Tell me what I am jealous of. Success? Makes half a million off the farm and can't pay farm bills. Yep so jealous of that. Has hundreds of thousands of watchers and has no respect from the ag community. How many magazines and articles have been about him being a good farmer? Zero. Nothing I am jealous of about him.
Genius gone bad...in my humble opinion, after he raised over $70K for his girl-friends parents church in one day, he realized that there was a beautiful money tree waiting for him and he decided to pick it clean. The last video he posted, I commented that it was disappointing that the channel had become a "beg-a-thon". I watched a couple of his live-streams and I was amazed on the amount of money he made (thousands) in an hour. Considering the Google Adsense Revenue, donations, sponsorships, and who knows what other benefits, he was riding high! His house remodel...he can't have one master bedroom, he needs three? And of course, there must be a in-home theater. For all the farmers struggling to make ends meet, it's a bad image to portray. I want, I want, I want...and I need your money! It is his right to do what he wants with his channel; it is my right not to watch or support the greed and grift. Thanks for posting your video! It makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only person thinking something is not right here.
I don’t think that he really saw his viewers as a personal money tree I think he did say that his viewers were very loyal to him and he was just asking for help however I don’t think he was using his fan base as a personal money through though however I can kind of see why you think that that’s your opinion you’re entitled to that but I’m just saying I don’t think that’s exactly what Cole the corn star Saw all I see is a farmer who was having to play a Time game on top of other things and wasn’t able to do the best job with the new green bin site and he just said that all of the proceeds after he opened up a online merchandise store goes to the new bin site
I think that kind of self-satisfied judgment does a disservice to a lot of farmers who have razor thin margins. If we all put our cards on the table you’d be surprised to learn how many farmers are barely breaking even.
@@cmleoj And yet here we all are bitching about how someone else is choosing to handle their business. What makes any of us any better than Cole...I'll wait.
I've gave money for grain Ben sight rescue and a girl in Montana needing head surgery, not going to pay for farm equipment ever, I am keeping track of 13 different farming chanels. If you look at what he is making off of u tube im ? Why he is asking for $. You are correct to bring this up. Good job.
Something that you may want to consider is how many people outside of the farming community are now watching farming related videos because of ctc. Learning more about the hard work goes into farming in America. Never have I heard anyone on his channel be unprofessional or belittled anyone. So before you reduce youself to petty name calling think how he is helping all farmers. It only makes you sound jealous. Good luck.
I was thinking the same thing...this man sounds like he wished he had of thought of it !! Cole is a decent human being, something that this man wished he was...you dont knock people down, you build them up...at least he's making something of his life, instead of being a deadbeat...It sad that people such as this man, and i listened enough of his garbage that I knew I wouldn't listen to the entire video, the one person that needs to grow up is him !! By the way, I think its pure GENIUS...

@Sheryl Bentley to say somebody's jealous from one adult to the other is absolutely ignorant and childish.

As far as him being a representative or quote-unquote educator to the non farmer I think he is a horrible example.

So let’s get this straight, he’s a modern farmer whose working along side of his family and has a huge audience. Something you can’t claim. Have some pride and don’t rag on people who are doing farming right . Keep your trap shut, get a haircut and trying walking your own path. Be proud of your own accomplishments and you will be blessed, talk about other people and you’ll find yourself alone in a corner. Cole, speaks from his heart works hard to keep the land he stewards productive and respects the world he walks in. So he like every other small business owner needs additional seed money that’s the way our world works. Kevin
I think (as a watcher from a long distance away) the Minnesota Millenial Farmer's (and his wife's) fundraiser for grain silo rescue equipment for rural first responder services etc is the type of online fundraiser that has merit (helping real people get the right equipment to save rural lives). Suggested watches for lower subscription YT farmers 1) 22K subs 'The Jackson Brothers' - 3 brothers in Northern NSW, Queensland, Australia with earthmoving and farming operations. 2 x Cat D11s etc. 2) 15K subs 'Triple R Farms' in Alabama .
Triple r or Daniel is a great guy. Talked to him a few times and just a down to earth family loving honest working man.. not saying the cornstar family isn't I have respect for the father ..
Kip Ziegler does similar things to promote the dairy industry. I appreciate that his family sponsors events like free DQ cones for June dairy month and scholarships to students going to school for agriculture.
I don’t think that things going “against your values” (for me it’s pan handling/begging your viewers for money) is “Cancel Culture”. I don’t think Me saying maybe I should not support a company that supports “this type of farmer” is considered cancel culture. I view it as a Personal Choice, such as maybe Ag Leader, Goodyear/Titan Tires, or Unverferth Products are NOT for Me if they Openly Support someone who Receives FREE Products for Use, but Still has The Audacity to BEG His Viewers for Money (while Making Money Off of His Viewers), During The BEST Grain Markets in DECADES including Yearly Profit Margin for 2021(2022 is a Different Story), The BEST Yields in DECADES, FREE USE of Sponsored Products, and also SUEING his Grain Bin Builder/Manufacturer. That is just me making a choice not to support companies that support individuals who do not lineup with my personal values.
@@taylor11089 as a personal choice, that’s not cancel culture. Cancel culture inciting others to pool your collective disgust and harm the target’s income stream. He said something to the effect: “maybe we should start sending emails to his advertisers and tell them ‘not gonna happen buddy, not gonna buy your products as long as you support this little turd”. That to me sounds so petty and just rubs my live-and-let-live outlook the wrong way.
@@taylor11089 he didn’t just say he wasn’t going to support them though. He said we need to email them and tell them blah blah blah.. trying to incite anyone he can to join his cause and that’s TEXTBOOK cancel culture no matter how you’ve incorrectly defined it in your own head so you sleep better a night knowing you’ve fell hook line and sinker into the silly ass modern day leftist social media warrior mindset.

I mean let’s be honest….. their farm wouldn’t exist any longer if it wasn’t for UA-cam….. you don’t ask for a damn handout…. Especially when you just bought a newer tractor, combine, both heads, and a newer pickup…….

