I was a commercial pilot for 40 years before I retired and every time I flew over and looked down at the farm pastures I was amazed at how you folks drove such straight lines when working in the fields. After your explanation of auto-steer I finally got it. That’s incredible technology.

[@paulprigge1209]

Lol I don’t think they had Auto steer 20 years ago. Maybe not even 10 years ago a lot of places. Could be wrong

[@meaninglesscog]

I love that you are able to spend time working with your dad and actually being able to document it. Not to be a downer but years from now these videos are going to be treasures. You and your dad remind me of when my dad and I used to work on remodeling and handy man work back when I was in high school and just a few years out. Would give anything to have some videos of us working together. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us.

[@fhbbi]

"Knee high by the 4th of July"! When i farmed as a teenager, my tractor didn't even have a roof! my hat kept the rain off. Ask Brian about those days! Hehe!

[@1striperon]

Great content. Drone footage with enjoyable music. A great farmer, Brian, explaining his decisions. A young farmer explaining the impact of dry weather on crops. Keep it up, guys. I so enjoy Sonne Farms video.

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Praying for farmers and ranchers who need more rain, or less rain. Awesome drone footage and music, keep healing.

[@denisemskewes6787]

Came across your channel this morning about 6:30 . It's now 11:30 pm. I have been binge watching your channel all day. I have learned so much from you and your dad today. Most people don't have a clue where their meat comes from and what it takes to get that meat to their local store. I'm 70 years old and I always say, you're never too old to learn. I love the very special relationship between you and your dad. You can see just how proud your dad is of you and that you not only respect him because he's you dad, but respect him for the farmer he is. I love the way you and your dad banter back and forth. Your dad is so funny. Take care of that knee young man.

[@briansonne814]

thanks for your interest Denise.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed

[@thomasmeyer1365]

We have been grateful that we have had some rain here in the Texas panhandle so we are doing alright with our crops. We keep on praying for rain, hopefully you guys get enough rain to keep your crops growing.

[@JudyJudyJudy44]

Cole ... if you ever wanted to provide a relaxation video you could do one of 15-20 minutes of just drone footage with some of that wonderful music. Planting, rolling, spraying, haying, harvesting ... with some cattle in the grass or at the beach thrown in for good measure. Thank you 😉. God bless you and all your family on this Independence Day weekend. 🇺🇸

[@nancysonleitner3598]

I agree, JudyJudyJudy44! It would be perfect for relaxation.

[@barbcoleus]

Brian is such a good farmer. Years of experience. Love that drone footage of nice straight rows. We will gladly send you some rain we may have a hurricane.

[@briansonne814]

That is so kind of you thankyou.

[@carterblann2290]

Heck ya over here in Kansas. Finally are having a great double crop year. Lots of rain. Hay is good and crops are amazing

[@cgarrand1]

Good to see you're coming along after the knee surgery. Wishing you the best

[@dalegereaux1863]

Cole, remember in elementary school math class and they taught us to reduce our fractions ? 40/100 = 4/10 ( inches of rain ) You can't be wasting all those zeros because they're worth something. Oh wait, 0 equals nothing, nevermind.

[@BrianGLee-bc7hj]

That would be 2 /5ths

[@dalegereaux1863]

@@BrianGLee-bc7hj you are correct. My mistake for using what the TV weatherman use. They're not even always correct with their forecast. 😂

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

As an Australian I can sympathise with the heat + no rain. May you not get the floods that follow here. Hand feeding cattle and destocking is a hell our farmers face too often.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Great video Cole,Brian,and Ellie.I hope that things are going well @ Sonne Farms and that your knee is improving.

[@catlincarrell165]

Happy 4th of July everyone. God Bless y'all

[@aprilcollins5313]

I would gladly give you half of the six inches we got in the past few days here in Kansas City, Missouri area! We are glad to see some sun for the holiday weekend. Prayers for rain out your way.🙏

[@hildabailey2670]

You all have a beautiful farm and I love watching you cut the hay and build it

[@katherinecalderon50]

Happy 4th…prayers for rain. From Texas The Lone Star State 🌟

[@maxobara1496]

Hopefully you guys are getting some much needed rain!!! Really love the drone shots, shows how big the job of the day is! Cole your healing, and your not a turd. You are doing what you can and Dad appreciates that!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@lbarney56]

Here's to rain coming soon! Drone shots are fantastic and the music is good! Have a beautiful and safe 4th of July weekend!! God Bless Y'all 🙏🙏

[@lestki]

Cole, about your singing. Ahhh, don't give up your day job. :)

[@MLOCharmer]

Brian I heard from my friend in Montana that the Dakotas got blister beetles and the hay yield was ruined. She didn't have any yield in hay and she is trying to find hay for sale. She said the price has doubled. She also said people are having to sell their livestock to slaughter because they either can't afford it or there is no hay to buy.😔

[@timgilchrist3065]

An old farmer told me years ago that you don't plan for crop disaster. Like Brian saying swing for the fence.

