I'm so proud of you Cole. Your grandfather would be busting with joy with the respect for his house. Working a full-time job while rebuilding his house. That is like a trophy that you live in. The work ethics that young people like you are doing video games and watching TV. Your dad is a solid part of life and taught you well. You put a bunch time and effort into you videos . Keep up the good work. Loved your brother REBUILD that truck. Being a Marine I love how you get things organized and in it's place. I watch every one videos because it brings a smile. Keep up the great work Cole. Neal
I Agree 👍 Cole your family and yourself have really done an amazing job on pushing that multi generation farming company into the next level !! 👏 grandpa Is most definitely happy 😊
dont for get coopr
@@jackalsbrooks6681 lol. Don't forget* to read before you type. Cooper is the truck brother mentioned by the OP. Unless Cole has more brothers... Lol
Thank God for Copper and his interest in mechanics. You all work together so well. Thank God for Papa and mama Cornstar raising such hard workers. Thank God for the sister, girlfriends and other family members that do their parts. Thank God for Cole that is willing to do ALL that paperwork. God bless you all and that all your bills will get paid.
The timely placed clip of DC busting the window, NEVER gets old. 🤣
Cole, I appreciate how you are vigilant about PPE and have it available to you whenever you're working around loud/dusty or other things. I work in a very different field but with all too familiar stories about folks exposed to these environments all their lives who now have cancer, hearing loss, or other ailments. People may criticize you for being dorky or whatnot, but it's called PERSONAL protective equipment for a reason - it's PERSONAL.
Amen. Too many middle aged miners with COPD, hearing loss and cataracts showing PPE is still not up to scratch in that field in Australia at least.
Ahwell ol mate in Australia 🇦🇺 scientific research is showing the increase in rates of DEFTNESS AND 👁 SITE IN THE Y GENERATION IS GETTING TO CRITICAL STAGE AND THEIR MAIN REASON OF THIS " SMART PHONES 📱 AND EAR PHONES. IS DOING UNBELIEVABLE DAMAGE
I really enjoy watching everyone meet and beat so many daily challenges on the farm. There are SO many things that can (and DO) go wrong. And you guys just attack back and make them good again. Love that attitude. AND, at the same time, you make videos that I can tag along and enjoy your work too. Thanks guys. I really appreciate all you do. Especially the extra effort that lets me be a part of this great work,
It's really cool to see all of you guys working together.
Way To Go Guys!.... Talk about working like a machine and getting stuff done, You guys are hitting on all cylinders. Congrats on the new Freightliner it looks very good for being a '95 and should be a great addition to the farm. Are You guys getting a Demo on a Large Grain Cart for this harvest season?. With all of the work you 3 have put in this looks to be a much less stressful harvest and hopefully hitting that 300 Bushel corn and 100 Bushel Soybeans target. As always thank you for bringing us along on these Journeys...... I think a lot of us are as excited as You all are to Git-R-Done.......
I'm so addicted to these videos. I'm just a city girl from TN, and I know nothing about farming, but I am so fascinated by the documentation of your life! Thanks for sharing all that you do. I'm super impressed by your positive attitude, and work ethic. I hope that spreads to the rest of your generation.
It's great to see two brothers with opposite skills working in unison to make the family business successful!
And so very good decision to always work in pairs of two around Grain bins. If something goes wrong outside somebody else will be there. Enjoy the video hope everybody had a great day
Confined space entry... OSHA regulation.
@@anthonyhengst2908 Farm Enterprise...not governed by OSHA.
@@jimpinger6206 I know but the point still stands as a matter of practice.
Cooper is worth his weight in gold around the farm!!!! So excited for the first combining video of the year!!!
Honestly I feel like a Cooper fanboy, but he is cutting grinding. welding, fabricating and I have a nephew his same age who has never had a job. All I've ever seen him do is play his video games. He "helped" me dig a hole one time for a tree and I almost cried watching him trying to use a shovel! lol
To see the farm transform over all this time is truly inspiring!! Kuddos to all of you!!
