[@williamchavanne2249]

Call I am not a farmer but when I started watching your KZbin I have learned so much about farming and you teach very well and I grasp things that you say better than some other KZbin farmers keep it up and you’re all very educational and very good mechanics I definitely enjoy your KZbin thank you

[@redbovine]

I’m setting in my recliner in NC. Our state is 80% done with corn. Bean planting is ahead of average. It is just wild how everything varies from area to area.

[@BarbaraCJ]

You are so wise for your young age that I am amazed every time.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

I live in the Southern San Joaquin Valley of California where farming is big business. I learn so much from your channel. These day I can understand some of what they talk about. Thank you. God bless you all.

[@Angieboyd11]

Great video. This spring is slow to warm. I appreciate learning what goes into keeping the soil optimal for years to come. Your Corvette and meeting space, break room will be so nice once it gets completed. Good job Cornstars.

[@GardenerPhyl]

I’ve been watching your channel since you were ‘Cooooollllllle The Cornstar, a 21 year old farmer’, and I think this was one of my favourite videos. Thanks for being you - an authentic Colestar.

[@beckystancliff7274]

I'm alway amazed by the amount of planning and work it takes to get things done.

[@michaeltablet8577]

I thought I knew how farms work but you have enlightened me to so many things I didn't know. Thanks for teaching us! I have watched every one of your videos and I'm still excited to see the next one! God bless you and yours!

[@nanagram13]

You guys are great. Love Daddy Constar's blue top hat!!

[@ThorbjrnPrytz]

Doing the science and understanding why and planning for how to do make things better is important! There are so many factors in making things grow optimal, and you need to be on top of all of them to maximize your potential.

[@organbuilder272]

Another journey into the details of farming. A peek inside the decisions to be made to make the farm better, more profitable and likely, easier to manage. Thanks Cole for taking time to tell about your ideas. That cabinet in the garage(?) is beautiful.

[@thepom572]

The more Cole and the other FarmTubers can inform/educate us and the wider public on how hard/risky/expensive and downright hard work farming is to produce the food on our tables. The more (I hope) people will appreciate them and understand what they do for us. Without the likes of Cole and family, Welkers,, Zac MNMillenial Farmer in the US and Tom Pemberton etc in the UK, millions of everyday suburban/city folk would have zero idea of what goes into and where their food comes from. I'm lucky that I come from aa farming area and from a family with farming links(Butchers/meat trade) so I have some idea of the struggle.

[@justthings6405]

You have to work the soil in the fall to prep for the spring---that corn field you were looking at would have been uniformly dry instead of having corn bedding with frozen ground because it wasn't somewhat buried and conditioned properly. The early planting is 75% right year after year..If you are going to optimize yields, you have to put the time in with fall's work!

[@dalegereaux1863]

I think you are very wise to study the soil charts because if you're not always improving things you're going backwards. There is so much more to farming than we ordinary people will ever know. Thanks for teaching us some of it !

[@nephrine]

Cole thank you guys so much for the entertaiment and a much needed escape. On april 14th 2022 I left driving my stepfather to breakfast ., and 1/4 of a mile frome my house a tree fell on my car killing him instantly. I have had a hard time sleeping and working and just day to day. I can always count on you guys to take my mind off of things. I hope that everyone that watches you on youtube will hug family members every day and tell them you love them ..we are not promised our next breath...thanks again

[@mikaelcarlsson3981]

Hi Cole I'm from Sweden and we only grew oats, barley and whete. The thing I noticed was that the earlier we did the planting, the higher yields we got. We only had 100 acres of black soil like yours but still it was a very clear connection. Kindly Mikael

[@carlozippi2569]

Thank you Cornstar family. I work with farmers, however I don’t farm. You help educate me and I use the information to talk with my farmers in PA and OH. Much appreciated

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thank y’all!

[@joevano]

Welcome, welcome to all the newcumbers!!!

[@AB-ol5uz]

curious why y'all don't plant cover crops in the off-season to help replenish- healthy soil is covered (attracts worms, healthy biodiversity in the soil, etc.). I would be curious to see if spraying worm casting tea out in the fields before/after seeding fertilizes it.

[@tugaroocrab]

That’s not possible with large acreage.

