I was a commercial pilot for 40 years before I retired and every time I flew over and looked down at the farm pastures I was amazed at how you folks drove such straight lines when working in the fields. After your explanation of auto-steer I finally got it. That’s incredible technology.
I love that you are able to spend time working with your dad and actually being able to document it. Not to be a downer but years from now these videos are going to be treasures. You and your dad remind me of when my dad and I used to work on remodeling and handy man work back when I was in high school and just a few years out. Would give anything to have some videos of us working together. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us.
Great content. Drone footage with enjoyable music. A great farmer, Brian, explaining his decisions. A young farmer explaining the impact of dry weather on crops. Keep it up, guys. I so enjoy Sonne Farms video.
Came across your channel this morning about 6:30 . It's now 11:30 pm. I have been binge watching your channel all day. I have learned so much from you and your dad today. Most people don't have a clue where their meat comes from and what it takes to get that meat to their local store. I'm 70 years old and I always say, you're never too old to learn. I love the very special relationship between you and your dad. You can see just how proud your dad is of you and that you not only respect him because he's you dad, but respect him for the farmer he is. I love the way you and your dad banter back and forth. Your dad is so funny. Take care of that knee young man.
Cole ... if you ever wanted to provide a relaxation video you could do one of 15-20 minutes of just drone footage with some of that wonderful music. Planting, rolling, spraying, haying, harvesting ... with some cattle in the grass or at the beach thrown in for good measure. Thank you 😉. God bless you and all your family on this Independence Day weekend. 🇺🇸
We have been grateful that we have had some rain here in the Texas panhandle so we are doing alright with our crops. We keep on praying for rain, hopefully you guys get enough rain to keep your crops growing.
Brian is such a good farmer. Years of experience. Love that drone footage of nice straight rows. We will gladly send you some rain we may have a hurricane.
I would gladly give you half of the six inches we got in the past few days here in Kansas City, Missouri area! We are glad to see some sun for the holiday weekend. Prayers for rain out your way.🙏
Hopefully you guys are getting some much needed rain!!! Really love the drone shots, shows how big the job of the day is! Cole your healing, and your not a turd. You are doing what you can and Dad appreciates that!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Brian I heard from my friend in Montana that the Dakotas got blister beetles and the hay yield was ruined. She didn't have any yield in hay and she is trying to find hay for sale. She said the price has doubled. She also said people are having to sell their livestock to slaughter because they either can't afford it or there is no hay to buy.😔
As an Australian I can sympathise with the heat + no rain. May you not get the floods that follow here. Hand feeding cattle and destocking is a hell our farmers face too often.
Thanks for another great video. Was interesting and enjoyable. You are doing just great with the videos. You cannot do all yet and we understand that. Just do what works for you and we will adjust until you are ready for action. Glad to hear your doctors appointment went well. You are doing great I think. Hang in there. Your new spreader is working great. All your adjustments seem to be on the nose, working great. Cutter is wonderful well also. Auto steer is very accurate, do good going. Thanks for your time to do the video. The drone shots were great. You all take care and be safe. Bless all of you. God Grant you some rain. All for now. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Always enjoy your videos, but don’t enjoy the fact you need rain. Been there, but it’s like you all said, you can’t hold back due to uncertainties that may change tomorrow. You have to be all in. Praying for rain for you and all who need it.
I’m located in west central Oklahoma. I just started laying Sudan down today. Rotary swathers are bad about getting everything in the window in light hay. Just remember light hay slow the blades down and drive like crazy.
Here in central iowa we were/still are in a bit of a drought. Got some shots of storms a week or two ago that helped tremendously. South eastern Iowa having flooding and west Iowa in severe drought. Just goes to show how much different it can be from one side of the state to the other! Crazy
Cole, glad to see you making such good progress 4 weeks out of surgery. Keep up therapy, and don’t do anything stupid to impede your recovery. As usual, drone shots are my favorite.
Every thing looks like it's going good, getting stuff done your not over doing. I think every body is wishing for rain. Great video, take care waiting for the next one.
3 applications of 14-0-0 Urea coated Nitrogen (ONLY if rain or irrigation is applied shortly after) or a nice Lightning storm. Lightning creates Nitrates that helps the soil.
