Brian you don't need to show the world how a father loves their child. However the video sequence around 13 min I felt the love you have for your family and you children. Cole this would not happen unless you had awesome loving parents. My hat is off to you as a family.
For Brian - A recent college grad visits a farm one day. He approaches the farmer and points to one of the trees. "You know, with the methods you old farmers use, I'd be surprised if you could get one bushel of apples from that tree" says the college grad. "I'd be too" the farmer answers. "That's a peach tree."
I really hope the store takes off and is very successful. You guys seem like really great guys and I wish you the best. Cole, what is your favorite job on the farm? You really seem to enjoy baling. You do a right neat jobn thre buddy. Great video and thanks.
If you want the store to takeoff then more people need to move to the country where they live and give them business. Not a bad lifestyle but can be very challenging.
In my hometown of Douglass, KS, there is a restaurant named The Triangle. Small town diner with Mexican/American food. We still go there all the time, but usually for supper. When my grandpa was alive, I remember him taking me and my cousin into town after morning chores to have breakfast. I remember even more vividly the camaraderie between the farmers and ranchers who did the same, the conversations about last nights storm, commodity markets, the latest politician to piss them all off, etc. It is a memory that solidifies the notion that there is nothing better in this country than small town America. The laughter and friendship, the advice and knowledge, and helping each other whenever it was needed. I am so happy that you get to keep your version of that going with Storla Station. I would bet that a lot of viewers will support the co-op regardless of location. Let us know how and where to go, and we will likely help try to keep the lights on with you. P.S. Cole, the Dakota Tom's egg and sausage croissants look delicious. I recommend keeping those in stock!
I can see a Video of Brian walking through a corn field. In the background off camera Cole whispers "If you build it, he will come." Brian looks around, "If you build it, he will come." Brian looks into the distance and sees the Storla shop in the corn. The new "Wall Drug" of Storla, SD. Future vacation stop.
I actually gave a couple of hands for this one Cole. So thankful for the harvest. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Brian, your input in these videos is the best. Please and thank you. Not to sound disrespectful in any manner. You really explain everything so I can understand. I (edited) live in a city, Brian. Your input to these fantastic videos is really meaningful. Thank you so very much for your videos, Brian. It’s actually my favorite part of the videos. Thank you. We all deeply appreciate it. I know that I will never, nor will ever be a farmer. But I think that you way undervalue your input. I actually would absolutely love a Brian video. Cole could still edit it up just fine. Save safe y’all.
I love you guys. Farmers ARE American Heroes. I'm so grateful for all of the farmer partners involved in the Co-Op store. You all work so hard for America's food supply. Thanks to Brian, Jeff and Cole.
I'm praying for a 4th cutting. You for the hay, me for the drone meditations. I can never get enough time listening to that acoustic guitar and watching you two bail.
You guys are so likable, dare I say lovable!?!? You bring your viewers in with being your natural selves and with your great father-son relationship. You both have great, fun personalities that are a joy to watch. I enjoy every video....you guys rock!!!
Your father and son dynamic is epic. The old man is a bloody good rooster. Reminds me of my old man and I back in the day before I had my own family. Good memories!
Brian, I've said it before, and it's worth mentioning again... I truly wish you all the success in the world for your new venture. The nearest town to us is just 3 miles away, and it sounds like yours. I'll be 30 years old soon and I can even remember when the town was " semi- busy", but my parents and grandparents show me pictures and tell me stories of when EVERY storefront was filled and busy and the town was immaculate. They had the old multi level hardware store with the wooden floors and the basket that came down from upstairs for your money and change. They had 2 feed mills and multiple machinery dealerships. Now, there is just a Dairy Queen and several bars. If it wasn't for the railroad siding, nobody would show up there. I don't want to get all nostalgic, but I miss even what was there when I was a kid and listening to the old " round table" on Saturday mornings at the feed mill, especially the " inflated claims" on corn yields and the stories of the buck somebody got during deer season whose rack got bigger with each version of the story. I am sad my 2 boys will never experience that history. But, what you are doing is bringing some of that back to your community, and I applaud you and respect you so much. And, when you get your inventory stocked, I DEFINITELY would be honored to do business with you. My dad said the same thing, but then he had to criticize me for running over his toolbox. Anyway... Best of luck !