[@jeremiahparkhurst5244]

It is possible on large acreage there are farmers in Australia and Canada doing exactly what AB is talking about

[@AB-ol5uz]

@@tugaroocrab They have the sprayer they use to spray nitrogen or other elements so it's just a matter of spraying fertizilizer/compost tea (diluted compost) or worm casting tea(diluted worm castings). They make an enormous difference in residential gardens (professional and home consumption). Mono crops deplete from the soil without adding to it so it's up to the gardener/farmer to offset that every season or shift to multi crop. If you haven't seen the documentary Biggest Little Farm, I highly recommend it. It's a commercial farm in CA that had basically become a dust bowl - and changing the way that replenished the soil, as well as planting an incredibly diverse set of crops led to a highly productive and healthy farm - and when he shows the aerial shots of the commercial mono-crop farms that surround them, it becomes very clear how important healthy soil really is.

Never have a complaint about any of your video's. I watch a few families on KZbin love them all but my Cornstar family is number 1.

[@loislewis9900]

Love the hair cuts, guys. Soil building.....sounds like the permaculture guys.😍 I grew up on a dairy/cash crop farm. Lots of natural manure to replenish the fields. Loved the corn cob mulch for the flower beds. And when the cows were in the front orchard/pasture they did an excellent job trimming the trees and eating the apples and pears. One summer was very wet, the corn grew like crazy and we filled those silos. The weight of theirn squeezed and compacted the corn chop. Fluids eased out from the bottom drains.....and cooked in the sun......whereupon I saw happy cows staggering around very tipsy. Life on the farm has its funny momments.

[@Fightdog]

I love how Cole and the family are such good stewards of the land.

[@TheMr9fingers]

Cole there is many parts of farming and they have changed over the years and data of yields and understanding them is important.

[@thomasyerbey337]

Cole I always enjoy watching your videos and how The farm is doing I 🇺🇲

[@gungadinn]

I live in an area that is high in limestone. In order to get my little garden and lawn to produce, I've spent over $1k in chemicals the past three years to buffer the pH and to insert Iron and Manganese, as well as potash and nitrogen. I finally saw an improvement in yields for sweet corn, pole beans, and tomatoes. Next year, 5 acres of sweet corn for the local farmers market but each acre planted a week apart.

[@denp54z]

Should have brought in some top soil and mixed it with peat .

[@wendymorrison5803]

Today you remind us about oreparation, planning, and making things better for the furure. Your willingness to address the farms needs far beyond yourown lifetime is the stuff rural schools need to demonstrate every season. No farmers, no food, no clothes, less fuel.

@5:36 If you turn those fans in the background on high you might dry out the ground faster.

[@lukedesselle2491]

Were getting really hot and dry already this year, we had to quit planting beans because we ran out of moisture, and the early planted corn is now about knee high but is starting to roll up pretty bad in the late afternoon already, we've got a small chance of rain Sunday, then the forecast is hot and dry for all of next week, thank God for crop insurance 😆

I wonder if any of the companies making round steel grain bins have tested one in a wind tunnel? About 10 years ago I built a scale wind tunnel to try to measure the wind resistance on a model of an F150 with and without a topper on it. The fan I had wasn’t strong enough to be able to measure anything noticeable. I even had an ounce scale connected to an L shaped piece of cardboard. It was a fun thing to do. It would need a really strong fan to make it work.

My grandpa always had a tried-true method to tell if the ground was warm enough for planting. He'd pull down his pants and sit in the dirt with a bare butt (not around us, o' course). If it was uncomfortable after a few minutes, it was too early.

Young people can learn and accomplish incredible things. Unfortunately for the most part we send them messages that they are immature and most likely victims of some nebulous nonsense so they don't go seriously challenge themselves.

[@CDFCaptain93]

Usually, the weather in California is farm favorable nearly all year round. However, one year in the late 70's, a violent spring storm came in at the end of planting season and dropped a record amount of rain and hail in just one afternoon. The end result was that thousands of acres of planted cotton was now under water. When the ground dried, it left a hard crust which the seeds could not push through. All those acres had to be replanted at great expense.

[@toniasalways]

We had better weather in March than we do now.

[@ILGuy2012]

I suspect some nefarious billionaires are messing with the weather in hopes of creating famine. One of them even said he plans to release tons of chalk dust high in the atmosphere to reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the ground to combat climate change. This could explain the cold spring weather here in the Midwest.
