I just found your South Dakota Corn Harvest 2018 - John Deere 9720. It is some of the finest videography I have ever seen, and presents American agriculture at its apex! Every American should see it!
I'm a high-school drop-out. Got my G.E.D. in the U.S. Army back in 1962. "The Mpemba effect is the observation that warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. ... Hence the faster freezing. Another is that warm water evaporates rapidly and since this is an endothermic process, it cools the water making it freeze more quickly." Maybe your pappy is paying you too much! LOL Seriously, My hat is off to all farmers! I would not want to be out in that. You guys are awesome. Specially your Pap! That's because he helped make you the man you are!!
Strong winds and snow in your open country will certainly make some stormy weather and large snow drifts, interesting video of your snow blowing equipment, I kept waiting for a shear pin on snow blower to break, must have been nothing big mixed in the snow. the area with bedding blown down must be a interesting mess in the spring thaw
Back in '78, we had a bad blizzard come thru Ohio with a couple days of snow and wind. I was 11 and thought it was great to be out of school for two weeks. My oldest brother showed up with one of those snow blowers on a tractor and promptly deposited the entire driveway gravel and dirt into the backyard on his first attempt. Guess who had to spend his summer shoveling gravel and dirt into a wheelbarrow.
Thankyou fo a great video of what it takes to be farmer in the Midwest I sent this to all my wimpy city dwellers I am retired in arizona but a handicapped stroke survivor I used to like winter would be to hard for my care givers I have subscribed and look forward for more videos your father should be very proud of you sure keep a lot of balls in the air the skid steer does need tracks for the snow dale j in arizona I like all the John Deere equipment I am retired from John Deere again thankyou very much
This was a really fun video. I know the snow obstructs your efficiency. At first it didn't look like that much, but as you cleared the way, you definitely got screwed by old man winter and his 12 inches. 👉👌😟. Stay warm, both of you. Jack fost is definitely out there.💨☃️❄️. Thanks for keeping up the good work so we can watch and enjoy. Professor Dewey L.
Sonne Farms .........I feel special that you notice I comment every week. ✌️ I am a big fan! I really enjoy your videos/work, and family. Have a pleasant day my friend. Professor Dewey L.
I live 50 miles south of Sioux City. We've had very little snow so far this winter. Had 1.5 inches of rain about 10 days ago. The weather is nicer now than at Halloween.
I worked all of my adult live in the oil and gas business, due to the psi of the well and the cold temps, which didnt happen that often in texas, we would wrap a tarp around the well head and take a hose like Brian had, tie one end off so that it would hang near the well head and push the other end over the exhaust of pickup. Farm boy ingenuity!!!!!
One winter this drinker froze and it was -20 degrees out and windy. I got my hands a little wet and it froze the skin on my hands. Hurt for a few days.
BURRRRR lol I don't miss that white stuff at all lol I did the feeding and opening water on my uncle's ranch for 20 years in SE corner of Montana. I know first hand how much the cold gets to you lol I also know how much of a pain in the butt snow drifts are. But ya'll have it pretty bad for that where you are. I bet at least 80% of South Dakota is wide open prairie and rolling hills. I'll never forget the many years of feeding cows in -45 degrees and blowing like crazy. I think the coldest temperature I can remember that included the wind chill was 85 below zero. That day the way we got the livestock fed was with the old Farmall tractor that ran on propane. None of the diesel tractors would run. Thank God for smart ranchers who are prepared for such things.
Very creative to use the warm exhaust from the Skid Steer thaw the water in the tank. Having livestock is a lot of work but it is even more difficult in the winter and snow.
Farming is a difficult, tedious, expensive challenge in the best conditions; adding the hazards of winter increases that challenge ten fold. I wish there was a way of knowing where my prime ribs & steaks were raised, as SONNE FARM beef is well cared for under all conditions. Getting close to the end of my "binge watching" of the past 2 years of videos.