I love all the noises daddy colestar makes when working he is such a lovable man. You should be very proud of yourself for all the work u do around the yard/farm/house. What a difference you have made sending well wishes from Aberdeen Scotland Uk xx
Good Year used to make a tire called a Vector. They would suck up rocks like a magnet. I have a Plymouth K car that came with them on it. I was always having flat tires on it until I got rid of them.
Stop bragging Rockefeller! 😂 just kidding bro
Love seeing big moves being made. Congratulations to you, Cole and family. And future Cornstars.
5:36 DC They will never let you live it down 😂
Good luck with Elmer. Another good video!!!!
Andy the Harmless Farmer passed away recently. I discovered him at the same time I discovered Cole. Pretty sad to hear about Andy. He was so inspirational. Just a sad loss. From what I gleaned it was not expected even though he was being treated for cancer.
Cole please ask your viewers to mention him in their prayers for support for him and his loved ones.
Happy subscriber 😊!
I love seeing how you all work together as a family. I've been watching you since the start and you guys have made some amazing changes that you can all be so proud of for the future of your farm.
Daddy Corn Star always thinking of Cole, I’m sure he appreciated coming to help with the beans😂😂😂,nice looking Semi and the farm is looking amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You all are amazing! I can’t believe the amount of metal work, truck repairs and over all truck maintenance that you do! It’s a lot of work and it keeps you busy in the off season and while waiting for the crops to grow. I am impressed with everyone’s experience and abilities.
All of you are such hard workers. I am amazed at all you do!
Good to see harvest looks ready to go without the crop damage done by the wind storm. The farm looks more organized each season, that will make you more productive this year. Have a great harvest 🎉
DC - Ask your buddies at Titan about stone drilling in tires. Besides being a hazard to your truck's cab (and your fellow motorists), those retained stones can cause premature failure of your tires - resulting in financial loss, injury, and even death. Not all tires are equal for stone retention performance - even within the rear traction design category. Perhaps top dressing your driveways with smaller crushed limestone material will also lessen the stone retention/stone rejection problem.
What about all those gravel roads they drive on in rural Iowa?
@@ILGuy2012 Are gravel roads heavily covered with stones of a uniform size with little size variation like this driveway? The answer is “no”. Are gravel roads typically covered by large smooth round stones? The answer is also “no”.
The size and design of the grooves and cross slots in Cornstar’s drive tires are susceptible to trapping and retaining the stones. Tire companies (competent ones) can modify the size, shape, and distribution of their tread pattern grooves to improve the stone retention performance - usually at the expense of trading off other performance characteristics.
Since they already have tires on their trucks and don’t want to buy new ones, the tread pattern is established until they buy new tires. The strategy to improve stone retention thus is to change the shape and average size of the stones covering the driveway to ones less likely to get stuck in the grooves.That is why the suggestion of applying a layer of crushed limestone over the problematic size and shape stones.
It is mad this is the 3rd Harvest Season i have watched of yours. Time flys so fast.
Good update! Can't wait to see how all that bin site thing works!
C10 not much power there and Freightliner seem to use them the most. Jost 5th wheel most are junked and get new one. Because price to rebuilt it almost same as new 5th wheel and you get better warranty.
Hi from England . You and all of your family and pets, are just what we all need about now. Thank you all so very very much for sharing your lives with us all. God bless and be safe.
Hi Elmer! Welcome to Cornstar Farms. You're going to love it! They are great people!
...and Elmer...DO NOT stray onto Cole's Kentucky Bluegrass when turning in...or you'll get booted(off) 🤣😂🙂🙃😂🙃😂😳🧰⛓🪝🔩⚙🔧🛠👍🌽🌽🌽🌽
@@mmurphy2317 😁
It’s amazing DC can do as much as he does as he’s no spring chicken anymore. All you guys work your butts off is obvious. And the $ value in equipment is astronomical. Hope you guys have a record bumper harvest. I’m amazed at Cooper being so diverse with equipment etc. saving tens of thousands of $ repairing equipment.
