Philippians 4:6 - "Worry about nothing, pray about everything. Ask God for what you need, and thank him for all he has given you."
Farmers helping farmers! I thank them all, my prayers and blessings.
Watching this Channel makes it seem like all is well in the world.
SO glad to hear that
Amen!
"Everybody's disappointed with two pumps..." was on the floor dying!
😂
One thing we all have to agree on is the sonne boys, are hard working fellers. Ten thumbs up for you two. God bless America farmers.
Cole, your cinematography is growing by leaps and bounds... Keep it up. Very impressive...
Thanks a ton!
Cole and Brian, a very good video. Your story of getting your shots put me amind of my own experiences in the 1950s. I hope you do not mind me reminiscing. We really never went to town from our farm in Floyd County (NW) Georgia, except one day of the week, usually Friday, and of course on Sunday to attend the South Broad Methodist Church, that my great, grandfather, Judge Henry Johnson donated the land for after the Civil War. We lived 7 miles from Broad Street ( Rome, Ga), but gas was 25.9 cents a gallon. It took exactly 1 gallon of gas to get to town and back. My Mother had it calculated precisely, so you didn't waste trips. My little brother and I always rode the bus. When Mother picked us up from school during the week in our 1949 Studebaker that my Father paid cash for with the money he sent home during his service with the army in the South Pacific during WWII, my brother and I were immediately suspicious as soon as we got inside the car. Mother always had a "reason" for picking us up that sort of made sense, kind-of, and we would lay low in the back seat until we saw the "lay of the land." We knew there was only one reason that my Mother would make the turn off Broad Street onto West Second Ave - one reason and one reason only - to go to the Floyd County Public Health Department for shots - the dreaded shots - and my brother and I would hold our breathes until we made that turn then we would burst into tears and lamentations because we know what was at hand - the dreaded shots. We were doomed! But afterward, Mother would treat us to chocolate sodas at Enloe's Drugstore soda fountain, so that was some consolation. I am sorry for going on, but your experience just seemed to raise a common bond that perhaps all children can identify with at any age of life. I apologize for such a long comment.
No need for apology I enjoyed your story very much!
Amazing story!!
Lewis Lindsey. Do you write short stories ? I would enjoy reading more of these type of stories.
@Mr. Lindsey, thank you Sir for sharing! It's not the easy times that make a strong man. 😉 That story is straight goodness. 🙌🏻🇺🇸
@@briansonne814 Sir, it's on my heart to let you know the hand is back, and better than before. Can't explain the quick healing or even better use. Been crushed at least a good 5 times in life already and had nerve issues prior to the last. Now no issues...?? Honestly boggled a bit still about that. But y'all will always have them prayers back to you and the family, every morning I can still wake to another day! You raised him right, and as a man of of his own, he does right! I'm proud of Colesoooone! I think we all know that's a rarity nowadays. Ain't no fire here, so don't expect this to be smoke up the cows back. 🙌🏻 Stay Sunny Sonne's!
She’s sneaky meet me at church. I almost pissed myself laughing. Stand up from the farm. The best
I know jack all about farming, but I know a fair bit about making videos and you’re stuff is getting really good. Some of those drone shots in particular are beautiful, having the tractor come slowly into shot, really nice stuff.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks much!
You guys are doing great! I love the fact that you reach people of all ages and there is something for everyone in the videos. This video was beautiful with the over head shots and of course the humor, "meet me at the church" thats funny...
The interactions between you and your dad are priceless! Nice to see how real people live and work and it's not surprising to see Scripture quoted, which means that you actually read the Bible! It doesn't matter if the sun is shining or not in South Dakota, your videos are a ray of sunshine in and of themselves. God has truly blessed all of you.
So soothing and satisfying watching you cutting, raking and bailing hay, I go to my happy 😊 place watching this! Hopefully the rain 🌧 will make the pasture grow again fast so you can do it all over again. Love 💕 the modern animal husbandry explanation to handling cattle, so more humane. I love 💕 cattle 🐮 but I also love 💕 to eat em.
A farmer is the only one that can pray for sunshine but the next week pray for rain we are all at the mercy of the Lord. Keep on trucking buddy love Videos
Well said
I am a new subscriber as of about a week ago. I am so glad I found your channel as I love watching your daily life on the farm. I too grew up on a farm although it was much much smaller than yours. What I love the most about your videos is the relationship that you have with your dad. You and your dad remind me of the relationship my father and I had before he passed 9 years ago. I am retired now and the wife and I travel looking at the beautiful country. I am a tractor mechanic by trade and owned my own shop for 38 years. Enough about me. Love your vids... tell your dad that he raised a fine son :) GOD bless...
