Cole, you inspire me so much to farm and build. You don’t even know, this year I drove my grandpa’s combine and I’m only 10 sooo yeah. Please never stop making videos.
Congratulations on your first Drive! You keep it up! ...we >need< you!
Found your channel earlier this summer while searching for tutorials/tips/tricks for better combine operation (I drive for my neighbour when able and needed). Having binged all the episodes, I’ve really enjoyed the humour, humility, work ethic, faith and everything you share but I really appreciate the technical info and learning as well, like soil conditions and such. So thanks for that!
OMGOSH! The basketball shoot off! 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂 Thank you so much for making me laugh! Now I gotta share this with my friend who likes to laugh as much as I do!
Soil testing is a very good thing. pH first, so you don't waste nutrients.
Interesting about the roads effect on ph , learn something new every day, love your channel. My great great uncle was one of the botanists who developed Hybrid Corn ( his name was George Harrison Shull ) so I'm always interested in farming
All work and no play leads to a early grave. So play, nothing wrong with that. Informative video. Big thumbs up crew.
Would have been interesting to compare the map of the ph level against a map of yield level just for the geek value.
Also, props for making modern farming understandable even for a city slicker on the other side of the pacific. God bless.
Today was a really crappy day for me. Thank you Cole for the smiles.
Not quite the Harlem globe trotters, but ever bit as entertaining and amusing.
That was an awesome bit
👌
Very funny
I loved the part where the cat and the dog just stroll right through there while they were shooting hoops
Actually that a good simile
The cat and dog walking off, “yeah, they wouldn’t let me play either”.
Cole: talking about farming data
Me: does not understand but still happy that he uploaded
Farm data is really hard to understand....even if you're like me, a farmers son🤦♂️😂
@McKenzie Pinter damn your pretty af!
I don't understand either, I get glassy eyed if too much info. Just can't miss any videos though! This video had Cooper right in front of camera! Good job Cooper!
This one with the pH isnt too hard to understand, but i can say to get the pH from 5 to almost 7 will be quite expensive😬
The pH and lime is very important for availability of the other nutrients and the ground struckture. If its too low or too high less nutrients will be available.
To make it more visual:

What grade are you in? This was easy when you had chemistry in school ;)
Nothing like an old house to be out of plumb, out of square, and have unique window shapes!
I love that they assumed that the shape was round....
All depends on who built it. Lots of brand new ones with that same condition.
The guy who glazed it the first time didn't bother to think about what shape the opening was, he just marked the glass and cut it. Trying to do that remotely, based on a couple measurements, is not usually going to work.
@@stoneshrink 4 parts for 2 windows. With each window taking 2 peices
Any company measuring for a custom window, in a house that obviously old and not taking a full on template is not a company I would ever want working on anything I own.
I appreciate you taking the time to educate us non-farmers on all the inner workings of producing the best yield you possibly can with modern technology. This helps me understand how critical farming can be. Best of luck for 2021!
Him explaining how the soil testing works just helped me out majorly for my greenhouse class
Love it when you explain what it takes to grow your crop's. Love your family!
Variable rate will be a great change. Don’t necessarily save money but you put nutrients where they need to be. I was on the ground floor when that started. We went out with a transit to map the fields and then they burnt a chip for the field. Backed into a corner and told the spreader where you were. No GPS. But that was in the mid 90’s farming has come such a long way.
That's actually a really good price for the Combine package. add to that the repairs and you have a really solid combine. They obviously took real good care of it.
the couch in your room when my wife and i were first married we had the same set as it, anyway keep up the great work cheering for you guys to get ahead good luck in all you do and God Bless You All
And to think just a few days ago you were talking about getting rid of the basketball hoop! 😃
I was thinking the same thing
I just spent $30k for a car. And to think, I could have had a combine instead.
Brand new car for 30k, used 20 year old combine and header for that much. Now it’s 700k for a brand new John Deere X9 combine and another 200k for the headers, it’s crazy
@@colegudmunson9488 yeah if you have 10k + acres of crop it might not bankrupt you lol
@@CLEARVIEW666 very true lol but a lot of farms are not 10k plus acres a lot are like 500-3000 like us we’re 1500
Where combines go to die of old age? To the sunflower crops
And that’s how you can make a farm profitable. Invest in the right gear.
Don’t forget the lime dust from the roads is practically powder as if it’s already broken down, readily available and can be utilized faster. Limestone gravel roads, tough on vehicles . . . but great on the first 125’ to 150’ of crops in from the right of way. Thank you County highway department and speeders!! 👍🏼
I loved seeing Cooper working in the attic to get ready to put in the windows. Meetings on a Saturday that’s a shame. Love your truck is named Ford😂😂😂😂
This was one of your very BEST videos, ever. Loved the championship basketball. And really loved the instruction on sweetening the soil.
Science and chemistry all rolled out on the Corn Star Farm.
That is absolutely the truth. Success in farming is no accident.