[@wilsonfutrell1833]

Always enjoy your videos, but don’t enjoy the fact you need rain. Been there, but it’s like you all said, you can’t hold back due to uncertainties that may change tomorrow. You have to be all in. Praying for rain for you and all who need it.

[@rogerembry4777]

Man that thing is cool, I wish I had one, I don’t even cut hay lol 😂

[@isacshephard5021]

I’m located in west central Oklahoma. I just started laying Sudan down today. Rotary swathers are bad about getting everything in the window in light hay. Just remember light hay slow the blades down and drive like crazy.

[@mossfamily2000]

Here in central iowa we were/still are in a bit of a drought. Got some shots of storms a week or two ago that helped tremendously. South eastern Iowa having flooding and west Iowa in severe drought. Just goes to show how much different it can be from one side of the state to the other! Crazy

[@plankface]

Coles walking and talking stride would go great with “Sunshine” playing in background. He’d be dancing LOL 😁

[@barbtaylor1619]

What a Beautiful site! God sure makes some land easy on the eyes as you get your work done!

[@davidhardaker7957]

Every thing looks like it's going good, getting stuff done your not over doing. I think every body is wishing for rain. Great video, take care waiting for the next one.

[@Dave-nc2wh]

I want to wish the entire Sonne family and all Americans a Happy 4th of July! God Bless!

[@SonneFarms]

Same to you!

[@barbarabeagley6650]

Here comes your rain, July 5th! I hope that you don't have any damaging storms!

[@mikewhitman830]

Getting better and taking the PT seriously. Good in ya! You and Brian are like the Odd Couple of the farm world. Haha!

[@bethnichols2875]

I find something satisfying about seeing the drone footage of the rows in the fields. Heal well, Cole, and bless you, Brian, Jeff, and the rest of your family for all you do.

[@artanalbania8584]

What an awesome relationship between father and son. Always a pleasure to follow you guys God bless

[@terrymyers4040]

There is another cup holder behind the buddy seat, the buddy seat also folds down so you have a little tray.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. Was interesting and enjoyable. You are doing just great with the videos. You cannot do all yet and we understand that. Just do what works for you and we will adjust until you are ready for action. Glad to hear your doctors appointment went well. You are doing great I think. Hang in there. Your new spreader is working great. All your adjustments seem to be on the nose, working great. Cutter is wonderful well also. Auto steer is very accurate, do good going. Thanks for your time to do the video. The drone shots were great. You all take care and be safe. Bless all of you. God Grant you some rain. All for now. Iowa farm boy from years ago.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Cole, things are getting bad in Saskatchewan as well. We have been under a heat dome for the better part s a week now and high temperature records are being bested by quite a few degrees. We were close to + 40 C ( 103 F ) yesterday with no rain in sight for the next week. It is only a matter of time before the crops planted this year are lost due to lack of moisture.

[@wingslevel]

That was a nasty week of heat. Check out Ice Age Farmer. Total manipulation on the farming industry

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

very informative video.. love all the drone footage.. still amazed with the tractor going on its own.. that's a Maine girl talking. someone who has never seen the flat plains for the Midwest. we have been dry here too. finally got some nice rain yesterday. went from 90's this week to 50's today.. that's Maine weather.. glad you are doing better with the knee..

[@OldePharteWoodworking]

We would be glad to send you some of the deluge rain we have been getting in Upstate NY,

[@dalegereaux1863]

Great video today ! Don't worry, they never look lame.

[@claudettehernandez3402]

If Your singing is good enough for your lady, don’t fret- it will be great for your babies

[@peteschiavoni]

Thanks for sharing Cole. I pray you all get rain very soon!!

[@nancysonleitner3598]

Hey, Cole, it is fine with me if the video is of the you or your dad in the tractor spreading fertilizer. It’s so amazing to me who the machines work. And your explanation of why you do what you all do educates me! Thank you for sharing your work to feed the country!

[@steveneal2706]

You are lookin better and better on every video. Keep doing your excerise and you will get thru this. Thank you for the video.

[@ronvera]

I wish we could send you all of our rain from the Gulf Coast close to Houston, cause we are sick and tired of being sick and tired of rain. MOF, It's raining right now here.

[@mshafer2006]

Been sending prayers to all the farmers that need rain. Hopefully some of this rain from Florida makes it way North for y’all.

[@josephrodgers3119]

Thanks fella's, Ms. Ellie.

