My Father in law was a retired farmer who passed away today and I want you to know that watching your videos was something he loved doing everyday. The last thing he watched was one of your videos You are good people, Thank you.

[@briansonne814]

I am so humbled and honored to hear this. Thankyou.

[@davidkimmel5153]

Like my dad used to say “To Wet To Plow To Windy To Haul Rocks so let’s go to the hog barn and clean the cement floors”. He went to the elevator and played cards and I cleaned the feed lots 🤢😢

[@jonpittman7374]

Impressed with Brians backing the wagon in the barn.

[@doggonedk]

Don't let anybody tease you about backing that wagon in. Backing a wagon and backing a trailer are two entirely different animals. Ask any kid who grew up backing haywagons. Ask me how I know. Great video Cole keep em coming!

[@brentstallman6167]

No one will know the real struggles of life until they've tried backing a pivoting axle.

[@ryaneick8864]

The best and worst feelings all at the same time when the cattle touch the hot wire.

[@opinionatedopiner]

You gotta figure in the resistance. Depends on how grounded the animal is and how much fur was in between the wire and skin. Animals end up feeling a fraction of it.

[@JudyJudyJudy44]

I'm sorry! I laughed out loud when you said only 7 minutes! 🤣🤣 thanks!

[@johnbucklerfarms]

I remember my Brother in law saying you Can’t Farm or Ride The Motorcycle until You could Back a 4 Wheel Wagon into the HayBarn !

[@jamesmarsh4957]

so true we used to have 4 wheeled hay wagons and backing them fully loaded close to the hay barn for unloading was a skill and the tractor did not have power steering back then , i remember spending a few hours once practicing how to reverse them

[@rdyardie]

My wife was laughing at some of your comments this Wednesday afternoon. I had the speaker on and she enjoyed hearing how Sonne Farms (Cole and Brian) can go back & forth. 😊

[@blessingsviewfarm705]

Why is it so funny when your buddy gets into the electric fence and you don’t!!!

[@kathleendeasio8267]

😂 The electric fence bit you did cracks me up. Had to watch it twice. Yup I agree, it is hard to look away. 😂

[@lstone.09]

If my grandfather wanted the grain wagons backed into the barn. As to doing it himself and it taking 1/2 the afternoon, he'd go get my grandmother and she'd have them backed in the barn in a few mins. Rumor has it that my grandmother was hell on wheels when it came to driving. Awesome video Cole. 🚜🚜🚜

[@darrennorris-ws5cs]

Cole I'm sure your dad gets check ups but I'm 61 today and had open heart surgery a little over 2 months ago take good care of your dad

[@timothybailey7118]

The last time I tried backing a 4 wheel wagon in a shed. I gave up. To add injury to insult my Amish neighbor backed it in with a team of Belgium draft horses.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Yeah this rain every other day is getting old, gotta get dry weather to do any planting. That was funny, watching those calves get popped, I use to see that from time to time, but we don't use electric fencing any more. Thanks and have a nice evening!

[@user-hl2db6cs8z]

Beginning of video every time you start your tractor or semi truck it reminds me of the beginning of Smokey and the bandit movie

[@jeanhorne5893]

Thank you Cole and Dad Brian for sharing everything.Little Sonny is growing and so cute.God bless you all.

[@scottschwertfager9644]

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

[@ronknight3826]

Thanks for letting us tag along!

[@the1andOnlyjim]

The snap of a good fencer is so satisfying 😅

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO Cole and Brian 😊

[@linusbarloonii237]

The outro was a hilarious life lesson...could almost hear the calves daring each other in a rite of passage, "to be a part of the group, you gotta touch that silver grass." Maybe it will, maybe it won't. You want in or not? Ahh, the life lessons!

[@clark6236]

Kudos on backing the wagon!

[@NoTill1825]

Beans are in and now replanting part of them. No corn planted. Drove 2 hrs south to Indianapolis and saw a lot of spiked corn standing in large pools of water. Talked with a farm manager today and he said they personally have nothing planted on his farm and would take 3-4 days of dry to start.

[@steveneal2706]

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

[@darrenpautzke3795]

Good lookin gold. Cole you rock, great job on getting the wagon into the shed. Those cows and calves are to pushy for their own good. Prayers to you that the ground drys up an enough to plant. Then warm rain to germinate. Peace.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Lots of.happy cattle happiness ahead with all those cubes. So glad the moisture arrived and the fields look so awesome. God Bless.

[@user-lh5ov5hg6y]

i enjoied watching your video hope you guys get more planting done but we are all thank full for the amout of moisture we are getting hope you and brian are having a nice day.

[@davidobrienirl]

Its fun watching your "kids" having to learn stuff on their own. The last 120 seconds of your video I died laughing. Great video and hope you and your father get to planting soon.

[@gracewashburn8276]

My goodness that’s a lot of mud. Looks like it’s a little wet out there at Cole. I hope that little café makes it.❤❤

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great video Cole and Brian

[@timharmon458]

Thanks for the video!

