We’ll park it in the trees and we will never speak of it again- Brian wisdom!

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Look at that hay! So happy for you all, may every farmer and rancher have a great year. Thank you.

[@markpayne3029]

Good Lord has Blessed the Sonne Farm. Great first cut. Can’t wait to see the alfalfa yield. Thanks for sharing!

[@sandijammes7761]

What a fabulous 1st cut. I'm so glad Sonne Farms looks to be in for a great season. Prayers that it holds till winter... for crops & livestock. America needs its farmers & ranchers to have a great year. 🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸

[@garylollman5339]

Ya Ho look at all those bails. Thank you Heavenly Father for blessing this farm and farmer.

[@dalewadsworth5703]

The bunching of the hay is a pain Yes but also an indication of bountiful harvest . Hearing the results of the number of bales cut and stacked sounds like a blessing. Best wishes to you Cole and Brian.

[@kelly-annejenner486]

It’s good to know that all the prayers I’ve been sending up for the right hay weather for you to get have been answered! It’s been a tough few years for you I know that and when it comes good like this it must be such a relief for you and you get some better sleep. Sending lots of love to yourself, Brian and Uncle Jeff xxx

[@KrazeeFoxx735]

So Happy to see you guys put up so much hay after the past several years of buying to make up for shortage.

[@Rob89139]

So glad to see the hay coming in this year it's been a while since it's come in that lush. Let's pray it continues and the corn and bean crops follow suit. Love watching this channel

[@trotva]

It was a great idea to get that 2nd baler tested and ready. As you said, you don't want to find out when you need it that there are problems. Hopefully you get it all straightened out soon. I will say the same as everyone else. Very glad to see the amount of hay you guys are producing. I'm sure it's a load off the mind of your family with the good crop. Hopefully it continues the rest of the season. Stay safe.

[@rickdeboer1313]

Rain makes all the difference! A blessing from the Lord!

[@Nancy_S68]

I love when you explain how things work. Thanks for showing how to adjust the rake.

[@arthenry498]

Looks so good to see all that rich green going under the cutter and then into the baler!! Hope the next cuttings are just as plentiful!! Great video Cole, you really manage to get the best views of the operation. I really enjoy your camera placements. Pretty darn good editing too. THAT makes or breaks a video. (usually broke mine)Thanks again guys. blessings on you ALL

[@mindym.1166]

So happy for you guys that your hay yield is looking so great! You deserve a good year after all that ditch hay you had to bale last year!

[@bettiewatson2949]

Praise God that all the rain this year has helped the crops. 👍

[@aletheaglenn6656]

Congratulations on your great crop and making it home from the casino with your shirt is on your back. Good luck for the rest of your season.

[@prima164]

Close the gate and disconnect the hoses. If the door stays closed it's the tractor scv's leaking, if it opens it's the baler cylinders leaking.

[@bryankeator8396]

Glad to see you guys have a good crop. Happy for you. You guys deserve it. Keep on chugging along. Have a good one guys

[@bryankeator8396]

Ps. We leave those old jd s in float. Keeps the door on bailer closed

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks 👍

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Cole. It was interesting and enjoyable for sure. Congratulations on your great hay crop!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!! I am really pleased that you are having such a wonderful hay crop. That is great compared to the last couple of years. Just makes you feel good to see all those bales you and dad have in the field waiting for pickup. Yeah!!!!!!!! Sorry that smaller baler you just got isn’t working real well. Knowing you and your dad you will get it figured out and get it running well enough for a backup piece of equipment. Hang in there with it. Good to see Sonny and Allie. They play good together. Sonny is really growing. You are really moving with your hay mower or it appears that way. We never had that kind of unit. Guess I did not realize you could move that fast s and have it cut as good as it does. Nice piece of machinery. You and your dad and uncle Jeff do extremely well with your hay crop and the associated machinery. My compliments to you!!!!!!! Your drone shots were just amazing. Thanks for doing that Cole. Produced some great photo shots. Glad you and your wife had a mini trip to Deadwood and still had a few bucks in your pocket-ha!!!!’ Nice to get away once in a while. About it I guess. You and dad take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@stevebiddle8912]

I couldn’t be happier for you guys. It’s a long time coming but you’re going to have a great hay season. I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more!!

