The best way to ensure rain is to have hay on the ground.
Or wash and wax your car.
It never fails. We had 60 acres of hay on the ground and it rained on it 3 times and it was 2 weeks from when we mowed it to when we baled it.
Or hang out the wash.
That's what my dad used to say!
Or paint a house.
It's not only the drone photography....but also..the EDITING.... you are really good , Cole..
yes he is!
Off-topic you absolutely crack me up! Stuck up in the mountains of Utah doing cancer treatments and I look forward to your videos every day. Reminiscing the good old days baling hay with my daddy.. from 1980 to 92 then we moved and had no use for any help here. I do hope that your knee is starting to heal and feel better. You did a good job putting out that fire with your 5 gallon sprayer.
Hang tough, sister!
@@QuadeQuick doing GREAT!
6:02 Cole, the conscientious agronomist, climbs down off the tractor to wax poetic on the importance of the milkweed plant, sole food source for the endangered Monarch Butterfly. A truly touching moment. Then he gets back in the machine and whacks it down to ground. Too bad butterflies! 🙄
LMAO 😂
No butterflies were harmed in the making of this video ! 😂
He just didn't video his expert guidance with that cutter...around the plant...wink...wink
For a moment, thought he was going to transplant it into the ditch🤣😎
@@randallmidgley7589 After he reads this, we'll never get another agronomy lesson.... 😂
Cole, I sincerely thank you for your dedication to education on milkweed! Very important information and your sacrifice is noted.
I do enjoy all your videos, but when you used the drone during baling, and played that music it was an "ahhhh" moment. Didn't really pay attention to the bale thingy, I just love the time I get to spend listening and watching. Thanks Cole for taking the time to include all of us.
next winter, one cow to another " this bale has a Smokey barbeque taste to it!"
Anything smoked or barbecued tastes much better. Those Critters are going to be spoiled after eating some of it.

Hi Gang!
You have some TOP OF THE LINE haying equipment!!
My first experience with balers was in 1950. Our neighbor bought an International baler that produced 40-60 pound bales tied with string. Prior to that we and he shocked hay, and or bundled it. I didn't enjoy haying one bit!
We had a lot of rattle snakes in our area, and of course they sought the cool shade under the bales!..... Had to be CAREFUL!!!
Ever once in awhile, a snake was run through the baler, and survived, and was sticking out of the bale! BOY,.... THEY were all kinds of PISSED OFF!!! A long handled sharp hoe was part of your haying equipment!, along with leather gloves and hay hooks.
Love your videos and commentary!
Best Wishes, and GOD BLESS!
Thanks for the info about the milkweed plant. I didn't know that. So thankful y'all didn't lose all of that field of hay. Prayers for rain for all that need it. Thanks for feeding us. I enjoy a good black angus steak!! Glad your knee is improving.
I love when you talk to the cows!! Great video, love you guys!
You can almost pay for that bale accumulator just by the saved where on your tractors the field and the less fuel for not having to drive all over
Exactly it really does take a good but of money out not having to have a mower or a windrower or Tedder or a another tractor to run them all
Oh wow thanks captain obvious 😁
I doubt it at least not here it wouldn't be worth it we use a truck and trailer and then one of us in the tractor grabbing three bales at once we haven't seen anything any faster we can load and run 9 miles and back in 20 min or so and the accumulated bales would do nothing for us.
@@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9 You still have to drive all over the fields with the loader and transporter, if that doesnt burn lots of fuel and wastes time, I don‘t know what does.
@@georgwagner4438 Justin saying he doesn't know that one guy could do the job instead of 2.
Great video! Loved the view from under the swather and the swathing time lapse as well as the drone views of that slick accumulator. Thanks for sharing and will continue to pray for rain.
Thank you very much!
Currently it is as dry in east-Germany as it as where you are. Some fields are already burning...
Meanwhile west-Germany was facing havy rain with more than 150 liters per square meter, which is twice the rain of a whole month. Hundreds of people died in the floodings and currently hundrets of farmers and other voluntairs are helping out there.
I guess rain is as bad distributed as money...