I feel for ya. I feel real cold too. LOL.😎 It is -26C/-16F in Manitoba now. I like the exhaust pipe trick. Reminds me of when I was a kid fixing cars in Dad's garage. He had this 10 foot long flexible stainless steel pipe we used to stick on the car exhaust and run it thu the garage door so we could idle and run the car when working on it. Back when dinosaurs roamed and we had carburetors you had to do that.
im a south dakota rancher to, i like your videos and i run i 250 head ranch, along with my dad i do most of the work and its nice to compare to the weather, keep it up. oh and im 15 years old
wow man that,s a lot of snow.you poor guys must work so hard winter time,I was wondering if the cattle get cold out in those winters. loving the video,stay safe and see you next time Hugs my friend,bless ya.
They sure can! But when the cattle have their full winter coat on they don't start getting cold until it gets below 18 degrees F. We provide windbreaks and bedding to help them keep warm!
If you have any old truck tire chains then you could just make them shorter and then put them on the rear tires of your skidloader. It will give you a noticeable amount of traction
Oh wow so much snow I am not used to come from South Germany and we have 50° F thats warm for January Greeting from a fan from Germany :) (sry my english is bad)
Not too sure if all window defrost was an option on your green tractor (time 11:30), or if John Deere Engineers need to see this. And being a mechanical engineer myself, (time 4:50) that orange lever looks like its coming apart - better materials/design needed??
I really enjoy your stories and your daily life farming. One question I have is how many cow calf units are you running and also total head you average including cow/calf feeders,replacement head etc. I have a feeling it’s a lot more than most of us think it is.
Good video Cole / Dad lol no bloody ears and yal had a good productive day that for sure . I forgot the name of them hay feeder they pull open u can get like 4bales I think they have different sizes but they pull open fill with hay and as the cows feed they pushing the sides closed til empty like only 5% waste look em up and read the stats on them .be safe cole
Curious Cold ❄ do cows swap being in the centre when 10 - 20 below like penquins do 2012 irish Winter farmers lost there sheep in deep snow 2 days searching all locals finally they heard a slight Baa so they dug down 12feet snow and there they were 😅
Aye,,,the wind,,,, the bloody cursed wind. Sure makes life rougher on everything. Hang in there though,,, next week we will flip flop and down east will be cold and you'll balmy.
You should be OK with the power lines your in the safest place, the tyres on your tractor will protect you, as rubber insulate, our dear farm hand had the folks up on the bail feeder and hit the live cable going over the yard, I told him Not to get out the tractor until I turned off the main electricity, thank goodness he didn't drag them down lower, he peed his pants, he said all the lights in the tractor went really bright, I said to him keep the folks down and your be OK.
New subber love your channel, wish I found you sooner. that snow is not conductive my friend, more like an insulator because of the air trapped in the snow crystals. I’m still running water to my stock tanks in a hose on the ground here in the north east. Unheard of in January! Wish the ground would freeze already what a muddy mess here.
9:10 Dad is a smart man. And fyi, snow/ice is not a good conductor of electricity. Some thing to do about the ions in snow not moving. I know this because my dad told me.
Do the cows live outside all winter? There is no barn to move them into? I see you spreading new chopped up stubble outside for them but still it must be brutally cold? Poor cows?
It is a fact that when they have their full winter coats on, they don't mind the cold until it starts getting below 18 degrees F. Then you need to feed them a little more so they can burn it to provide more body heat. In every pen there is ample wind breaks provided to help keep them warm.
@@SonneFarms That's great. I was not suggesting you don't take care of the cows. It is clear you do. I was just making the point that the cows seem not to mind that setting. Thanks for the video.
They grow a think winter coat, they actually don't start feeling cold until it gets below 18 degrees F. We make sure to provide wind breaks to keep them out of the wind