[@KevinElliott-y2t]

Watching you guys cut, rake and bale leads me to believe God is smiling down on your farm.

[@b2617]

That's silly. So when they have a bad year is God frowning down on them?

[@thejohnobrian]

​@@b2617you are silly 😂

[@desertfarms2997]

Great tonnage. You can see the look on your dad’s face. He’s thinking about how many more cows he can buy and feed this coming winter !😃👍

[@paulprigge1209]

Yeah people don’t realize that backgrounding fattening out cattle is a real art. Sometimes you lose sometimes you win big. Takes a Person with special talents know when to buy and sell

[@allenchristensen2354]

It’s good to see the Lord is blessing your family

[@davidobrienirl]

We do square bails here on my farm in Ireland. Easier for us to stack in a barn. Our bailer 50 years old still works better than the newer versions. Great numbers on the bails, Cole.

[@markprice1984]

I am so, so happy for the Sonne Farms! You guys sure deserve a good year.

[@WaylenScofield]

hay looks good. we arnt even done haying yet we have been getting a lot of rain so they are pritty wet hope you get the hay you need and have a good day you guys. also it has been raining for the past whole week. hope you get some rain too.

[@JudyJudyJudy44]

The sky behind you in that opening ... wow! Just beautiful.

[@adamsherm29]

After last years debacle it's awesome to see a complete 180 for you folks. Too much is always a good thing.

[@sheilasantiago3715]

One of my favorite things about you guys is that you plan ahead. I've seen so many channels that wait until the last minute to do something and a problem occurs. Why? If you KNOW something HAS to be done by a certain time, why freaking wait until the last minute? (not really a question, just stating facts). I'm so glad this is an epic crop year for you guys

[@codyvermeulen1610]

Speaking as a farmer it’s typically because you have things you think are more important as per say getting the balers ready and then it’s to late and you just pretty much hit the key and what’s gonna break is gonna break

[@michelletauson2867]

Wow, what an amazing crop! You so deserve this!

[@PaulRachey]

I've watched your videos since you started. I can't say how much I look forward to each new one and must say you do a great job with your videos and content. Grew up in dairy farm country in Central Minnesota so spent some time helping farmers with field work, raking, bailing etc. I went a totally different direction with my career and am now long retired. Don't take this as anything negative but you might refer to Tiffany by her name. Thanks and please keep safe and keep the content coming.

[@steveneal2706]

Awesome video Cole and Mr. B. Thank y'all so much

[@Chuck-Guyitt]

Surprising what a little rain can do.

[@hastyhillfarm]

No rain for 3+ weeks and going in our second week of 90s in VA, today 6/22, 98 degrees and no rain in the Forcast. Happy for yall

[@alanjones4597]

Hope you get some relief soon

[@asquithmainlines699]

Well the good news is you won’t have to bother with any ditch hay this year! Hopefully you got it all in the yard before that rain. The second cut will have enough moisture as well.😅

[@jamesr4900]

How was the Ian Musick concert? Did he sing Leather? He wrote it and his producer convinced him to let Cody Johnson record it!

[@SonneFarms]

Yes he did! Gave that story too

[@barbtaylor1619]

WOW that's some. BIG hay!!! Sweet! so glad you are having a GREAT hay year!!

[@Libhater-PP4PM]

God bless Sonne Farms 🙏 ❤

[@valorieritchey1254]

So glad you got all of this cut and baled before the bad rain!!

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!! Hope you and the wife had a great time!!!

[@mnbednar8071]

That one thistle was a cactus. 😂

[@davidkimmel5153]

Great Hay Crop. Wonderful 😊

[@craigwavra3495]

Glad to see you guys getting the number of bales up in count!! Enjoy the videos!!

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job guys keep on trying and don’t give up the American way.

[@ahkiv6127]

Great video, Cole!