I’m pretty sure those windmills scattered on their farm fetches a pretty penny. Did you notice he didn’t even bring them up when he was doing his analyzing on line awhile back.
@@geedubb2005 He did mention them a while back. One or two on their property and the others on someone else's property. He did not say how income they provided.
No, you are not wrong. He is annoying and not a good representative of the farming community. He must be making a ton of money from UA-cam and merchandise because even his Dad, who didn't seem to eager to be filmed in the beginning now not only is an active participant but he has his own channel now. Personally, I think he and his family are laughing all the way to the bank. There are some really good farming UA-cam sites that don't act like a gradeschooler. Those are the ones I gravitate to.
His page went to crap.. i unfollowed him. .. no content. Bashing hard work contractors, begging for money. Didnt account for the way more money donated for the church then was needed. Now begging for money again to pay his way... there harvest looked like a bunch of newbie farmers. Claims to be a Christian while living with a woman. And it only comes up when theres a need. Plus since his sister started editing its allways a drama title, lame music, and no content... it seen its day. I recommend LARSON FARMS, WELKER, 10TH GENERATION FARMER, .. AND MABEY MILLENNIAL FARMER.. HES BEEN SLIPPING ON VIDEOS AND CONTENT. I THINK WHAT YOU SEE WITH CORNHOLE IS STARDOM COUPLED WITH I WANNA SLEEP TILL 2PM. EVERYDAY...
Yes..Nave living there..has kinda been slid in..but didn't get past me..not consistent with his claim to love the Lord and follow His ways..this will not go well for him..he needs to get this corrected, if his faith is real✝️
That’s one thing for people to donate money to pay off his girlfriend‘s parents church I guess I get that if that’s what really happened but this is beyond bullshit but I guess with the whole Covid thing we’ve seen how stupid people really are so we’ll see how much $$ he gets
@@TheGrumpyFarmer I don’t know if the church thing was real but I think it was but I think thats what got the gears turning because they raise a lot more money than they needed so I think he realizes he could get free money and got greedy real quick
Everyone moaning about Cole’s morals and click bait while commenting on a guy trying to grow his own popularity by talking about something someone else did
I personally would not have the balls to cry broke and beg for money after all the purchase they have made in the last year along with the free sponsorship equipment and UA-cam money they have gotton. Apparently he does not take pride in his ability to operate sustainably and has to resort to panhandling to keep his operation afloat. Unfortanetly in today's world it will probably pay off for him. I read through the comments on his video and there were a lot of people who claimed they were going to unsubcribe so maybe it will backfire on him but I don't think it will
I dont get it he is always bragging about how good he is with money and how much he has made at a young age. He is also is talking about all the stuff he is going to do with his house to. If they spent all of the "farms money" already then dip into your own money before asking for a handout from everyone else.
I don’t know, I used to think he was a little more godly. Then Nave moved in. Now it’s more merch and spend money. Think he’s not on the right path, he has lost the humble that got him going. Won’t watch a lot of these kid farmers with their new plastic tractors and combines, you wonder where the rich farmer blah blah blah comes from, your looking at it. They haven’t been thru hard times, it would knock some of the hubris off these kids.
They got alot of money last summer bailing out his girlfriend's parents church ALL BLAMED ON COVID. But to turn around and try this is awfully BOLD. FOOL me once,
Someone in his position should only ask for money to help the less fortunate. He doesn’t represent farmers or our morals. In life there is the needy and the greedy.
Let's face it, Cole's a kid. A kid who thinks he has the world all figured out. And like most kids he opens his big mouth without thinking about what the consequences of what he says. Maybe since he's got a college degree, he thinks he's better than the other farmers. Idk? But what he really needs is a lesson in humility, a hard one at that. Maybe then he'll think twice about what he says or does. All he sees are dollars signs. And quite frankly in the case of his Christian girlfriend, whom he's shacked up with whom father and mother are pastors... what kind of message is that sending to his viewers? I mean he uses GOD to raise money for her parents church...but then his girlfriend lives with him? Clearly the kids moral compass is way off. So he asks his viewers to fund his grain leg on a bin site he's boastfully spent $1 million dollars on. He's got it coming to him... he's just not smart enough to know it yet. A lot of good that college degree did him.
I don’t really have a problem with the cohabitation except for the fact that he talks about his scout Christianity I lived with my wife before i was married but i don’t go around bragging about how righteous my beliefs are.
When you look at How Many Livestock Guys are Struggling Currently, who BUST BALLS Day In & Day Out and a Kid with a Camera who Claims to be a Farmer is Out BEGGING Viewers for Money it’s Doesn’t Seem Right! Especially when he Irresponsibly Spent Money he Had Made, it REALLY DOESN’T Sit Well!
Im a grain and beef farmer i could care less if cole wants to ask money thats his choice. You seem to be very vendictive to him why are you even worried about him? It's clear you just don't like him thats your motivation for your vidio. We as farmers are under attack from all directions and you seem to think its a good idea to tear each other down. Worry about your channel and making it great there is way to much hate in this world worry about you keep your door step clean and not everyone else's' MAKE THE WORLD BETTER BY EXAMPLE!
What kind of a open practicing preaching Christian asks for $ to continue his wealth in a world with so many people who are in actual need? Hypocrisy is far too consistent on that channel.
Just the name of the channel turns me off so I’ve never checked it out. I suppose the best thing for me to do is not to give him any additional views now after an outrageous stunt??
I’ve been watching CtC for sometime now and think he should have a little grace here. There were a lot of old issues on the farm he’s worked hard to clean up…old equipment breaking down and paying a lot of money to store his grain. The bin sites make sense from an economic point of view because the note is in place of the bin rental…and once it’s paid off it’ll save them money…it’s an investment. He talks about his dreams for the house (3 master bedrooms and movie theater) but in reality he’s only done basic things to his house that needed to be done to keep it from falling down and to make it safe…insulation…siding (and oh come on he went with vinyl which is the opposite of extravagant), the porch he had was falling down so I guess some might rip him apart for wrapping the new one around the side of the house but that’s really the only thing he’s actually done extra. He had dangerous wiring and had to string extension cords upstairs just to plug in the vacuum cleaner so I’d say all the ripping out he’s done upstairs (mostly by himself) in preparation to upgrade the systems is warranted. He’s young, ambitious, and hard working…and he’s still learning. This year they’ve invested heavily into the farm…and in business sometimes you have to do that. I say give him a break and respect how hard he’s working to get his farm in working order and prospering. I have no issue with his fund raising when he got in a little over his head…because he’s so young…my guess is a lot of negative commentary is coming from people who have the perspective that comes with life experience. I think CtC is providing great entertainment that costs viewers zero. I think he should be encouraged rather than criticized…he’s a smart kid and he’ll get this all figured out by learning from his mistakes.
Boy, when I made Mistakes in Life, The LAST THING My Parents did was ENCOURAGE ME!!! My Mistakes Didn’t COST Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars $100,000+! The LAST Thing My Parents would have Allowed was for Strangers to BAIL ME OUT Either!
He seems to have learned nothing from his grandfathers success in building a large operation and live within your means. Nobody's business is successful if you buy everything brand new and overspend at the beginning . Grow as you can afford to. That is what previous generations did. It seems to be lost on this generation though. Lack of cash flow ruins most businesses that go bankrupt . No body is crowd funding them, nor should they.
I think it's repulsive for Cole to ask for money to pay for his mistakes. If he can't afford it he shouldn't have bought it. He's like a televangelist asking suckers for money to pay for his short comings. I unsubscribed the instant he started to preach hard times
Well farmers did get a subsidy increase from 4 billion to 19 billion a few years ago. I bet all farmers needed that and all of them earned it right? We all like to say others need to earn while at the same time taking cash.
Several others brought this up, thinking we have a good discussion topic? Write your opinion on subsidies if you would want to, be honest its your opinion.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 that's fair but the point is I didn't hear anyone complaining about subsidies going up and to be honest most farmers said they needed it. Point is that is what some call a handout and no one was saying farmers need to earn it. Farmers need subsidies but do farmers really need a 4 billion to 19 billion increase? How is that truly different than cole? At least he is asking for donations vs my taxes being stolen to pay for farming welfare.
I agree with you. Write more on your opinion if you want. I don't believe farmers needed it. The media tried to spin trump's trade war with China that it was destroying farmers.. by the time the subsidy payments came out the markets had already rallied back to a great price. There should have never been subsidy payments. I take them because if I don't then my neighbors are at financial advantage, A lot of them are because the larger the farm the more government dollars you get to an extent. So the government is supporting this does supporting this competitive get big corporate ag model.