[@jeanhorne5893]

Thank you Cole and your Dad for sharing everything. I enjoy watching you and your Dad .God bless you and your family today and always.Have a Happy 4th of July.God bless you.Cole take care of that knee.

Praying for rain for you and all the farmers. Thanks for sharing. I truly enjoy your content.

[@peggooo]

drone footage n that music soothe my heart. 🙂

[@michaelg.5862]

Great video, always enjoy the drone footage. Listen to your doctors, don’t push your knee too hard. Praying for your recovery.

[@JeffreyStrader]

3 applications of 14-0-0 Urea coated Nitrogen (ONLY if rain or irrigation is applied shortly after) or a nice Lightning storm. Lightning creates Nitrates that helps the soil.

[@dnotso4574]

Nice explanation on the urea applications. Risk and life cycle of the plant. Keep educating us !!

[@barbarastedillie1336]

You prayer warriors out there, send up a quick one for Cole and Brian...doesn’t have to be long and involved, just a quick ‘please send rain to these hard working farmers’ type...Cole, I LOVE these vids! So don’t put yourself down. You’re letting us into your life, your entire life, and I for one love that! I’m glad you’re healing well!! Keep ‘em coming!!

[@joshlockhart6292]

This makes me hurt seeing your battle with no rain. Hopefully by now the rain situation has been resolved. Sending prayers for all the rain you need

[@jba36420]

Cole, glad to see you making such good progress 4 weeks out of surgery. Keep up therapy, and don’t do anything stupid to impede your recovery. As usual, drone shots are my favorite.

[@JC-uq5gi]

Hey... be careful Cole. My daughter was conceived about 4 weeks after ACL replacement. Hahaha. You're further along now, so it's probably too late, if the advice was gonna do you any good. Lol.

[@geraldfelchGoose]

Thanks guys

[@tomcurtis197]

Another great video and drone footage! Glad your limiting your work. It takes time to heal properly, be patient, Cole. It took two months of PT to get my back stronger with no pain. The muscles had atrophied from not moving as much, through the pandemic. We had to go slow as to not tear a tendon or a ligament. It was hell, but, it's all good now and I appreciate the PT advice and instructions. Do what they tell ya, you'll be much better off! Ellie looks good, as always!

[@done7631]

I think you did a real good job on what the fertilizer does. Keep up the good work this is my favorite channel.

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!

[@deborahwhite9331]

In Oregon we used to irrigate with big boom sprinklers. Some use the pipes on wheels all through the fields. But we did irrigate the fields.

[@Larry-325]

Listening to you guys I’ll stop winning about my own stupid little garden! I hope when we all get the rain we don’t just get dumped on. That happened here in Maine short time ago and took out roads and bridges! Glad your knee is doing better Cole but you should have used the time on the couch to perfect your vocals! 😃😂🤣 👍

[@sethwells5266]

We were supposed to get rain all last week, yeah didn’t happen. We got about a quarter inch all week if we are lucky. Rain went north of us through Michigan and they ended up getting flooded. Rain went south of us and they got some nasty storms. Could’ve used some rain but maybe it was a blessing lol

[@davidjr4019]

Yes we did

[@kathyk479]

Corn knee high by the 4th of July! Lol

[@lauriej9418]

Thanks for sharing. You all are great people. God bless.

[@danawalker55]

You are one of the most ambitious persons at your age that I know. I enjoyed the drone footage as always. Best wishes on your recovery. Thanks for sharing!

[@rebeeccaborne]

That's cool. Hope you heal quickly !! At least you have the big toys to get out on.

[@lisajohnson7056]

I hope you get some rain. As always thank you for sharing. Love my farm family.

[@danfinley3690]

Love the intro about the rain awesome drone footage

[@margelittleboy]

Glad your knee is coming along! I had total knee replacements to both knees & the relief was immediate and amazing. I’ll keep praying your recovery continues rapidly. Don’t overdo it though, you will only hurt yourself & your recovery time (sorry, that’s the nurse in me😊!).

[@Jeremy-eu9em]

Just had the hay fields cut on Saturday due to all the rain… raking and bailing this afternoon.

[@rmedlinnc]

Praying you get the rain you need. We're blessed here mid NC so far. Farmers are gamblers. The Lord is able to bless.

[@lindamoeder1681]

We will try and send some of this Okla rain up your way. In the last 6 days we've gotten over 10" here in OKC.. and some areas in the state receiving well over a foot. We'll keep some and send the rest on to you!

[@nancysonleitner3598]

So true! It’s been scary how high the rain gets in the streets- up over the sidewalk!

[@bigbudw5093]

Nice. I just got off of running our W235/500R header for 7 straight days knocking hay down. Dry up here in Montana too.