This channel and our wyoming life are my favorite.Oh and hello from the better Dakota.
lol
Sonne Farms Keep up the good work it’s always good to see people close to home showing what life is like in the Dakota’s.
1:13, One of the most satisfying things I have ever seen
Agreed!
Fellow South Dakotan here..I just recently found your channel and wanted to say your dad is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite farming channels! Keep up the good work!!
I’m happy to hear that you understand the connection between the heat and stress and cortisol and immune system!!!
Hey, that’s some beautiful hay. Will you be getting a second cut?
The drone work and music choice on this channel are some of the best on YT! Thanks Cole. You and your dad always make my day.
Nice shootin partner. We even get a reenactment! This channel has everything, shootin, jokes and life helping stories ! Love it! 😂😃👍👍
Much appreciated!
Great video Cole and Brian. By the way those are beautiful flowers by the big LP tank. I assume that sneaky mom planted those lol God bless
She sure did! Thanks!
Thanks for posting. Farming is honest living.
Be well.
Thanks, you too!
You and your Dad and family - are the best. I watch other Farm shows, but for reality viewing. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. What a terrific family.
Thanks so much!
Drone footage was awesome! Sonne farms merch in my mailbox and a new video! Doesn't get any better! Thanks!
Awesome, thanks so much Norm!!
Thank you Norm! Glad your having a great day!
I love watching your uploads whenever they pop up. Great video, keep up the work.
Glad you like them!
Be thankful for small blessings 🙏👍
Yep he brought the real baler the yellow iron we have been running those for 3 generations i have had super I 504 r now we run the 504r premium great baler great job on the video
Lol your replay of your face from the bump! 😜😜
Thanks fella's, and thanks Andy, and thanks Ellie you a good girl . Haymaker .
Make hay when the sun shines. Whoever coined that phrase was very optimistic.
The wheels on the tractor go round and round. That was a great camera shot! Thanks for not running it long enough to make us dizzy.
Nice of the Weather Service.. getting better.
Holy... I just checked out the cost of a used John Deere 956 MOCO.. $45,000... Back when I farmed in the 80's my used Vermeer Haybine cost me $2500. The new fangled Discbine machines were just coming into vogue back then. I loved haying. I had a used JD 336 square baler and a used JD 510 round baler. Never had a lick of trouble with the Haybine or the square baler. I had a roller bearing on the round baler pack in but thankfully the fire damage was minimal. I put up a lot of hay and green feed with that equipment. I quit farming in 1996. In south-western Alberta we have a reasonably dry climate with not a lot of humidity so hay would be ready to bale three days from cutting. I had a wheel rake but seldom had to use it. I enjoy your channel. Thanks for the clean entertainment.
Darn me.... It was a New Holland Haybine... not Vermeer.
The 7330 is by far the most beautiful machine y’all own 😍
The most fun tractor to run and operate.
Enjoy your videos. You and your Dad are fun
Glad you like them!
That’s cool your buddy helped you get that stuff bailed before the rain came. That’s team work.
Andy the neighbor great people no doubt 👍 thanks for sharing cole have a awesome day
Awesome channel thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
Hope to get hay here in Ireland this week to. Having the same problem with weather
Haying can be really unpredictable but you guys seem to handle it well. Thanks for the video.
ANOTHER Awesome video.. TQSM FOR sharing..
Thanks for watching!
I bought an Anderson bale wrapper about 5 years ago and it has made hay making soooo much easier
They look like a fine piece of equipment.
Another good one!a delight to watch,never boring,never dull,Ellie is such a cutie .
Glad you enjoyed it
and compliments on all the extra camera work! There was the drone video early in this video, but then at the 10 minute mark you went above and beyond with 3 or 4 camera locations while raking, great work! Much appreciated!
correction 5 camera locations!
Thanks for that!
Good video Cole and Brian.It`s nice to have a good neighbor to help when needed. And the never ending battle of flys vs cattle....
Thanks Frank! 👍
Awesome rapport between you and your old man!...great videos!...my dad and I were the same ranching together
Glad someone is getting moisture. We are skipping alot of our hay fields. Not worth fuel and time. But we did actually get an inch of rain this last Sunday.!! So maybe a total of 2 and half inches since May. Lol dry. Last year we delt with that humidity. Haying last year was a slow process. But lots of hay. This year totally different story. We are from Hermosa SD.
Hopefully you will get more soon!
Cole think your old man is one of the smartest southdakotans iv ever seen. Wearin a mn shirt 😆
My daughter and I just fenced a field a couple of weeks ago. We put in t-posts with a 'Man Saver' pounder. We are in a VERY hilly area (SW Wisconsin), and I just think how hard it must have been back in the day when this land was first fenced. The old timers were one tough group of people!