@@alexdrake9931 lol Alex I appreciate you watching and commenting each video. Most of your comments are comical but the ones i love the best is when you are serious and so kind. Your sons have a great dad!
@@briansonne814 Thank you Brian. Cole and his brothers are very blessed to have you as a father. I know I joke a lot about my dad, but I thank God everyday he is my dad. I'm sure Cole does the same regarding you as his dad. A LOT of men can be " fathers ", but you and my father are " dads." I mean that as a great compliment and I pray that I will be even half the " dad" that the 2 of you are.
I think it’s great that Brian, Cole & other farmers are keeping the Co-op going for the future of y’all’s community. Great drone footage as always & love to hear Brian with the camera, the man has lots of knowledge.
Hay Festus, when I was a young-in, I worked on a dairy farm. During hay season, they would bale the hay and we would follow the bailer and stack them in threes in the field. After a few dry days we would go out and pick them up on a trailer. Then on to an elevator to take them up in the hay barn. To see you fellers bail hay like this is pure joy, its amazing.
Brian I would not be worried about you and Cole are good people.It is very obvious this means a lot to you I will pray for this business to flourish and grow all beyond your dreams.
Impressive video! Best of luck on the Co-op. Channels like yours are a great way to help the huge disconnect where food comes from. I encourage all my culinary students to watch. It would be great hear more about cattle sent for sale. Be well.
That is so kind of you! But also it is a wonderful way for you to get your students an idea of the source of the products they use to prepare those excellent meals!
I think that bale gathering system should be staying around. You guys would miss it terribly if you let it go back. Cole, will be amazing 10 years from now to have side by side drone footage of today's equipment and whatever tomorrow's equipment will look and work like. The drone footage of your dad and uncle will be priceless as you get older. Treasure and preserve it.
You need to have everyone send in a video of “ how do you use your slapped” and make a video to show us all. I think there would be some unique and funny videos.
It's always good to have a good day in the field making hay. My Dad always said when making hay Better than eating snowballs. Wishing you the best on the farm store and yes I'll be back
So glad you all are going to be OK. One less worry off my mind for sure. Now I can divide that worry up amongst the other folks I watch on YT who haven’t had rain. Isn’t that how it works? Anyway, prayers going up for all of you and for the success of the new co-op. Your investment will help the rural community for miles around. I love the idea that you farmers took the bull by the horns and started the store. Notice that? Bull by the horns! I crack myself up! Thanks for sharing hay baling. I only wish I was there to smell the beautiful grass.
Still praying for rain. We are back to 100+ degrees with extreme heat warnings. Also praying that the store takes off and maintains a good solid clientele. God Bless Y'all 🙏🙏
Brian you are absolutely adorable and I mean that in the kindest most innocent way! I’d be thrilled to have you as a brother! I’m one of those strange women who was always attracted to men that could make me laugh and smile. That wasn’t just a perk it was always mandatory. Right now my precious husband is not making me laugh at all. We have a 65 yr old Red Oak in the backyard that was starting to shade out our big pines and killed out the grass due to no sun under the canopy. Before he retired last October if there was a big yard project I was concerned about him doing I’d wait till his out of town days and get estimates, pick one and schedule the job when he was gone on a day trip. He might come home to find it done and get his chest all bowed out but his safety is my concern and he has back issues. Since retirement I can’t be sneaky like usual. He wanted those big branches cut to get some shade grass down. I had this sick feeling in my stomach but he swore he’d only cut what the pole saw could reach. A small branch landed across our cable line so Mr know it all tried to hit it with the saw to knock it down. He got it and the cable too!! He turned to step down the ladder, lost his balance and bam! Down he went on his right side and hip. I heard something and went to check. He’s on the ground screaming in pain. He never yells much less screams in pain. Got our nephew who’s an