Raking and Baling Hay in South Dakota

[@garywalters4286]

Uncle Jeff makes that John Deere tractor cab look mighty small.

[@fasteddy3425]

Lol

[@hfff1]

Mystery pooh and sweaty hay chaffy arms? Pool time! We won't tell Tiffany.

[@ryanshull664]

when you had the camera mounted on the accumulator and dumped the bale, I actually turned my head to the side keeping my pov level 🤣🤣🤣

[@charleslynch7274]

Glad u are getting a 3rd cutting for the year

[@dreamingof777]

From @7:50 to @8:29 awesome camera work.

[@scanadaze]

FYI on toilets. The public knows about the bottom wax ring. They don't know about the other one. There is a rubber seal between the water bowl and the toilet seat itself. If not put together correctly and tighten. It will leak as well. Two screws hold them together and must be tightened evenly.

[@johnpierce1251]

If you hook an old mud flap to the hay tractor in the middle it will flatten the mounds of hay out so the baler doesn’t take on the big wads just a thought

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@conradnelson5283]

That was a good one. Cole caught me a couple of minutes z time. No reflection on you.

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

Ain’t nobody riding along with the jefferino in that cab that is for sure !

[@louiswise5959]

Hey thats some mighty fine hay!!

[@LBK69]

First of All - great show! A plead for us non Americans - when you tell us temperatures I would like you to put them onscreen in both Fahrenheit and Celsius

[@melindaburch4318]

And that would help us Fahrenheit folks learn Celsius.

[@filianclips0-b2q]

only 2 minutes in, already starting off with some awesome drone footage

[@alanatolstad4824]

It usually chokes me up, but tonight, it was peaceful (for some reason!).

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video cole thumbs up and shared

[@timharmon458]

thanks for video !

[@mea3665]

In North Dakota lots of bails everywhere round and square

[@henryshaner6483]

Hi uncle Jeff hope all is well we don’t get to see him often he cool people 👍

[@stevenmarsh5158]

I drive all over the country. I haven't seen them all, but I've seen a bunch, and y'all, by far have the best looking herd of cattle.

[@deionsharpe5139]

Hey COLE, where are your GLOVES 🧤🧤🤣😂🤣😂🤣❤️😁😎

[@maggieyake8054]

Those drone shots of your uncle raking are really nice. It’s neat to see what the process looks like from the air (for us non-farmers)! Good luck with the remodeling.

[@gracewashburn8276]

Cole you know that stuff is everywhere on the farm and it doesn’t take long for it to find its way to wherever you might be standing or driving . Do you know that stuffs everywhere on the farm and it happens regularly?😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

9/6/23 Great Video Cole ! Congrats on all your bales! God Bless our Farmers!

[@danfinley3690]

As always fun to watch glad y’all are getting 3rd cut

[@markissboi3583]

Good work cole cheers from Ozstraya

[@dannypittman4766]

All about that first bale...🎶 She's a beauty. She's one in a million bales. One in a million bales.🎶

[@timrex4138]

Great drone work Cole! You are very good at creating content! I just watched the Milllenial, and while I enjoy watching him, you and your Dad are the ones who I enjoy the most and look forward to the next post.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

I think Millennial just lost interest it seems. The Sonne Farms Team always puts out consistent videos and they are most enjoyable.

[@kurt3543]

@@beckyumphrey2626 I don’t know if they lost interest but because they are only crop farmers they don’t have as much contact to show maybe over the summer while they’re not harvesting crops or putting crops in the ground, being for Minnesota I watch millennial and Larson’s also but I do enjoy Sonne Farms the best. We even stopped by storla station and brought them some 5 gallon buckets to use on the farm.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Pretty looking bales there Cole

[@melindaburch4318]

Love how you get your equipment going strong.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Glad yall are.gonna get a 3rd cut alfalfa.

[@scottyscave]

Definitely like the new camera and music with drone. Nice job. Appreciate that.

[@eugeneclarke5572]

Your timing is impeccable. 22.00 in bed on the road at 03.00. Sweet dreams for me 👍🇮🇪

[@pollyturner47]

Love the drone shots. Gives perspective about the size of your farm. Beautiful!

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video Cole. 🚜🚜🚜

[@desertdweller4951]

Glad to see your getting a better harvest from the crops. Hope the corn is successful 🙏 Thanks for shattered.

[@eugeneehlinger2236]

It's nice to see a green field after a cutting and a bailing.

[@pinwizz69]

Glad you guys had a nice hay season. Should help your year end bottom line not having to buy more hay this winter. Thanks for the entertainment Cole.

