Thank you for your service as a farmer. There are many people who appreciate all your BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS with farming. Im a truck driver of 19 yrs and I've had my ups and downs. God bless you and your family and thanks for the video. I wish I had land to put a home on. Maybe one day I'll find it.
Best, most heart-warming, heart-felt, real editorial from 3:45 to 4:25. You, Sir, are a great dad. And yes, Cole, that was both fun & satisfying to watch when the water started flowing.
Women: Boys like their big vroom vroom machines. Men: The power to shape the literal earth beneath our feet to our whim. 1000s of years equivalent of natural processes, done in a couple of hours.
As a 19 year old heavy equipment operator this is so very true. Whether I’m running a backhoe or running d10 dozers or even 797 haul trucks it’s so much fun
came back to this video to say this is when i started watching, two years later learned a lot about farming and cattle then i would have ever thought. thanks
At leats you aren't in Southern France. Here we dont have much dirt. Most of it is clay and rock. It clogs everything up, especially when the ground is wet.
I knew a few farm boys in the Corps and now more than ever, I am thanking you and everyone in the farming community. We go fight bad guys to keep everyone we love safe but you guys are every bit as important. Thanks for being your own brand of badass!
The water in the field seemed to be caused by the introduction of that driveway where they put the culvert. The drone fly-over made it pretty clear what was going on with the land, and what that are dealing with, hopefully a government entity wouldn't take issue with tending to their land. Those calling it a wetland may be off here, I think it's clearly "wet", but it's basically a marsh that is caused by the blockage of water. In Oregon, I see the same things every year, there are fields that are flooded and you wonder how they ever get farmed. They have a way to control the water to flood it as needed. It's land that is farmed, it's not a wetland. If you listen to what he described, they farm it, and you could see it clearly had corn stalks from previous years. Great video, appreciate the work of farmers. Completely under appreciated job by many IMO.
I think working ANY job where you work alongside your dad must be very neat. I'm sure you could get on each other's nerves but it must be awesome to have Dad right there to give you the benefit of his experience and answer any questions you have, as you have them. For that reason, watching this dad and son working this farm together is as satisfying as watching that water drain away.
I'm from the city, in Grand Rapids Michigan. I've never spent a single day on a farm. But, I've spent hours watching your videos and I'm just fascinated by you, your dad, the cows, the fields... everything basically! 😀😃 What a privilege to be allowed into your lives through these videos. Keep em coming guys, I'm sure I'm not the only city slicker watching and loving every minute of it! 😁😁🐄🐄🐮🐮🚜
things like this use to be fun for me . now that i'm older i see the results of greedy farmers always wanting more and more of the land open . they take more and more bush down and then drain what use to be a slough . now with most bush gone the winds blow hard and in winter the snow drifts are hard like rocks .
I used to come your way as a kid (I spent summers in Yankton with my grandparents) and cut weeds. I have scars from the machete being swung by the guys in the row next to me! That was hot, blistering work, and hard work, and I remember it fondly.
Kristiansand here, it's so satisfying. Any time I see water building up my first instinct is to dig a trench for it. I envy the operators doing this on a daily basis so much, lol
Cole tell you dad you were not stuck wit him, you two much such a good team and your relationship is something worth more than money could ever buy. Now that is a Child hood!
Wow you and your dad live the good life on a farm you seem happy and love what you do. Your dad loves you and you seem like you both enjoy your farm work it is tranquil and a less stressful way of living. I love watching your chores!
Maybe we enjoy these types of videos because we don't see all the things that make modern life possible. You guys are unsung heroes! Without you, life as we know it would be very different (and difficult)!
Nice looking farm. I like how the next generation of media savvy farmers are sharing their farm life with us slickers. I watch Tom Pemberton Farm Life in England, SaskDutch Kid in Saskatchewan, and now you. All good stuff.
I dug up the side of our house with Tonka trucks when I was a kid. So much fun. I would sit and watch the street department dig up stuff. The 70's were so good.
We had a problem like this, we planted some good bushes along the slope of the ditch and it helped a lot with the saturation of the soil. Also if you ever have this problem near the house or barns then you can dig a big hole where it's always saturated and bury couple big barrels filled with rocks.(smaller rocks on top to keep soil from easily filling it up). It drains water into them, keeping the ground nice. You won't even know they are in the ground after. Had ours in for years and had 0 problems.
So glad you guys located the lines before digging, you do not know how many times I've been called out to do repairs on cut cables from people digging out ditches...Was kinda scary seeing you place the bucket right on the orange lines but you took it slow and steady and didn't try to dig too deep, kudos on getting it opened up and draining out the fields, can't wait to see more!!!
Really enjoy your videos! Enjoy the time that you get to work with your father, it is really a blessing to be able to do that. Sure looks like you guys have a good relationship, keep it that way. Look forward to your next video!
Where is this magical land of zero rocks? I live in Massachusetts and it's nothing but rocks everywhere. Amazing how smooth all that earth is. Try digging some post holes here and you'll use every curse word ever invented.
Now you know why there are so many stone walls here in New England. Early farmers rolled the stones out of the fields and let them pile-up on the boundaries of their lands. But have pity on the early farmers of the West. Try busting through that sod with an Ox team and a moldboard..you'll be wishing for the rocks!