I understand how it’s more useful to have the bales lined up in an nice row. But it’s much more picturesque when they are sprinkled across the field. 😎
7/14 is your next and only chance of rain that is forecasted. It appears the morning dew is what's keeping all the plants alive. I hope you receive decent rain on the near future. Thanks for feeding America 🇺🇸
People don’t realize how much hard work farming takes! Hats off to you guys! Praying that you get some rain soon!
Funny how you went from talking about the milkweed plant to “milking” the hay fire 🔥 video for all its worth! I really enjoy your unique camera angles and the time you take to elaborate on different aspects of farm jobs you guys perform.
Glad to see that those 2 pieces had some thick grass for You. I live by Glencoe MN and the hay and grass fields are really bad. Neighbor said He only got about a third of a crop on first cutting compared to other years. My heart goes out to all Farmers and Ranchers suffering through this drought.
Yes I did enjoy the milkweed talk, dangit!
This is the 2nd farming video that mentioned Milkweed and Monarch butterflies.
I never realized that, i am going to promote them in my wooded area. People are always amazed that they see a Monarch butterfly here and claim they haven't seen them in forever.
I love milkweed I found out that the flower almost smells like lilac sent loved it
Milkweeds are a pain in fields & hay land, but in other areas they are fine, just wish they wouldn’t invade the the fields, then I’d be fine with them.
Just yesterday I saw bunch of milkweed behind a shopping center. I didnt know what it was. Thank You.
Huge amount of respect and love from Iceland towards Cole for taking time and effort, specially with his leg problem, to get those great shots!!!
Gyyy
@@Stan-eb7nz ea
I live on the Monarch migration route in Ohio. I had a cubic, metric crap-ton of common milkweed. And I used to have massive quantities of butterflies. I used to keep an acre or so fallow just for milkweed for the butterflies. Gave away the seeds for kids to grow their own. I could walk out in the field and several fresh hatchlings would land on me cause the trees were already 3 deep. Or maybe I just look like a tree. Or maybe a 1/2 hour old monarch cant navigate worth a crap. But the last 4 years or so I only see maybe 1 or 2 monarchs all season. Sad.
Im glad to see you doing better and better after your operation. Have a great day!
Great time watching the bailing. I know my old Uncle Fred is applauding from heaven at the changes.
Love watching whole cutting n bailing process...and was great drone flight!!
I love what you do, I am olso a farmer from eastern europe with 500 hectares and 250 cows and i learned a lot from your video !
We have 2500 cow's
Monarchs lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves. The caterpillars that hatch feed only on milkweed. One plant like that probably doesn't have any activity on it, but find a good patch of milkweed and you could easily find 50 eggs in a square yard.
Thanks for adding to my useless, aka utterly useful, knowledge base👍
You and your family always make me smile .Cole you do a great job on the video and describing things
Cole, thanks to your dad and you for making my day and 1000 of other peoples day. Love y'all videos and thank you and your dad for all y'all do for us.
Appreciate your comments every video Steve!
@@briansonne814 I love your channel and all of the funny things that you and Cole say. It really makes this old man happy for a while when I see that you posted a new video.
Cole Sonne, you are amazing! Botanist, knee recuperatist,MoCotist,backupitist into barn, now baleist. You are just a plain jack of all tradeist . Still prayin that knee hurry’s up and gets better quick. Can’t wait to see the clave deliveratist in action.
Thanks Cole for all your effort getting the camera in different positions. It can't be easy getting in and out of the tractors to get the different views. Your efforts are much appreciated.
Awesome video thanks Cole I'm glad you're able too save the hay crop losing only one bale. We've had 2 hay bale fires in a week. Over 900 bales lost thanks fer sharing. Two different farmers. Heal up dad needs your help.
Loved the drone shots for sure! Slick work. Nice looking hay, given the drought conditions. The claves will eat this winter. Nice to see your knee healing, take care everyone.
Love your sense of humor! 🤗👏🏼
Thanks for the great video. Enjoyed the video. Really good hay shots with the drone showing baling hay and how neat the attachment you have on the baler is for dropping the bales in a line. So neat. Saves time when picking them up to move them. Neat idea. Glad your knee continues to improve. You are getting around on it fairly good-great!!!!!