[@pezter123]

The toilet may be sweating - creating water from the humidity in the air.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

So awesome you are getting some hay. Still praying for rain and cooler weather. Great video. God Bless.

[@allamericanTT7]

Just stopped by to see if anyone said the toilet sweats...

[@stoddern]

It's just hot humid air, after a couple of flushes the bowl gets cold enough for water to condense, drip and make a puddle on the floor

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video Cole. I think we all are putting up with heat. We have been on the 90’s but now has dropped consistently. Seems haying is always hot weather. You did good finishing up the baling. No breakdowns except for putting in a new net rap roll. Believe you said another 65 bales today for a total of around 165. Good going Cole. New knifes in the cutter and ready for tomorrow. Go get em tomorrow. About it I guess. Thanks for everything Cole. The Iowa Farm Boy.

[@bradpogue3448]

Now that is a lot of hay definitely will help this winter.

[@JohnVanRuiten]

Storla Station stuff. Has a nice ring to it. I hope Brian's all rested up cuz Cole is gonna put him to work!

[@nathanrobinson7715]

I would love to see how the round bale starts and then gets bigger. That has always interested me.

[@elizabethbradley7621]

Hope married life is good. Love watching videos.

[@travisjames7201]

Good morning everyone

[@shermgohn]

I had a toilet issue and it was one of the three mounting bolts in the bottom of the tank. The bolt that is right on the curved edge where the back side goes up from the floor of the tank. I replaced the bolt w/aftermarket bolt and thick rubber washer. NO more leaks. Wet floor at base from rear forward.

[@roberthoffman5145]

Thank you Sonne farms!!!

[@melindaburch4318]

Love your videos. Glad I’m not there, though. I’d be sneezing my head off!

[@jzoom5790]

Love all your videos

[@redfox4098]

Love the drone shots

Jesus ty for being good here on Sonny farms and hearing our prayers ty again Jesus :-)

Amen!

[@steveneal2706]

Awesome video Cole. Miss seeing Mr. B tho. Hope they are enjoying their vacation. Thank you

[@LFH-qt8ez]

Great video 👍😁👍

[@dcricket1]

Does my heart good for you guys to see those bales kicked out. Grateful for every one you didn’t have to purchase. We were lucky with small showers for a few weeks there but that stopped quickly. Our county fair starts in a couple of weeks I believe. It usually cools off drastically and fair nights are nice. My husband prides himself in having a lush green yard but not this year. It’s green but just barely. All is can hope is winterizer and pre-emergent gives us a retry next year. He says one more bad year and he’s going gravel and cactus!😮😂🤪. Now we’re going from El Nina to an El Niño fall and winter. The extended forecast for then shows the giant Welcome to Texas sign with heavy ice sickles all over it!! Not a good sign. As flat as we are a 10mph wind feels like you’re running naked wet and most Texans don’t own heavy coats!!🤣🤪

[@OneFieldAttaTime]

Awesome video!

[@teresachase47]

Beautiful video! Thank you!!!

[@hillbillyinpa2317]

Drove by the farm last week on the trip from PA to Wyoming. Was great to be in the area where you guys really do this. Unfortunately, Storla was closed due to labor day. Appreciate all you guys do to keep all of us fed.

[@briansonne814]

thanks!

[@ileenmcminn2062]

do the cattle mind when you swim in their pond?

[@toddfraisure899]

Colt, you and your Dad and uncle are my kinda KZbinrs. Your not pretentious as so many are especially after they've built their channel to money making shows. Keep it up please.

[@darrenpautzke3795]

Thank you for the good video. Hope all goes well with the next cutting.

[@ashlandgunclub1000]

Song of the day, The Who, My Wife. A song you should pay heed of Cole. Party on Jeff, Brain and Pinky Party on.👍

[@jporter504]

Nice video.

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

Cole, Our hay dries out more after windrowing. This fluffs & "opens" the hay after cutting & leaving in tight rows. Air drying! Gotta' love farming!

[@alanjones4597]

Keep up the good work hope your alfalfa does well

[@danielrandolph9170]

Good video Cole and Jeff cool drone footage yal stay safe !

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊

[@ronaldschmidt4748]

131 bales is pretty good. Always appreciate your cattle and haying content. Take Care and Be safe working on the farm. Out

[@damonlasley1]

Check the seal between the tank and base of your camode. I enjoy your channel

[@beufordjustice4949]

Had the same issue with my toilet as you; I even bought the toilet from Menards and it was a hairline crack where the toilet seat bolts on. They swapped it out and the new one is going on five years with zero issues. Thanks for the great videos.