Comments enough on this 1. I actually watched a video from him for the 1st time. Don't like his type of video, but it appenrently works. Did he crap the bed? Oh yeah.
@@geoaerorider4589 I’m studying in college to be a psychiatrist and I can tell you it 100% does. (Depending on dosage) However that will never be advertised.
He started begging for money months ago. I stopped watching when he started pan handling while he is soaking money into all sorts of things with that house. I think he is saying its for the leg, but I bet he will use it for the house.
I'd give OLF money to help replace the tractor that burned. Why? Because he didn't want anyone's money. I watched 2 of coleslaw's videos and thought he was a joke.
I can see why people would say Cole is annoying. But he is far from stupid and he has a good heart. He’s also not afraid to talk about stuff others avoid. They put a ton of time and effort in to UA-cam, and it’s not for charity. Many have options you have to join to see a lot of the content. I didn’t see the video where he talked about a GoFundNe. But I don’t think he has any subscription option that costs money, so he’s leaving it optional. As far as mama and daddy Cornstar their are no sweeter people on earth. But the boys are immature. I can’t begin to count the cringe moments I wish I could take back. I don’t hate them for it. They are a lot smaller farm than most people think, and their are a lot of fingers in the pie. Nothing wrong with small. I could make great money with 500 acres of paid off land and old 70’s and 80’s equipment. I wouldn’t have the net worth, but I wouldn’t owe millions either. They have had some bad luck lately. But they farm right. My pet peeve is the crying poverty. But what really takes the cake is the whole “I work 18 hrs per day” act. He claims every waking moment as working. He needs to come work for me. He will be curled up in the corner crying like a baby after 8 hrs of trying to keep up.
Well said. Can't see many of these kids working an honest day for someone other than there dad and lasting.i know on the pile driving crew the old timers would have pounded kids like him into the ground
Have you ever noticed how he claims he’s “working in the office” (not editing videos) for hours a day??? - during good weather-daylight no less! My “office time” is usually just twenty to thirty minutes a day after I take my shower at o’dark thirty. Now my office time is way down thanks to smart phones and tablets allowing me to be productive while on the run. Can’t imagine a technologically advanced Gen Z’er needing three times the amount of office time I did four decades ago.
Honestly, I don't understand why several youtubers have decided to try and take another youtuber down??? I'm not a child I happen to be 70 years old and I see this as talking bad about someone out of jealousy. Do you not see that God is still in control? If he didn't allow this it wouldn't be happening. God still blesses those who believe they are "Helping" someone for the good. We shouldn't talk about others and backbite/backstab. I mean you're even judging his clothes. This is so ridiculous and maybe if the shoe were on the other foot you could see how sad you look... If you don't like him then don't subscribe to his channel.
Da ya dum azz. Of course he's being a huge baby, because the whole thing isn't fair. When you use Christianity, which by the way I have known a few to do this to enrich their life in this way, I don't care if youre Christian or not, call it for wat it is, them of course being good people hoping to get rich and famous from UA-cam, and even richer at the hands of dumb people who don't have as much as them, or trusting good people like Christians that go oh they are Christian too I'll send them 500 bucks. If even 500 of their 500,000 subs send them 500 bucks, let's just say it, that's not fair and a scam. And would they send another UA-cam anything of the sort. Of course not, unless it's the inlaws church of course. .. he's not jealous he's pissed off!
@@jasonjackson9130 agreed but also about two thousand out of the five hundred thousand people are like us sitting around doing nothing watching TV paid for it. That's the jealousy you speak of
If they were thriving why are they asking for handouts? If they were so successful whybare they not doing scholarships for young farmers or something like that? How come all he does is the typical whine and cry about prices vs showing how to farm with more sustainable? If he is so successful how come people aren't coming to his farm to learn what he is doing? I have been in many agriculture publications for being a good farmer and he has been in none. Horrible representation of farming, why is he not working with consumers and growing higher quality food that they want? Take away the youtube money and government subsidies how long will he last? If you people think I am jealous of fame you don't know me. And that shows how narcissistic and pathetic our society has become.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 no Jon, their farm is continued to grew, upgrading is key to growth. They were telling their viewers about issues they are having with the build of their new leg and the resulting short comings for the most part are outside of their control. Noting that this has caused a major increase in cost, just like on my farm we are buying inputs for next year, not exactly the best time to be vastly increasing unscheduled costs. His channels explosive growth affords them the ability to pool money with very small donations which is evident in the ability to raise money for a church. He even offers something in return to people willing and able to donate, he then released a video the next day apologizing and asking for forgiveness for the way he approached it, should be noted you didn’t take any time to bring that up in your little cry fest. If growing corn and soybeans and doing it while having fun and being a little different is wrong then I guess my family farm is wrong too. Are you saying that you’re only a good farmer if other farmers are flocking to your farm to see your farming practices? That’s ridiculous, they seemed to have quality yields this year, just because they dont do things exactly the way you do doesn’t mean they aren’t able to farm their land with sustainable yet profitable practices. I’ve heard your claims and we farm west of Fergus in the “that don’t work here” dirt and frankly some of the things you’ve claimed simply would not work with our soil and weather, your idea that if it’s not done the Jon way it’s the wrong way is silly. I don’t believe you’re jealous of his “fame” but bashing another farmer for doing things like drawing in tons of YOUNG farmers or wanna be farmers is great, he also does give information to some that wouldn’t hear it otherwise. I don’t see them bragging either, showing they fertilizer cost and chemical costs have doubled, or how financial issues go on farms today is good for ag. Take away UA-cam income? So you’re upset he’s making money on UA-cam? He’s putting that back into the farm, if farmers have off farm income they aren’t farmers? Take away subsides?? Lol? Are you joking? Did you send your government money back? Do you cash your UA-cam checks? Success always attracts haters, you sir are exactly that.
I am shocked that people are shocked that he did this. It's actually not out of character at all. He has always been a scab. Even in his commentary or comments, he is overly obsessed with money and not spending any. I think the idea cam when he saw how generously people gave to the church. I think he realised the power of social media blood sucking. The mere fact that he clickbaits shows bad intentions to begin with. Not an honest chappy at all.
I use to like his channel but over the summer I began to hate it. Mind you I’m not involved in AG. This stunt he pulled was childish and immature. It’s really given me the impression he’s not earned much of anything and further gave me understanding why his family got sued many years ago as he discussed. Him claiming he built grain bins gave me the impression he could see issues before they ever came up. The kid has a lot of growing up to do. What do I know I’m just a dumb trucker and glad to see people are seeing through the stained glass here.
Farm management is how to budget. Common knowledge of buying the things that they have last 12 months. Not the sharpest pencil for the books. Fancy equipment looks nice but it cost $$ big head = 0 in life.
Oh for goodness sake. I like his channel. He has opened up the industy. Not only is he a legitimate farmer, but he has enlighten us on what it takes to be a farmer. He is well spoken and well educated and presents farmers in a very positve way. What have you done. What do you contribute, but to slash down someone elses hard work. Well done sir. Now go back into the hole you came from.
He shows farmers in a positive way? Whining and crying about money all the time while getting tons of money. As a farmer he is a horrible example that should be out in front of the public The biggest accomplishment I guess in the farm community is I have the respect of the farm community. Everyone knows that I come from a statement of Integrity whether we agree on the subject or not What have I done? As a farmer I have been in many Publications for being a good farmer and promoting sustainability. I have sued the president over bad USDA policies. I host a farm show every year at our farm to teach other Farmers about sustainability and growing food for direct to consumers or for their local community I have rebuilt the family farm by busting my back with working two jobs for the last 29 years without asking anybody for a handout. Both my mom and my brother are battling cancer right now and do you see me asking for handouts
People have to work their entire lives to put together what UA-cam has bought them in the last two years. I guess that wasn't enough for him. Gotta have it all now.
So, you don't think he's earned his UA-cam following? If the subscribers and revenue generated from the channel is, so easy to come by, why isn't everyone doing it?