anesthesiologist to check for me if there were any beds open anywhere. He just happened to be in surgery with a dear dear friend who’s an orthopedic surgeon, one of the best and he sent our nephew to help me get hubby in car and then flew ahead to get paperwork started. To make a too long story a little shorter he broke several ribs in right mid back AND broke the greater trochanter completely off. Leg is hanging on by muscle, tendons and ligaments! Hubby said that didn’t sound good! No joke. Got him to ER at 7pm last night, stayed all night with him due to having problems getting meds dialed it. Came to get a shower today and check on puppy dogs. Age 8 and 11. He came out of surgery tonight after 9pm and our Dr got a sitter to stay with him. We’ll buy breakfast and lunch for her tomorrow in addition to her salary for the next 3 days. Got him crackers and a Coke and he was awake before I left. I’ve already told him I’m planning to get him good when he’s well !!! He’s not able to get his Type A personality to to calm down. He told me this may have been his decision making factor this time! So sorry, I didn’t know I obviously really needed to vent to a kind ear and you guys were my refuge in the storm! ~Much love to all the Sonnes from West Texas!!! Keep us in your prayers please! 🙏🏻 Thank you!
Miss Cricket... Sorry to hear this horrible news. He will have a long road to recovery. I am similar. When I get something in my head it sticks! You both have been through so much agony and dispair over this happening and we will pray for a speedy and full recovery.
It's been nice watching you Brian, Hospital is nice place for a couple of months . Why I'm saying this because I bet your good wife is a champ in her weight class. So know Im thinking of you in the best way.
Farmers serving farmers what a concept. The idea of keeping the co OP open for the community is great . I'm sure it will thrive and the community will be very pleased. Keep up the good work !
Sonne Farms, I love watching y’all, in today’s world with all the negativity going on, it’s nice to see a father & son, and uncle making a honest living. Keep it up, you give a whole lot of us hope for our future. And that’s all I have to say about that!
I can relate and appreciate what you're doing with the store. My Great Grandfather opened the Tronnes Hotel in Neilsville, MN back in the early 1900's. Then my Grandfather and Grandmother operated it until the 50's I believe when they built a building adjacent to the hotel and opened the Tronnes Cafe. My father tells me his dad told him to join the military or he'd be stuck working there his whole life so the Cafe ultimately closed. The building is still there and had been owned and operated by several people since as the local tavern. I was fortunate enough to visit it a few years ago with my father and brother and stand proudly where my Grandfather did the day he opened his Cafe. It was a great day for us. I wish you great success with the store as I understand how important they are for small towns. Unrelated but interesting video my father shared with me today about 5 acres of a farmers field that sunk. They called in a slump.. Ever have such an event happen near you or even heard if this natural phenomenon in this video ( th-cam.com/video/d-woq4D_P4g/w-d-xo.html ) ?
Before y’all know it, the store across that shut the town staple down will be packing bags and on the road. You guys deserve it as do all the other owners and farmers in the area. Small businesses, definitely in small towns, are what’s needed and should be there not these large corporations. Best of luck to you all!
If it hadn’t been for me alternating between spending summers on a mahoosive trawler fishing and the following year on my uncles farm I wouldn’t have had the same appreciation for just how much it takes for getting either fish to the plate or beef/ lamb or pork and watching your and other videos remixes of hard work from the 60s to the 70s so thank you for reminding me. 👍
Really missing my annual trip through South Dakota. Hopefully COVID will be a thing of the past by next summer and we can travel to northern Saskatchewan to see friends and participate in an other wild rice harvest and catch a few walleyes.
I think it's a great thing that you're doing with your new venture.!🥰! I really hope that all your farmer viewers, wherever they are in the country, start to use your services however big or small their order may be.!🤞! If you'll ship me 100x 2"x8 woodscrews to the UK, I'll have 2 box's.!🤔😂! Good luck.🤞🥰🤞 LOVE THE VIDS.🥰🥰... KEEP'EM COMING.🤞🥰... RICH(UK).🥰🥰🥰.!.!.!.