[@SonneFarms]

You bet!

[@dennishill3463]

Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀

[@dalegereaux1863]

Thanks for my afternoon entertainment Sonne Boys ! 👍

[@paulfrank5613]

Spring - hurry up and wait! Nice video.

[@bobdevine4906]

Cool shot of the semi tractor drive train! Truly enjoy your videos.

[@SonneFarms]

thank you!

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks 😊

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Great Job

[@ashlandgunclub1000]

Brian Jr sure is troublesome. 🤣 Song of the day. Green Green Grass of home by Elvis.

[@bradw3313]

Not sure of bulk price for the cubes as I feed a few, but we pay 13 dollars for a 50lb bag.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Great video and really nice looking animals.

[@stevebiddle8912]

Hope you’re able to get some seed in the ground soon. Grass looks great for an excellent hay crop. Another good day at SONNE farms!

[@byamrcn]

So I guess the grass really WAS greener on the other side...how about that

[@user-zd2yj8jt7i]

I don't know the anything about running a farm. Your teachings are interesting. It seems your heart has to be in it. Just maintaining the equipment is a full time job, let alone livestock and the land. Wow. You have a lot of patience.

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Do difficult mama's get sold first? 2:27 U-joint looks ok...

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Cole. It was interesting and enjoyable. The electric fence at the end of your video is hard to watch. The cows march up to it and get stung. And then they go back for more-ouch!!!!!! Could never understand that. Oh my. Good job of backing the trailer in the shed. Backing a four wheel trailer is not the easiest. Two wheel is easy. Doing the four wheel trailer take getting use to. You did pretty darn good Cole. Trying to find ground ready to plant with the right moisture is hard to do. Just takes a good sound decision on your part to go or not go. Don’t want to waste expensive seed. Believe you and dad made the right decision. Nice going!!!!!!!!! Hope that calf you brought to the barn learns to suck from its mother. Don’t want to lose a calf. You and dad are good at teaching them to suck. Sonny is sure growing fast. Wow. About it I guess. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@lindagentile2380]

Sonny is growing up so... fast. Wishing You Mom & a future Mom (Tiffany) a Very nice Mother's Day... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💙🐕🐕...💙🤗✝️

[@johannaraisch4051]

I’ve been away for a few months. What did I miss? Tiffany expecting ??

[@elizabethnewell1689]

I remember my brother and I used to get a blade of grass and hold it on the electric fence, it always made me jump 😂 Thanks for another great video 😊

[@ringobeam7620]

I feel your pain Sonny , backing a gravity wagon into a shed..

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video cole lot of gold for sure lol thumbs up and shared

[@willmortimer8519]

that wheeler gate is awesome

[@timdenowh95]

I have a Texas Fence Fixer that I use to tighten loose unbroken barbed wire. I really like it better than the Golden Rod stretcher, which I use on broken wire and building new fence. Just a suggestion to try.

[@mikehumphries3549]

There is definitely an art to backing those kinds of trailers

[@darrylolson6292]

Fantastic camera placement!

[@SonneFarms]

Thank you!

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

He not a job Cole, Brian and Jeff. Thanks so much for the video. Look forward to the next one

[@erichaskell]

Too much, too little: the farmers bane. Along with too hot, too cold, too much wind, not enough. What did I forget?

[@user-dd8wh3xi6u]

You forgot "too much time, not enough time."

[@scottdegraw8130]

Cole your wagon backing skills are impressive. Tough to do.

[@ScotWalt858]

All good!

[@1944chevytruck]

good job!

[@denault3985]

I assume the pellets are cattle treats, just like the ones Dusty of Cross Timber Bison uses.

[@richardmckinney4963]

With my great grandfather it be hey grandpa I got worms let's go see if the fish are biting, and we would be gone.

[@annep7971]

The way Momma cow looked at you around 13:45 😅 If cows could give the stink eye

[@toddgeary5885]

A day you can't plant can you clean the windshields on everything?

[@robm901]

Driving across south Dakota right now watching this heading back to Alberta, should we meet at stores station for lunch?

[@alanatolstad4824]

Whenever you show a handful of corn, I hear Burl Ives singing!

[@laurakelly1138]

I often wonder as I travel across I-90 in your fare state twice a week how many of this black angus bulls I see in those pastures might be yours you have sold or off spring of your bulls.. because they all look so good.

[@Noexyx]

Nice vidio

[@cathiwim]

My horses have done that too- with board and rail fence!

[@johnbuchholz313]

Another great video Cole. We received 8 tenths of rain today near Fargo. No planting for a while. I am guessing you feed the Dakota Gold pellets to your replacement heifers. How much do they get a day?

[@byronmoon8351]

Your dad should plant some oak shades trees in the front yard. It looks so bare.