Check the videos he's posted this one might end up being his most viewed, because of the title. He's got more views than subs. Sometimes you got to change strategy if something ain't working.

I’m a struggling UA-camr not a struggling farmer. I would have trouble asking people for anything let alone flat out money. You need pride people. Pride in yourself and the work you do and know you built something yourself. Just my 2 cents.
HEY EVERYBODY Do I have con job for you. Well not really. I just can’t control myself or my spending. So it’s up to you to bail me out. Oh & I won’t be posting videos because I’ll be to busy processing the checks. So make those checks big so they are worth my time.
also now watching peterson brothers singing tractor 🚜 stuck to ac/dc thunderstruck great 👍 for us in australia 🇦🇺 to keep watching happy 😃 people on the farms cheers 🍻
I can’t watch How Farm Works either. Both of those Boys, especially the Older Brother are EXTREMELY Negative and they say NOTHING Positive, EVER! There are A LOT of Guys who would Give Their Left Nut to be Able to Farm, They just weren’t Born Into It! HFW’s are Extremely UnHappy that they Don’t Farm Thousands & Thousands of Acres and have The Equipment that Other Farmers & UA-camrs Have! They also get A Ton of Yearly Promotion Deals! Brian’s Farming Videos have also Changed from a Couple of Years Ago. You can tell that his Attitude in His Videos has also Changed. He is another one that also Hammers Into Everyone that they Need to “Hit The Thumbs Up Button” at the End of EVERY Video. People know that, and trust me if they like the Video they know Exactly where that Button is At! He also promised his Wife a House though Last Year, and that was about the Time that it Really Started to Change, ESPECIALLY when he did The Road Trip to See Millennial Farmer, Larson Farms, Corn Pop Farms, Randy The Pipelayer, Welkers, and Others for a Total of 6-8 UA-camrs in that Trip. He mainly met with UA-camrs that have Lots More Subscribers than he had. People forget that Brian’s Family, Corn Pop Farms, Welkers, and Others All Hang Out together at Farm Progress Show at one’s Campsite and Grill & Hang Out Together.
If it wasn’t for dear ol dad idk what they would ever accomplish….last year the drecho leveled their corn and neighbors this year only theirs went flat so what are they doing wrong??
@@heathmumm9576 Explain to us how a drecho is the fault of the farmer? Total loss is often extremely hard and even at times next to impossible to recover from
Do you even follow Cole? If you have watched him since the beginning you would know what he's about. He's young and ambitious and wants to continue in the industry which is awesome. That family has great values! Judging him and threatening his sponsors is dirty and mean. How dare you! You are wrong!
@@daltonmortenson5813 Great could be doing better though. I see people are still able to eat and drive their automobiles I was hoping that he was going to ruin that too. 🤣🤣
@@daltonmortenson5813 It's hilarious you think that by default, I should want the same president that you want. Frankly I want this government to fail! The best possible candidate for that is Joe Blow! 🤣🤣🤣
He crapped the bed and it soaked through to the mattress on this one. How can you ask for money when in the past year they have bought that case tractor. LSW tires for it, 24 row planter, all the upgrades to the planter, combine, both heads, head cart, backhoe, skid steer, telehandler, brand new pickup truck, fuel trailer. Not to mention the grain bin site and the house remodel. And to top it all off, brag about how much everything costs in every video. Tacky as can be in my opinion.
@Maycroft farms He's very enthusiastic about the new farm equipment they've been using, especially the computer-controlled things that make their lives easier. His father appreciated not having to strain his eyes in the dark to try to see the rows so he could stay aligned with them. That isn't bragging. When he explains all the financial situations we can see what it takes to run a farm. They all have side jobs. How is it bragging to say that they wouldn't make it without his mom working full time? Maybe you farmers here have different ways of doing things, or smaller or larger farms than the Cornstars do, but the big difference with Cole is that he's willing to put everything in black and white and show it to us. He's young and excited. Let him be young. He'll get old and boring some day, as we all do.
I stopped following C the C when he started hawking his merch in every single episode and somewhere along the line he turned silly and stopped putting out good farming content. Too much mechanics and not enough harvesting.
Its not surprising to me he asked for money. To him youtube is a money tree that just keeps giving. This is exactly what happens when you get something for nothing
I use to watch him around the time he started and enjoyed it. But, BUT, it seemed at one point to become more about making “money” and stunts to make more money/increase views. I just wanted to watch and learn more about farming life. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy people get compensated to make videos of there lives or things they do. His videos got weird around the time the girlfriend showed up and stunts to up views. Feel like he lost site and just saw dollar signs.
I personally cannot stand Cole’s clickbait or his channel and I agree with you on all fronts. I just subscribed to your channel and find it very informative and you do a great job. Keep up the great work! I’m an Upstate NY corn and soybean farmer.
He over spent with the million dollar bin site !! Plus he didnt account for mistakes and over runs !! For being the child genius in farming he isnt that bright !!
This shows you what a college education will do. I worked for my neighbor years ago and he only had an 8th grade education. He had a hell of a lot more than Cole will ever have.
You always here, the first generation starts it, the second builds it and the third loses it, I certainly hope that’s not the case but they burned through a lot of money in one year and I wish them luck in paying it off, another hard lesson to learn is just because they loaned you the money doesn’t mean you can afford it, I can’t believe the dad went along with this! But maybe he has some lessons to learn as well, best of luck figuring it out but in my opinion there on there own on this
The Dad has his Own Channel, Brother, Sister (who Edits & Uploads ALL of his Videos), and his Girlfriend! Their Dad is ALL about The $$$, he may seem like a Nice & Funny Guy, But he is about The Money!
Bin begging certainly was a disgrace and now they reveal the shoddy workmanship in the whole system, The cheapest bid is often the most expensive. Would you want to work around there with a snot nosed kid pointing a camera at you and mouthing off all the time? . DC should have stepped in and made things clear they do not beg for things etc .
You are not wrong! From the first video of his that i saw,i knew that something is wierd about this guy,and i didn t bother to watch another one. I guess i was a good judge of character... From all the people i know that are on the poorer side,no one will ever ask for money without shame like this,unless their kids or some family member got sick. I am disgusted!!! Asking money is exclusive for charity,either for poor or sick people,or for a social project that makes a community a better place!
@@simonthompson279 Lol, what nature is that? Everyone is bashing Cole like he's raking in all this UA-cam money, he's not even one of the top 10 highest earning channels. Laura Farms makes over $200,000 at number one, Larson Farms makes $196,000 at number 2, where's the outrage there?
@@bryanlacount7551 , the money isn't the issue and never was. I don't watch Laura farms as I don't care for her thumbnails, I watch Larson farms because the content is good and there isn't any false pretence. I don't watch Cole anymore as I don't find him or his family a good representation of the farming community.
Tell me you are jealous of Cole's sucess, without telling me you are jealous of Cole's sucess.
Tell me what I am jealous of. Success? Makes half a million off the farm and can't pay farm bills. Yep so jealous of that. Has hundreds of thousands of watchers and has no respect from the ag community. How many magazines and articles have been about him being a good farmer? Zero.
Nothing I am jealous of about him.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 look again
At what?
Genius gone bad...in my humble opinion, after he raised over $70K for his girl-friends parents church in one day, he realized that there was a beautiful money tree waiting for him and he decided to pick it clean. The last video he posted, I commented that it was disappointing that the channel had become a "beg-a-thon". I watched a couple of his live-streams and I was amazed on the amount of money he made (thousands) in an hour. Considering the Google Adsense Revenue, donations, sponsorships, and who knows what other benefits, he was riding high! His house remodel...he can't have one master bedroom, he needs three? And of course, there must be a in-home theater. For all the farmers struggling to make ends meet, it's a bad image to portray. I want, I want, I want...and I need your money! It is his right to do what he wants with his channel; it is my right not to watch or support the greed and grift.
Thanks for posting your video! It makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only person thinking something is not right here.
I don’t think that he really saw his viewers as a personal money tree I think he did say that his viewers were very loyal to him and he was just asking for help however I don’t think he was using his fan base as a personal money through though however I can kind of see why you think that that’s your opinion you’re entitled to that but I’m just saying I don’t think that’s exactly what Cole the corn star Saw all I see is a farmer who was having to play a Time game on top of other things and wasn’t able to do the best job with the new green bin site and he just said that all of the proceeds after he opened up a online merchandise store goes to the new bin site
A proud farmer that knows what he’s doing doesn’t need to beg for money
I think that kind of self-satisfied judgment does a disservice to a lot of farmers who have razor thin margins. If we all put our cards on the table you’d be surprised to learn how many farmers are barely breaking even.
@@cmleoj And yet here we all are bitching about how someone else is choosing to handle their business. What makes any of us any better than Cole...I'll wait.
He's a joke..... Brags all summer about it now he's panhandling like a bum.....
I've gave money for grain Ben sight rescue and a girl in Montana needing head surgery, not going to pay for farm equipment ever, I am keeping track of 13 different farming chanels. If you look at what he is making off of u tube im ? Why he is asking for $. You are correct to bring this up. Good job.
Cole the complainstar? That rhetoric is getting old.
Something that you may want to consider is how many people outside of the farming community are now watching farming related videos because of ctc. Learning more about the hard work goes into farming in America. Never have I heard anyone on his channel be unprofessional or belittled anyone. So before you reduce youself to petty name calling think how he is helping all farmers. It only makes you sound jealous. Good luck.
I was thinking the same thing...this man sounds like he wished he had of thought of it !! Cole is a decent human being, something that this man wished he was...you dont knock people down, you build them up...at least he's making something of his life, instead of being a deadbeat...It sad that people such as this man, and i listened enough of his garbage that I knew I wouldn't listen to the entire video, the one person that needs to grow up is him !!

@Sheryl Bentley to say somebody's jealous from one adult to the other is absolutely ignorant and childish.

