After your lawyer gets you a settlement please publish the contractor who did your bins so no one else gets treated like you have
If they settle, I’m sure the contractor will put in a no name settlement
I don’t live too far from them. Small towns all around us, everyone knows everyone type deal. I could tell ya who did it
@@farmerj4687 Have they been in business long?
It should be condemned.... I wish they would fix the hand railings and do a full inspection of every nut, bolt, rivit and weld before some one falls to their death.
@@GoogleSpyZon Yeah the railing would scare the hill out of me, I thought for a moment that DC fell.
I got pretty nervous when Daddy CornStar was up on the bin and the rails were soooo loose.. I was panicking…. Please get that fixed..
scared me for a minute after he popped that cover door. thought he dropped the camera or fell
yes i was freaking my self,ill take double my meds to calm down....
Same. This is uncool.
Omg I just seen! If something happens to anyone of them I'm going to hunt that company down. Dose anyone know the name of the company?!
I hope they aren't taking too much of a risk by holding the camera in one hand leaving only the other hand to hang on to the railings.
I see Daddy Cornstar struggling with brand new equipment that he should be able to push a button on and it work. I hope you've got the best attorney a farmer can have. I feel for you all. The other thought is, Cole you made me laugh so much explaining the biologicals. Oh, I hope you always keep that sense of humor!
Cole is not over exaggerating the putrid aroma at all. Been there, used a product like that.
I legitimately concerned for yalls safety at those bins. 😱
Yes, i'm surprised the county has a slapped an order on the whole site.

Back in the 70s my grandpa used to put rubber snakes in different locations on top of his bins! He told me that he never had problems with birds. Give it a try!
Cole! DO NOT let Dad back on top of the Grain Bins! I've never seen such bad construction.
I used a propane cannon with a motion tracker to scare off birds from my feed silos. Worked very good apart for scaring the crap out of me a few times.
Too much stress will do that to you Daddy Cornstar. It brings down your immune system. Get your rest !! 🧡
It's a huge impact on ur immune system. I recently had Avery stressful two weeks and I'm sick now that's it's over.
Stress can literally kill ya.
Mannnnnn watching Daddy Cornstar EVEN TRYING to maneuver up there on top of the bin site with HOW unstable the handrails and stuff are has my heart sitting in my throat.......
Yeah, there for a minute. I thought he had lost his footing till I realized he had to make tracks fast to shut the auger down
I totally agree and it scares me to death. We had compared to the height of those ladders a minor almost deadly situation with a step missed by my husband coming down an extension ladder 2 years ago. He fell and broke the head of the femur right off and broke numerous ribs. It was horrible! Although it was a healthy fall it was nothing compared to off those steps on the bins. That would be deadly. I took care of a patient who fell off his single story home landing on his head who ended up a quadriplegic with 2 young children. He was putting up Christmas lights. It doesn’t take much. I just wish they could gets those bins safely useable but my fear is it’s going to take years.
I was gonna type the same thing! If i was going up there id need atleast 2 pairs of underwear! Hope he stays safe!!
Man you guys got screwed bad they took your million dollars and ran. You got a million dollars worth of junk
The company I work for had equipment that runs outside as well as indoors. For the outdoors or non-heated installations we can and often add a thing called heat tape to various parts. It's flexible heating tape that gets wired to power. When turned out it keeps that part warm to prevent freezing. That might help you out.
Y'all have to get a harness, caribiner and hook points on that bin before someone falls. I worry for DC
yeah but everything you would attach it to is either broken or loose because of the shoddy workmanship of their appallingly bad contactor - i worry for them all because that is a nasty accident waiting to happen.
can you please not climb around on that rickety bin setup with a camera in your hand..... It's not worth getting hurt. 3 points of contact at all times!!!!
The bin site people…. I know we aren’t seeing the behind the scenes one what you are doing but I’d be a royal prick. They even knew how many people watch your videos yet still did not care. It’s pathetic really. If I was AGI I’d be out there fixing this. It’s literally a death trap.
Wow, the railings on the bins is enough for a good lawsuit. Here’s hoping y’all get a good inspection and every issue fix with from this terrible work and hopefully take this company down. What a shame. Be safe out there Cornstarch family. 🤟🏻🇺🇸✌🏻❤️
Cole when your Dad went on top to check how full that bin was.........well I got angry at how lousy of a job they did, everything he touched seemed to be loose or not even attached. Wow! I really hope you all get it straightened out. I'd be spitting nails.