[@chuckyc6912]

Great videos

[@ernestfineday1289]

Cole you attach a folding chair to the auger. Save wear and tear on your knee👍👍👍👍

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

Hey Cole, notice how easy it was to "back" the feed wagon into the shed with the skid loader? Maybe you could fit a "backing in" hitch to the front of the pickups.....?

[@SonneFarms]

that would work well

[@marklen2322]

I have found, over the years, that a newborn calf will suck out of the same teat or two for the first few days. After a few days it finds the other teats. But they still have colostrum in them and the calf gets scours. But the scours only last for a days or two.

[@SonneFarms]

good insight!

[@arthenry498]

7 minutes to get it backed into the shed. Not really that bad. Back when I was snowmobiling a lot, I put a hitch ball on the front of my van just for doing stuff like that. It is SO much easier to guide a trailer when you are looking right at it and your steering wheels are at the front of the trailer you are backing. Had to explain to a state trooper why I had a hitch on the front one time but he was a city boy and didn't understand doin any thing backwards.

[@jamesmarsh4957]

i know i said this on the last vid but your hay crops are defiantly looking more and more likely to be pretty good , this is 10 times better than last year but i understand you want to get the corn planted too

[@williammatzek4660]

Send some rain to south central Kansas!

[@coreyvandyke528]

You should get yourself a bunch of Arizona stays to put in them fence lines.

[@user-yw4bx4nk9e]

I had a cow out of the lot in my houseyard yesterday. It shouldn't have been because the fence was new and still in good shape. They have been reaching through for green grass. I guess after a while the bales just don't cut it. Well after a fashion and some cussing and running the cow finally got to the other corner of the lot. I looked at the gate again, thought it was hooked, and guess what, it wasn't. HMMMMM. Chased the cow up after keeping her from taking escape routes that she carefully studied on the way up the hill, Walked her into the gate. So, the fence held but if you don't hinge the gate and there is green grass on the other side, they WILL get out. I think hubby may hinge it from now on. Or at least the next time he goes through. :>)

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

The grass is always greener...

[@user-sh4gd5cg1b]

Question ,"Mr.Farmer" sir, how is it you don't use a grain drier to dry your grains? I surmise, could it be your low humidity ?

[@erniezsigo3926]

Some of the best corn we had one year was a 20acre field that the planter muddy and I mean muddy it in

[@donlochner4858]

Enjoy some good lawn mowing!

[@rogerjessie4137]

Great video now question of the day how much gold for a semi load of gold?Truly hope you get some great weather in the near future!What about the Corgi ain’t that a Jim dog dandy!🐕

[@coyroberts8356]

Amen😊

[@Tanks-Link]

What's the slab for next to the house? Looks like it make a nice little shop.

[@stevenstone4330]

Last year, hardly any rain. Now more than you know what to do with.

[@wayner806]

Feast or famine, it seems with the weather. From my perspective in dry west Texas, it’s easier to wait on it to dry out than waiting on it to rain. Maybe this year is wet for us too but hope it’s soon!

[@funnyfarmdad9997]

Cole, remember that’s South Dakota. It could snow a foot next week.

[@Mike-yg7js]

I was hoping you could let me know the prand of the cameras you put up in the barn please

[@whatsdenniscooking6746]

Testing if too wet to plant----we would make a ball toss it up and catch it 3 times. If it didn't crumble apart it was too wet.

[@Tanks-Link]

11:53 this reason right there is why I also put a receiver on the front of my truck so I'll just tow it normal until I get close. I want to back it up unhook re-hook up on the front and then you can stay ahead of it and back them up pretty easy.

[@SonneFarms]

we have done that with the UTV's for when we back in the header trailers, you are right works very well

[@BethFoster-lm7qq]

I guess the fields just aren’t looking at their calendars!😝

[@kevthomas1112]

I was wondering how you managed to keep stock in with only barbed wire. My stock don't respect barbed wire either, but they do respect electric fences ! As usual an interesting video

[@Canoga_Knuckles]

The farm varmints will be partying in the barns tonight with two wagons of fresh gold.....

[@devandulin6073]

Cole do you use the grain bins at the farm where you live?

[@SonneFarms]

last time one was used was about 5 years ago

[@panderson5828]

It's crazy how a cow can run through barb wire and come out without a scratch and our horses just look at a fence and get cut bad.

[@kathyline11]

Hey guys, are those the pro pellets you buy back from the ethanol plant?

[@briansonne814]

yes

[@darrenmotl8131]

Boy you sure use your Brandt conveyor belt that sure has paid for itself

[@SonneFarms]

Couldnt go back!

[@TheJimmybud]

That Case loader might have made backing that gravity wagon up a lot easier...

[@SonneFarms]

Probably

[@d.noneyabusiness8523]

Eeeerrrr me gerd...... Peerrlits....😬😂👍

[@bobogilvie4472]

Wha happened with the rest of the npellets it looked like there was a half load still on the trailer.