Heey Wes! Good to see you on Jon 's channel. And yes. Cole crapped the bed
Wes made a very good video on the subject of the begger
OLF is in the House, well done video on the subject Wes
So let’s get this straight, he’s a modern farmer whose working along side of his family and has a huge audience. Something you can’t claim. Have some pride and don’t rag on people who are doing farming right .
Keep your trap shut, get a haircut and trying walking your own path.
Be proud of your own accomplishments and you will be blessed, talk about other people and you’ll find yourself alone in a corner.
Cole, speaks from his heart works hard to keep the land he stewards productive and respects the world he walks in.
So he like every other small business owner needs additional seed money that’s the way our world works.

I think (as a watcher from a long distance away) the Minnesota Millenial Farmer's (and his wife's) fundraiser for grain silo rescue equipment for rural first responder services etc is the type of online fundraiser that has merit (helping real people get the right equipment to save rural lives). Suggested watches for lower subscription YT farmers 1) 22K subs 'The Jackson Brothers' - 3 brothers in Northern NSW, Queensland, Australia with earthmoving and farming operations. 2 x Cat D11s etc. 2) 15K subs 'Triple R Farms' in Alabama .
Triple r or Daniel is a great guy. Talked to him a few times and just a down to earth family loving honest working man.. not saying the cornstar family isn't I have respect for the father ..
South Sask Farmer is also good. He doesn’t brag about his brand new equipment because he doesn’t have any.
Kip Ziegler does similar things to promote the dairy industry. I appreciate that his family sponsors events like free DQ cones for June dairy month and scholarships to students going to school for agriculture.
Agreed. work hard, make some sacrifices, don't rely on someone else to foot the bill.
Never thought I’d see modern farmers joining the “cancel culture”.
I don’t think that things going “against your values” (for me it’s pan handling/begging your viewers for money) is “Cancel Culture”. I don’t think Me saying maybe I should not support a company that supports “this type of farmer” is considered cancel culture. I view it as a Personal Choice, such as maybe Ag Leader, Goodyear/Titan Tires, or Unverferth Products are NOT for Me if they Openly Support someone who Receives FREE Products for Use, but Still has The Audacity to BEG His Viewers for Money (while Making Money Off of His Viewers), During The BEST Grain Markets in DECADES including Yearly Profit Margin for 2021(2022 is a Different Story), The BEST Yields in DECADES, FREE USE of Sponsored Products, and also SUEING his Grain Bin Builder/Manufacturer. That is just me making a choice not to support companies that support individuals who do not lineup with my personal values.
@@taylor11089 as a personal choice, that’s not cancel culture. Cancel culture inciting others to pool your collective disgust and harm the target’s income stream. He said something to the effect: “maybe we should start sending emails to his advertisers and tell them ‘not gonna happen buddy, not gonna buy your products as long as you support this little turd”. That to me sounds so petty and just rubs my live-and-let-live outlook the wrong way.

I’m pretty sure those windmills scattered on their farm fetches a pretty penny. Did you notice he didn’t even bring them up when he was doing his analyzing on line awhile back.
@@geedubb2005 He did mention them a while back. One or two on their property and the others on someone else's property. He did not say how income they provided.
No, you are not wrong. He is annoying and not a good representative of the farming community. He must be making a ton of money from UA-cam and merchandise because even his Dad, who didn't seem to eager to be filmed in the beginning now not only is an active participant but he has his own channel now.
Personally, I think he and his family are laughing all the way to the bank. There are some really good farming UA-cam sites that don't act like a gradeschooler. Those are the ones I gravitate to.
His page went to crap.. i unfollowed him. .. no content. Bashing hard work contractors, begging for money. Didnt account for the way more money donated for the church then was needed. Now begging for money again to pay his way... there harvest looked like a bunch of newbie farmers. Claims to be a Christian while living with a woman. And it only comes up when theres a need. Plus since his sister started editing its allways a drama title, lame music, and no content... it seen its day. I recommend LARSON FARMS, WELKER, 10TH GENERATION FARMER, .. AND MABEY MILLENNIAL FARMER.. HES BEEN SLIPPING ON VIDEOS AND CONTENT. I THINK WHAT YOU SEE WITH CORNHOLE IS STARDOM COUPLED WITH I WANNA SLEEP TILL 2PM. EVERYDAY...
Yes..Nave living there..has kinda been slid in..but didn't get past me..not consistent with his claim to love the Lord and follow His ways..this will not go well for him..he needs to get this corrected, if his faith is real✝️
I had to quit watching his videos. I kept destroying my computers after watching him.
That’s one thing for people to donate money to pay off his girlfriend‘s parents church I guess I get that if that’s what really happened but this is beyond bullshit but I guess with the whole Covid thing we’ve seen how stupid people really are so we’ll see how much $$ he gets

Everyone moaning about Cole’s morals and click bait while commenting on a guy trying to grow his own popularity by talking about something someone else did
I personally would not have the balls to cry broke and beg for money after all the purchase they have made in the last year along with the free sponsorship equipment and UA-cam money they have gotton. Apparently he does not take pride in his ability to operate sustainably and has to resort to panhandling to keep his operation afloat. Unfortanetly in today's world it will probably pay off for him.
I read through the comments on his video and there were a lot of people who claimed they were going to unsubcribe so maybe it will backfire on him but I don't think it will
Cole the Cornstar Cult?
I dont get it he is always bragging about how good he is with money and how much he has made at a young age. He is also is talking about all the stuff he is going to do with his house to. If they spent all of the "farms money" already then dip into your own money before asking for a handout from everyone else.
But he’s says why “Dip In” to his Savings when Idiots Hand Him FREE MONEY!
Did he ever finish his wrap around porch on his 100 year old mansion?
I don’t know, I used to think he was a little more godly. Then Nave moved in. Now it’s more merch and spend money. Think he’s not on the right path, he has lost the humble that got him going. Won’t watch a lot of these kid farmers with their new plastic tractors and combines, you wonder where the rich farmer blah blah blah comes from, your looking at it. They haven’t been thru hard times, it would knock some of the hubris off these kids.
They got alot of money last summer bailing out his girlfriend's parents church ALL BLAMED ON COVID. But to turn around and try this is awfully BOLD. FOOL me once,
Someone in his position should only ask for money to help the less fortunate. He doesn’t represent farmers or our morals. In life there is the needy and the greedy.
And wheres the 10's of thousands left over from the church donation.
And the farm subsidies.
Yeah, he lost me when he took that turn
I find him very annoying don't watch him anymore
you can see the wind turbines on their property, big income right there
Let's face it, Cole's a kid. A kid who thinks he has the world all figured out. And like most kids he opens his big mouth without thinking about what the consequences of what he says. Maybe since he's got a college degree, he thinks he's better than the other farmers. Idk? But what he really needs is a lesson in humility, a hard one at that. Maybe then he'll think twice about what he says or does. All he sees are dollars signs. And quite frankly in the case of his Christian girlfriend, whom he's shacked up with whom father and mother are pastors... what kind of message is that sending to his viewers? I mean he uses GOD to raise money for her parents church...but then his girlfriend lives with him? Clearly the kids moral compass is way off. So he asks his viewers to fund his grain leg on a bin site he's boastfully spent $1 million dollars on. He's got it coming to him... he's just not smart enough to know it yet. A lot of good that college degree did him.
I don’t really have a problem with the cohabitation except for the fact that he talks about his scout Christianity
I lived with my wife before i was married but i don’t go around bragging about how righteous my beliefs are.
As a farmer/rancher, I'm disgusted! Hard work use too mean something! No pride left in him. He's not a real Farmer. No dignity!
There sure is allot of negativity here, Not what I'm looking for. I'll move on
Seems strange $6 corn and $12.50 beans to be asking for money just my 2cents
When you look at How Many Livestock Guys are Struggling Currently, who BUST BALLS Day In & Day Out and a Kid with a Camera who Claims to be a Farmer is Out BEGGING Viewers for Money it’s Doesn’t Seem Right! Especially when he Irresponsibly Spent Money he Had Made, it REALLY DOESN’T Sit Well!
Im a grain and beef farmer i could care less if cole wants to ask money thats his choice. You seem to be very vendictive to him why are you even worried about him? It's clear you just don't like him thats your motivation for your vidio. We as farmers are under attack from all directions and you seem to think its a good idea to tear each other down. Worry about your channel and making it great there is way to much hate in this world worry about you keep your door step clean and not everyone else's' MAKE THE WORLD BETTER BY EXAMPLE!
Not sure I know who he is. But if it is the one I'm thinking off, If he didn't spill so much he could probably have enough to pay for it.
What kind of a open practicing preaching Christian asks for $ to continue his wealth in a world with so many people who are in actual need? Hypocrisy is far too consistent on that channel.
Can’t stand his channel. The clickbait crap gets old quick
Go to his girlfriend's channel and watch them buying Christmas gifts. Yup. It was posted after the 'fundraising' video.
That's an awkward position.
Wow! Sounds like fraud to me.
Anybody notice she Never Had Braces until recently. Most People have them by the time they are 18, at The Latest. Makes you wonder.
The cancel culture has hit the farming industry. One farmer resorting to name calling.
I love Jon I totally agree with him and I come back and watch this every couple months because I think it’s so freaking funny
Just the name of the channel turns me off so I’ve never checked it out. I suppose the best thing for me to do is not to give him any additional views now after an outrageous stunt??
He’s definitely a disgrace to the farming community.
Amen Soilmap man
Who is Cole the corn star?
Exactly!
Cornstar and millennial are a lot alike, but I don't think millennial would stoop to begging for money, but I could be wrong
Definitely have there similarities but I think millennial is a smarter man then cole
He’ll try to peddle all kinds of junk but him or more then likely the old lady is just a little to sharp to out right bag for money.

