for a ride. I had to slow the video down as seemed too fast and difficult to understand Cole for his parts but seemed more normal later in the video.

[@karenwright9123]

Way to go,Cornstars,Good to see you back at it,doing what farmers do. Prayers the weather is reasonable this year. Stay safe and well.

[@Cinderdiane]

Daddy Cornstar that is an awesome machine!

[@mindym.1166]

Good to see Daddy Cornstar kick off the planting! As we say here in Indianapolis, GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!!

[@jimmcginty2344]

Thank you all the information, I know how much time it takes to do this. We greatly appreciate what you all do.

[@umomiekiller]

Im pretty stoked to see a whole planting season! I started watching after the wind knocked alot of the corn down last year.

[@debbiputman3482]

Of course you call the JD “Johnny.” At my mom’s we have the tractor and the lawn tractor, affectionately called “Big John” and “Little John.” Of course! I just have my lawn tractor: “Fawn” (because, of course, she’s a baby Deere)

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

Our neighbors had John Deeres. We called them Johnny poppers, because, you know, that's what they sounded like. (We had Farmalls.)

[@thr8061]

We got ourselves a 10,000 gal black water tank (no algae) which is connected to a large water line to automatically keep it filled up. We have a 3" pump we use to fill our sprayer and sprayer trailer. We too love our Paxidyn Mixmate! Our local co-op does the 32% Y-drop and the fungicide applications, but we do the rest.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Wow! So glad you got started! God bless your family!

[@nothereorthereoranywhere]

Daddy Cornstar's stream of consciousness is amazing. That guy is a genius! Must be from all the pizza, pop, and Reese Peanut Buttercups! Plus, we all know Sable keeps everything going anyway.

[@patriciadulguime1576]

Let do some farming I did wave to Daddy cornstar three times and I am so proud of Daddy cornstar today he said that he is hungry he would like something to eat . Sometimes ago I told him never say that he starving when you live in one of richest country in the world . ( I just don’t like anyone saying that when your got food on the table 24 hours a day .SO DADDY CORNSTAR SO PROUD OF YOU see you all tomorrow 🚜

[@michaelschulz4317]

So I see this all the time from people who don't tow much so I wanted to say something here. When you hook up your chains your supposed to cross them otherwise you loose strength if the trailer comes off the ball or out the hitch, its stronger and doesn't allow the tariler to dig into the ground and really give you problems. Also you don't run the breakaway cable through the chain because then it wont activate the brakes if something bad happens.

[@tugaroocrab]

At 69 years old I can’t do 140 acres but I get 80 done, in my dreams.....good job boys.

[@cathiwim]

At 65 i can barely keep 5 acres going, but its all done by hand!

[@tugaroocrab]

@@cathiwim thank god we have “equipment”, mowers, rototiller, weed eaters, etc. otherwise I couldn’t do it. But I run all of it, including tractors. Just planted two half acre gardens by hand.

I am excited about planting season. Whoot!!!

[@CindyJoAnn]

I have NO idea how you guys know how to program and run all those computer programs, but, you do, and it's really cool! I could never do it... But, it would really be fun to ride along with you guys, while you're planting and spraying!!! That would be awesome! I really admire all of you, and Sable, too, for all she's learned already! She's amazing!

[@wendybacon9015]

Cooper getting to use the lights finally! Lookin good. Glad a ride came along Cole. Yay for planting season 2021!

[@sxxkkllmmmclean7894]

Good luck with the planting let's hope we have a good spring! My dad always said this when we was in the hay field I can eat supper after dark!

[@BatchelderPatrick]

Ah darn. Won't be much if any work on the house for a few months. Cole, in your spare time, call the County Extension Agent (County Horticulturist??) and ask them to look at the trees you want to keep. Really a professional job to trim them so the grow right the next ten years.

[@terrystephens1102]

It will be very interesting to see the yield rates this year - you’ve invested very well in technology 😃👌👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@JB-gz2vu]

The technology saves input costs and makes them more efficient. You can get the same yield with 50 year old technology.

[@briancady1892]

Cole, I see you wearing rubber gloves while filling the sprayer. A face shield is a must. Its a good habit to use one. My father inlaw lost eyesight in one eye and damaged his eyesight in the other after getting splashed in the eyes with no safety equipment when he uncoupled a cam lock hose coupling. My brother who served in the coast guard always says they don't give out new eyes in sick bay.

I can't help it. Every time I hear Daddy Corn Star talking I hear the voices of the 2 old guys in the balcony on the Muppet Show. Not snarky like the old guys, but I can't help but hear their voices.

I sprayed 32% pre for our customers at the coop in eastern Nebraska. I wore a high flo 3" pump out on my rogator 1300 B in 3 years. It's only $3K if I remember correctly. Like you said, even if you wash it off each night it will rust itself into a pile by 5K hours.

[@johnferrier2803]

Looks like auto steer on mechanized farm equipment is the first practical application for autonomous cars of the future. The practical application of science and engineering in modern agriculture is astonishing. I wonder if the farmers in the 19th century could ever have imagined such possibilities. What will farming be like in 50 years? Will completely autonomous farming be next? Will aspects of farming from planting to harvesting be done remotely by operators monitoring and controlling equipment via satellites from control centers miles away from the fields? From what I see happening in this video, it’s not hard to imagine that this will be possible in Cole’s lifetime.