[@richardsnyder9271]

North West Ohio is getting enough rain to get by and a few spots to much at one time. 5 to 6 inches in 48 hours.

[@lauranicholas3914]

I live in a state that irrigates all crops. If I lived in a state that relies only on rain, I would be biting my knuckles all growing season. Good to see that knee getting better.

[@CLEARVIEW666]

Every year during Hay Cutting we would bet on how many cat tails would get cut off. We had probably 20 Feral Cats that would come and go to various farms. One year my grandfather counted 6 cats who jumped out of the hay with no tail.

[@barbarabeagley6650]

Here comes your rain, July 5th. Hope you don't have any damaging storms. It looks like it has an area of hail from the radar.

[@hugeblue]

Hope you get your Rain soon !! Take it easy on the knee Cole. Chas.,SC

[@kountrytiger1999]

don't feel bad Cole you gotta get that knee better plus you're getting out doing what you can praying y'all get some rain up there soon.

[@lorinaw3001]

Don't rush it - what you are putting out is just fine !!! Have a wonderful day

[@ToyotaPete]

👍@Sonne Farms Thank you for what you do

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks!

[@sunnyday5621]

Add in the 100 degree temperatures and the low rain, it is not promising. From SW North Dakota, we have been getting a sporadic 1/2 inch, about once a week. Just enough to keep our heads above water. Praying for rain is a constant. Praying for the Sonne Farm Family too. In 2 weeks your knee will be much better. Love the videos, no matter the content, you make them fun.

[@pamelacharles3061]

You are a good son, you have an awesome dad! Keep up the good work, just stay safe! Pam

[@SonneFarms]

Thanks so much

[@screechowl-hoote4239]

Looks like another great video. The aerial shots are excellent, and I am amazed how you can do that while you’re in the tractor 🚜

I hope you and your family have a great 4th of July. Be careful

[@damoncoates395]

The drone footage is always fun to watch.

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video cole ment to say in the last video that glad you surgeroy went well and that your yetting better thumbs up and shared

[@hampster221]

Very informative, fun with dad, love it.

[@BrianGLee-bc7hj]

Got a decent amount of rain in southern Michigan last week

[@DarrensTruckzs]

Great video I hope you get rain 🙏 I pray for all farmers as it seems all farmers across the nation are going thru dry times , very well explained an informative on the corn an fertilizing , be careful with the knee , don’t rush it , I know, I had three surgeries on my right knee too when I was your age ! 👍

[@garywest6866]

Thanks for your great videos . Thanks Dad too .

[@Tools-Tested]

Hard to tell but it could be a bent knife or mud/crop build up, it can also be caused from blowing down of the crop, looks like it's between two opposite direction discs. GPS is great but it turns off at 18mph..... I never used it much after I became comfortable with the machine. Spent most of the time above 20mph, the cut quality gets better and so douse the ride at hight speeds as long as you have good fields. Normally the lower the header rpm the better the cut aswell. Wish I had one, but I have put over 3000 hrs on them during testing.

[@dcricket1]

We’ve had more rain in West Texas this year. Thank goodness! Today was absolutely pleasant in the 80’s. I remember the year our a/c went out and it was 113 outside and waaay hotter inside! By the time the a/c man got there there wasn’t much else I could we could take off and still be decent! Cole I know these videos are done a while ago but when you said you had a Dr’s appt in a bit and hopefully he’d start letting you be able to bend the brace some I caught myself laughing and thinking not if he sees this video he won’t!!! Then I had to remind myself they were done a couple weeks or more back. Hope you are doing much better now. I’m preparing for my 2nd surgery on my tibia to remove the titanium plate and screws. My Lupus doesn’t like having a foreign body in my physical body is in trying to kill it off and smashing all my nerves. Compartment syndrome. Praying no cast this time. I’ll settle for the silly big boot!! You guys take care and have a great July 4th!

[@jeffmeans894]

Praying for a good report!! I believe your doing pretty good around the farm now! Gotta do what the dr says! And I bet dad would say the same

[@stevenbowers6016]

Man I hate y’all ain’t getting any rain!! Down here in ocean springs Mississippi all it’s doing is raining I pray it comes up there and helps y’all out!!

[@JackieDannenberg]

I have to apologize. We’ve been hoarding your rain here in Alabama. In my 12 acre pasture, we got 27 round bales a couple of weeks ago. They are 1200 pound bales. We’ve been getting all kinds of rain. More coming at the end of next week according to the forecast. I hope you get the rain you need. I’ll say a prayer for you. Take good care of that knee ! You’re young and you’re going to need it for a very LONG time ! Prayers for your knee as well !

[@SonneFarms]

send it over!

[@olberarosa2346]
