- Welcome To Episode 4 of The How To Farm Series. My name is Cole The Cornstar. I am a 26-year old farmer who farms 2,000 acres of corn and soybeans. Over the next 365 days, I will be documenting everything that happens on Cornstar Farms in an effort to show what it takes to feed the world. In today's episode, we are planting soybeans, controlling weeds in the field, and overcoming obstacles that are trying to keep us from doing those two things.

I never would have guessed as a 61 yo woman, never farmed, I would be captivated by these videos. Thank you Corn Star Family. ❤
Haha - me too!
Me three!
Me four and I'm 86!!!
I with ya too
That’s really funny 😅
Yes we know but we can still miss them! The reason I started watching Cole the Cornstar is because he was a young man fresh out of college trying to farm and clean up his grandfather’s farm and house. So I am still going to watch Cole the Cornstar!
I was flipping through my utube feed and saw this kid wearing the biggest pair of sunglasses and a big grin and I thought what is this guy all about? It’s been an entertaining and educational journey
A cheap thought on sunscreen why not just buy a cheap pop-up tent and 8 / 8 And put it up over your mixing area that way at least you have some Sun reprieve while you're standing there doing stuff Usually pretty cheap and you know if it gets wrecked by the wind not at least a mass of loss and I'm sure you could probably you know screw it down to the deck of the trailer and you wouldn't have to worry about it blowing away
@@bobfeber1099 when I heard him talk about that I was like man he is right like he said in all his previous videos. He must be really fare skinned and burn super easy if he is getting sunburned in 5-10 minutes this time of year!!! And yes I know it's multiple times of 5-10 minutes per day!
This channel is geared more towards other farmers but as a senior citizen I am finding this very informative. Have watched this channel for two years and enjoyed and learned a lot. When things break down it is so expensive to replace. I pray that farmers would get more of the profits for their hard work. I won't complain about the cost of food next time I go to the grocery store.
For everyone missing the house reno videos, please realise that it is planting season and Cole does live on a very busy, hard working farm. The farm is his main livelihood and takes precedents. I'm sure the House Reno videos will be back in no time. Patience people......patience lol.
Well then repeat Roman's page so that we can follow it with him he just dropped us off like a hot potato on the grill and just tossed it aside in the dirt. I'm sad.
Cole found out he's NOT the father! Cornstar drama coming soon.
Romanis working on the farm now@@santiagosanchez-um5vp
I WAS BORN RAISED AND LIVED IN EASTYERN NORTH DAKOTA FOR 50 YEARS, I UNDERSTAND THAT GETTING THE CROP IN AND HARVESTED COMES FIRST.
My, where would we be without you!
This is a house renovation video, yall have to look outside the box he is doing his landscaping 😂
Yes. He likes lots of annuals.
It is kind of a large landscaping
so we just have to be patient !
Really dig his lawn tractor.
@@blister762 suckers mint too bad not very many know that lawn tractor comes at a hyper car price 😏
@@gilb6982 it is all worth it when you see the brown soil turn to green tops
“ farming ain’t no joke!!” I’m glad you’re doing this. Most people don’t know; it’s sad they don’t! You and your family are great! Keep working - God will bless you!!
Farming families, generation after generation ! Without them we all go hungry and poor! Same here in AUS; we have our stalwarts too !
I figured they would be in the fields. For those that are wondering about Justin and Roman why can't we watch them working on the house. They are all working on a farm. Roman works for Cole and Justin works on his own farm.
I think Justin has his own construction carpentry business.
Your videos are very eye opening to people that don’t realize what goes into putting food on their tables. I am a farmers daughter we grew potatoes in New Brunswick Canada. My dad has now passed away and our family farm has moved on. It’s crazy hard doing what you and your family do, nothing is predictable with crops, machinery,costs. Etc. you’re doing a great job Cole. 😀👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cole, I think you would really benefit from laminated instructions on some of your equipment operations. Just simple step-by-step procedures on how to prepare, start, run, and stop something. Seems like every year simple "forgot something" results in delays or lost money. Type 'em up, print them, verify them, laminate them, and mount them on the equipment. Your mixer, planters, and monitors seem to be the main culprits for forgetting to do something.
Good idea.
I was just talking about this today, actually!
Better yet, put it all on a tablet.
@@northstar7884 On a laminated sheet that is taped to the equipment, you don't have to worry about batteries or uploading.