What i found that is a natural solution to mosquitoes is bats. ..A bat will eat between 500-1000 mosquitoes every single night....A bat house, which is easy to make, will hold 65-80 bats. So you are looking to remove 32,500- 80,000 everynight...Are you okay with that?..If you put one in just remember to put it 10-18 feet up. Summer shade but winter Sun....they will effectively destroy a mosquito population in the course of a season
My grandfather was letting me drive a backhoe at 6 years old I've driven dozers all sorts of stuff before I was even 10 but I was lucky and had one of the best Grandpa's
"A 10-year-old with a backhoe..." Am I the only one to have a flashback to a Phineas and Ferb song? ("You seem a little green to be/controlling this machinery....") But then building a roller coaster may be different from digging a culvert.
very relaxing to watch,laughed at your dad talking about you when you were small. love the drone view,aren't those things great,cant wait till tomorrow video to see that colvert go in.be safe hugs
3:45 i remember when i was probably 7 or 8 we had bought the field directly across the road from our house and the corner was basically used as a junk yard for old equipment and whatever when we bought it we scraped everything sitting there and there was so much metal and stuff in the dirt it was unfarmable but we ended up diging in the area with the excavator getting fill for some big sink holes and i sat on my dads lap and he taught me how to run the excavator then for about a solid month ev5day after school i would run across the road and just dig in that like 1 acre area dad just let me lose because nothing there to hit or destroy was good times
One time there was a sinkhole formed under my mum's road in the tiny little village she lived in, I used to go over and talk to the guys working it, and they let me use one of the pneumatic drills. Can't imagine it happening now, but it was only about 18 years ago!
That’s okay….hard work on the farm doesn’t hurt anybody….I loved growing on the farm…My dad only had my sister and myself…We could run all equipment…We worked side by side on dad on our dairy farm..24/7….Did custom baling….Lots of work..I loved it..
This reminds me of when my son was young and we would dam a stream and let the water build up and then take a video of the dam breaking and the water rushing. Good times. He's passed away six years ago from cancer. He'd be 34 years old today. 8:30 What is this music? I've never heard anything quite like it. I like it a lot.
Now your instagram post from the other day makes more sense I thought it might have been from you forgetting to turn off the water and causing flooding. :D Great video! Always great to see Ellie.
This vid reminded me how much I miss working with my "Pop" on his farm as a kid. Thankfully I have the memories. G'day from Millers Forest, New South Wales, Australia.
This is my first video that I've watched on your channel, it appeared from nowhere on my youtube recommended videos.Best wishes from me, to your family from Transilvania, Romania. P.S Let your dad tell his stories and Jeff, we need more Jeff. Oh I almost forgot, say hello to Steve, nice kid by the way. A new subscriber today. :-)
I have deep roots in South Dakota..my grandpa was a farmer from faulkton.. The Kellens it was nice to see your video.God Bless you South Dakota..from Tennessee 👍🙏 you are in my thoughts and prayers
I was playing on my John Deere today in the water making it move from someplace it wasn't supposed to be to someplace else. I was thinking the whole time, "I wish I had this tractor when I was a kid" LOL
you are a man of many talents, your dad gave a good description of you if you were 10 or 12 again great video you did a great job, like the back round music too, is it fun flying the drone
I love that old house across the road behind where you was digging that that would look awesome when it was livable it looks empty and ready to fall down now but it's beautiful
That was indeed strangely satisfying :). Before you uncorked the 'bottle' it was not obvious to the eye just how much water was lying in the field! And then the drone shots really showed the extent of the problem.
in some areas youd need a 10 year wet lands study to determine if that ditch destroyed the habitat of some particular sub species of tick. 10/10 would dig again.
Alot of dirty lessons here. Use gravel to level the pipe and or get grade. Clean the edge of the ditch next time. Start from the other side that way you know what your finish grade is or or use a laser or level. But that's farm ditchin..
It's not like your brother is a civil engineering and could have shot the pipe elevation in for you, Cole! Also, may want to consider flared ends on either side of the pipe. Invite me next time you do something like this!
Well acquainted with big Mike Sonne used to be a banker in my hometown, from Mt. Vernon area. Awesome guy, is he a relation? The algorithm won for once, I had a strong feeling you were from east river hearing you talk and seeing the land, but wasnt positive til I saw the end credit. Good job on a successful channel, 54k subs is a healthy start. Keep it up.
When you put the drone up, you could really get a sense of just why it was hard to plant in that field. Looks like a swamp with all that standing water in it!
It's weird watching a tractor mounted backhoe actually, you know, work at digging something with a decent sized bucket. The mythical land of only soil probably helped
My dad had a plumbing co. when I was a kid, and when his helper was sick(hung over) my dad would come to the school and pull me out to run the backhoe. Was about 8, great times I'll always remember.
I love the dad he seems so genuinely happy to be with his son working for his family

