Hey! Glad to see you making some good hay! Hope you get some killer corn this year good luck and thanks for sharing.

Those butterflies looked awesome flying off that alfalfa. Sonne Farms is still the best KZbin channel. Thank you.

Thanks Janice!

Yup, I've dropped all other farming channels but Sonne Farms & Griggs LLC. I just don't have time to watch the others.

[@denault3985]

Cole is a really busy guy, farming and photographing all day plus editing all night. I can't believe he delivers content every other day, more then any other farming-ranching channel...

[@TjTaylor4706]

I’m pretty sure he has a bobcat attachment for editing

[@timboslice3755]

Border View Farms posts nearly everyday if you want to check them out too! Very informative channel.

I'm happy for Sonne Farms. Mowing lots of alfalfa for winter feed. Congrats Brian and Cole.

Brian you were correct in the first pronunciation of "Verve". As always another great song of the day!! Stay cool 😎 ✌🏼

[@mollytheda9273]

So enjoy watching the “backwards” tractor cut alfalfa. You all do such smart economy with bale hauling, too.

Congratulations on getting a quarter of a million subscribers from around the World. You are doing things right. Great camerawork. From two followers in the UK.

I’m not a roofer in Texas, but haven’t had rain in 68 days, no rain. It’s like living in Hell. Your refreshing post are wonderful, God I wish I had your job👍🤪🥵

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!!

[@jdschini]

You never cease to amaze me Cole with how many different camera angles you are able to capture on video. All the while you are working hard in very HOT conditions to get harvest and chores done. This third cutting hay crop sure looked good. I hope you have enough now to make it through this winter. Thanks for making and posting another great video as always. Have a blessed weekend!

[@SonneFarms]

Wow, thank you!

Cole, at 8:54 you gave me a haircut with the mower. I got a flattop buzzcut now. I thought for sure your camera was going to get shredded. 😱

This day will be remembered when you are feeding hay this winter and it's 50 below wind chill!!!

[@stevebiddle8912]

So glad to see you got such a great 3rd cutting. Looking forward to seeing you get it baled. A break in the heat should be on the near horizon. Have a great weekend.

[@darrenpautzke3795]

I was watching you call cutting the hay and it made me think of the blessings and the good Lord watching over you guys. Awesome drone footage again good music in the background. Great song of the day Brian. Certainly with all the butterflies. That was pretty cool. Keep up the great work.

[@brianmclellan7001]

It's nice to see the monarch butterfly again

[@andrewmoore3491]

Thank you for taking the time to spread the fly stuff on the cows. A lot of cattle owners would not do that but you guys do that and that’s excellent farming in my book.

[@margelittleboy]

As always you knock it out of the park with excellent quality on your videography & editing, but even more so on how, as a family, you share the work and get it done, ALWAYS looking out for the best interest in the animals in the process! I do pray the mystery of the leaking toilet has been resolved on your bath remodel. Does sound like the bowl is defective from comments read, which does not surprise me. (Every job has its challenges, even making toilet bowls has an art to it & one small mistake can cause the issues you have been facing. Better to change it out now, making sure it comes from a different production line & date, give it a try.) God bless all your family!🇺🇸🙏

@Sonne Farms congratulations on the collab with “This’ll do pig farm”. I will order from you both!!!

[@barbaradawnmeyer2013]

LOVE your channel. Excellent video content. Feels like we are right there in the cab with you. Please don't scare me by putting your hands in to clean out the hay chaff on your last video. I get it, but you are to precious to your family and everyone else to have an accident! Great looking stylish bull calves. Great to have an excellent fly control system, and the very handy adjustable wagon hitch. Sorry if I missed it, but what is the story on Ellie's puppies? Also, great to hear you are taking the middleman out of your lively hood. "Angus Beef by Sonne"! Almost forgot to tell you how delightful it is to see your beautiful governor speaking at the rally last night! Prayers for your continued success!

[@jamessparks2691]

To finish the story, butterflies, baby rabbits and meadow larks were everywhere. Totally good experience. Glad your alfalfa is heavy this time. Everyone needs a break right now.

[@AdamWeigert]

We just finished up 3rd cutting in western NY. 2x yield over 2nd. Took forever to dry as we've had so much rain this year but good looking hay.

[@paulprigge1209]

From Northeast Missouri I appreciate the update. Tri-state area Illinois Missouri Iowa. Corn was started last week testing for 24% in our area. Going on two weeks then. Some quite a bit it’s not ready. Another week and a half

[@marciaanderton7068]

I like the drone vids and the beautiful prairie shots are wonderful.

[@briansonne814]

ehh

[@TinMan0555]

That is some fine lookin hay👍🏻. And a great choice on “song of the day”….. that’s one we all hear as background music in the elevator, but don’t know the Band or lyrics. 🫡

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I just watched a short about an organic dairy farm and they're not allowed to used fly spray like you guys do, so what they do is run all their cattle single file under a fly vacuum. It sucks all the flies from the top and both sides. They run them through 2x per day. The video said it's not as good as chemicals but it does give them some relief. Interesting.

[@colorado1088]

In the real old days cattle used their tails to disrupt flies.

Ellie is the star! Nothing smells better than fresh cut alfalfa!

[@alanatolstad4824]

I hope you folks got some of the rain showing on the national weather. Folks in Texas never seem to get a break.---I had feral tomatoes growing, each year a few would get past me & the winter rains would germinate them. I had 2 great plants until the tomato hornworms moved in on the one, & the gophers discovered they liked the taste of the roots...just lost them both a few days ago.---

[@jamessparks2691]

All the butterflies remind me of when I was 13. My grandpa farmed with horses. He had a light stroke that summer. I mowed his alfalfa behind a team of horses. Absolutely my best working memory. The alfalfa was so easy to cut compared to grass hay

[@hugeblue]

9/9/23 - So glad for the rain y'all got . Hay looks great! Great video Cole. Great drone shot!

I feel there was a missed opportunity on the song of the day... may I humbly suggest In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly? 😋

That is going to be a lot of alfalfa bales. Great job.

[@rdyardie]

You are still getting those hot temperatures. I can recall when our daughter had her wedding in Oklahoma 25 years ago, it was 105 on her wedding day. We had to cool down the van for 30 minutes when we took the chocolate coated strawberries to the church for the church reception after the wedding. It was hot. We are from Calgary, Alberta. . . . so watch the chocolate on your strawberries. 😮

As my old buddy Jerry McBride said one day when we were spiking ties in 100* heat..."It's not the heat. It's the humility!" 😂 Lots of humility at Radnor Yard in Nashville. They used to derail cars once a week.

Our son (1.5 years old) is obsessed with all things haying and especially round bales. Thank you so much for all your videos - it's a lifesaver when he can't be out in the field with dad and grandpa!

We had a similar result with our hay, we only did two cuts, but the second cut is a little better than the first cut. We did get some good rains with the warmer weather which gave us a better yield from the first. Your hay is a nice stand and the cattle are looking nice. Once again some really fabulous aerials, great views. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

The butterflies are not surprising due to the flowering of the alfalfa. It is a good nectar source and makes a good honey.

Way to hustle Cole! You guys got the major work done before the worst heat came by. SMART!! At that temperature the heat just seems to come up out of the ground and hit you in the face.. I used to love driving the roads around Ellsworth and north and east of there. Most of all any were in the Black Hills. Rather EVERYwhere, in the Black Hills. That wide aerial video was super Cole. It showed the magnitude of the field real well. AND it really emphasized the patter of cutting. I also like seeing the different camera angles ON the machine. It is interesting. Thanks again for another great documentary. STAY safe. That heat will kill you if it gets the chance!!
