Cole. Hands down the best farming videographer in the you tube game period .
Your camera angles and machinery footage is excellent . Always innovating and informing .
Well done .
I just commented
Cole, the extra time in camera placements and drone shots make your videos some of the best.
I had a team of horses that had auto steer one time. Worked really well when they were headed for the barn. Good job on the welding, Cole. I have a little buzz box I use occasionally and my welds look like I used bubble gum.
hello garth
how are you doing
Just wondering if anybody else is getting replies from people like this smith person?
I had a saddle horse like your team! Bad thing about him though his brakes didn't work until he was inside the barn. You had the watch to see what side of the barn Doar he was going to favor so you could lean off to the side in the other Direction. Many a time I thought, just bail off. I heard a quart beer bottle full warm water between the ears would take care of that breaking problem. Never got the opportunity to try it.
Drone shots were awesome and well done.
Bloat is hard on cattle, coming from a 4-h cattle farm we cured bloat by taking the bottom jaw rope from a halter and putting in their mouth like a bit for a horse. It causes the cattle to chew making them burp to relieve the bloating!!!
I could watch livecams of Sonne Farms for hours
Cole certainly has cinematography down doesn't he?!
OnlyFarms
I definitely would like to know where he learned to do it.
Same here
Great video Cole and Brian
hello kevin
how are you doing
Thanks for using "Regardless in the proper syntax.
hello
how are you doing
from the way-top to the way-bottom, way-entertaining with your clever way-colorful terminology and innuendo. I am looking forward to the update on Jeff's wayward calf. Great video as always!
Found it 2 counties over, had sucked 2 herds of cows dry getting there. Too costly to bring back. Shot it and buried. Jeff cried but got and IRS writeoff
Sheesh! How big was he!? That's a lot of milk!

My favorite part about Monday, a new Sonne Farms video! Awesome job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Poor Jeff. So everybody else sells their mean cows, too...
On my way back to Florida from Wyoming on my motorcycle I passed through Mount Vernon this morning at 10 a.m.....
I pulled up to the stop sign look down at my GPS and looked up and Uncle Jeff waved at me .
I stopped in the gas station just a second then headed west and passed him as I headed for Mitchell gave him a wave !!!!
10:11 The famous row of shame ;) Great to see you are getting a decent 3rd cut.
Thank you Sonne Farms for being my True Reality TV. Keep up the good work.
Sorry to hear about Jeffs cow. Hope he finds it soon. Your videos are just awesome. I really look forward to you posting them. It brighten my day for sure. Thank you Mr. B and Cole
hello steve
how are you doing
Fun fact Sakrete originated in Cincinnati Ohio.... As always great video
Good video Cole and Brian 👍🇺🇸
You are correct, those curved things that deflect the cuttings are called "turning vanes" have a nice day!
Another great Sunny Frames video
Hi Cole enjoyed the video have a day love from TEXAS
We cut hay for decades with open station tractors and a 7' cycle bar mower. Sweat clover and red clover to boot in late June early July in southern Indiana heat and humidity.
hello john
how are you doing
The drone footage make it look so beautiful and peaceful!! After watching the end and thinking about it more I realize, even if we never see her, that your Mom must have an amazing sense of humor to live with you and Brian! I can’t image what it’s like with all of you there! I know she adores it!!
She was in one video telling us about her garden. She’s a tiny, pretty lady.
Thanks Cole you and Dad make such great movies and it is a pleasure to watch what you do, keep them coming I love watching.
hello wayne
how are you doing
Got er done. That little hammer made me laugh.
Pocket Hammer LOL
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🌞 Farms!!!!!
Great video Cole. You still explain what's going on it's great. We are having a Sonnefest this weekend. My special one decided to walk off a ladder into thin air, so working mostly on my own sons help when they can. So have missed a lot or just seen a little bit of videos. I caught the end of one with your own special one congratulations. She is a beautiful lady, you suit each other well. All the best to you both. God Bless you and Tiffany. Elaine.👍👍👍👫
Holy buckets of ball bearings that was a ditch you hit!!! Another great video thanks for all you guys do to keep great Angus beef in the stores!!! Hard ass work for sure Your Dad, Uncle and you are some hard working fellas!
Cutting hay fields.. my favorite smell of the year.
young clint eastwood with no auto stear and jeff no steer
Great show today !
Thanks for the ride along !
Hi Cole and Dad Brian thank you for sharing everything.God bless you all
Love to watch you guys. Glad your knee id doing good.
hello robbie
how are you doing
Gotta love all the equipment you guys have on hand!!!
Keep up with the videos
I always enjoy watching the daily tasks associated with farming and ranching in South Dakota. As we all appreciate if we are able to have a good meal thank a farmer and rancher. God Bless you and your family!!. Keep up the great work.
Great Video ! So glad you got your Rain!
hello billy
how are youu doing
First time I saw a self propelled discbine I wanted one. Never happened, so nice riding in the cab with you
We lost a Derby contender Angus heifer in 1996. We were unloading semi trailers and she went right up on the back of the one in front of her and over the chute fence and ran away to the east. 2 of the guys went after her on 4 wheelers in a reasonable time. But nobody ever saw her again from our crew. It's really a rural area and we know everyone for miles around. Not sure where she got off to.