Hahaaaa. I keep finding the legends name everywhere i go with drains, water, blockages. We need more unblocks.
was almost expecting him to show up with his rake for removing that last blockage
Lol i watch him lol
Bob Ross: lets put a happy cloud over here
Post10: let me put these sticks and rocks over here
This was the video I watched that started my love for this channel..my how they have changed..🇨🇦❤️
I wish I had land that easy to dig - southern New England is one big boulder farm.

Well this is very south in Canada you can tell by how flat it is the further north you go the rockier she gets
Just kidding this is south Dakota sure does look like Ontario
At leats you aren't in Southern France. Here we dont have much dirt. Most of it is clay and rock. It clogs everything up, especially when the ground is wet.
Only a farmer knows how exciting it is to get blocked water build ups sorted. Great work. Thanks for sharing
There's something satisfying about watching water flow whether it be a creek, a river..... or a culvert drain. 👍

I dug up the side of our house with Tonka trucks when I was a kid. So much fun. I would sit and watch the street department dig up stuff. The 70's were so good.
Working in the fields and cultivating is making the country grow. God bless you.

That breach needs a post 10 approved culvert.
I read ‘culvert’ in his accent.
soon as I saw unblocking and water....I came looking for a post10 reference. Not disappointed 😂
That view and sound of water rushing is why i loved visiting my grandparents' orchard on irrigation day.
I used to talk to my cows and they look at you like they understand every word you say and then do the opposite.
Farmers . The spine of any nation . RESPECT .
Suggestion, when digging a gravity drain always start at the downstream end and work to the high end.
LMAO
...which he did with that breach, so...
Countryside is so flat it’s amazing not to have hills. John from Scotland 🏴

Yeah, as one that locates the lines. The proximity to that phone pedestal was a little unnerving for me as well.

Yay, thank you!
You missed an opportunity with that ditch digging to bust out a transit and measure out the perfect slope. It's more fun than you think!
Quite right...the difference between a 'drainage ditch' versus just a ditch.

Good job on a successful channel, 54k subs is a healthy start. Keep it up.
Thank you! Yes, Mike is my cousin!
Will you put a pipe
Cole and Brian give each other hard times. 👍
Those ditches look pretty choked, need some clearing out to get drainage flows working better.
Wow I don’t know anything about excavating but that is one bad ass tractor setup.
I lost telephone service that day with your shenanigans 😁
Post10 needs to add this to his list.
You are digging the wrong way start downstreams next tim then you have the bottom with you 👍
When you put the drone up, you could really get a sense of just why it was hard to plant in that field. Looks like a swamp with all that standing water in it!
I love your dad’s narration at 3:40 haha 😂
Great drone footage and good looking bulls. Always enjoy the videos.
Good job guys, stay safe in SD.
I knew someone was going to mention Post 10.
It's weird watching a tractor mounted backhoe actually, you know, work at digging something with a decent sized bucket. The mythical land of only soil probably helped
It is beautiful soil
I feel like I really put in a hard day of work watching you work
Saw a video once wherein a Chinese taught his five-year-old to operate a front end loader. Apparently, the little guy actually could.
My dad had a plumbing co. when I was a kid, and when his helper was sick(hung over) my dad would come to the school and pull me out to run the backhoe. Was about 8, great times I'll always remember.
Ive seen videos where about a 5 yr old asian kid is cooking
All joking aside I could never be a farmer and I have the utmost respect for them. Thank You.