[@meghanplamondon8639]

Counting your blessings this year for sure! I love the comparison of stats from last year- really puts it into perspective. ❤❤❤

[@paulamurzin867]

You guys are amazing, and Dad’s a comedian!

[@jasonwoods3384]

glad to see you guys are having a good hay crop, remember to thank the lord for that

[@kennethbrown8723]

Do you blame the Lord for drought the past few years?

[@lstone.09]

Someone sounds way to happy. Awesome video Cole. Glad to see the yields are finally up. Just hope you guys get a bumper crop on everything else this year. Enjoy the weekend. 🚜🚜🚜

[@beckyumphrey2626]

God is great. Awesome hay provided..

[@billdonahue4345]

Pretty cool to go from bailing ditches out of necessity to reducing winrow width happy for you guys

[@robinghunt]

Great to see an amazing year for the hay. It was tough to see you all last year struggling. I can remember every smell of hay season - absolutely loved it.

[@eileenslusarczyk6256]

As much as I dislike all the rain we are getting here in Minnesota I can relate to seeing the smiling faces of all the farmers. This has to be one of the best years in some time. Good for you all!! Now if you can just keep everything running. Happy for you Sonne farms!!! HUGS!!! Love the new puppy!!

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

HI to all three of you guys that grass is definitely tall can't wait for second or third cutting in those fields

[@LanceBailey-iu9vo]

Yes. “Big Old Hay” is a good problem to have. Lots of finished bales of Hay

[@dstuff1782]

I had a chance to go by Storla on Thursday, stopped at the station, got a t-shirt. I was told by the guys inside I had a “strange”load on my trailer. They did ask me if I was hungry said they had some pizza leftover. I thought you had some Sonne farms merch there. I told them I was one of the KZbin dorks. Enjoy your videos, beautiful area where you live.

[@briansonne814]

haha one of the dorks, thanks!

[@shanelewis3564]

Hey Cole when that hay wraps like that you should replace the double v belt that runs the conditioner and lower auger. We have to replace it every year or we keep doing that. It won't always look bad but when the Belts start to look like 2 belts or it has been smoked a couple times it is shot.

[@MrTonyharrell]

Remember last year y’all were baling right of ways and ditches.👍

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Thank you Jesus. Damp spring always makes a huge difference in dryland hay production. Have enjoyed watching your channel for years. Kansas boy here born in NE corner 40 miles west of St. Joe Missouri.

[@GOLDKW-bl4gp]

Congrats on the hay so far. Imagine buying hay in the winter is like burning money. Price goes up profits go down.

[@jendix1984]

Yay!! I think the drought is behind you guys finally!!

[@brentbina8581]

Well deserved harvest. Very happy about it vs last years struggles. So nice and you all deserve it.

[@tommathews3964]

Great to see y’all flush with hay! I bout cracked up when Dad said “We’ll park it in the trees and never speak of it again!” You’ll get it right! Send us some of that rain here in Bama, we’re burning up! Corn twisted up tight, even the cotton is struggling, and it never struggles!

[@danamelby4090]

Great hay crop!

[@josecramer5769]

"Park it in the trees and never speak of it again"! LOL. Love it, we've all been there. Maybe beside the bunk cleaner? Great looking hay, congrats.

[@sharonm3677]

Awesome video. ❤❤

[@kathleenclark291]

So happy for your bumper crop. Awesome seeing bales, bales everywhere!!!❤😮😮😅

[@williamnoonan6366]

We Have the same baler and same issue with the tailgate. Make sure that the tailgate shuts all the way and we periodically will hit the remote to close the tailgate as we are baling. If the tailgate springs open will baling it will lock the baler up.

[@dennisdole1764]

Big rows of hay is great 😊. Blessings on all your endeavors ❤

[@gatorsadventures2298]

Thanks guys.

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Soooo nice to see all those bales!!

[@SbrGrendel65]

Wow those hay fields look lush with grass. I can only imagine they looked like that often, long time ago when people where looking for land out west to settle on. You guys probably will be able to sell some Hay/alfalfa or fill the feed lots full of cattle and fatten them up!