Your father and son relationship is great keep up the great videos. Your attitude is eye opening even with hard times with little rain you have a great attitude.
Keeping your community alive is admirable, Brian. Hard to see. Here in WI the farms seem constantly at risk of being gobbled up by the Chi-waukee metro corridor. A shame to cover good land in concrete and asphalt.
There used to be small farms started less than 2 miles from me. Now it's all housing developments, stores and traffic. No more u-pick for canning anywhere near. It sucks!
I know how you feel. My entire home town and our old farm are now just greater Austin suburbs full of transplants and cookie cutter housing projects. The entire I35 corridor has pretty much filled in from Austin to San Antone. It is sad to see that world just disappear. Now it's the same housing developments, with the same chain restaurants, and the same generic shopping centers you find anywhere in the USA. They call that "progress".
I have a feeling John Deere is going to have a hard time getting the +2 accumulator back. That was an awesome view of the hayfield from the drone. Stay safe and best of luck with the new farmers Coop store!
I hope everyone is very supportive of you keeping the store open in town. Just a suggestion for the store have some type of farmers market with sweetcorn and vegetables out of the gardens. Brian I love your humor but you might get kicked out of the house for what you said about your wife lol. Your right about the Olympics as it isn't like it used to be, but they have some new events that are interesting to watch. They have target shooting in high school now. I only live 2 hours from you sure would like to meet you sometime. Only problem I have is that I have a plate and 7 screws in my ankle and they think I have loose screws and broken fragments in my ankle according to the CT scan Monday in Sioux falls SD. Love your videos guys keep them coming, I'm totally JD green man !
..."it's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats, it's spurs and latigo"....OMG...I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Southeast Montana native here...nothing more beautiful than those golden rolling plains...um, and cowboys..lol
Brian when you talk about what you want for your business and town you can see how committed you are to success. I can see it’s more than successful business it is a successful community. Nice to few of you left!
you and Mr. B are so funny and crazy. Love watching you 2 guys. Really hope the store takes off and make y'all some good money. Shipping WORLD WIDE would be really nice. Thank you very much for the laughts and for being so really good people.
That was a great video Cole. Not a bad idea giving your dad the camera once in a while....he told a great story from the heart about the store venture and how he and his friends didn't want that piece of the community to disappear. I hope because of your channel that business does come from everywhere just to buy from people with backbone and grit that will sell at an honest price to farmers because they are farmers. I can't wait to see where it goes..... good luck to you Brian.
Would love to hear more about the supplies you have. We are a farm in Florida and would love to help out a small community run store if we can make it work.
Emily. Brother trying to revitalise small towns in Australia. Note 'trying'. This to work, requires a 'true' community spirit. The store owner has to 'know' that the stock will be bought, and the customers know they can get what they want. Loss will destroy it, so, all food shopping to be done there.
@@tylermallory2504 we support small businesses wherever we can. reality is that all of our grains come from the midwest, and if those farmers, like Sonne farms, don't continue to exist, we are all in trouble.
I hope that your new venture goes well . It is good to see people picking up the peices and just getting on with it . These big outfits that buy up places and then rape the place and then close down because there is no money in it are awful . It's really rewarding to see guys getting together or on there own out there doing it . As you say these places are so much more than a store , they are the community.
Hi Cole,I love watching your channel. I have a hint that you might want to use when putting concrete in post holes. Doe like you did except put about 25% concrete in the bottom and 75% at the top. I think you can see why this will stop the poles from rocking. 😎🇺🇸
I wish you all the best in this, I was really sad when you said it was closed. It sounds like the local farmers want it also! I am praying for success!🧡
Makes me wanna go to the feed store so I can smell some alfalfa!! Best smell ever…I miss it. Praying for the store. So sad all the small independents are disappearing
I know rhe store will do great because of how great y'all are and how you treat people I pray one day i could go on vacation an come in and have a drink with you sonne frames !!!