You prayer warriors out there, send up a quick one for Cole and Brian...doesn’t have to be long and involved, just a quick ‘please send rain to these hard working farmers’ type...Cole, I LOVE these vids! So don’t put yourself down. You’re letting us into your life, your entire life, and I for one love that! I’m glad you’re healing well!! Keep ‘em coming!!
very informative video.. love all the drone footage.. still amazed with the tractor going on its own.. that's a Maine girl talking. someone who has never seen the flat plains for the Midwest. we have been dry here too. finally got some nice rain yesterday. went from 90's this week to 50's today.. that's Maine weather.. glad you are doing better with the knee..
You are one of the most ambitious persons at your age that I know. I enjoyed the drone footage as always. Best wishes on your recovery. Thanks for sharing!
I have to apologize. We’ve been hoarding your rain here in Alabama. In my 12 acre pasture, we got 27 round bales a couple of weeks ago. They are 1200 pound bales. We’ve been getting all kinds of rain. More coming at the end of next week according to the forecast. I hope you get the rain you need. I’ll say a prayer for you. Take good care of that knee ! You’re young and you’re going to need it for a very LONG time ! Prayers for your knee as well !
Thank you Cole and your Dad for sharing everything. I enjoy watching you and your Dad .God bless you and your family today and always.Have a Happy 4th of July.God bless you.Cole take care of that knee.
"Knee high by the 4th of July"! When i farmed as a teenager, my tractor didn't even have a roof! my hat kept the rain off. Ask Brian about those days! Hehe!
Hey, Cole, it is fine with me if the video is of the you or your dad in the tractor spreading fertilizer. It’s so amazing to me who the machines work. And your explanation of why you do what you all do educates me! Thank you for sharing your work to feed the country!
Add in the 100 degree temperatures and the low rain, it is not promising. From SW North Dakota, we have been getting a sporadic 1/2 inch, about once a week. Just enough to keep our heads above water. Praying for rain is a constant. Praying for the Sonne Farm Family too. In 2 weeks your knee will be much better. Love the videos, no matter the content, you make them fun.
Another great video and drone footage! Glad your limiting your work. It takes time to heal properly, be patient, Cole. It took two months of PT to get my back stronger with no pain. The muscles had atrophied from not moving as much, through the pandemic. We had to go slow as to not tear a tendon or a ligament. It was hell, but, it's all good now and I appreciate the PT advice and instructions. Do what they tell ya, you'll be much better off! Ellie looks good, as always!
I live in a state that irrigates all crops. If I lived in a state that relies only on rain, I would be biting my knuckles all growing season. Good to see that knee getting better.
Cole, things are getting bad in Saskatchewan as well. We have been under a heat dome for the better part s a week now and high temperature records are being bested by quite a few degrees. We were close to + 40 C ( 103 F ) yesterday with no rain in sight for the next week. It is only a matter of time before the crops planted this year are lost due to lack of moisture.
Glad your knee is coming along! I had total knee replacements to both knees & the relief was immediate and amazing. I’ll keep praying your recovery continues rapidly. Don’t overdo it though, you will only hurt yourself & your recovery time (sorry, that’s the nurse in me😊!).
I wish we could send you all of our rain from the Gulf Coast close to Houston, cause we are sick and tired of being sick and tired of rain. MOF, It's raining right now here.
Cole, remember in elementary school math class and they taught us to reduce our fractions ? 40/100 = 4/10 ( inches of rain ) You can't be wasting all those zeros because they're worth something. Oh wait, 0 equals nothing, nevermind.
I'm thinking just about every place is needing some rain about now. Great video good to see u up and out and moving around. Keep it up and u will be out shooting hoops soon.
Hey... be careful Cole. My daughter was conceived about 4 weeks after ACL replacement. Hahaha. You're further along now, so it's probably too late, if the advice was gonna do you any good. Lol.
Celebrate a safe and prosperous 4th @ Sonne Farms. Keep feeding the rest of us as we continue God's grace to others in our free country. Keep rehabbing, too. Brian is falling behind! lol God answers prayer, so we'll keep it up.
I was a commercial pilot for 40 years before I retired and every time I flew over and looked down at the farm pastures I was amazed at how you folks drove such straight lines when working in the fields.
After your explanation of auto-steer I finally got it.
That’s incredible technology.
Lol I don’t think they had Auto steer 20 years ago. Maybe not even 10 years ago a lot of places. Could be wrong
I love that you are able to spend time working with your dad and actually being able to document it. Not to be a downer but years from now these videos are going to be treasures.

