Restoring My Great-Grandfather's Old Abandoned Farm

Edward made his debut ❤ Cole and DC, the farm is looking good. The hard work is worth it. Thank you for sharing. Cole, you made a good point about coming back and dealing with the obstacles. I’m in the midst of my own and I need to keep the promise I made to myself to finish my project.

[@shawna2boys716]

Just to follow up, I faced my obstacles and finished my project. Thanks for the gentle push to get her done!

[@maryhelvey8841]

It was nice to see the Cornstar women. It's a good thing that you finally wore your hat. Full sun can be brutal. You did forget your gloves, protecting your hands are just important too. Eddie is a cutie pie so is Ellie. Sorry about Cooper's accident but he's tough. Big thumbs up on the clean up. I enjoyed watching the video

[@susancorvalan6765]

Iowa is the backbone of the country, supporting us all. Thanks for not selling your heritage and for restoring it to glory!

I agree 100%!! You are very amazing Cole, but so is your whole family! Seems like Cooper is always able to fix stuff, and Dad knows just about everything. And then there are the past generations. So glad you created this channel to let the world know how hard farmers work and how smart they have to be to feed the rest of us.🏆

[@joanoflondon]

I walked the farm of my great grandparents in Western Canada. They were homesteaders from Ukraine. I know how you felt working the land. I felt my family were there as I picked wild flowers on the land they raise their 13 children. I pressed them in my album with photos of my 2 great aunts whom I heard some amazing stories of their childhood on the homestead. Thanks for sharing ! 👥🇨🇦

[@devilschild]

I love this. I wish more people would clean up their old, abandoned farmsteads.

Did you hear that it cost them $100,000 to clean it up.

well Edward certainly explains why videos have slowed down quite a bit now being about once a week instead of having 3 to 4 videos a week. Congrats Cole on becoming a father and also congrats to Nave as well

I think we all knew that at some point we were going to see a little one. What a debut. I love him, how lucky he is to be born into a piecr of American heritage, This will be a fun journy, hold him close, as these next 15 yrs will be gone in a blink. Congratulations on another fine video. We are glad to meet Edward. Be well.

[@mariel9385]

Congratulations Cornstar Family! While you are restoring the land to be used for crops, I sit by my computer screen and marvel at the amount of work required to achieve that end. No one could ever say that farmers are lazy. Every member of your family puts blood, sweat, and tears into the farm. You are building a dynasty for your family's future!!

[@Luanne_Ashe]

Cole and Cornstar family, I just wanted to say how much I've appreciated watching you work and progress on goals through ups and downs and hard times and disappointments and great days. I gave up TV in 2008 because the content just was contrary to my personal worldview and I couldn't stand it anymore. Then my Dad died in September 2019, followed by my favourite uncle in February 2020, and I missed their "handyman-ness" and work ethic and family "glue." And here you folks are on KZbin, and you've given me a wholesome entertainment option, as well as insight and knowledge to all the parts of farming life that I never got to see with my own farming families .... Appreciate you so much. Hugs to Daddy and Mama Cornstar, to your brother and Nava and baby Edward from Norfolk County, The Garden of Ontario, Canada.

[@ssimpalamark]

Cole my Grandfather Ronald Pruett Farmed and bought sold and trained mule teams for farmers for most of his life . My father and his 4 brothers 😊plowed with mules from age 12 . Thanks for reminding me of what it is like to really EARN. A living

[@jillnewhouse2712]

I think it's wonderful that you are able to share this with your Great Uncle! You should get some photos taken of the 4 generations together as soon as you can. That will be something you can share with not only your children, but their children in the future! It's such a special thing for that many generations to be able to work the same land for as long as you have.

[@stevehennessy3588]

I started watching your channel when you were working on the house. I love old houses and watching them getting restored. I'm no farmer, but I love watching the channel and seeing everything you are doing. I've even used your saying - Nothing to it but to do it - many times. thanks for letting us into your life and watching your dreams become reality one project at a time.

[@meredithchapman2009]

I am so excited for your family. I have watched you from day one. You have grown into such a wonderful young man.

[@meffran5598]

I was raised on a farm, many years ago. It brings back so many memories. My dad, his dad, and my brothers, nothing like it.

[@robramsay5761]

Been awhile between videos, but 6200+ views in 35 minutes says something. I can see Edward out with you, Cooper and DaddyCornstar sooner than you think. Great start to your family!!

[@michaelbrown-tf1so]

Speaking of humbling, I watch you and Larson Farms all the time. While I love every moment of the farming, what is even more spectacular is the love and compassion all of you live. True blessings, one and all.

[@michealthiel1690]

How close your family is just amazes me. I hope your family always stays that close and that involved with the future generations! Thank you for what you do.

[@budlvr]

I've said it before! Cole could easily have a very successful career as a Life Coach; the chunks of WISDOM he intersperses in his videos are worthy of a listen. He has this amazing talent of bringing a story to a lesson that makes so much sense, AND THAT is a TALENT NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE.

[@pamelairvin3164]

What a fabulous transformation!! I've been checking the KZbin daily for a CornStar Farms update; so grateful the delay has been due to time well spent at Uncle Orland's. You have every right to feel sentimental working this plot of land: every time you're on it, you're literally building another legacy layer for your family on top of Great-Grandfather's investment!!! Oh, and Little Cornstar is a cutie with the biggest eyes!!! Blessings!!!!

Incredible transformation guys / gals.... I would say to anyone who has not followed along since the beginning to go and watch some of the first videos. Cornstar Farms of yesterday looks like a completely different operation. Thousands of hours of hard work and dedication from all of you is paying off Big Time!!, Can't wait to see how much more productivity this brings. From the first videos where you struggled outside with all of the challenges of just finding a way to get things done to where you are today is truly amazing and I hope you all are as proud as we are of seeing the changes take place. And as always Thank You for bringing us along on your journeys.........

I also have an issue with being a night owl and working late and getting up early; I'm working on changing that. Second thought, have you ever thought about using those large rocks to line your driveway? Might keep the trucks from driving over your grass. It's also a great way to reuse a nuisance for farmers but a nice landscaping look. People pay for large rocks for their landscapes.