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I don't find it normal at all there is no Discipline. I see it quite a bit and drives me fucking crazy
I’ve been watching CtC for sometime now and think he should have a little grace here. There were a lot of old issues on the farm he’s worked hard to clean up…old equipment breaking down and paying a lot of money to store his grain. The bin sites make sense from an economic point of view because the note is in place of the bin rental…and once it’s paid off it’ll save them money…it’s an investment. He talks about his dreams for the house (3 master bedrooms and movie theater) but in reality he’s only done basic things to his house that needed to be done to keep it from falling down and to make it safe…insulation…siding (and oh come on he went with vinyl which is the opposite of extravagant), the porch he had was falling down so I guess some might rip him apart for wrapping the new one around the side of the house but that’s really the only thing he’s actually done extra. He had dangerous wiring and had to string extension cords upstairs just to plug in the vacuum cleaner so I’d say all the ripping out he’s done upstairs (mostly by himself) in preparation to upgrade the systems is warranted. He’s young, ambitious, and hard working…and he’s still learning. This year they’ve invested heavily into the farm…and in business sometimes you have to do that. I say give him a break and respect how hard he’s working to get his farm in working order and prospering. I have no issue with his fund raising when he got in a little over his head…because he’s so young…my guess is a lot of negative commentary is coming from people who have the perspective that comes with life experience. I think CtC is providing great entertainment that costs viewers zero. I think he should be encouraged rather than criticized…he’s a smart kid and he’ll get this all figured out by learning from his mistakes.
We all have struggles. We all make bad business decisions. Crying for help I find very pathetic.
Boy, when I made Mistakes in Life, The LAST THING My Parents did was ENCOURAGE ME!!! My Mistakes Didn’t COST Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars $100,000+! The LAST Thing My Parents would have Allowed was for Strangers to BAIL ME OUT Either!
He seems to have learned nothing from his grandfathers success in building a large operation and live within your means. Nobody's business is successful if you buy everything brand new and overspend at the beginning . Grow as you can afford to. That is what previous generations did. It seems to be lost on this generation though.
Lack of cash flow ruins most businesses that go bankrupt . No body is crowd funding them, nor should they.
I agree with you!!!. Just him trying to get free money. I think that he is getting greedy!!!
The beginnings of his videos make me think of “Hey It’s The Mickey Mouse Show”!
Crapes the bed
This is why I prefer to watch the smaller farm channels who are more modest, mature, and humble, and not just sponsor hogs and merch pluggers.
I think it's repulsive for Cole to ask for money to pay for his mistakes. If he can't afford it he shouldn't have bought it. He's like a televangelist asking suckers for money to pay for his short comings. I unsubscribed the instant he started to preach hard times
Well farmers did get a subsidy increase from 4 billion to 19 billion a few years ago. I bet all farmers needed that and all of them earned it right? We all like to say others need to earn while at the same time taking cash.
Several others brought this up, thinking we have a good discussion topic? Write your opinion on subsidies if you would want to, be honest its your opinion.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 that's fair but the point is I didn't hear anyone complaining about subsidies going up and to be honest most farmers said they needed it. Point is that is what some call a handout and no one was saying farmers need to earn it. Farmers need subsidies but do farmers really need a 4 billion to 19 billion increase? How is that truly different than cole? At least he is asking for donations vs my taxes being stolen to pay for farming welfare.
I agree with you. Write more on your opinion if you want.
I don't believe farmers needed it. The media tried to spin trump's trade war with China that it was destroying farmers.. by the time the subsidy payments came out the markets had already rallied back to a great price. There should have never been subsidy payments. I take them because if I don't then my neighbors are at financial advantage, A lot of them are because the larger the farm the more government dollars you get to an extent. So the government is supporting this does supporting this competitive get big corporate ag model.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I agree 100% they just keep adding family members so they can get a little bigger and collect a little more
Comments enough on this 1. I actually watched a video from him for the 1st time. Don't like his type of video, but it appenrently works.
Did he crap the bed? Oh yeah.
Drama and entertainment... what society wants. Knowledge and experience is boring, but more powerful.
Crapped the Bed
I've only been able to get thru a handful of coles videos. He's annoying A.F and you nailed it jon
Lol thanks
Cole seems to enjoy his adderall. It affects personality in my opinion.
HEEEEEYYYYY EVERYBODY….
@@geoaerorider4589 I’m studying in college to be a psychiatrist and I can tell you it 100% does. (Depending on dosage) However that will never be advertised.
@@justingermanovich amen!
You hit the nail on the head. I can’t believe he did it
He started begging for money months ago. I stopped watching when he started pan handling while he is soaking money into all sorts of things with that house. I think he is saying its for the leg, but I bet he will use it for the house.
I'd give OLF money to help replace the tractor that burned. Why? Because he didn't want anyone's money. I watched 2 of coleslaw's videos and thought he was a joke.
I got a lot out of the rebuild series he does. True value to farmers like me.
Oh man, name calling a young man for trying something different, you're so edgy dude
I can see why people would say Cole is annoying. But he is far from stupid and he has a good heart. He’s also not afraid to talk about stuff others avoid.
They put a ton of time and effort in to UA-cam, and it’s not for charity. Many have options you have to join to see a lot of the content. I didn’t see the video where he talked about a GoFundNe. But I don’t think he has any subscription option that costs money, so he’s leaving it optional.
As far as mama and daddy Cornstar their are no sweeter people on earth. But the boys are immature. I can’t begin to count the cringe moments I wish I could take back. I don’t hate them for it.
They are a lot smaller farm than most people think, and their are a lot of fingers in the pie.
Nothing wrong with small. I could make great money with 500 acres of paid off land and old 70’s and 80’s equipment. I wouldn’t have the net worth, but I wouldn’t owe millions either.
They have had some bad luck lately. But they farm right.
My pet peeve is the crying poverty. But what really takes the cake is the whole “I work 18 hrs per day” act. He claims every waking moment as working. He needs to come work for me. He will be curled up in the corner crying like a baby after 8 hrs of trying to keep up.
Well said.
Can't see many of these kids working an honest day for someone other than there dad and lasting.i know on the pile driving crew the old timers would have pounded kids like him into the ground
Have you ever noticed how he claims he’s “working in the office” (not editing videos) for hours a day??? - during good weather-daylight no less! My “office time” is usually just twenty to thirty minutes a day after I take my shower at o’dark thirty. Now my office time is way down thanks to smart phones and tablets allowing me to be productive while on the run. Can’t imagine a technologically advanced Gen Z’er needing three times the amount of office time I did four decades ago.
@@Manoffire260 well, actually I did notice. It’s always made me shake my head.
Just a comment on the ag economy . Similar to what it was in the late 70s and early 80s if you can remember and it did not turn out well some farmers.
I would give money to someone who plays farm simulator before I would give him a dime
Ha!
@@MastersFarms oh lord is there? Haha
Honestly, I don't understand why several youtubers have decided to try and take another youtuber down??? I'm not a child I happen to be 70 years old and I see this as talking bad about someone out of jealousy. Do you not see that God is still in control? If he didn't allow this it wouldn't be happening. God still blesses those who believe they are "Helping" someone for the good. We shouldn't talk about others and backbite/backstab. I mean you're even judging his clothes. This is so ridiculous and maybe if the shoe were on the other foot you could see how sad you look... If you don't like him then don't subscribe to his channel.
Da ya dum azz. Of course he's being a huge baby, because the whole thing isn't fair. When you use Christianity, which by the way I have known a few to do this to enrich their life in this way, I don't care if youre Christian or not, call it for wat it is, them of course being good people hoping to get rich and famous from UA-cam, and even richer at the hands of dumb people who don't have as much as them, or trusting good people like Christians that go oh they are Christian too I'll send them 500 bucks. If even 500 of their 500,000 subs send them 500 bucks, let's just say it, that's not fair and a scam. And would they send another UA-cam anything of the sort. Of course not, unless it's the inlaws church of course. .. he's not jealous he's pissed off!
The jealousy that Coles families operation is thriving and his isn’t, it’s pathetic really.
@@jasonjackson9130 agreed but also about two thousand out of the five hundred thousand people are like us sitting around doing nothing watching TV paid for it. That's the jealousy you speak of
If they were thriving why are they asking for handouts?
If they were so successful whybare they not doing scholarships for young farmers or something like that?
How come all he does is the typical whine and cry about prices vs showing how to farm with more sustainable?
If he is so successful how come people aren't coming to his farm to learn what he is doing?
I have been in many agriculture publications for being a good farmer and he has been in none.
Horrible representation of farming, why is he not working with consumers and growing higher quality food that they want?
Take away the youtube money and government subsidies how long will he last?