Great video Cole, awesome footage an loved the view shown on dad cutting , nice for people that have not the chance to see in person the beautiful country we live in , should be much appreciated,
thanks again for the schooling , Peace Blessings craig
Very enjoyable vlog and excellent drone footage
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video again guys. Loved the high shots of the square being mowed. Keep the video's coming. Stay safe.
Back when I was a kid, big round balers were just coming out. I remember the debates among farmers as to the value -- leaving big bales out in the weather as opposed to stacking small square (rectangular, actually) in the barn -- breaking open a big bale and perhaps having wastage or using small bales and feeding "just enough" -- etc. All I know is, the $1.50 an hour I got as a fourteen-year-old kid for stacking hay in a 120 degree (F) barn was pretty good money. (Yes, I'm old.) Miss those days.
Great videos guys!! Always entertaining.
Brian.....what's up with the twinkies shirt😆(should be Brewers). Go Pack Go!
Yes while I do love the packers. I just always was able to listen to the Twins on WNAX Yankton SD growing up. And let me tell you that after listening to music all day it was a treat to listen to a baseball game. Then when Hrbek Gaetti and Puckett came along it was sooooo much fun to listen or watch. They really made me love Twins baseball!
Good to have friends to help out so awesome to see y’all getting it done
I really find the sped up drone footage very interesting! It still amazes me at all you and your dad do in a day! Thank you for educating me!
Glad you enjoyed it
I swear, every time I come to this channel, Cole has found a new perspective that makes me dizzy! lol
Hey man, you dont have to apologize or make excuses for using the dart gun. We use one all the time to bring neighbor, Ned, home from the Elks bar on Saturday nights. Normally, we hide behind the Exalted Rulers podium and use the pool table as a benchrest for the gun. Of course, we have to wait till he's eaten a bunch of peanuts so that when he falls off the barstool, he lands in the peanut shells which cushions his fall. One thing, and I dont want to be critical, but offering Busch Beer to Elly is not good. I mean, dogs will eat cow poo and lick their own butts, but even they wont drink Busch.
And, incidentally, when I sent you blue slappy , I accidentally dropped four 100 dollar bills into the package. Keep slappy, but would you mind sending back the 400 dollars? Thanks! Your honesty is impeccable. Lol
@Paperwing I truly appreciate your kind words. Believe it or not, I actually get most of my stories from taking a few liberties in describing actual friends of mine. Let's face it... everybody has a " Ned". And, a lot of my other stories come from experiences that I've been blessed to share with fellow farmers in our area. Our profession has been long misunderstood by folks that are not involved in farming and I personally am grateful for people like the Sonne's that invite us into their lives so we can see the good and bad of a job that I thank God for every day that I do. It's not glamorous and it causes a lot of sleepless nights, but I see everyday the limitless caring for their neighbors that farmers consider an everyday part of their lives. I saw it myself when I was a teenager and my father was severely injured in a farm accident during harvest and I was worried all the way home from the hospital how I was going to handle harvest on my own. What I found when i got home was 4 combines, 9 semis, and enough tractors and grain carts to put most dealerships to shame. And when the fields were done, everyone there refused to take any money for all the help. That's the reason that these channels are necessary. They show that, no matter how messed up we feel this country is, all you have to do is talk to a farmer and realize we are going to be ok. Thanks for letting me say that. God bless.
Hilarious.
@@alexdrake9931Your post made me cry.
Another great video. You and your dad are great. Love to watch you guys.
Glad you like them!
Years ago I left 2 impact sockets on the rear crossmember of a semi. it road from Midwest Ohio to Chicago and back. Still there when I checked. Also left tools on the valve cover and were still there after a test drive. It’s amazing how stuff like that happens
Love Love your videos! God bless you and your dad and your farm!
Thank you so much!
thank God for good neighbors!!!
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!!!
Totally agree darting is the less stressful way,😎❤👍
I literally took my first vacation this past weekend too😂 been 1.5 yrs and it’s almost time for barn clean outs so extra full tilt this month
All your videos are pretty good I love them Ryan from Nebraska
Good video Cole and Brian bossman nice even rolls 👍 Daniel from central Mississippi
Thanks 👍
I totally agree with Brian on this one. I hate it when my wife try's to plan a day around the hourly weather forecast. It'll say there's a 90% chance of ran at 5 but 0% chance at 4. Give me a break. Who ever goes by the hourly weather forecast doesn't have common sense.