Hot temps your way and ours in central Iowa. We are just like you, need RAIN badly for the crops. Hopefully will rain SOON!!!! Thanks for your time to do the video. Appreciate that so we can follow along. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Really great to see how the mower works! The baler is amazing. I loved the drone video showing how bales can be dropped where you want them without having to stop!!
That was great drone footage. 👌 I love watching you guys work so well together. Glad to see your knee is doing better. I live in Texas and we haven't had much rain either but more than you guys. Will do my part and pray for rain for ya'll.
I've never seen a milkweed like that. Thank you ! Love the Monarchs ! I hope that bum knee heals up.
Cole, glAd to see you are doing so well.
Cool to see that bale accumulator function! Make for a nice addition to our farm. 👍
I have a feeling that demo won’t be leaving anytime soon. Works pretty awesome looks like!
Entire video is picture perfect - as always. Thanks Cole
Great job..i was a nurse for 25yrs ..but the funnest job i had was mowing the runway areas at a cropdusting airport...very satisfying on a tractor all day!
Praying fir a good rain to come your way- and just have to say, that drone footage never fails to impress, with the editing of course.👍👍👍👍
I do love the setup of the tractor and bailer. I know that tractor probably won't always be attached to the bailer, but I would almost believe you could take the duals off of it and it still would be good. Could even put some of those big tires on it. I'm praying that everyone in the west gets rain soon. Especially fill up the lakes and reservoirs as well. Be safe out there.
Enjoying this video after watching a small-patch Maine farmer mow his grass with a scythe, turn the windrows with a hayfork, and baling his hay by hand in a home-made wooden hay compressor.
Your videos inspired me to start sharing about our farm on youtube, so thank you, and keep sharing!
I feel like Ellie could use a trip to the groomer in this heat. Just to knock off some undercoat. I’m sure she’d love the relief
Hey Sonne Farms! Thanks for giving me a healthy dose of "smiler's cramps" through out this video! And to top it all off, Phil. 4:6 covered even/as well the Eternal aspects of this temporal life with its ups and downs. At 74 and a farmer in some way shape or form all my life I can appreciated every aspect of this video. Haying was one thing I prided myself in and the smell of good alfalfa being made is gleefully intoxicating. My sister six years older than me, cut hay with a team of horses at age 9. Nowadays parents would be trifling with jail pulling off that kind of "help desperation!" Mercy. I trust, hope, pray your knee heals up perfectly. In Yahweh's love and my care, see you on the "streets of gold." mg
What a team - good job, boys !!!!! As long u make the super videos - we will be here to watch them !!!! Keep babying that knee!!!
We are all grateful that the fire was contained, i must say i am appreciating my food like never before, always a foodie, but the gratitude i have for your hard career paths! Honestly Americans are so lucky to have people like your family in charge of food production I’m not sure how represented the family farms are the the scheme of what makes it to my table. I eat meat and for me today and past 60 years i love small delicious portions that nourish my body.
Great vid! We use the accumulators on our jd round balers also.we drop the bales on one end of the fields,less chasing bales,quicker,less compaction on the grass
always look forward to seeing Sonne Farms videos.. the drone footage was amazing.. that is an amazing piece of equipment. we had a real dry June here along the coast of Maine. got a good rain from the hurricane that came up from the gulf. Hope u get rain soon.
Great video! My 4 year old loved learning about hay bailing. The drone footage at the end was the best.
Hey Cole! Thank you for showing us everything that you do on the farm. I will soon be farming and it was great to learn some things from you. I look forward to more educational vids. Praying for rain for you. Greetings from Missouri.
I have 20 acres of hay fields. Until I purchased the land I had no idea of the hard work that goes into farming. You ladies and gentlemen are awesome.

What the fuck?@@TransKidsMafia
Another great vlog Cole! The drone footage is really fun to watch.
Glad 2 see u in this video and your progression after surgery.......God bless u !