If you people think I am jealous of fame you don't know me. And that shows how narcissistic and pathetic our society has become.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 no Jon, their farm is continued to grew, upgrading is key to growth. They were telling their viewers about issues they are having with the build of their new leg and the resulting short comings for the most part are outside of their control. Noting that this has caused a major increase in cost, just like on my farm we are buying inputs for next year, not exactly the best time to be vastly increasing unscheduled costs. His channels explosive growth affords them the ability to pool money with very small donations which is evident in the ability to raise money for a church. He even offers something in return to people willing and able to donate, he then released a video the next day apologizing and asking for forgiveness for the way he approached it, should be noted you didn’t take any time to bring that up in your little cry fest. If growing corn and soybeans and doing it while having fun and being a little different is wrong then I guess my family farm is wrong too. Are you saying that you’re only a good farmer if other farmers are flocking to your farm to see your farming practices? That’s ridiculous, they seemed to have quality yields this year, just because they dont do things exactly the way you do doesn’t mean they aren’t able to farm their land with sustainable yet profitable practices. I’ve heard your claims and we farm west of Fergus in the “that don’t work here” dirt and frankly some of the things you’ve claimed simply would not work with our soil and weather, your idea that if it’s not done the Jon way it’s the wrong way is silly. I don’t believe you’re jealous of his “fame” but bashing another farmer for doing things like drawing in tons of YOUNG farmers or wanna be farmers is great, he also does give information to some that wouldn’t hear it otherwise. I don’t see them bragging either, showing they fertilizer cost and chemical costs have doubled, or how financial issues go on farms today is good for ag. Take away UA-cam income? So you’re upset he’s making money on UA-cam? He’s putting that back into the farm, if farmers have off farm income they aren’t farmers? Take away subsides?? Lol? Are you joking? Did you send your government money back? Do you cash your UA-cam checks? Success always attracts haters, you sir are exactly that.
Jon, you should have titled this
"Korn Roast"... Thanks for making the video!!
I am shocked that people are shocked that he did this. It's actually not out of character at all. He has always been a scab. Even in his commentary or comments, he is overly obsessed with money and not spending any. I think the idea cam when he saw how generously people gave to the church. I think he realised the power of social media blood sucking. The mere fact that he clickbaits shows bad intentions to begin with. Not an honest chappy at all.
I use to like his channel but over the summer I began to hate it. Mind you I’m not involved in AG. This stunt he pulled was childish and immature. It’s really given me the impression he’s not earned much of anything and further gave me understanding why his family got sued many years ago as he discussed. Him claiming he built grain bins gave me the impression he could see issues before they ever came up. The kid has a lot of growing up to do. What do I know I’m just a dumb trucker and glad to see people are seeing through the stained glass here.
Farm management is how to budget. Common knowledge of buying the things that they have last 12 months. Not the sharpest pencil for the books. Fancy equipment looks nice but it cost $$ big head = 0 in life.
Oh for goodness sake. I like his channel. He has opened up the industy. Not only is he a legitimate farmer, but he has enlighten us on what it takes to be a farmer. He is well spoken and well educated and presents farmers in a very positve way. What have you done. What do you contribute, but to slash down someone elses hard work. Well done sir. Now go back into the hole you came from.
He shows farmers in a positive way? Whining and crying about money all the time while getting tons of money.
As a farmer he is a horrible example that should be out in front of the public
The biggest accomplishment I guess in the farm community is I have the respect of the farm community. Everyone knows that I come from a statement of Integrity whether we agree on the subject or not
What have I done? As a farmer I have been in many Publications for being a good farmer and promoting sustainability. I have sued the president over bad USDA policies.
I host a farm show every year at our farm to teach other Farmers about sustainability and growing food for direct to consumers or for their local community
I have rebuilt the family farm by busting my back with working two jobs for the last 29 years without asking anybody for a handout. Both my mom and my brother are battling cancer right now and do you see me asking for handouts
People have to work their entire lives to put together what UA-cam has bought them in the last two years. I guess that wasn't enough for him. Gotta have it all now.
So, you don't think he's earned his UA-cam following? If the subscribers and revenue generated from the channel is, so easy to come by, why isn't everyone doing it?
@@billwhite7099 He got lucky and hit it big on the algorithm. There are a lot better farming channels out there that don't have half the subscribers.
@@eastpantherbenz haha yeah, it's all luck. Come on man. You must not watch many UA-cam creators if you think it's luck to get to 500,000+ subscribers.
@@billwhite7099 I do, and youtube always pushes the click bait channels to the top.
@@eastpantherbenz they push to the top, the people that get views. It's only smart to be creative with the titles if it helps to get traction. Look at this page he puts Cole the Cornstar in his title and he's had a record for him 13,000+ views in one day. Check the videos he's posted this one might end up being his most viewed, because of the title. He's got more views than subs. Sometimes you got to change strategy if something ain't working.
I will say this about Cole, he did a great job of cleaning up the mess on their farm.
But that mess wasn’t costing him a dime by laying around.
That Mess was Money in Scrap, he also had that Old Guy in The Wheel Loader Cleaning it Up! That Kid is a ImMature Disaster Running around in Sandals & Sweat Pants Posting CLICKBAIT Video Titles about His Bin Crew, and then there wasn’t Anything Related to the Title in The Video such as “My dad caught someone drinking on the job and we had to Fire Him” and there was NOTHING Related to that in The Video. He’s a Disaster so is His Arrogant Brother (also a FlipFlop/Sandal Wearer)!
Adderall is a hell of a drug.
@@BitcoinfunforBoomers When you have equipment and many $$$ worth of scrap metal, it's motivating!
Maybe that is how I need to do it?! When you guys see me doing click bait titles I am just going along!
It’s funny how someone like Cole who has a degree in finance can get so far in debt he needs a bail out from his viewers.
I need to start a UA-cam channel and beg for money!!!!
I honestly feel Cole had Corn Cobb envy
All the other UA-cam farmers had bigger and better equipment and bin sites and newer combines
He was just spending to compete with them….
No shame … I completely agree with ya
When you look at How Many Livestock Guys are Struggling Currently, who BUST BALLS Day In & Day Out and a Kid with a Camera who Claims to be a Farmer is Out BEGGING Viewers for Money it’s Doesn’t Seem Right! Especially when he Irresponsibly Spent Money he Had Made, it REALLY DOESN’T Sit Well!
You are so kind with your analogy......I am a short and simple person...... His channel reminds me of a daytime soap opera....I don't watch them and I don't watch him.....That's for you folks that ain't got shit to do.......Myself and others got dogs in this ag fight....So you will have to pardon us if we don't contribute Time and money to his Snake Bite Medicine Show
I’m a struggling UA-camr not a struggling farmer. I would have trouble asking people for anything let alone flat out money. You need pride people. Pride in yourself and the work you do and know you built something yourself. Just my 2 cents.
Cole working with a lot of dads old money
I would like to see Cole just go away!!
HEY EVERYBODY Do I have con job for you. Well not really. I just can’t control myself or my spending. So it’s up to you to bail me out. Oh & I won’t be posting videos because I’ll be to busy processing the checks. So make those checks big so they are worth my time.
Looks to like they are real big spenders
also now watching peterson brothers singing
tractor 🚜 stuck to ac/dc thunderstruck
great 👍 for us in australia 🇦🇺
to keep watching happy 😃 people on the farms
cheers 🍻
I agree with everyone else! I feel cole and Ryan from how farms work are the same. Not the best representation of farmers
I can’t watch How Farm Works either. Both of those Boys, especially the Older Brother are EXTREMELY Negative and they say NOTHING Positive, EVER! There are A LOT of Guys who would Give Their Left Nut to be Able to Farm, They just weren’t Born Into It! HFW’s are Extremely UnHappy that they Don’t Farm Thousands & Thousands of Acres and have The Equipment that Other Farmers & UA-camrs Have! They also get A Ton of Yearly Promotion Deals!
Brian’s Farming Videos have also Changed from a Couple of Years Ago. You can tell that his Attitude in His Videos has also Changed. He is another one that also Hammers Into Everyone that they Need to “Hit The Thumbs Up Button” at the End of EVERY Video. People know that, and trust me if they like the Video they know Exactly where that Button is At! He also promised his Wife a House though Last Year, and that was about the Time that it Really Started to Change, ESPECIALLY when he did The Road Trip to See Millennial Farmer, Larson Farms, Corn Pop Farms, Randy The Pipelayer, Welkers, and Others for a Total of 6-8 UA-camrs in that Trip. He mainly met with UA-camrs that have Lots More Subscribers than he had. People forget that Brian’s Family, Corn Pop Farms, Welkers, and Others All Hang Out together at Farm Progress Show at one’s Campsite and Grill & Hang Out Together.
If it wasn’t for dear ol dad idk what they would ever accomplish….last year the drecho leveled their corn and neighbors this year only theirs went flat so what are they doing wrong??
@@heathmumm9576 Explain to us how a drecho is the fault of the farmer? Total loss is often extremely hard and even at times next to impossible to recover from
Crapped the bed...rackeetering
Do you even follow Cole? If you have watched him since the beginning you would know what he's about. He's young and ambitious and wants to continue in the industry which is awesome. That family has great values! Judging him and threatening his sponsors is dirty and mean. How dare you! You are wrong!
So. What’s it’s like being fucking blind.
You're clueless!