That was actually a very interesting soil nutrient lesson. Basketball game was an absolute hoot. I gotta hand it to Cole; dude you've got ups! Keep the unnecessary groans coming 👍🏽
Loving how Relaxed the dog and cat are
The Basketball part was fun to watch. Even though I don’t know what you are talking about half the time it is still fun to see Day to day operations on the Farm because I have a few relatives that are farmers.
Loved the basketball part! Especially Coopers swoosh from the truck window crack! lol!!! Made me smile and laugh, which is what I needed this morning :)
I just wanted to say that as a born again Christian and mother I greatly appreciate having wholesome, or should I say... (Colesome) videos to watch with my daughter :) She absolutely Loves your videos and gets excited when you talk about The Lord. She is currently saving up to get some of your merchandise.
That house will look great when it’s all done
So exciting to watch all the new things happening at the farm. Gonna have a lot to look forward to coming up.........excited about the windows in the attic. Interesting that the road dust accumulates on the side of the field and adds to the soils nutrients.........never would have thought of it. Excited to see what you do with the storage bins and etc as well..........really a lot happening!
Blessings for all your new adventures!
I'm glad you got a better quote for moving that giant bin.
Nice work on those attic Windows too. That should be interesting watching them being replaced.
I loved the information on the chemical measurements in the soil samples. Really fascinating! I work in science museums and it is really interesting to see the applications of different scientific fields across so many human endeavors! Also, what fun to see Cole's jumping on the pickup basketball. Wow, guy, you really can produce a jump!
You guys have the greatest work from home jobs in the world! So jealous! Hard working folks!
Wow, some different from the old days. (Notice, I didn't say the "good old days.") We used to take several "representative" samples to the county ag. comm. and have them tested, averaged, and apply the "best" guess. Today's methods are much less wasteful, better for the environment but more expensive. Every improvement seems to have a price tag. (Is that what is meant by cost/benefit ratios? >grin
Looks like a certain company wasn’t a fan of the exposure online 😂😂 had to save there own ass by acting like it was a mistake
@@JC-uq5gi whatever.
Cursing?? What cursing?
hey, hope all is well with the family, and daddy cornstar. Take care
That's some fine editing Cole! Bless all, at the Cornstar farm!........................and beyond.
Very fun cameraship with the basketball, that was hilarious
Well you certainly made the soil sample analogy seem as easy as you hitting the basket with all those shots! It's interesting learning all these things
Loved the basketball trick shots! Clearly, you guys are magicians.
All kinds of " green" on that cabinet. Gotta love it.
Cole you are one very smart young man looking forward to seeing this years planting season. Thanks for the inforamitave videos
The double half-moons will look great up there! Acid, Base, PH... I'm back in Mr. Scmidly's science class.
You'll like the variable rate application. It puts just what you need where you need it. The best part is it saves you $.
Loved the last bit about PH levels etc,etc. I did do an horticulture course whilst studying equine science. Just brought back memories, although you explained it well
I carried my Ag class to a local farm that has recently started variable fertilizing. It was amazing how much they saved in fertilizer cost, yet increased their yields! This is a large farming operation.... they do around 5,000 acres of row crops, then have lots of beef cattle, as well as several of the mega chicken houses.
Nice camera work on the basketball game! That looked like fun! Cooper, love that your hair is still growing! Cole, keep on your growing path too!
Clear explanation of soil analysis and remedies!
It always amazes me that Cole can explain the ins & outs of applying lime and other agents and the techniques used to do so and I sitting on my lounge in Sydney Australia I bloody understand it all!!
I love your vlogs!
AH! THE MAGIC OF EDITING! Cole, You were getting some air on those dunks! I think you were holding on a couple of those plays. Interesting stuff on the soil tests.
Well hopefully you get a better price For your bins now that the builder came out and assessed the situation
Beautiful home! I can't wait to see what the finished product will look like!
I noticed a tractor on top of one of your cabinets and was wondering if you collect them. God Bless many prayers and stay safe.
His Grandfather did.
Lol! Coop...
"OK guys, check this out: Inside the truck, with the window rolled up!"
Oh, and the "gettin' a Mountain Dew out of the fridge" pose: Classic... Nailed the landing, btw.
Wow , that’s amazing to have all that technology to help you farm today. There’s always something going on with the house projects, they never seem to go to smooth at times. But don’t worry in a couple of years you’ll be looking back at the house and saying wow I did that. God bless you and your wonderful family ✝️
It’s amazing how far technology has come these days and it’s going to good use on these farms..
Wow, PH in the 5’s is unheard of around here. The Niagara escarpment goes right through our county and the escarpment is made of primarily lime stone which we have an abundance of around here. Some of the fields of alfalfa actually have to add suffer to lower the ph from the high 8’s. Good thing your insurance company is standing behind there mistake.
Farming 101. I passed the course ! Time to move onto Farming 102. 😊
Good luck with it. I have been enjoying your videos for about a year now . 🙏🙏🙏💪
Cool, love learning about how the fields are tested and treated!!!
Cole and co thanks for what you guys do 😊👍
I like that John Deere tractor on top of the file cabinet.
Same
Me to, would go great with my collection.