Man I'd be so mad if that happened to me. That is just plain lazy. That is an attention to detail work. Crazy
tbh it wouldn't take long to tighten the nuts
Hey guys, I live up in Alaska. Heres a safer way to thaw stuff. Go buy a 3' piece of 6" woodstove pipe and a 6" 90° elbow. Put the two together and take a couple bricks or rocks to prop it up so the opening of the 90° is under your auger or oilpan of a vehicle. Stick a propane weed burner in the other end of the pipe. There will only be intense heat coming out of the elbow, no flames.
We do this to vehicles, heavy equipment, etc. Good luck guys!
Yes def freezes at +19 deg F. But no damage done. Trucks have tank heaters and line heaters to thaw it out. It must be available (liquid state) to be injected 30 min after a cold start. No idea if AG equipment is any different, I would assume it is very similar. The only exceptions are diesel fire trucks and ambulances. All others will comply, or the epa will come knocking in the middle of harvest or planting which ever time is worse for u!
The safety issues on those bins are deeply concerning. Be careful
I'm surprised their insurance tolerates this.
I wouldn't use those stairs for nothing till someone fixex them. That's a fatal accident waiting to happen.
For sure. Keep one hand on the rail at all times. Don't worry about filming up there.
Grew up in WI and we just kept a pellet gun handy and popped the sparrows and nuisance birds. They learned real quick not to come back.
If you're not up for take ng out invasive species you can use decoys, or any type of moving fluttering flags/tape
Riden with Biden. Good job America. 👍
Hang CD's on fishing line...they hate it! I drove a murder of crows away using them!
A kerosene torpedo heater is handy for that type of situation
1,000,000 project. Shouldn’t a project manager have been hired. Someone (farmer or project manager ) should have seen bin wasn’t caulked. in construction you should be making draws as contractor hits different phases of the job. Money isn't released till everything is finished .
Bingo!
“I’m like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible!” *hums Pink Panther theme song*
Wow!! At this rate that bin site needs taken down and reassembled properly before it or someone falls.
Did you just go with the cheapest bids on the bin site? Because no one did their job well except the electrician buddy of yours.
DEF does freeze its mostly water
Don’t forget to like the video!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰
I could just see daddy cornstar going head over heels off that bin!! I hope you are able to fix the bin site proplems soon as its making me ill with worry xx 😌❤
I think I'd rather see a black screen with the text "Daddy Cornstar went on top of the bins..." than have that horrid feeling I had when I saw him holding the camera up there and all the rails wobbling! I'm sure we'd all understand if you don't want to risk filming whilst up there. Stay safe. Great content as always.
For the bird problem, I don’t know if it will work for grain bins but my high school puts a plastic owl in the bleachers to keep birds out, and it sure does work!! Keep up the good work Cole, I love the way you edit your videos!
I have to say that’s very upsetting about your guys bin site is very unsafe and unstable that it could kill someone. You got to go after the contractor who’s responsible for this.
Do you mean the biological chemical smells worse than rotting soybeans ? 😉
That Bin site is just …. So sorry you have to go through that ! But please please be careful!
The air leaking at base isn't unheard of and the static pressure isn't impacted dramatically. With that said shouldn't be like that on a new bin. You can still get a hot rubber seal on the outside done to correct but should go on top of the settlement with contractor. Will have 4-5" black band all the way around but will be sealed. It's what should have been done on the inside or a good EM seal. Sorry to see all the issues you've been burdened with. I'd think the contractor would want to settle before someone gets hurt and the lawsuit grows astronomically.
You should seriously consider having Rotary Level Indicators (Bindicators) installed at minimum in the half full and full position on every bin you have. They can be written in to your program to automatically disconnect the equipment that is feeding the elevator or at the very least have lights illuminated to tell you when they are full. Believe me when I say that after some time passes, climbing to the top all the time to check will begin to lose some of its appeal 😐🤭
And they could also add visible indicators every ring or two on wet storage and overhead bins to watch progress of filling. I can't remember brand name, black/yellow color change when grain is at that level and they can be seen easily at night from the ground with a flashlight. Also put one at next to top ring on storage bins and it will eliminate climbing until the very end of filling.
My suggestion for keeping birds off your bins is to not have an open access panel spraying corn all over the place every time you run the leg.
I don't know how long that situation was going on for, but I figure they got used to the excellent, safe food source you were providing and will probably keep coming back for a while looking for more.
Hey you guys be careful on those bins. Shut that crap down before somebody gets hurt. I don't care how much grain you have, it's not worth one of your lives.