Great video! Cole and DC were on point with humor! Cooper was silent but deadly with killer shop skills and we even saw Maverick!👍🏻
It is astounding how much work You do on your semis for the little bit they get used amazing
Looks like Cooper got a great set of tools at the farm show have a great harvest.
Why don't you get some Cornstar Family Farm logo's on those mud flaps?
I am really impressed (and have been for 3 years) at Cooper. His mechanical knowledge is impressive, especially for someone so young.
Always check clearance on pto shaft when moving drawbar,spec is from pin hole to end of pto, 14inches on 540, 16" on small 1000, 18 on large 1000, but check operators manual to be sure. If wrong can break gear boxes or bend pto shaft on tractor
Cole, I got a good laugh at the end. Your description of the crank and how it was difficult because metal was rubbing metal. Then your tone livens up and you say, "that's why we're strong now". So chipper it sounded like building muscle was your primary goal. Love watching.
Good looking old FLD. One of the most underrated trucks built. Other than the hood hinges normally dont age well, even worse on bad roads. You'll see why they call them freightshakers. I spent a while in one and wouldnt mind another one.
So great, seeing you guys work, as a team, getting the semi’s in shape. Amazing CornStar family.
Cooper is a rockstar mechanic!
🤣 “Makes Cole feel important”. Nice one DC. He is younger…be careful out there in that heat. Remember to stay hydrated. Especially inside those metal silos. 😊. WOW….the amount of rocks inside those tires was crazy. That’s why I hate getting behind a big truck without mud flaps. I’ve actually had to replace my windshield because of rocks flying. TY for being responsible. ❤
Great job guys, looking forward to harvest.
Daddy Cornstar...Cole did it all by himself on yesterday's video!!
Great video.
Always something to do.
I love how you three work so hard to keep up your equipment!!
Glad your back with the videos Cole keep it up 😃
I’m so impressed with the different skill sets each of you bring to the table which compliments each other so well. Cooper, his amazing all-things-mechanical and problem solving, Cole, your brain knowledge of the financials of running a solvent business and extensive knowledge of agriculture, and Daddy Cornstar, his overall perspective and experience. It doesn’t get any better! God has truly blessed your family.
Throw a deck or a cheap trailer on old red put a tank and a pump on it now you got a tender truck for your sprayer instead of driving back to the yard every time you need to fill
Don’t they have an entire flatbed trailer dedicated to the sprayer with a mix mate water tank and spots for chemicals?
We have a 1995 freightliner it was a semi tractor but we converted to a tandem grain truck. It has the m11 Cummins. It been the most reliable truck ever. We are farming in western Canada.
You guys have a long ways. I am so proud of you
I ment to say you guys have come along ways
I am so thankful for all your hard work in feeding America. I want to be a farmer now!! At 58 I want to be a farmer..
The FLD was a great choice for your operation! "Ol Elmer" will treat you good, I'm sure! I had a FLD 12064ST 70" condo bunk I ran over the road for 12 years!
I would be soooo disappointed if DC’s window incident didn’t make it into a video this fall. Great job Summer and Cole!
Cooper is an awesome mechanic. On our family farm my brother is the gifted one. His son is learning from him now. Cooper needs to do a workshop channel. My brother was impressed when Cooper was working on your Case harvester. He only hires farmhands who can also repair stuff. So if Cooper wants to move to Germany lol
That's, amazing that you have good weather, praying, you have optimal weather, through your whole harvest. And ultimate maximum Harvest" If a corn of wheat falls in the ground and perish it will bring much fruit!"
Excellent video Cole and Family.
A trick for cleaning bins with a vac, with your end piece, just clean in front of the door, then what I do is with the end piece get to the floor then keep it on the floor and go left to right and while working the pile to the wall then it less messing around
It’s cool seeing you work on the machinery with your brother.