I love the gopro angles especially the drive shaft one
Nice Video Cole !
Thanks!
Dammit Jeff, how can you run off on vacation and leave these two unsupervised?!?
And as for the new guy, when is the welcome party for Blue Slappy?
At least now it will be easier for Half Slappy to get those occasional Saturdays off...
Love your videos. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks so much!
I thought that the SE Texas Gulf Coast area was the only region with high humidities! Another great video.
Awesome drone footage sweet views
Great video
Thanks!
@6:34 😂....some of us found that out the hard way, or lack of! 😂..🇺🇸🐮💪❤️
On Google Earth I see the Trinity Lutheran cemetery at the opposite corner of the section from your place and the church across the road. Church appears to be well kept from the 2009 google "drive by". Wondering if it is still holding services there. Also find quite a few Sonnes buried in the cemetery so appears roots and branches of the family are well established there.
COLE I live in Ontario Canada and was raised on a farm and at 22 years of age I hope you do not lose your strong desire to farm time change a lot of things
I've been darted before. 10/10 recommend. 🤣
2 pumps 😂😂😂
Great video guys
Thanks for watching
Another great video, Thanks
We have decided you will now be called Johnny Bravo Sonne
Yep it’s the hair.😂
Sounds right
I wish they made a post driver attachment for temporary electrical service poles.
,,,GOOD ONE,STAY SAFE AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK..
Same to you
"BAM I got married" LMAO, classic! Same thing happened to me!!
Remember nobody likes a 2 pump. I don't know what that means. Love it man thanks for the laughs.
1) what type of preservatives are used on the bales? What is it supposed to do?
2) We’re in LA, about 45 miles from the Gulf of Mexico- so I know exactly what you mean about humidity!!
3) Never seen Dad cut in squares instead of rows
We go around the field six times square and then go in rows after that
im a new subscriber and really loved the vids keep them coming
Thanks Jack!
Good ol Vermeer. Hard to beat
That post driver was made in the town I live it. The factory it about 9 miles from our farm
Sweet!
You realize that telling us you've never missed with the dart gun guarantees the next five darts flying into the stratosphere. Tempting fate, my friend....
P.O.B. all the better to send you stuff. Is there a control in the cab that tells the mower which way to swing? Good editing choice to not show the rake opening. It eliminates the squeaking rake comments.Glad you got the hay up! Looking forward to Blue Slappys" debut.
No we just push the hydraulic lever one way to swing it right and pull back on same lever to swing it the other way.
so I have an idea. That’s right, I live in the city, never been on a tractor before, but I still have a great idea. Feel free to shoot me down, I can take it. I was thinking you guys spend a good bit of time checking how things are behind you while in the tractor. Why not put the seat on some sort of swivel that can be locked in place and then unlocked when you need to see back there. Seems it would be lots more comfortable for your neck, shoulders and back. newest feature on the 2022 John Deere tractors. Patent pending! 🤪
THANKS GUYS
GNZ
I was worried that if I sent the slappy all the way from New Zealand that it would not arrive - Glad that you got it okay lol
Um...Someone already said they sent it to me. Busted!
@@briansonne814 whatttttttt!!!! lol soooo my slappy did not make it! - must of been the dodgy free shipping deal the door to door salesman offered - He said I needed to subscribe and sign up for notifications and all packaging and shipping was free. Hmmmmmmmmmm A second of silence for poor lost NZ slappy. If you ever visit down-under to NZ I will present you with a replacement slappy! Did I mention we are Covid free lol
@@colleenwoodcock5017 pick me up at the airport ill be there Thursday. LOL I had a carpenter tell me he would be here on Thursday once. He was right but it was several Thursdays later than I was hoping!
Always a battle
I was bush hogging around fields to seen few thisles and I could see was u guys attacking them. Made me start laughing again
love to hear it
The way you guys make out out west is so different from us on the east coast. we cant make hay unless we ted hay and its still 3 to 4 days sometimes till we can bale
Interesting, we usually get it done in three days without tedding
@@SonneFarms we baled july 4 and it was 94 degrees and 75% humidity. It was cut thursday and tedded right out rake 2x and was still green spot on tje 4th
Great video and it's a completely different setup then ireland where I am 😂😂
Koehn Marketing Inc. have the best cattle flags, light and durable
This might sound dumb but how (if you do) retrive the darts.
I enjoy your videos rather different to sheep farming in western Australia like I do.
They are easier to find in the feedlots. In the pasture it is more difficult. Sometimes doesnt happen.
I'd like to take credit for the great gift of a blue slappy but when I went to the store they were out. Let's all be concerned for all the 2 pump chumps out there also.
