Just watched the last of all the videos you have loved them . I think your mom and dad are a lovely couple and raised a grate family. Dont worry Cole Godhas someone for you and when the time is right you will find her . My first husband was a farmer in Ind but lost him 3 yrs after married loved the life. God bless you'll and need some more videos.
I liked how those three calves already know the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The colours in your drone shots picking up the bales were spectacular. Another great video.
Aloha hard workers always enjoy watching you guys any way it’s a Blessing that you have your Daddy ! Today would have been my father’s Birthday miss him, he was from Buffalo NY 97yrs ago oh well GOD BLESS
Cole, over the past few videos, enjoying your beautiful country side, got to thinking of the time my brother and I with our 3 small boys visited our eldest brother in Hamill. This was back in 96. Took me forever to remember where we went. If I recall Hamill was a pretty small place, deep in the country side - the closet town of significance was Winner. Our eldest brother was the pastor at the local church in Hamill for two years. Even went fishing below the dam in Pierre. As usual, another great video. Wishing you and your Dad the best.
Daddy Sonne AKA Brian the Hoodlum, Bruno Mars and the Hoodlums have nothing on your look 🤣🤣 ! Cole love 💕 the aerial shots and accompanying music and also shots from different angles, makes for very soothing watching enjoyment 😌!
we used to stack and haul bales like you guys do. then we bought a bale picker with an arm. saved a lot of time and made all the rows nice and straight and perfectly stacked. would definitely recommend one.
I have a friend who bought one of the loading bale trailers for round bales. They went back and forth on buying one for years. After they bought theirs they said we should have done it years ago. But they do hay a fair amount of acres for their cattle operation up in here Alberta. They usually run 2-3 sections of alfalfa and/or grass.
It appears you already have more bales than you could use in a year. Some excellent / different camera positions / angles. Never got to see the piece of equipment you were checking out. Great enjoyable clog. . Thanks for sharing
The tube line bale trailers are very handy. We have had one for 4 years now and it cuts your hauling time in half. They are a very worth while investment.
Great video Cole, I remember all too well that horrible wind lol from Montana and Wyoming all the way east to Minnesota is notorious for the high winds. Miss Ellie girl is a great cow dog too. She's such a pretty and sweet girl. I really like that breed of dog.
Love your vids when ever I’m bored I will watch your vids old or new mainly old as I’ve watched all the newer ones, I’d love to be a farmer bean a dream since I was a kid I’m 14 now I drive a lot but haven’t bean able to get a farming job.
Hey guys, thanks for entertaining me again today ! I don't want y'all to get a swelled head or anything, but it's kind of impressive that you know how to operate so many different kinds of equipment. I was wondering, are all tractors kind of the same, but it's just that some of the controls are in a different place ? Cole, I'm still waiting for a ride on the inside of the baler. Have you done any more than just think about a PO Box? Your dad wants a picture (not of me, you goofball 😂) and other than through email the two of us are too old to figure out how to do it. I don't think I've got enough printer ink to print a very big picture anyway. I am super smart, I do know how to send a picture in a text. Help us out buddy, will ya ? 😏
Hey, we have one of those bale collector things that you were talking about. And they are very useful and effective. We use a techno-bale 900. You can hold 5 bales on the back and one on the front loader, it’s not the biggest trailer but it gets the job done. You should rly consider it and they are super cheap
Bird poop problem- get some "Bird Spikes" More expensive than 3 plastic owls- but they work. Probably find some in farm supply store. You can get them in 10 foot lengths. Do a search on Amazon or Google. You stick them on the top of the beams in the shed, spikes upward, and the birds can land or perch there.