Never thought there'd be a "Farm TMZ." This discussion is older than time, just happens to be amplified by youtube TV. I'll just keep to myself.
He crapped the bed and it soaked through to the mattress on this one. How can you ask for money when in the past year they have bought that case tractor. LSW tires for it, 24 row planter, all the upgrades to the planter, combine, both heads, head cart, backhoe, skid steer, telehandler, brand new pickup truck, fuel trailer. Not to mention the grain bin site and the house remodel. And to top it all off, brag about how much everything costs in every video. Tacky as can be in my opinion.
He's not bragging. He's explaining for those of us who don't shop for that stuff all the time. Or who won't ever. It's instructional.
@@wandasetzer1469 I was thinking the same thing
@Maycroft farms He's very enthusiastic about the new farm equipment they've been using, especially the computer-controlled things that make their lives easier. His father appreciated not having to strain his eyes in the dark to try to see the rows so he could stay aligned with them. That isn't bragging. When he explains all the financial situations we can see what it takes to run a farm. They all have side jobs. How is it bragging to say that they wouldn't make it without his mom working full time?
Maybe you farmers here have different ways of doing things, or smaller or larger farms than the Cornstars do, but the big difference with Cole is that he's willing to put everything in black and white and show it to us. He's young and excited. Let him be young. He'll get old and boring some day, as we all do.
I stopped following C the C when he started hawking his merch in every single episode and somewhere along the line he turned silly and stopped putting out good farming content. Too much mechanics and not enough harvesting.
You and me both along with his video tittles are click bait
Its not surprising to me he asked for money. To him youtube is a money tree that just keeps giving. This is exactly what happens when you get something for nothing
I use to watch him around the time he started and enjoyed it. But, BUT, it seemed at one point to become more about making “money” and stunts to make more money/increase views. I just wanted to watch and learn more about farming life. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy people get compensated to make videos of there lives or things they do. His videos got weird around the time the girlfriend showed up and stunts to up views. Feel like he lost site and just saw dollar signs.
I personally cannot stand Cole’s clickbait or his channel and I agree with you on all fronts. I just subscribed to your channel and find it very informative and you do a great job. Keep up the great work! I’m an Upstate NY corn and soybean farmer.
Thanks! Doing a give away so stay tuned!
He over spent with the million dollar bin site !! Plus he didnt account for mistakes and over runs !! For being the child genius in farming he isnt that bright !!
This shows you what a college education will do. I worked for my neighbor years ago and he only had an 8th grade education. He had a hell of a lot more than Cole will ever have.
What exactly did he do? I'm not going on his channel to see as it would just be helping his cause.
Started a go fund me to pay for grain leg, if you donate you get a jar of soil!
Rob, it’s called E-Begging
Thanks for the video.
You always here, the first generation starts it, the second builds it and the third loses it, I certainly hope that’s not the case but they burned through a lot of money in one year and I wish them luck in paying it off, another hard lesson to learn is just because they loaned you the money doesn’t mean you can afford it, I can’t believe the dad went along with this! But maybe he has some lessons to learn as well, best of luck figuring it out but in my opinion there on there own on this
The Dad has his Own Channel, Brother, Sister (who Edits & Uploads ALL of his Videos), and his Girlfriend! Their Dad is ALL about The $$$, he may seem like a Nice & Funny Guy, But he is about The Money!
$100.000 a year to store it
There is a reason why the people say sonne farms has the better Cole!
Bin begging certainly was a disgrace and now they reveal the shoddy workmanship in the whole system, The cheapest bid is often the most expensive. Would you want to work around there with a snot nosed kid pointing a camera at you and mouthing off all the time? . DC should have stepped in and made things clear they do not beg for things etc .
Glad to know you're not salty, though.
You are not wrong!
From the first video of his that i saw,i knew that something is wierd about this guy,and i didn t bother to watch another one.
I guess i was a good judge of character...
From all the people i know that are on the poorer side,no one will ever ask for money without shame like this,unless their kids or some family member got sick.
I am disgusted!!!
Asking money is exclusive for charity,either for poor or sick people,or for a social project that makes a community a better place!
There's nothing a farmer hates more, than another farmer.
I never knew this until now, but it is crystal clear.
Competition I suppose. I suspect there are some who would like to see me fail.
That's overlooking the nature of Cole and his antics on UA-cam
@@simonthompson279 Lol, what nature is that? Everyone is bashing Cole like he's raking in all this UA-cam money, he's not even one of the top 10 highest earning channels. Laura Farms makes over $200,000 at number one, Larson Farms makes $196,000 at number 2, where's the outrage there?
@@bryanlacount7551 , the money isn't the issue and never was. I don't watch Laura farms as I don't care for her thumbnails, I watch Larson farms because the content is good and there isn't any false pretence.

He’s the typical narcissistic materialistic UA-camr. It takes a special breed.
It was a sponsorship not a donation. People received a part of the farm and a limited edition shirt.
On good years your asking for help and money from others, What will happen on the bad years!?