Maybe you should use safety glasses when dealing with the frozen hay bales. Just a thought better to be safe than sorry !!
God bless
Hard working farmers. You guys feed the nation. I so respect you.
Thank you Bernard!
Snowstorm is best to watch
from the inside of a warm house.
Trueee!
Snow is absolutely beautiful. I know it makes it a challenge but there’s just something neat about feeding cattle on a winter day
Y’all should invest in a set of tracks for your skid loader. Best Money I ever spent. Great videos.
I live 50 miles south of Sioux City. We've had very little snow so far this winter. Had 1.5 inches of rain about 10 days ago. The weather is nicer now than at Halloween.
That is weird, it was colder some days in October and November that is has been all December
@@SonneFarms but we might pay for it next month.

I was shivering the whole time watching this! 🥶🥶🥶
Well did like the way it thawed out and used as hand warmers can't beat that nice video.
Engine exhaust to thaw waterers.... nice! Beats hauling jugs of hot water.
One winter this drinker froze and it was -20 degrees out and windy. I got my hands a little wet and it froze the skin on my hands. Hurt for a few days.
Winter and Water, they do not mix. Always a struggle. Great Video.

Takes me back too farming and chores in winter. Breaking waters and feeding silage. Great video
Thank you!
Get over the wheel tracks for your skid steer. They are really affordable and really worth it.
I should look into that!
I think someone once mentioned Grouser tracks, turns that skid steer into a mini dozer
@@boonvillebuck836, We have a set for both our 2 skid steers and the difference is night and day, worth every penny.
@@augustreil rubber or steel? We are on concrete quite a bit
I was raised on a farm in southern Ontario. Luv watchin you, glad I found this site.
Thank you!
Always busy hard work to do on the farm , thanks for sharing .
Exhaust pipe idea is a bloody good idea. Dosnt really get that cold here in Cornwall uk but I’ll remember that one 👌
Hope it helps!
Good video, lot of people think that chores are always the same....like the green equipment.....
I enjoyed the video,stay safe and try to stay warm
I will try!
Much respect!!! I'm a pansy. Live in IL, 2 hours south of Chicago so we deal with cold and snow, but I definitely dont work in it!
Some hard workin people , thank you for schooling us on the winter endeavor of farming , Bless all of you , love your furry dog friend,

Genus idea thawing the water
I'm glad I live in the northwest. Nothing personal, I would never make it in SD. You do have the greatest patriots and nice summers.
I’m glad I live in Virginia!!! You guys are tough people!!!
South Dakotans are probably the toughest in America!
Also good idea to use the smoke exhaust that way. Will tractor ever be electric
It's always Sonne in South Dakota.
Great video, 4 inches of snow shuts things down here in SC, you've got a lot to deal with there, admire your work!!
Thank you David!
The work never ends
Thats the truth
One thing about family farming,they sure can’t afford to get rid of you!😂😂😂
Search for heated wiper blades for you tractor, they work great for snow blowing
Great video
Thanks Kevin!
We used to put a bucket heater plugged into a GFI in our cows water during the winter. It works great if power is accessible
Man now that’s a snow storm huge drifts

It rarely freezes bad down here but I’m stealing your dads de icing idea for our water troughs 👍😂
Oh wow so much snow I am not used to come from South Germany and we have 50° F thats warm for January
Greeting from a fan from Germany :) (sry my english is bad)
I wish we had 50 Degree weather!
I hear ya! from Montana. Hang in there.
Great video, Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Bobby!
Looks like the skid steer could use some tire chains. I blew snow with my 4020, with chains on nothing would stop that tractor.
Chains would help so much!
Chains on rear tires on skid loader

Skidder needs the weight kit on the back! Helps a lot on our s770.

Reminds me of my early days on the SoDak plains......now I remember why I don’t live there anymore.
Haha it can be brutal some days!
Sonne Farms...yes...the wind sucks...at least there aren’t any flies.
Never saw snowblowers on tractors and skid steers !
I remember living I ainsworth Nebraska. We had that type. Snow
Great video ... thanks. Tell your dad he's not THAT old (stick and a hoop indeed)! LOL!
Haha Thank you!

You guys are getting a lot of snow here in southwest Iowa it's still in the 40-50 degree range. Nice video
New the channel love the video on thing why don't you put some chains on your skid loader? Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching! We just don't have any, and they are probably spendy. They sure would help though!

You need some tracks for your skid steer
Could you put 3-4 hundred pounds on the Rear mounted blower, to help it scrape a little better ?
Great video, first time watcher. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! I'm sure we could rig something, but I bet it may void a warranty if the manufacturer were to find out
@@SonneFarms, Thank you and I didn't think there was a warranty issue. My bad !
Put chains on that bob cat I have them on mine and they work great
You should use your processer to windrow the hay
need to tilt the top of that blower to the back and get rid of the driveline vibration..
We sucked in the 3rd link as much as we could. We did need to make a little more adjustment
@@SonneFarms i own one as well .love your vids

We do not make silage bales
How do the cows stand up to the cold and the snow during winter?

Wouldn’t putting exhaust gasses in the cattle waterer leave noxious gases in the water ?
Nope, coming out of the exhaust is mostly CO2 and water vapor, and it bubbles out right away
Wow, that’s some wicked snow drifts! Do you put up snow fence anywhere?
We did not this year. We did use bales one year! That worked really well and I just realized we should have done it again!
Have you looked into a Scoop Dog ( not snoop d-o double g) snow pusher for the front of your big John Deere???
Have not, I have wanted a big snow pusher though!
like everything they have their pro's and con's
Everyone is hungry also Farming never ending job
Do you mix your feed or do you give it to them in layers ? One ingredient at a time?
mix it