thanks for your interest Denise.
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed
Praying for farmers and ranchers who need more rain, or less rain. Awesome drone footage and music, keep healing.
Good to see you're coming along after the knee surgery. Wishing you the best
You all have a beautiful farm and I love watching you cut the hay and build it
Cole ... if you ever wanted to provide a relaxation video you could do one of 15-20 minutes of just drone footage with some of that wonderful music. Planting, rolling, spraying, haying, harvesting ... with some cattle in the grass or at the beach thrown in for good measure. Thank you 😉.
God bless you and all your family on this Independence Day weekend. 🇺🇸
I agree, JudyJudyJudy44! It would be perfect for relaxation.
We have been grateful that we have had some rain here in the Texas panhandle so we are doing alright with our crops. We keep on praying for rain, hopefully you guys get enough rain to keep your crops growing.
Here comes your rain, July 5th! I hope that you don't have any damaging storms!

Love the intro about the rain awesome drone footage
I want to wish the entire Sonne family and all Americans a Happy 4th of July!

Heck ya over here in Kansas. Finally are having a great double crop year. Lots of rain. Hay is good and crops are amazing
👍@Sonne Farms Thank you for what you do
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Cole. I pray you all get rain very soon!!
If Your singing is good enough for your lady, don’t fret- it will be great for your babies
Our prayers are with you all at Sonne Farms.
What a Beautiful site! God sure makes some land easy on the eyes as you get your work done!
Thanks fella's, Ms. Ellie.
Great video Cole,Brian,and Ellie.I hope that things are going well @ Sonne Farms and that your knee is improving.
Brian I heard from my friend in Montana that the Dakotas got blister beetles and the hay yield was ruined.
She didn't have any yield in hay and she is trying to find hay for sale. She said the price has doubled. She also said people are having to sell their livestock to slaughter because they either can't afford it or there is no hay to buy.😔
The drone footage is always fun to watch.
You are lookin better and better on every video. Keep doing your excerise and you will get thru this. Thank you for the video.
As an Australian I can sympathise with the heat + no rain. May you not get the floods that follow here. Hand feeding cattle and destocking is a hell our farmers face too often.
Thanks for your great videos . Thanks Dad too .
I think you did a real good job on what the fertilizer does. Keep up the good work this is my favorite channel.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. You all are great people. God bless.
Here's to rain coming soon! Drone shots are fantastic and the music is good! Have a beautiful and safe 4th of July weekend!! God Bless Y'all 🙏🙏

Very informative, fun with dad, love it.
What an awesome relationship between father and son.
Always a pleasure to follow you guys
God bless
Always enjoy your videos, but don’t enjoy the fact you need rain. Been there, but it’s like you all said, you can’t hold back due to uncertainties that may change tomorrow. You have to be all in. Praying for rain for you and all who need it.
An old farmer told me years ago that you don't plan for crop disaster. Like Brian saying swing for the fence.
I’m located in west central Oklahoma. I just started laying Sudan down today. Rotary swathers are bad about getting everything in the window in light hay. Just remember light hay slow the blades down and drive like crazy.
Great to see you up and about Cole! 🙌🏻
Praying for rain for you and all the farmers. Thanks for sharing. I truly enjoy your content.
I hope you get some rain. As always thank you for sharing. Love my farm family.
Great video today !
Don't worry, they never look lame.
Nice explanation on the urea applications. Risk and life cycle of the plant. Keep educating us !!
That's cool. Hope you heal quickly !! At least you have the big toys to get out on.
Here in central iowa we were/still are in a bit of a drought. Got some shots of storms a week or two ago that helped tremendously. South eastern Iowa having flooding and west Iowa in severe drought. Just goes to show how much different it can be from one side of the state to the other! Crazy
Getting better and taking the PT seriously. Good in ya!
You and Brian are like the Odd Couple of the farm world. Haha!
Cole, glad to see you making such good progress 4 weeks out of surgery. Keep up therapy, and don’t do anything stupid to impede your recovery. As usual, drone shots are my favorite.
Good to see you back at it!👍👍🙏🌧
This makes me hurt seeing your battle with no rain. Hopefully by now the rain situation has been resolved. Sending prayers for all the rain you need
Every thing looks like it's going good, getting stuff done your not over doing. I think every body is wishing for rain. Great video, take care waiting for the next one.
3 applications of 14-0-0 Urea coated Nitrogen (ONLY if rain or irrigation is applied shortly after) or a nice Lightning storm. Lightning creates Nitrates that helps the soil.
There is another cup holder behind the buddy seat, the buddy seat also folds down so you have a little tray.
Praying you get the rain you need. We're blessed here mid NC so far. Farmers are gamblers. The Lord is able to bless.
Nice to SEE YOU BACK walking AROUND AND riding with your dad be CAREFUL OUTTHERE cole
You are a good son, you have an awesome dad! Keep up the good work, just stay safe! Pam
Thanks so much
Great video, always enjoy the drone footage. Listen to your doctors, don’t push your knee too hard. Praying for your recovery.
You prayer warriors out there, send up a quick one for Cole and Brian...doesn’t have to be long and involved, just a quick ‘please send rain to these hard working farmers’ type...Cole, I LOVE these vids! So don’t put yourself down. You’re letting us into your life, your entire life, and I for one love that! I’m glad you’re healing well!! Keep ‘em coming!!