Brian reckons his wife would win an Olympic Gold for shopping? Well this Brian's wife would be tough competition! All the best with your co op business guys
....."and you know why...because nothings runs like a deere"...that made my day!And you are 100% right of course!
If there was a Olympic event for storytelling Brian would be gold medalist,and that’s all I’ve got to say about that
Hey this is awesome thanks!
@@briansonne814 he is right though . Gold is msybe one to high but medalist is ok too. Big swede from larsonfarms is a good contender too .

Congratulation Brian helping keep the store operating for the community. Need more people like you and Cole. Y'all work so good together.
They do don't they ❤

Wouldn’t he be the younger brother Willie? (Baled ya out there Cole!) 😂😂😂

If you want the store to takeoff then more people need to move to the country where they live and give them business. Not a bad lifestyle but can be very challenging.

He just happened to be in surgery with a dear dear friend who’s an orthopedic surgeon, one of the best and he sent our nephew to help me get hubby in car and then flew ahead to get paperwork started. To make a too long story a little shorter he broke several ribs in right mid back AND broke the greater trochanter completely off. Leg is hanging on by muscle, tendons and ligaments! Hubby said that didn’t sound good! No joke. Got him to ER at 7pm last night, stayed all night with him due to having problems getting meds dialed it. Came to get a shower today and check on puppy dogs. Age 8 and 11. He came out of surgery tonight after 9pm and our Dr got a sitter to stay with him. We’ll buy breakfast and lunch for her tomorrow in addition to her salary for the next 3 days. Got him crackers and a Coke and he was awake before I left. I’ve already told him I’m planning to get him good when he’s well !!! He’s not able to get his Type A personality to to calm down. He told me this may have been his decision making factor this time! So sorry, I didn’t know I obviously really needed to vent to a kind ear and you guys were my refuge in the storm!
~Much love to all the Sonnes from West Texas!!! Keep us in your prayers please! 🙏🏻 Thank you!
Miss Cricket... Sorry to hear this horrible news. He will have a long road to recovery. I am similar. When I get something in my head it sticks! You both have been through so much agony and dispair over this happening and we will pray for a speedy and full recovery.
It's been nice watching you Brian, Hospital is nice place for a couple of months . Why I'm saying this because I bet your good wife is a champ in her weight class. So know Im thinking of you in the best way.
Farmers serving farmers what a concept. The idea of keeping the co OP open for the community is great . I'm sure it will thrive and the community will be very pleased. Keep up the good work !
Man that bale holding feature is worth it's weight in gold!
Sonne Farms, I love watching y’all, in today’s world with all the negativity going on, it’s nice to see a father & son, and uncle making a honest living. Keep it up, you give a whole lot of us hope for our future. And that’s all I have to say about that!
👍💯🙂
Love watching father and son joking around as they work. Reminds me of time spent with my dad
I can relate and appreciate what you're doing with the store. My Great Grandfather opened the Tronnes Hotel in Neilsville, MN back in the early 1900's. Then my Grandfather and Grandmother operated it until the 50's I believe when they built a building adjacent to the hotel and opened the Tronnes Cafe. My father tells me his dad told him to join the military or he'd be stuck working there his whole life so the Cafe ultimately closed. The building is still there and had been owned and operated by several people since as the local tavern. I was fortunate enough to visit it a few years ago with my father and brother and stand proudly where my Grandfather did the day he opened his Cafe. It was a great day for us.
I wish you great success with the store as I understand how important they are for small towns.
Unrelated but interesting video my father shared with me today about 5 acres of a farmers field that sunk. They called in a slump.. Ever have such an event happen near you or even heard if this natural phenomenon in this video ( th-cam.com/video/d-woq4D_P4g/w-d-xo.html ) ?