@@robhakeman5873 I’m pretty young still in my teens and I know what college I’m planning on going to and what my career will be but I know for a fact that I will help on our family farm and a part of my shop that I’m planning on may or may not have a collection
Gotta have some fun time here and there.. all work and no play makes Cole boring. lol!! Have a great week!!!
Maybe if you changed the traffic speed signs to 100 mph they would kick the lime dust farther into the fields and save you some money. 😃
I see Cole you already have you 1/16th scale 8RX Great Video as usual Cole
I'm an estimator at a grading company and I look at Soils Reports every day when working on different jobs. The Soils Report is basically treated as the Bible for each job. Every engineer and contractor associated with the job has to use the information from the report when drawing up plans and such. It's really cool to see how farms use the report for their own business.
Very cool to hear about the soil samples. Thanks for the insight.
I’m glad to see you boys take a few min to have a little fun!
If you want to know the ph of the soil seed barley as cover crop and where the soil is under 5,8 the barley grows bad, and you spray lime there
I loved learning about the science behind your farming. I'm sure it will make a big difference next year.
Love seeing all of you. thanks.
I had to laugh a cup of apple sauce, I love apple sauce had some for lunch, growing up we had it with almost every meal, i am from Illinois also corn country must be a Midwest thing, live in Florida now and people here do not eat apple sauce.
Your Gpa would be impressed with all your improvements !
And Cole..right after you told us that basketball thingy was worn out going in the...🤮🤮🤮🛢🛢
Thats true!
Your grandfather would be so amazed at farming these days.
For you only being 5:3. You did pretty good. I was so depressed today, felt so bad, just turned on my TV. And there you all are. Thank you. Sure did bring me out if it. Tell momma corn, I tried a different kind of pasta. I out cabbage in my Hamburger and onions, celery. And cooked it down, oh. I also put hot spices in it. Not much. But out a couple cans of sauce with my noodles. OH man. It was good. Garlic bread. Tell momma corn id be her biggest fan if she would start a cooking channel
Another great one. Thanks guys and cheers to yo all.
You are a very special person Cole. I know God is with you. Have a blessed day cole.
Cole, have you ever watched or listened to Ag PhD? I'm not a farmer, but I listen to them on my way home from work. Pretty cool stuff!
I understand the Ph level , but what does the D stand for? Dicalcium phosphate?
Earl Hollar lol I think it’s like meaning like doctor making it seem they are smart and know what they are talking about
All that data about the soil samples was very interesting !
My guess for why the ph was higher near the road was that the added water from the runoff water was diluting/draining it 😅 ? Your explanation makes a lot more sense !
Are there certain farming methods that can help keeping/make a better soil ? Not like permaculture or smt like that, something that can work for large areas and help the farmer make more profit by cutting on things they need to add, pesticides, fertilisers etc
Enjoy that intro so much. I’m glad to see all the happenings at Cole corn star farm. Glad to know family is on top of things. I’ll be watching all the progress made. Enjoyed you guys having a little fun playing. Love it! Relaxation; it can be all work. Question Do you celebrate Christmas? Are we watching family putting Christmas tree up at the farm? Good luck ! Hope you get a buyer for the things you’re selling.
Great camera work for the basketball shooting. It is ALWAYS a good idea to put back in the soil what that years crop took out.
Oh my gosh, the book of soil test, makes you think how did old time farmers make things grow.
Soil samples are sweet hope u can grow all the numbers by natural means so u save money
Loved the ball game (not sure which type)! Very interesting about the limestone road dust.
Very interesting! Thanks for the quick 101 on modern farming!
I never knew corn grows best in neutral pH soil. I thought most plants grow better in slightly acid soil for the nutrient uptake...like around 6.5. Learned something new today! No wonder my corn never grew. 🤪
You are such a nut... keep your Videos coming enjoy everyone of them learning a lot about farming!
Hands down best part of video was playing basketball. Get daddy corn star and the rest of them in on it.
Basketball inside the truck was the best part 🤣🤣
In the next vid, please include the full segment of Cooper’s inside-the-cab-with-the-windows-up basketball shot. With that, I’ll do a complete shot analysis.
Hey Cole, regarding you new bin project. If u been following Zack's channel u would notice how much work they have trying to cleanup around the bins because everything is to close. Hope u plan for cleanup around the bins. Also I noticed Larsen Farms have a very small skid loader that can fit between bins. Handy.
Soil evaluation and perhaps crop rotation are very important. Farmers back in the 20', 30's (mid west + Oklahoma) just grew one kind of crop...Then a huge drought turned the depleted nutrient soil to dust....Many of these farmers/shearcroppers went bust, many heading west....to Caliphony.....
Loooove the farm science!!! Nice to see you boys shooting some hoops.
I got such a laugh from Cole's selective editing when he was playing basketball. Cole should have added one like "hey from 1 mile away bouncing the ball off a corner fence post see nothing but net". Lol
Love the basketball scene. Thank you!
Excellent video Cole! You've been busy getting everything together. Can't wait to see the results from the lime! Git er done 🌽🌟💚
Thank You for the science lesson.
I enjoyed that basketball game, and especially the trick shots, quite a bit 😃 🏀