Thanks for the great idea on the " locked position" for Briones hat. We were watching your video at an emergency practice for the Elks Drinking Team and that got us to thinking ( although, in full disclosure, the last time we got to thinking resulting in three firetrucks, 2 ambulances, 5 police cruisers, a hostage negotiator, and my mom having to show up at the scene). But, as we were finishing the 5th round of practice and our 7th round of beers ( don't know why those 2 numbers arent equal), we decided to improve on Briones idea. We went out to the parking lot and looked at the tonneau cover on Darrell's old truck that he found while deer hunting one night ( we painted over the " Game Warden" sign on the side and now its his). We took off some of the snaps that hold the cover on and we riveted them to the steel plate in Neds skull. We then glued the other ends to the inside of Neds seed corn hat that he got from the seed rep that ran off with his wife. It seemed really sturdy so we stood Ned up in the bed of Darrell's pickup and went ripping down the road at 75 MPH. The hat stayed on perfect! The only problem was that Ned forgot to duck when we went under the blinker light in front of the feed mill so now we owe the county some money for a new light. But, the concept is solid so we thought maybe you can promote it on your channel . We call it the " Snap Cap". We go into production as soon as we get enough money together after paying for the traffic blinker. We will split the profits with you. Larry ( my accountant) says that if we pay you 15% for promotion, use 60% for product costs, 20% for beer for the crew, that will leave us with a solid 30% profit. Thanks for your consideration.
@@SonneFarms sounds like an idea! Let's make this happen! I'll have our marketing director, Izzy, call you. So, if you get a call and the operator asks, " will you accept a call from the County Correctional Facility" , go ahead and take the call. Its Izzy. Don't worry, he didn't do anything bad. He just has a habit of waking up with a hangover and forgetting to put his pants on before he goes out on his motorcycle.
@@dalegereaux1863 he hasn't been back since " the incident". His name was taken down from the roster of the Drinking Team and the 73 Dodge where he lived was converted into condos.
@@alexdrake9931 is this the incident we are not allowed to talk about due to penalty of death or is there a new one? I wish I would have known he lost his old Dodge. I just gave her a 94 Dodge van to the junkman because the squirrels chewed up all the wiring. It would have made a great condo for Darrell. There was even a queen-size bed in the back end !
When I was a young lad living on a farm we kept an old bathtub next to the house that we kept full of water for our dog. Easy to clean, and we had her sorta (there were days when this was less successful) trained to jump in it instead of any old dirty puddle.
We have a cheap quick disconnect for our hay wagon...we just have twine tied to the pin and pull it up into to cab to unhook. Only bad thing is can’t use a clip but saves jumping out of the tractor once.
You need to put that White Ford truck in another building. If you leave it in there with the JD tractors and Chevy trucks they will start breaking down for no reason lol. Really enjoying the channel.
Great video! Also the tractor on your mixer feed wagon would easily operate the round baler! 🤣 because my brother has a johndeere 6125m and that runs a rake and krone Tedder and round baler. Great content 🌾👍🏽
I sure wish there was a way you could share some of that hay with Our Wyoming Ranch. He’s got 500 acres that he relays on for winter feed and the growth is so bad he isn’t going to waste the fuel trying to hay it. It’s really going to hurt him this year, on top of CV-19
As you know, if you can keep the bales off the earth, it will not spoil as quickly. Good looking hay, though. I've been to and through the Dakotos and they're beautiful. God bless...
I think it is interesting that you raise black angus bulls. Do you have separate and select breeding stock for that, or is it simply the males that come thru your herd. I really enjoy your posts.
I have an 8 bale picker which is all you need to gather the bales to the end of the field to then load on a trailer, i have a semi flat-deck on a dolly to haul longer distance and to deliver bales to customers, but if yer hay field is close to home the picker is fine to unload in the yard, i cant leave my net-wrap like you guys or it'll freeze down, we put ground ones on flat side then a top row normal to shed rain.
We do not finish cattle. We background them. The calves we buy are 400 to 500 pounds and we feed them up to about 800 to 900. Then they go to finishing lots to go up to around 1300 to 1500 pounds finished.
Cole you and your dad keep up the good work keep them videos coming I love watching how you farm your hay in round bales compared to us out here in California with the big square bales have you guys ever considered the big bales ?