I come from an island and live near a city and I have to say I appreciate the work farmers do. I just watched a video about grain bins and how they work. I admire the hard and honest work 👍🏽
great video and so happy for you guys that you didn't lose much hay to the fire
Great vid cole we cut hay back in late may and early June but it has been really dry here in central Arkansas (in the area of where we live) and the grass just ain’t growing much but we’re not feeding hay yet so that’s a blessing stay safe and keep rollin! Also how bad are flys on your cattle up there down here there pretty bad. But we worked a herd last week and treated them for it.
I would gladly send some IL rain your way! That being said, the local farmers might not let me😉
The corn & soybeans are shooting up & the hay is green.
Stay safe & I’ll pray for some much needed precipitation for you guys!!🙏🌧🌧🙏
Pray you get a heavy rain don't know about a fat rain i'm from North Carolina a 79 year old woman that admire you working side by side with your dad
It's dry out on the prairies here In Canada 🇨🇦 we need rain!!!! Sweet video
Awesome drone footage. It gives a birds eye view of what goes on. Interesting stuff! How dry is it?..... It's so dry I saw 2 trees fighting over a dog!😄 Thanks for sharing!
L o l
I thought the same thing...about the drone footage. That othe sentence is foul
Good to see you're back & able to help Dad , he sure depends on you. You're starting to get sun burn on your face , better get some Coppertone. Love you guys
Your dad is left handed. Always great seeing a left hander
This was a great video for me. I know little about this sort of thing and want to learn. I did appreciate you taking the time to climb down with a sore knee to educate us about the milkweed! I love the multiple camera angles you use! I always worry about the camera falling off when mounted outside. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to share your life, work and love with us!
Good stuff as usual. That thing drops the bales nicely on the move....although I am jealous of the flatness of your fields...
Just watching some older videos and then checked subs. Wow 170k. Great. So impressive guys. Loving it.
Thanks for the update and the drone footage glad to see your getting around a bit better
Hope by now y'all have had some rain. Praying for God's blessings, safety and good health for you and yours.

Killer drone footage! Something relaxing watching the baler and accumulator work. So much easier than stacking small squares on the hay wagon and up in the loft for my Grandfather when I was a teenager in the 80's.
😎👍 〽️
The appreciation is reciprocal Cole. You appreciate us watchin, and we sure appreciate you sharin brother. You keep doin what your a doin. We sure do appreciate you showing us that tenacity is the way to keep this thing going. I won't even touch the rain situation other than to say there are two extremes to everything, and moderation and uniformity seldom prevail. God Bless you gentlemen. May you get the precipitation you deserve brothers. Cheers.
Thanks you are a good viewer!
Man Im happy I found this channel my UA-cam recommendations have been great lately.
Glad to hear it!
Love that hay baler. I shake my head in wonder and wish I could meet the person/s who designed it.
Gillette over in Northeast Wyoming is on their 2nd year of not being able to cut any hay, so your doing great.
Thoughts and prayers continue for those in drought situation. Parts and Missouri! we are just Opposite too much. No in between Does not seem
hope you get rain soon
Sadly I no longer live in Wyoming however I follow " Our Wyoming Life" a great UA-cam family that runs a cow/ calf ranch. Great channel. Check it out, shows the daily working of a beef producer.
Hi there from Athabasca, Alberta, Canada about 2 hrs north of the provincial capital, Edmonton. We run about 130 mixed cattle bred to purebred red Angus & hay approximately 300-400 ac. grass/alfalfa mix depending on weather. We had a good wet spring with plenty of rain but haven't had much rain either in last 5 wks. Volume of hay in the fields is down to other years. We did get 6/10's of an inch rain 4 days ago. So far we have put it all up dry. We can do single wrapped haylage bales if necessary. Hoping & praying you get rain there soon. God bless. From the Parmley's 🇨🇦
Well I'm glade I found you. That was Awesome and I love that two bale catcher it's awesome too. I Thank You all for all the hard work you do for this world I hope it don't get any worse and gets much better. Thank You again. And Gorgeous land. I'll be watching all your videos now and you also got a new subscriber too. Later Sir.
I wish I could send you some of our rain!!