Ya need to put Corn Star Farm emblems on the doors of the semi's................
I always hit the thumbs up button first because I know I'm going to love watching the video. Harvest time is right around the corner yippie. I'm still amazed about the stuff I learn watching you guys work. Big thumbs up and happy harvesting
Bravo DC every one likes to be important every now and then !!!
The infamous tree through the window clip! Haha
Do you know how to quadruple the value of a Freightliner? Fill the fuel tanks.
Should be good to go with the semi trailers. Tough thing to run out of tractors to move augers.
Good work.
Cole I must say you and your family have a good bond, not once have I seen you guys butt heads argue etc. you have a passion for farming and a passion for family. I’m not a farmer or even close but I would say if I’d love to be if I was apart of you guys. You do everything the right way no cutting corners. Hats off to guys for always working so hard and getting everything done!
Rock on guys! Things look like they are falling in place. Busy busy. Still praying for you all!
You’ve got a good truck there, I know the people you bought it from and they take very good care of their equipment
Cooper deserves a raise!
City slicker here. Love watching your channel. Like planting season but I really like harvest! Still can't believe how much work you do day to day all year long. Keep up the good work and hope you have a successful harvest.
down hear in mo the corn harvest has begun
I love how good your lawn looks at your house. My sympathies to you regarding the high cost of lumber to work on the remodel inside you house. But you are wise to wait. I pray prices come down soon.
Wow. So much work to get ready for harvest. I pray you have a very productive year. Free from any mishaps. Peace.
Watching you getting so much work done inspired me to clean my house. I'm literally cleaning and listening rn.. 🤣
I miss that HUGE red cart you guys ran last season. I know it was borrowed but it was a BEAST.
Pre-emission Cat. Hard to kill. Where I'm at I see more semis than grain wagons. In fact I hardly ever see grain wagons anymore
great job on Elmer!
Welcome Elmer! Love how each of you has different talents! Way to go Cornstars
great video cole looking forward t0 starting harvest
Cooper is worth his weight in gold. An excellent mechanic is vital to your operation!!
teamwork makes the dream work
Long time viewer. Once again, I’m giddy because it’s harvest time. Driving the back roads, looking at all the corn and beans…still my most favorite time on the family farm.
Grain vacs at the bin sites just unload in the pickups use the g
Vac to load the bins.
It’s been High fifties low 60s here during the day and dropping to the low to mid 30s here at night and I actually just got a semi here 2 weeks ago it’s a 1993 peterbilt 377 with a 3406 cat and got a 2010 timpte 42’
All you have to do is install higher risers on your 5th wheel plate, adding tubing with longer bolts gets the hairy eye from State inspectors. 😁
Do the state inspectors ever set up next to the elevators?
Love the vids
Call got 6 in off those mud flaps and you'll never have to change them again. Been driving over 30 years might know a little something.
DC
You are so blessed to have a son so handy as Cooper!
Coles ok too! 😉
I feel like you have needed to put money into the semi and trailers for a long time. make me happy to see you guys doing it finally
Nice rig, surprised a C-10 in it though. Great engine, no def, probably perfect for what you’re going to use it for.
“Makes Cole feel important” - DC throws the shade and he knew it.
Dad humor is best humor. Period...
You guys are the hardest working family I have ever had the pleasure of following.
Well begun, half done.
That socket draw sure was purty
Like to See the Upgraded Trailer
Fantastic Joni on the semis, Cooper, you’re The Man 👌👌 Great to see the three of you going at it 😁👌👌👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
It's great to see guys working together u guys are so much fun to watch
I don't miss those double nut Budds at all! The hub pilot wheels are a huge step forward.
Cooper is a workhorse! Gettin' 'er done 🙂
You didn't mention the big red grain cart with tracks. I thought you were just trying that last year. Looks like you got it back.
They have had a demo for three harvests now if I am correct