Before y’all know it, the store across that shut the town staple down will be packing bags and on the road. You guys deserve it as do all the other owners and farmers in the area. Small businesses, definitely in small towns, are what’s needed and should be there not these large corporations. Best of luck to you all!
hello seth
how are you doing
If it hadn’t been for me alternating between spending summers on a mahoosive trawler fishing and the following year on my uncles farm I wouldn’t have had the same appreciation for just how much it takes for getting either fish to the plate or beef/ lamb or pork and watching your and other videos remixes of hard work from the 60s to the 70s so thank you for reminding me. 👍
helllo john
hw are you doing

I think the coop store will do good. It's nice to see something positive not only for yourselves, but the entire community. 😊 👍 🤞
I hope so too!
I like Cole, but man Brian is great behind the camera. He can explain the most complex stuff to us morons and that’s really appreciated.
Really missing my annual trip through South Dakota. Hopefully COVID will be a thing of the past by next summer and we can travel to northern Saskatchewan to see friends and participate in an other wild rice harvest and catch a few walleyes.
Yes me to😷😷😭😭
I think it's a great thing that you're doing with your new venture.!🥰!
I really hope that all your farmer viewers, wherever they are in the country, start to use your services however big or small their order may be.!🤞!
If you'll ship me 100x 2"x8 woodscrews to the UK, I'll have 2 box's.!🤔😂!
Good luck.🤞🥰🤞
LOVE THE VIDS.🥰🥰...
KEEP'EM COMING.🤞🥰...
RICH(UK).🥰🥰🥰.!.!.!.
Great waterboy impression Cole. Lol.
And how sweet & gentle your pup was in taking that bacon. Wow! Love your vids, keep em' comin!!! 💚💛💚🐕🥓🐃🚜
The waterboy reference had tears in my eyes,laughing so hard.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m gonna pray for the successful store. I have got a good feeling in my stomach. God bless and keep it rolling.
Good picture father and son. You guys are lucky to have each other. My dad died when I was 6 and I really miss that father and son relationship.
Your father and son relationship is great keep up the great videos. Your attitude is eye opening even with hard times with little rain you have a great attitude.
The accumulator actually helped your yield a little, that's really interesting. Glad to hear you're good on feed despite the drought, big relief.
That baler is so sweet! Never gets old watching it do its thing, especially the drone footage! 😃
Love your little town feels....... Keep it going. And if a go fund is needed I believe we all would love to help keep it open
Brain, that's the way. I'm sure your community appreciates your effect.
Cole, here maybe a fun video to do farm olympics. Your dad was talking about the Olympics and it got me to thinking.
Who can drop the bales straighter. ;)
Hi Dad you are doing great .Thank you and Cole for sharing everything.God bless you.
Keeping your community alive is admirable, Brian. Hard to see. Here in WI the farms seem constantly at risk of being gobbled up by the Chi-waukee metro corridor. A shame to cover good land in concrete and asphalt.
There used to be small farms started less than 2 miles from me. Now it's all housing developments, stores and traffic. No more u-pick for canning anywhere near. It sucks!
I know how you feel. My entire home town and our old farm are now just greater Austin suburbs full of transplants and cookie cutter housing projects. The entire I35 corridor has pretty much filled in from Austin to San Antone. It is sad to see that world just disappear. Now it's the same housing developments, with the same chain restaurants, and the same generic shopping centers you find anywhere in the USA. They call that "progress".
I have a feeling John Deere is going to have a hard time getting the +2 accumulator back. That was an awesome view of the hayfield from the drone. Stay safe and best of luck with the new farmers Coop store!
God has truly blessed your family. Never take anything for granted.
I hope everyone is very supportive of you keeping the store open in town. Just a suggestion for the store have some type of farmers market with sweetcorn and vegetables out of the gardens. Brian I love your humor but you might get kicked out of the house for what you said about your wife lol. Your right about the Olympics as it isn't like it used to be, but they have some new events that are interesting to watch. They have target shooting in high school now. I only live 2 hours from you sure would like to meet you sometime. Only problem I have is that I have a plate and 7 screws in my ankle and they think I have loose screws and broken fragments in my ankle according to the CT scan Monday in Sioux falls SD. Love your videos guys keep them coming, I'm totally JD green man !