[@SonneFarms]

Good to know!

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB!

[@SbrGrendel65]

Great seeing you make 135 bails and Deere only let you take a half new bailer out for a quick trip around the block. But only let you use it for halfway 😂

[@Selkirk5934]

Had the same toilet leaking problem. Turns out that once the toilet was wet it wouldn’t seal to the wax ring. Drying the toilet outlet area solved the problem

[@imceltic52]

So happy y’all ended up with a great season of haying. I miss the smell of hay 🤓

[@redfish7644]

Not sure it was a “ Great season “ but every bit helps ,,

[@douglas2330]

Cole, hot humid weather plus cold well water results in condensation on the outside of your toilet tank which drips onto the floor, possibly.

[@robertbraker93]

I bailed today with my 567 mega wide in SW Missouri it has bailed close to 5000 bails in its lifetime !

[@wayupnort6271]

Cole, can you quantify how much time the bale accumulator is saving by being able to drop the bales in line vs. having them scattered? I can only assume that it would be hard to go without it now. Solid work! Keep on keepin on! 👍🏻

[@jodyhahn825]

Hope y'all bought the taller toilet. Those are great. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck!

[@chuckyc6912]

Great drone work

[@michaelmcguire3983]

Cole I had the same issue with my new toilet… it ended up being the gasket where the tank connects to the base. Couldn’t see the leak but after a few hours it was wet around the base. Changed the gasket and that fixed it,,,, after five wax rings 🥴😞

[@henryshaner6483]

Was wondering since you and Brian would go live again with a Q&A especially now with many more fans

[@NovoGold]

Cole you said Wax Ring... oh my golly gosh, is Merica left in a time warp, wax rings are so old school. I see how the construction industry does things in the US and it blows my mind. Good old Australia needs to push our building codes into the US. Our systems are so modern and quality is exceptional. Like you said though, I would be thinking either cistern has a crack, or the base has a crack somewhere. Hope it all gets sorted, best wishes from Newcastle, Australia 🇦🇺 🇺🇲

[@SonneFarms]

what do you use instead of a wax ring?

[@tommychew6544]

Glad some timely rains came in for you guys, hope you were able to grow enough that you won't have to buy for this winter. Thanks for the video.

[@fjwrt]

Calves are looking great

[@johnfrederick9632]

We had a 567 and always without fail had to apply talc on top of a new roll of net wrap in the baler. Glad to see you guys don’t have to Jack with that.

[@SonneFarms]

we still do that on the humid days

[@johnfrederick9632]

@@SonneFarms I wondered if ya all ever had to.

[@ThomStevens]

Sorry to hear about the leaking toilet problem. I had the same issue a few years back when replacing an older toilet with a model I liked from Am. Standard. I had to have the plumber back with the leak and we finally located really small cracks in the bowl. I returned it and determined that the new toilet had to me sealed. I coated it (and another one later for a different bathroom) with epoxy and didn't have any leaks. Should not have to do this but it beats a persistent slow leaker wreaking your floor.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Great Job. 👍

[@stevebiddle8912]

Hopefully you get a break in the temps this weekend.. we are expecting one in Oklahoma

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Cole Brian enjoyed your video. Just wondering does your baler level it self off or do you have to feed hay in side to side? Thanks. Have a great day.

[@briansonne814]

we have to level the bale by driving on one side or other of windrow

[@jamesmorrison1884]

@@briansonne814 That's what I was wondering on new balers still side to side.

[@rackets001]

How much do you LOVE your bale accumulator? Seems like a nifty gadget to keep things from going everywhere! Happy for y'all getting rain & grass!!

[@Jack-ne8vm]

6:00 - condensation on outside of toilet

[@matthewcrandall7362]

Check the tank gasket between the basin and the tank on your toilet. It can leak down and make you think the wax ring is bad.

[@williamhills6039]

Cole i have a question to cure my curiosity. How many bales a year do you guys use to feed your cattle.

[@SonneFarms]

hopefully 1500+

[@colorado1088]

If they are all your bales that is 7500 alarm beeps worth.@@SonneFarms

[@jenniferhoppen8549]

Our first fall bale is at 45% moisture and a 94 degree internal temp. It’s getting fed while we wait for the other windrows to further dry.

[@OneFieldAttaTime]

"I don't even know where it's coming from... other than a cow's rear end. 🤣😂

[@michaelw6261]

I like the way you rake ....You roll it all the way over...I see some on You tube that don't roll it over and the baler leaves some because it is stuck to the ground