It is impressive to see y'all work with a new bin site that should just function and not display the aggravation you must feel and articulate off camera. I can assure you, I wouldn't be able to keep the edge off my voice or body language. I am praying for a just and speedy resolution to this situation which must cause not only aggravation but also stress. Thanks to Cole and DC for your good example. Stay warm. God bless!
Viewers have seen the loose handrails on the grain bins for several videos now. It is well documented for legal purposes. Before breaking a leg or killing myself trying to make a point about shabby construction, I would buy $100 worth of 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 bolts and stabilize that stuff
Take care Daddy Cornstar!!
The daily stress has lightened up some.
I hope your bin site is fixed in the near future!
Thank you guys for all you do. Sorry you fell pray to the pathetic work ethic we are seeing in this country right now. I know what it is like to have a dream then build it to find out some people just don.t give a crap. Good luck.
FYI diesel exhaust fluid freezes at about 11 degrees if not agitated. Most truckstops have issues with dispensing at or below that temperature in the winter.
There's a "caulk" called "no-roost", I think. Look were the roost on the bins and apply this stuff. There is one thing birds hate is get anything stuck to their feet.
I’m sure glad daddy cornstar made it down safely. Safety first gents
I hope that company that built your sight. Goes out of business. Shame on them for the poor unsafe product.
DEF does freeze. Saw some gallon jugs at a truck stop. Everyone that was left outside was a frozen block.

It’s really a disgrace how shoddy and cheap their work was. Sure hope settled soon
Cole have you brought in the state building inspectors,to check for code violations?
Umm yeah that be great. Then can't use at all smart
I hope you guys rightfully get what’s coming to you - that new bin setup is a disgrace! It’s really dangerous for y’all.
Had trouble with pigeons at a hospital I worked at. Told the head engineer to make peregrine falcon nests on high points. Once the falcons moved in, the pigeons went elsewhere
Know what you mean DC, I’m loaded on NyQuil and watching Corn Stars 😩
The condition of the bins, being brand new and having everything fall apart is just deplorable. Sue them into the ground. Speaking of driving a different truck, at UPS everything runs on seniority. So I had one of the nicest tractors there. I ran Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back every night. But every year, for tax purposes, every tractor has to be taken out of state. So for 58 days I had to take a different tractor each day. Some drove nice, some were total junk just used for local routes. It usually took a few hours to figure each one out as to their little quirks.
That Whole POS needs to be taking down and Redone.... Nothing Works... Every time you fix something it breaks again OR Something Else goes Out. Honestly has there Ever Been a Day Everything has worked?
Hate to be you driving them 400 horse going to 550. Let me know my dad works at RB. FYI I started driving OTR in a 379 with an ISX at 550. I left it to drive a 379 c15 with 700 hp. Cole no not for you! My question is is the rise in fuel going up according to corn raises?
I would not recommend going up those insecure ladders on the bins without harnesses and clipping yourself to *anything* that is stable up there. Honestly, someone's gonna get hurt!
Maybe You should take those loose bin rails and beat the guy that installed them like that! Really You all should not be going up without safety belts on up there!
i feel bad for both contractor and you. in the end i hope you dont publish their names. it wouldnt be good. because they probably weren't qualified to do that kind of job you asked of them to do. both are at fault. it's not just one sided here. obviously it sucks. but the amount of time given wasnt enough time clearly. people here want that company gone, but you should have researched them more to tackle the job, blame goes both ways. it just does.
Scare birds with those hawks on flexy rods?
Local bus station keeps pigeons and seagulls away with three flexy hawks.
Do you think you could make some longer videos for a guy like me please... Thank you.... Jonjon... JJ...
Make sure you clean all your corn up that you spill and soybeans clean grain bin site eliminates rats and birds
My heart skipped a beat, I thought for a split second that DC fell when he was up checking how full the bins were. Glad is is OK!
Please reinforce those welds on your bin ladders and hand rails. Every time you're up on that rickety thing I almost can't watch!!
DC you probably had adrenaline withdraw. The stress of harvest must oof caused your body to produce more. Then you crash when it goes back to normal.
Between fuel, fertilizer and that bin site the cornstars are going ro need a go fund me to stay afloat. I dont know how farmers and ranchers can survive this right now. As a nation we are in big trouble.
We need to start starving out the fine folk's in the clown house and on clown hill.
I've kept my anger off your channel, but who in the world did your contractor hire??? The 3 fricking stooges???? This entire site is a mess. I'd be ashamed to even admit my contractor crew put this up.
Ive seen a couple big ag depots, use electronic repesters. Some use hawk sounds, some use a frequency, the birds cant stand. I dont have any company, or product names, just info. Good luck.