@@NotKev2017 Agreed. Remove the tech aspect. In fact, hang a grease pencil on it too so you can check off the steps.
I’ve been watching Cole Corn Star and his dad for a long time. His dad is such a cool father and the mother is great. I love the family and I love the hard-working people. They are God-fearing people working to make a living. God is always you and your family.
At 83 I am learning some farming technology and it is great to follow this family and their daily hardwork.
Need to give brother Cooper some love too...that kid is working so hard and can fix or do practically anything. Those boys were raised right 👍
Nothing like the older equipment. But having a monitor that tells you how , where to plant is amazing. You don’t even have to steer it !
Gosh, y’all work so dang hard and long! I hope the challenges of having competing priorities doesn’t stress you out too terribly. It’s so hard when the fields and the house projects are screaming PICK ME, PICK ME. My hats off to you, Cole, for being able to carry this level of responsibility on your shoulders. You’re doing an amazing job balancing all of it!
I knew about coles videos a long time ago. Came back for the renovation. Now I'm staying for his personality and the intrigue of this new series.
When I was young we went to my great grandparents farm during the summer when we were not in school. I remember the combines running the fields. She the men only at bedtime.
Thank you for being a part of feeding America as well as the world.
Saw. Pardon the misspelling
So i was brought to this channel by the house reno, I'm loving this series as well! I havent seen a lot of daddy cornstar before and him talking about just anything reminds me of how my granfather used to talk, which just made me miss him, thanks for being such a hard working and kind family. Cant wait to see more, whatever the videos may be!
We had algae issues in our water tanks as well until we switched to black tanks on our sprayer trailer & water tanks in our yard.
A couple cameras on the planter would give you a eyes on view of the planters operation might be a fun thing to rig up.
Why dont you add a canopy to your mix-mate trailer? Keeping the sun off the equipment would make it last longer plus provide a little shelter for the operator.
Awesome job for all of you! Thank you for all you do. 💕
Jeez, Cole, if you’re cooking, try taking that hat off!!! You’re wearing the same hat you’ve been wearing during winter! 🤣
Really enjoying this series, it gives such a better understanding of what goes on day to day on a farm. I grew up in South Dakota and always wondered what life was like for a farmer when I'd see them out in their fields. Thank you for keeping it real Cole, I have been a long-time follower, and remember when you came home to work on the farm when you were still in college. You and your family have come such a long way since then.
Oh Cole! What a difference a year makes! Do you remember last year where your new sprayer was giving you guys so much trouble and it delayed your planting… to me, even with the delays this year, your so much further ahead - good for you all and please tell Daddy Cornstarch how nice it was to see his smiling happy face 😊
Keep spraying and planting. That is the most important thing at the present time. Thanks Cole.
Thank you all for all the hard work you do- long days- both my grandfathers & great grandfathers were farmers in Idaho & North Dakota
My Dad used to blow out sprayer nozzles with his mouth. Died last month at 97.
And you may need a plastic kid's wading pool under the first tote to catch the spill.
Daddy cornstar snorting jelly donut dust just to deal with coles technology.
Hat's off to you and your family and thanks for bringing us along. :)
You are doing a terrific job on this series. For those people who do not really grasp what goes into food production, this should be an eye opener. We grew peanuts. And of course a 1 acre kitchen veg garden.
Thanks for the series! I'm learning a ton. I also really enjoy your dad's commentary. I am jealous of the opportunity your family has to work with each other. I know I would have enjoyed working with my dad.
This new format is really nice. The statistics tie together where things are on the farm nicely.
Enjoying the mellow voice, Cole. New mic works great!
I sure miss the house renovations. Farming isn’t too interesting to me, but I play it in background every day as I do other chores so he still gets a like and view for the video.
On the tote carefully tip it back with some rachet straps,then should be able to switch the valve out with a cam lock.
Nice to see you Daddy Cornstar.
On case you weren't aware, DC has his own channel. He's been putting up new videos pretty frequently lately :) - just fyi in case you didn't know.
This reminds me of both my grandparents farms and I’m enjoying it. Thanks so much for bringing me along to your family farm because I wish it was me out there. 😊
I am really enjoying this series. Well done Cole. ❤
I for one appreciate a farmer, a whole lot! I garden so I know the work it takes just to put out vegetables on my place. What you & your family do is such hard and consuming work. Like I said, I appreciate the farmers that do this work. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my hungry heart!