Sonne farms shows videos about their cattles and I like it, and then they showed me their BALER and like that too........stay safe guys
Good luck with your Farm Store. Small business is the back bone of America.
..."it's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats, it's spurs and latigo"....OMG...I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Southeast Montana native here...nothing more beautiful than those golden rolling plains...um, and cowboys..lol
Brian when you talk about what you want for your business and town you can see how committed you are to success. I can see it’s more than successful business it is a successful community. Nice to few of you left!
Thankyou Michael!
you and Mr. B are so funny and crazy. Love watching you 2 guys. Really hope the store takes off and make y'all some good money. Shipping WORLD WIDE would be really nice. Thank you very much for the laughts and for being so really good people.
Thanks again Steve!
That was a great video Cole. Not a bad idea giving your dad the camera once in a while....he told a great story from the heart about the store venture and how he and his friends didn't want that piece of the community to disappear. I hope because of your channel that business does come from everywhere just to buy from people with backbone and grit that will sell at an honest price to farmers because they are farmers. I can't wait to see where it goes..... good luck to you Brian.
Agree, there's nothing wrong with a green tractor, as long as the rims are red. But the black beauty paint scheme is my favorit though xD
Would love to hear more about the supplies you have. We are a farm in Florida and would love to help out a small community run store if we can make it work.
And you have no co-op or small mom and pop local businesses to help out??
Emily. Brother trying to revitalise small towns in Australia. Note 'trying'. This to work, requires a 'true' community spirit. The store owner has to 'know' that the stock will be bought, and the customers know they can get what they want. Loss will destroy it, so, all food shopping to be done there.
@@tylermallory2504 we support small businesses wherever we can. reality is that all of our grains come from the midwest, and if those farmers, like Sonne farms, don't continue to exist, we are all in trouble.
I hope that your new venture goes well . It is good to see people picking up the peices and just getting on with it . These big outfits that buy up places and then rape the place and then close down because there is no money in it are awful . It's really rewarding to see guys getting together or on there own out there doing it . As you say these places are so much more than a store , they are the community.
Hi Cole,I love watching your channel. I have a hint that you might want to use when putting concrete in post holes.
Doe like you did except put about 25% concrete in the bottom and 75% at the top. I think you can see why this will stop the poles from rocking. 😎🇺🇸
I’m just a old trucker but I do enjoy your videos and wish you guys nothing but luck with the store.👍🏻🙏🙏
Thanks Jeff!
You two clowns are a hoot. Thanks Sonne Farms
Cole all you need now is a bale mover like the Sasdutch Kid and you want even have to get out of the tractor. Love your videos
Just got back from visiting friends in Rapid City. Wish I would have had time to ask to come visit. Love watching you guys!!!
I wish you all the best in this, I was really sad when you said it was closed. It sounds like the local farmers want it also! I am praying for success!🧡
Loved the drone shots!!! Thanks for that. Hope you get the rain you need.
Makes me wanna go to the feed store so I can smell some alfalfa!! Best smell ever…I miss it. Praying for the store. So sad all the small independents are disappearing
It’s cool to see all those bales in a row and nice drone shots cole keep up the good work
Hello ya My husband and I remember the dream team. Way to go. Love you videos. Have a blessed week.
I know rhe store will do great because of how great y'all are and how you treat people I pray one day i could go on vacation an come in and have a drink with you sonne frames !!!
...hay there,...lol.. have a good one. nice work, stay safe..
Brian reckons his wife would win an Olympic Gold for shopping? Well this Brian's wife would be tough competition! All the best with your co op business guys
All those soldiers in a row in the hay field, pretty neat drone work. Hope the store works out beyond your hopes.
you have more of a connection to ppl in small town stores they are humble and great ppl to talk to not like the chain stores
That’s because we’ve been humbled numerous times. Yes country boy I am old one still
I'm from a small town back East and miss it so much ppl are more kind and respectful