You are one of the most ambitious persons at your age that I know. I enjoyed the drone footage as always. Best wishes on your recovery. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you and your family have a great 4th of July. Be careful
Been sending prayers to all the farmers that need rain. Hopefully some of this rain from Florida makes it way North for y’all.
We would be glad to send you some of the deluge rain we have been getting in Upstate NY,
Coles walking and talking stride would go great with “Sunshine” playing in background. He’d be dancing LOL 😁
I have to apologize. We’ve been hoarding your rain here in Alabama. In my 12 acre pasture, we got 27 round bales a couple of weeks ago. They are 1200 pound bales.

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!! Happy 4th Of July 🇺🇸
don't feel bad Cole you gotta get that knee better plus you're getting out doing what you can praying y'all get some rain up there soon.
So glad to know there is still Hardware Hanks in the world. The hardware store of my childhood.
Thank you Cole and your Dad for sharing everything. I enjoy watching you and your Dad .God bless you and your family today and always.Have a Happy 4th of July.God bless you.Cole take care of that knee.

In Oregon we used to irrigate with big boom sprinklers. Some use the pipes on wheels all through the fields. But we did irrigate the fields.
awsome video cole ment to say in the last video that glad you surgeroy went well and that your yetting better thumbs up and shared
I live in a state that irrigates all crops. If I lived in a state that relies only on rain, I would be biting my knuckles all growing season. Good to see that knee getting better.
Glad to see your progress. Praying for rain for you.
Looks like another great video. The aerial shots are excellent, and I am amazed how you can do that while you’re in the tractor
🚜
Keep on with Pt. Have a great July 4th Hope and pray for rain for you’ll.God Bless
Cole, things are getting bad in Saskatchewan as well. We have been under a heat dome for the better part s a week now and high temperature records are being bested by quite a few degrees. We were close to + 40 C ( 103 F ) yesterday with no rain in sight for the next week. It is only a matter of time before the crops planted this year are lost due to lack of moisture.
That was a nasty week of heat. Check out Ice Age Farmer. Total manipulation on the farming industry
Glad your knee is coming along! I had total knee replacements to both knees & the relief was immediate and amazing. I’ll keep praying your recovery continues rapidly. Don’t overdo it though, you will only hurt yourself & your recovery time (sorry, that’s the nurse in me😊!).
Keep following the doctor's orders and get healed up properly. Hope you get the rain you need soon.
Cole, about your singing. Ahhh, don't give up your day job. :)
I wish we could send you all of our rain from the Gulf Coast close to Houston, cause we are sick and tired of being sick and tired of rain. MOF, It's raining right now here.
Cole, remember in elementary school math class and they taught us to reduce our fractions ?
40/100 = 4/10 ( inches of rain )
You can't be wasting all those zeros because they're worth something.
Oh wait, 0 equals nothing, nevermind.
That would be 2 /5ths
@@BrianGLee-bc7hj you are correct.
My mistake for using what the TV weatherman use. They're not even always correct with their forecast.
😂
I hope you guys get same rain soon I will be praying for you guys to get same rain
I'm thinking just about every place is needing some rain about now. Great video good to see u up and out and moving around. Keep it up and u will be out shooting hoops soon.
Hey... be careful Cole. My daughter was conceived about 4 weeks after ACL replacement. Hahaha. You're further along now, so it's probably too late, if the advice was gonna do you any good. Lol.
Nice. I just got off of running our W235/500R header for 7 straight days knocking hay down. Dry up here in Montana too.
Here comes your rain, July 5th. Hope you don't have any damaging storms. It looks like it has an area of hail from the radar.
Glad you are doing well.
Celebrate a safe and prosperous 4th @ Sonne Farms. Keep feeding the rest of us as we continue God's grace to others in our free country. Keep rehabbing, too. Brian is falling behind! lol God answers prayer, so we'll keep it up.
Hope you get your Rain soon !! Take it easy on the knee Cole. Chas.,SC
Just had the hay fields cut on Saturday due to all the rain… raking and bailing this afternoon.