You need backups for your ag leader stuff.
What would you do if the monitor with the sprayer data shat the bed? Data should be backed up daily at a minimum and you need to know how to restore that data to a second monitor.
These videos are very good. Thank you Summer.
Your all hard working people and im loving the videos if its farming or house reno thank you for sharing your lives with us and i wish you all a good year ❤
I started watching the channel sometime when Cole was cleaning out bedrooms of all the "stuff".
But i became hooked on the family and what its like ob his farm.
The reno was cool while it lasted. Justin was off for the winter and thats why the house stuff started. Now Justin has returned to his job, so the house gets to wait. If you listened to Cole in his videos, he told you this.
Yup :) I believe Justin has his own farm? Not too sure but I think so, I saw Cole also put a comment either in the description of one of his videos since they started getting ready to plant, or maybe he pinned it in a comment. Not everyone always looks at the description box for new info so I can see how lots of folks aren't sure what happened with the house Reno videos.
Avid watcher of both Cole the Cornstar as well as you channel Daddy Cornstar. You've come a long way on camera since you started. One/Two of my favorite UA-cam channels are these two farm channels, and I'm not even a farmer.
Hey Cole and team! The filming and editing in your videos in this series have been absolutely awesome with the graphics and cuts with drone footage and voiceover! Love it 😊
I’m really digging the day by day farming that you’re setting up that’s a cool concept Cole. It’ll be cool to see what the final outcome at the end of the year. I hope you’ll be under budget.
That is a pet peeve of mine, sweeping shop dirt right outside the door.😂
As far as your tote dilemma goes, call your chemical dealer and tell them the issue and they can provide you with another tote of chemical and take the broken one back and they can deal with the broken one
Yeah, I hope he records that call. Can you send out another tote, we broke this one. Yeah, and it's 95% empty.
I Am enjoying these farm videos. Like the house renovations too.
Bless all your hearts! Get some rest and put snacks in the tractors 😉 good job you all!
Don't enjoy the detailed daily routine as much but love the honesty. Got to love Roman and Zach. Keep up the good work with your father and brother.😊
He's complaining about the heat in the sprayer a d he is wearing a knit hat and pull over jacket! 😂😂🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣
Its go time in the fields !no time to eat or rest .thats farming for you .everything happens at once .especially if you're gonna have some bad weather in few days youve gotta keep going .planting wont wait .stay safe everybody .when you're tired is when accidents happen .we love you all ❤😊
Good to see father and son thougether❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍🧄👍
Daddy cornstar cracks me up. I follow your channel too. The personality warms my country gal soul.
Yes! I also love DC's channel, he's quite the hoot!!
Thank you for another fun video Cole!
love the videos! keep up the good work!
Thank you for this very informative series.
This is going to be an epic series!
Great video guys. thank you
Good luck with great planting weather, moisture as needed to get back in the house time permitting.
Make sure all connector have factory approved conductive semi-liquid in them.
Cole making me homesick for my hometown of Anamosa...❤
Thanks Cole
Glad to see the tornados didn’t affect you guys!
Love the new video editing! Very Profesh!
I am so amazed at everything that goes into a season of farming.
My grandsons help their family crop farm but never knew all they do.
Be so careful with those chemicals. Face and hand ppe!
Cole if the valve in the tote discharge is messed up, just add another one at the end or a cap. They make them that fit the outlet
Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀
Hi I know this was done mid April . I’m concerned about you and your family after the storm? I’m praying all is well!
Nothing wrong with old school farming Daddy cornstar. Sometimes I wonder if Cole is going overboard on technology. Technology aint cheap!
My experience with technology is when you depend on it the most, the more the likelihood it will let you down. Always--ALWAYS-- have a plan B.
Complaining about the A/C with your winter hat on LOL
Thanks!
COLE Love you all!
ok,Just an observation. Don't everyone give me a bad time. Cole keeps saying that it is hot in the cab but wears a winter hat the whole time. Just think it doesn't make sense to me. I joined the channel over 4 years ago because of a house renovation and wanting to see the underground theater build, but I have got hooked on everything else. Keep up the good work!
Cole once said he has to protect his skin from the sun. He burns quite quickly because of his sensitive skin. Daddy Cornstar and Cooper doesn't have sensitive skin like Cole.