Do you ever sell your extra bails of hay - and sell your corn - how long can you keep bail of hay?? that way you can earn extra money - love the videos - ty ty
We demoed a Morris hay hiker this year and you can’t beat the speed of how fast you can pick up 14 bales but it’s a disaster unloading. Not to mention they want over 30k for them.
We own a Morris (pro ag) 14 bale move around 5k a year with it and have had it about 5 years now wouldn't change anything about it when unloading you tilt the deck back and line it up with the bales that are already stacked never had problems.
Brian Sonne, We want to use the divider so our bales will be spaced and it will push the first two bales apart when starting a new row of bales and the next 10 will be good and spaced and the last 2 will be a couple feet from the row of bales and be spread apart. If the push par would push them all the way off it wouldn’t be near the problem.
@5:45, I tried the plastic owl, robins insisted on nesting over my 1967 Chrysler...they just laughed at him (took selfies, drew nasty pictures on him etc...). Bought a red tailed hawk, that actually worked for a few years, then they got wise. Guess a falcon is next...
Take a rope and tie to the top of the hitch pin and run into the cab through the grommet in the rear window. Takes a huge load off of your legs and knees much better to only have to get out to hook and not to unhook
Hi men. was wondering why your truck is called a semi , your dog likes to cool down lol don't forget to leave some clean water out for her.must try that lock on me cap see if works, anyway thanks for the video's like seen how you do things over there , cheer's stay save .
Just watched the last of all the videos you have loved them . I think your mom and dad are a lovely couple and raised a grate family. Dont worry Cole Godhas someone for you and when the time is right you will find her . My first husband was a farmer in Ind but lost him 3 yrs after married loved the life.

Sorry to hear that. Glad you like the videos
Awww Ellie stole my heart when she plopped down in Lake Sonne. Thanks for another great video.

Looks like a great harvest. Love the placement of the cameras.
Thanks 👍
@@SonneFarms yes very good camera work !
Your farm looks much nicer in summer. It must be good when it stops snowing and raining.. For you and the cows
Daddy Sonne AKA Brian the Hoodlum, Bruno Mars and the Hoodlums have nothing on your look 🤣🤣 ! Cole love 💕 the aerial shots and accompanying music and also shots from different angles, makes for very soothing watching enjoyment 😌!
Sounds like ‘your guy’ is a great guy! Always good to see their are some good guys left in sales and parts.
Must be great peace of mind to know that your winter feed supply is good. You also know that if a neighbor needs help you have the means.
thats for sure
Awesome drone shots in this and prior raking and baling video. Cute dog love how she helps with the cattle.
Great video shots specially the ones under the tractor and off the round bail , sweet ......
Thanks 👍
Thank you guys. Appreciate all you do for us.
Our pleasure!
Man, isn’t it freakin’ annoying that the piece you need is always clear in the back of the shed? It never fails! Have a great week, Cole!
Thank you for taking the time and energy to video log what your all operations look like!
Our pleasure!

Your dog always looks happy.
Thank you Brian for today's video. Great job doing the fill in roll Cole. Lol.
The tube line bale trailers are very handy. We have had one for 4 years now and it cuts your hauling time in half. They are a very worth while investment.
I like your anywhere and everywhere camera shots
nice angle and view !!!
What great drone footage beautiful colors so clear
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Cole, I remember all too well that horrible wind lol from Montana and Wyoming all the way east to Minnesota is notorious for the high winds. Miss Ellie girl is a great cow dog too. She's such a pretty and sweet girl. I really like that breed of dog.
Your dad is so stinking funny!! ‘Lock’ position...hehehe...!
Good video,thanks for taking time to show us whats happening on Sonne Farms.
Thanks Frank!
just love Ellie the Kool Farm Friend, has her own groove an that's the way it is ,
Peace Blessings craig ,

Hey guys, thanks for entertaining me again today !
I don't want y'all to get a swelled head or anything, but it's kind of impressive that you know how to operate so many different kinds of equipment. I was wondering, are all tractors kind of the same, but it's just that some of the controls are in a different place ? Cole, I'm still waiting for a ride on the inside of the baler.