Sorry about being late watching this, but My Bluegrass Music goes for 3 hours and There is a Station in Galax Virginia That also does Bluegrass and Gospel Music too.
Try owl statues 🦉. To keep the birds away. Grounds keepers for mansions near the beach. Swear by them. Apparently even a small 6 inch statue can work for small places. Like the porch. Or top of grain bin
The cracks in the concrete pad scares me. Once winter comes, melts and freezes in those cracks your foundation will be screwed!!!! So sorry for all that company did wrong!!!
What the Hell!! You guys must have the most dangerous catwalks and guard rails on any blindsight I have ever seen. Not Good.
I realize this isn't the correct video for this question, but figured I would ask here anyway.
Do you know how much more fuel you burn, when you run with the Devastators? I would assume it's minor, and way cheaper than going back over the fields chopping.
Bird detergent- 410, 177, fake raptors. Give it a go. Only film the third option ok.
I am so sorry for all of your bin site problems… so wrong. 👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏👏😊❤️
100% you guys should NOT GO UP on them bins Extremely not safe at all this needs to be fix ASAP please
When will we see the video of your wedding to your beautiful, pregnant wife? When is the baby coming? It’s exciting news! Don’t hide the fact you’re having a baby and got married. Those are 2 beautiful gifts of love! Don’t be afraid or feel embarrassed. Babies are miracles no matter when they come! ❤
Love ya guys, even with all the frustration you always make me smile 😀❤️❤️❤️👍👍
To keep birds away, put some toy rubber snakes on the roof and hanging from the gutters. Birds hate snakes and won't build nest nearby if they see them.
Your bin site is Super Dangerous...... those broken handrails will get someone killed.
Sorry Cole you have it all wrong. The dogs are ham 2 and 3, Daddy Cornstar is 4. Upto you to work out who is number 1
$45k to $108k.. thats Bidenomics. Build back better
Birds???? I know a boy named Ralphie and he has a Red Ryder BB Gun. Let me know if you want his contact info. 😂
That semi truck looks like a old Leprino Foods semi.
Def has a freezing point of 12 degrees fahrenheit.
Cole they got to get that bin fixed really soon. With the snow and ice coming, it scares the -- out of me for your Dad and all of you crawling around on that steel ice rink without safety rails. Good Lord.
HERES ANOTHER THOUGHT... IF THE METALS ON YOUR BUILD ARE SO FLIMSY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A TORNADO HITS...EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE SLAMMED WITH YOUR BIN...HOUSES, CARS, ANIMALS, PEOPLE; MILES AROUND, THAT WILL BE TERRIBLE...JUST SAYING...HOLD THE MANUFACTORS TO ACCOUNT, MAYBE YOUR ATTORNEY. SHOULD BE INVOLVED
Hi papa Corn star why don't you strap some fake falcons on your catwalk, scarecrow tactic that might solve your problem
Cole you still got those bad tonsils???? WHY?? Do yourself a favor and get them out before spring planting. No more stones, sore throats and gravel voice. You'll feel a lot better.
11:15 Smorgasbord is great. Have you tried the cake? Always best day after greetings 🇸🇪
If he’s reading this…..Cooper needs to post a video on the crop duster stuff. Impressive stuff right there.
Maybe the backhoe would have worked better digging out those stumps, looked pretty big. That bin site though, going to take alot of work to fix all of those problems, so frustrating I'm sure!!
Millions spent and you have to use a wheel with charcoal to fix your leg. I can.t image how disappointed and angry you guys are. Your contractor should never be able to do this to anybody again. I hope you put them out of business. Gook Luck!
Serious Question: Why dig stumps that large? Isn't there a "new" chemical I remember hearing about where you mill it down, drill out the core, put it in, and wait? It may take some time but no lawn destruction.
You guys have a very dangerous new bin setup. That is terrible. I hope you guys don't fall.
I do hope you name that contractor when this all over and done with. I know you have to keep an eye on the bins guys but that is very dangerous it is all falling apart. Please all off you be careful when going near those bins. Was really worried about daddy corn star being up there. Please take care all off you and really enjoy the channel.
Daddy CornStar please stop going up to the very top with those flimsy supports! Too scary! Please
Great job helping out Noah. I am getting really scared of y'all climbing on those bins. Please be care. Thank you guy very much
Our local Auto dealership projects bird alarm calls and raptor calls to keep birds off their new cars. A local hotel uses plastic, motorized owls to keep birds away.O
Cleaning machinery good thing to help check mice and rats in check. But when they make insulation for wiring out of peanut shells for garbage trucks oh boy mice have a hay day.