[@oliverstacy]

So happy to see this video, was waiting for the this season and what it will bring! After the last 3+ years of low rain, I'm excited for you, your dad and Jeff! The rain on your IG post, the next cuttings should be the same.

[@thomasstrand9853]

Man that is nice you guys deserve a good year you shouldn't have to buy any hay for this year

[@richardlaurent7229]

Glad you all did well a few years of that will be good for you

[@stevekegerreis1962]

Really good to see such a huge cut the first time around this year

[@michaelgriggs-lr9gh]

Great yields. God has surely blessed yall. 😊

[@alaskandawg929]

Been watching the weather in the last 2 days 7 inches of rain...what was your total their?

[@johnbucklerfarms]

That Milwaukee Knife is a life Saver in the Field! I remember carrying a Carpet Hook knife!

[@jamesmarsh4957]

so so good to see the really big crops this year your baling its so needed for you , nice you had a little break away too , was so interested to see the other baler going , hope it gets sorted out and we see it going again sure you will get it working

[@NickVanRooyen]

Greatest haying operation I have ever seen! Keep it up.

[@letzrockitrite8469]

That's a beautiful day !

[@markbuell6740]

Nice to see your having a great hay field season compared to having to buy last year.

[@thomasgraham1138]

Good to see you guys getting some good rain and a good crop for once. It seems that most of the farm channels I watch across the country are doing much better this year. Hopefully La Nina conditions stick for a while and you can get much needed moisture for a couple of seasons!!!!

[@520Steelerfan]

Ahhhhh Saturday morning big breakfast and Sonne frames. Gmorning Brain and Coal!

[@Redmapleleaf113]

Not to sound mean but I'm so GLAD you're plugging up that baler!! Means you'll have plenty of food for those cattle.

[@markyoull6744]

great crop im realy pleased for you both

[@SirWhiteRabbit-gr5so]

Last year my neighbor made five cuttings of alfalfa, and this year's on-track for five more. Usually three or four is typical.

[@oldtimefarmer3405]

Also those new hollands the latches leak down when sitting always open and close before starting to bale

[@melindaguyer9424]

Love the Ian Munsick callout! We saw him at Red Rocks and wow what a show!

[@SonneFarms]

Awesome! I bet that was fun! His family band was the opener for us

[@bignick8363]

We use a roofing blade for your utility knife. That roofing blade has a hooked end on it and makes cutting net off rollers a dream. I guess roofers use these blades to cut shingles

[@wilycat5290]

Glad you two had fun in Deadwood 🎉. Thank you for the video 😊

[@austinlee1785]

I’m a mechanic and I work in new holland balers for a living and I see this a lot there’s a check in old johndeere tractors on the remote if you switch the hoses around you won’t have a problem with the gate coming open

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

So happy that you are making lots of good hay. It's also very promising that the alfalfa is already growing back.

[@robertbraker93]

My 4230 does the same thing, I had to keep tapping the hydraulic lever every once in awhile to keep gate closed but my 6420 no problem

[@raymondhorvatin1050]

Thanks for sharing that's quite a hay crop

[@francrawford3246]

Holy Wind Rows! So happy this year has turned out as great as it is, you needed a break.

[@dcricket1]

Glad you had a great vacation. My husband’s Mother and family are from Sioux Falls. We took a long vacation up there a few years ago. Enjoyed Deadwood. My Mother-in-law most definitely had a South Dakota accent but she had been in West Texas for 50 years. She had a combination accent that was just adorable! She also had some very different words for things. Sometimes I was like…what??? Not that Texans don’t have an accent!! 😂

[@calebnicley754]

Had the exact same problem with a JD 4430 that wouldn't run my baler due to not having enough hydraulic pressure to keep the tailgate latched on the baler. At the end of the day I ended up putting it on a newer tractor and the baler runs great.

[@Charles53412]

With all the rain you have been getting loos to be paying off very well. Hope it continues as long as it doesn't become to much rain.