That's what I was thinking too! Meanwhile in Alabama we can't cut hay because of it raining everyday it seems.
Great video! It's a tough year for a lot of people, but regardless keep up the great work.
Very proud to surport channle for this family and keep the one liners going they make me lol fall of information on how we get food and how you all make us understand the chemicals as we have know clue what's in food thank you for a fun channle I'm Darren sir from uk glad to be here in a good community
Pray every day for farmers all around the world!
I'll be here next time to see how you're going to top the drone footage and milk weed story. Praying you get rain!
Similar problem with poor grass growth here in Ireland but our problem here is to wet and cold land is nearly too wet to travel
God Bless you Brother your Dad reminds me of my Dad a lot and I love his words every time! Thanks for working extra hard in the heat and while you don’t feel very good from your knee I’m sorry Brother I had 3 surgeries on my knee and I was able to get an abundance of multiple pain meds during that time. It’s good to be safe about meds but it’s important to be able to have some during extreme times for the strain on your heart from the pain. It’s important for your heart health to not be squirming in pain. Be safe and focus on things that distract you well until it’s better and absolutely do not push too hard and destroy more like I did exactly. ❤️😏🖖🏼🇺🇸
That baler dropper is pretty cool! Never seen that before!
I know baleing is one of your favorite jobs Brian. Do you like it even more now with the new machine ? It looked very efficient as we watched it from the Drone.
WHITE LEGS!? Keep Dad's and Uncle Jeff's shirts on, if not, you will blind everything west of the Mississippi. And that is all I have to say about that.
We use to call it farmer tan. My dad's face, neck, hands & arms to where his sleeves started were well tanned. Everywhere else he was glow in the dark pale. He never worked in shorts.
May Father was a roofer all his work life... He had a two tone body, white legs and a brown upper body. He got a lot of looks when we went to the beach.
My legs haven't seen daylight since the great sunburn of"89".
Those drone shots are amazing….. That baler is awesome too….
Loved the milk weed info. 🤣🤣 dang’it!!👏👏 thankful y’all got that fire out! Wow scare. Praying for your rain✝️💜
Don’t let Brian get hungry!!!
I had to dem the brightness on my phone because of your legs lol
😎
Them Bushy lites and pain meds are making you friggggn Brilliant!!!! This was your best one yet. Thanks Guys
Perspective is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. Ya'll been working on a farm all your lives more than likely, and do a lot of work that is not shown. I consider ya'll luckier then most because, yes it is hard work, ya'll get to witness the hardships and miracles of mother nature. You get to enjoy the good and the bad. A lot of people have to work inside of a building or facility for years of their careers and are never touched by rain, snow, or sunshine. Doing what ya'll do is more than a blessing to the everyone around you, it's a blessing of, and to, life. I only wish that I had been luck enough to be able to do what ya'll have done, instead of the career that I had. You and your family are very blessed. God Bless You
When I was young my grandpa told me milkweed is bad for cattle, we always had dairy cows, after seeing this I looked it up, it can be toxic to cattle.
I was told some type of weeds can taint the taste of milk if eaten
Sort of ironic - you'd think with a name like milkweed it'd be essential to dairy farms!
Cows giving powdered milk
Awesome drone video👍🙏 hope knees get better soon👍Aloha from Hawaii🤙😎🏝
That was some high quality drone footage Cole. Great video.
Mate, that “white legs warning” came to late😳😳 ...😂 As for your drone video, absolutely kick ass with a great choice of music 👍 Hope you guys got some rain by now😉
The accumulator is slick. Wonder how it would work on a hillside>
It would be great on a hillside as long as you don't mind if the bales all roll to the bottom. 😉
@@dalegereaux1863 I was thinking maybe haul them all to the top where you can get a longer role. 😎🤣
Great drone footage as well as camera placement on and under various pieces of equipment. Your video production is terrific. Wishing you and your family another blessed week and quenching rains. Peace brother
Great drone video. Thank you for sharing that with us. Also the milkweed and Monarch Butterflies was a nice addition to the video. We have a lot of butterflies and milkweed here in Michigan.