Hey dale, tractors can be very different, especially when changing brand. I will set a reminder to call the post office early this Monday!
The john deere tractors are somewhat similar, but some have left hand reversers and some dont. 'that can really throw you off.
Thank you for all that you do
You are so welcome
12:37 “Go to our friend, hes a dealer for
drugs” 😂😂

Glad you liked it!
Great video as always!
Another Great video keep up the hard work. Hope all is well and have a good weekend !!!!!!
It gets windy here in SW Minnesota too, (Buffalo Ridge) !!!!!!
Nice drone footage and tunes... ☺
When I was a young lad living on a farm we kept an old bathtub next to the house that we kept full of water for our dog. Easy to clean, and we had her sorta (there were days when this was less successful) trained to jump in it instead of any old dirty puddle.
My brother once had the same problem like you with the door and the wind. The difference is that his door blew away 😅
It’s that South Dakota wind. The wind there can be unbelievable.
You are awesome
Love the vid can’t wait to see the video about the 620 case quad trac
I can only imagine what farming must have been like without the equipment you have available today.
you mean the amish?...
N /A I had not thought about that.
Awesome Video and Much LOVE As Always 🌞 Farms!!!!
You rock!
Quick tip if you bend your welding rod to a 45 or a little more your vertical downs will be a lot easier
Thanks
Everyone remember to LIKE this video!!! We can't keep these great videos to ourselves....SHARE!
Man thats a lot of hard work ,working on a big farm good job guys!.
Thanks 👍
We have a cheap quick disconnect for our hay wagon...we just have twine tied to the pin and pull it up into to cab to unhook. Only bad thing is can’t use a clip but saves jumping out of the tractor once.
What a perfect day.
Excellent video 👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
You need to put that White Ford truck in another building. If you leave it in there with the JD tractors and Chevy trucks they will start breaking down for no reason lol. Really enjoying the channel.
Your bail trailer is awesome! Could you add an extra trailer to the back of it to increase capacity?
I think they would not trail very well if we added another
Thought farmers were up early lol 5am my dog has to go out lol just teasing lol
have you thought about widening the forks and picking up 2 bales to put on the trailer at a time?
There really isnt a way to do that with the bale spear. We do have a double bale spear that we put on our bigger loader tractor
Great video! Also the tractor on your mixer feed wagon would easily operate the round baler! 🤣 because my brother has a johndeere 6125m and that runs a rake and krone Tedder and round baler. Great content 🌾👍🏽

It looks like you guys need to take another trip to get more railroad ties and some rock LMAO that gate is getting to be another lake Sonne LOL
true
Hey Cole, looks like you are working good on your "Farmers Tan" Hmmmm wonder how that expression came to be? 😎
I think it is interesting that you raise black angus bulls. Do you have separate and select breeding stock for that, or is it simply the males that come thru your herd. I really enjoy your posts.
Could have gotten 3 more bails on that trailer!...LOL
Hi, I just found your channel. How many acres does your family have? Thanks for sharing your farm 🚜 life.
I’m a new subscriber, love the content on here! Keep up the good work and thank you for what you do 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Welcome aboard!
I come here for the vids, and I continue to watch because of linguistic masterpieces like “dead critter goo” … 😎!
I have an 8 bale picker which is all you need to gather the bales to the end of the field to then load on a trailer, i have a semi flat-deck on a dolly to haul longer distance and to deliver bales to customers, but if yer hay field is close to home the picker is fine to unload in the yard, i cant leave my net-wrap like you guys or it'll freeze down, we put ground ones on flat side then a top row normal to shed rain.
Great video 👍
Now I know why Grandpa's hat was sometimes not straight. Turns out, he just had it locked!
We had a farm hand on our farm who wore his hat like that! Never realized he was locking it in place!
The calves you feed in the bunk line, are you finishing them out?