Cole has a medical condition, basically he's allergic to the sun. His skin gets red and breaks out severely and he burns easily. He's been candid about this over the years and his eyes are sensitive to sunlight which is why he wears large sunglasses. The shirts he wears are light weight and protect his skin. Cooper and DC will be out in t-shirts and Cole looks like he's dressed for winter. I'm sure he'd rather be in a t-shirt too.
@@blister762 As a redhead, I can completely understand, appreciate, and sympathize with his plight lol
Wear a hat. They are cooler. He likes stocking caps, I guess.
The old timer farmers used to wear long johns in the summer to stay cool.
Loving the overhead shots.
Need more monitors. Love your ideas. Hope you get back to working on the house soon. I know spring is a lot of work for farmers .
Busy day but lots of progress ! 👍
11:38 lol Cole complains about the a/c not working but is wearing two shirts and a knit winter hat.
He's sun sensitive. He protects his head, ears and arms.
It’s great to see DC back on Cole’s channel
I'm in sunny California suggestion tint your windows it won't be so hot
What a day Cole. The only one that had a good day was your dad. Everyone worked a double except Cooper that's doing a 48 hours day from the sound of it. I remember doing that when I was younger. Planning season means no rest until finished. One breakdown and you can looks thousands of dollars in a heartbeat. Hope everything goes better Monday. I remember growing up we didn't work on Sunday. Everytime we did nothing went right and we lost bubble what we thought we were making. Hope your new week starts on a good note.
I guess You can still get a kit at the Local Auto Parts Store to put Freon in the Air Conditioner on Your Tractor. I recommend adding a can that has oil in the freon and You compressor should last longer.
Awesome series! Somebody needs to educate the public on what happens on a farm!
You have probably emptied the tote with the broken valve, for future reference, use your telehandler or something to lift the tote up on the valve side, tip it back enough to get the product below the valve, change the valve, go again. Tipping the tote back away from the valve side would have the product level below the valve outlet point, allowing the valve to be changed without losing any product or spilling any product, food for thought, keep it in your bag of tricks.
Hey Cole, it just hit me, you live in what is becoming prime tornado land. I hope you have a tornado shelter somewhere on your property for your family. If not, it might be something to consider. The last couple of weeks have been nuts, and if Ryan Hall Y'all is right, and he usually is, this year is going to be particularly violent. Love your stuff! Be safe.
Hey Cole, and family :) I love this new series, i'm an 18th generation farmer from Eastern Canada, I love the farm vids and have been here since around the 12,000 subscriber mark :) having said that...may I please request, for the love of all things Holy...could you add a one minute blurb onto the next video just explaining to all the new subscribers that found you during your awesome house reno videos, could you explain that you are a farmer, and during the farming season, that is where you must shift your attention, and when the farming needs are met, you can turn your attention back to the house. Oh...and pleae maybe update your fans on the whereabout of Roman before an actual APB is sent out for him - justin too.
And lastly, I ask this on bended knee...address the "winter hat, long sleeves and pants" . For those of us who have been here for a looooong time, we've triend to help share the fact your burn really easily and have very sensitive skin so hence the hats, long sleeve and long pants, but I fear for the overall health and wellness for some of your fans who are more than a little upset by your choice of head, arm and leg covers 😂. Thanks Cole!!
It's 80 in the cab and your wearing long sleeve shirt and a stocking cap!
I think the long sleeve shirt is made of a lightweight, breathable material. He's wearing long sleeves to avoid getting sunburned. But yeah, wearing the stocking cap doesn't make much sense when it's 80.
Thank you Cole! Really enjoy your channel! All of it is great!
awesome work today lads ❤ England UK
Keep it rolling ❤❤❤
Great job guys
Great job with being patient…
Good day sir. From west coast Canada 🇨🇦
Hi, neighbour! Hi from Alberta!😂
Are you guys keeping out of the weather. I hope all is well God bless you and your family Stay safe
Tip the tote back till the liquid is lower than the hole and swap the valve. Or disconnect the hose from the mix mate and hold it above the fluid line to get the tote repositioned to drain into another tote
Ya got your winter hat on still
Hehehe funny habits we have
He has a sensitively to sunlight. So he protects his head.
I have watched Cole from the start of his channel and I really enjoy both the farming and house reno content. I am guessing once the paddocks are planted that he will be back on the house renovation.
Also Cole after watching for years now and the amount of things that go wrong with your machinery and the costs of fixing. For the amount of hours that some are used per season would it not be cheaper to rent?