We do not finish cattle. We background them. The calves we buy are 400 to 500 pounds and we feed them up to about 800 to 900. Then they go to finishing lots to go up to around 1300 to 1500 pounds finished.
If I remember living on the farm and are neighbour used an old semi trailer for hauling his bales home from the field
Do you ever place additional gravel on the farm driveways. They so often appear to be muddy and with many puddles.
Yes. We get approximately 20 straight truck loads of gravel a year.
We just started hay yesterday
Learnin alot thank you!!
My pleasure!
Nothing like a good resting water hole
Great camera work.
Thank you very much!
Those cows look so fluffy when they are new.. Do you guys have one of those old street sweeper scratching posts for them?
nope
Cole you and your dad keep up the good work keep them videos coming I love watching how you farm your hay in round bales compared to us out here in California with the big square bales have you guys ever considered the big bales ?
We like our round bales, easy to handle, the round baler is 1/4 the cost of a square baler. Rounds last better outside.
How many cows do you try to turn each year? How do you market your beef? sale barn,,feed lot,,direct sale to consumer?
We have an old bath under a shed down pipe for our hot dogs. not to mention all the water troughs.........
Do you ever sell your extra bails of hay - and sell your corn - how long can you keep bail of hay?? that way you can earn extra money - love the videos - ty ty
A dealer for.... drugs😂😂😂😂😂😂, I was dying laughing at that one!
We demoed a Morris hay hiker this year and you can’t beat the speed of how fast you can pick up 14 bales but it’s a disaster unloading. Not to mention they want over 30k for them.
What is the unloading issue?
We own a Morris (pro ag) 14 bale move around 5k a year with it and have had it about 5 years now wouldn't change anything about it when unloading you tilt the deck back and line it up with the bales that are already stacked never had problems.
Brian Sonne, We want to use the divider so our bales will be spaced and it will push the first two bales apart when starting a new row of bales and the next 10 will be good and spaced and the last 2 will be a couple feet from the row of bales and be spread apart. If the push par would push them all the way off it wouldn’t be near the problem.
Haden Wichman, You must not use the divider then?
👍👌🇨🇦❤, Ellie is definitely a cool dog, literally
I heard dealer and instantly thought. "Meth, We're on it." Good ole SD.
😂
how do your bales stay dry in the rain? does the net wrap protect it from the water? great video!
Yes it does
Brilliant as always love the drone footage perfect music were do you get your music from ? stay safe !!!
Music is free from youtube
Nice we have a 7520 too
I like that 6145 R John Deere, think it would take me a day or two to drive it to Houston, Cole?
Oh my, that would take a while! Top speed is about 26 mph
How many cows do you have and how much hay do you go through in a typical year?
@5:45, I tried the plastic owl, robins insisted on nesting over my 1967 Chrysler...they just laughed at him (took selfies, drew nasty pictures on him etc...). Bought a red tailed hawk, that actually worked for a few years, then they got wise. Guess a falcon is next...
Very interesting!
Why did you spread the corn out in the bunker? Another great video
We had to drive forward for the corn to come out of the truck
@@SonneFarms yeah, duh, slap myself in the forehead.
Mary had to cry herself to sleep, no final word from Brian at the end of the video. I thought it was well done though!
Mary from the fire department?
Brian Sonne yes sir!
Nice video!
Thanks for the visit
How many bath's do you give Ellie in a week, thanks for the video fella's. Have a good one.
She gives herself one about 4 times a week
Take a rope and tie to the top of the hitch pin and run into the cab through the grommet in the rear window. Takes a huge load off of your legs and knees much better to only have to get out to hook and not to unhook
For your bird problem...... we put fake snakes in the rafters of our barns and seems to do a good job
Hi men. was wondering why your truck is called a semi , your dog likes to cool down lol don't forget to leave some clean water out for her.must try that lock on me cap see if works, anyway thanks for the video's like seen how you do things over there , cheer's stay save .
thanks we do keep fresh water out for elle i think she prefers the flavored