Whew! that was close! 11:37 I was pointing at the screen and jerked my hand back in time to save my fingers!
I friggen LOVE all your drone shots, from all this angles n u always have the BEST music to it! Thank you SO much for all your hard work!
Glad you like them!
Very enjoyable vid as always with Sonne… drone footage👌👍
Always love the drone videos
My grandfather was a young teenager on my great grandfather's farm in the imperial valley of extreme southern California. Holtville was the name of the place and the year was around 1910. Not only was there no auto steer, there were no tractors yet, all work was by hand or horse drawn. There was no electricity, no air conditioning, no electric fans, no refrigerators. In the summertime, the daytime Temps would reach over 120f and had to mow and rake at night to keep from killing the horses. The problem at night was mosquitoes. They would take several teams of horses to the field where one team would work while the others rested in a circle of smoldering fires to keep the mosquitoes off of them. My grandfather told stories of running his hand under the belly of the horses that were hitched up and working, and his hand would be dripping with the horses blood from all of the mosquito bites.
I guess what I am saying is....
Suck it up buttercup. Lol.
The good old days weren't so good and no one misses them. They shortened a man's life and even the Amish like their tractors.
Just because there used to be more problems doesn't mean the problems of today aren't real.
I've worked with concrete for a few years. You're going to learn something today. Should get a wheelbarrow, and don't use ready mix. Use portland, stone, and sand. Ratio 1 cement, 3 sand, 4 stone. Some like 1:4:4, but I always preferred the 1:3:4. If you wonder if it will last, you'll have to pull the posts with a tractor, or use a jackhammer. The cement you poured, bottom, with gravel fill, and a top layer, that will crack, and break away within a couple of years. Water will get down into the gravel layer, and if it freezes in your area of the world, it won't be long before that void of gravel becomes a nice place for water to push up against that cap of cement.
Yall must have some pretty inferior ready mix in your area if it just cracks in a few years and doesn't even work for fence posts
@@sunstruckfarms4489 Perhaps I should have clarified that ready-mix is expensive, and buying a pickup worth of sand and stone is just better priced. As to the cracking, snow and ice are a bugger to ready mix, and regular. The point is that the method of a gap with a stone filler is the problem. Water gets in, freezes, expands, and pops, or breaks that cap.
Anybody else use lots more water before pouring the first bag in?
Soaking the hole does make the concrete set better?
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq if I'm setting posts I just pour it in dry
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Back in the day , when I helped my uncle on the dairy farm. We used to add baking soda in the feed ration to help reduce bloat.
interesting
Good job with the straight winrows COLE! Didn’t even need the GPS! Loved the different camera spots, you’re the best with drone shots. Thanks COLE !
Nicely done. I can tell you're gaining some confidence on that knee. That's great to see. Strong day in the bag. Best to you guys. Hopefully Jeff can get his maverick gathered up in one piece.
Great video as always Cole. I always look forward to new videos. I think your going to be happy with you concert layout. Should stay nice and strong for a long time. 👍
Give me call next time the auto steer is out. Never had it so I don’t know what I am missing so I get my rows straight without it.
Still impressed by you young man!!
hello james
how are you doing
Great video Cole. Really like watching your work. Peace till next time.
So nice how you explain everything to us and yea nice drone footage
Cole, looks like you knee has made progress. Good for you! Thanks always for the video.
Hello there!! Farm is looking good 😍. I love the way you use the tricks to help you. Right on!! Hi too your Dad✌️✌️
I'm glad those crazy birds didn't take out your drone.
They don't take out each other, a drone is a lot bigger, they were likely Purple Martins and Swallows after bugs as the field is cut.
Well done Cole keep up the good work your dad must be proud with you
You are one hard working rancher Cody.
As a city slicker, I really enjoy your videos. I also really like the way that you take time to explain why you do the stuff you do. Good luck with the co-op. Can't wait to see how the corn comes out.
I appreciate that!
Love watching fields being cut!! The swallows were having a good ole' time catching the bugs you were kicking up. I bet the windshield needed a good cleaning after that mowing. LOL!!
Thinking that baby cow needs to be named Forest!! I get points for that one!! LMAO!! Hope it found it's way home safely.
Oh a crafty hint to fix your steering wheel issue, pool noodle. Pick up one at 99 Cent Store or Dollar Tree (or equivalent in your area), slice it down the length (not in half, just through the center hole to the edge). Slide it around your steering until it completely covers it, then cut. To secure, zip ties. Careful though, the cut edges of those can be sharp. Suggest a bit of duck tape over them.
In the words of your dad ... That's all I have to say about that!! LMAO!!
Have a great week!! Can't wait to watch your next adventure on the farm!
Cheers!
I think the swallows were a little miffed at the Drone invading their space? Coulson see if John Deere has the steering wheel with the same diameter as that hammer he was wielding at the end. Seems that hammer had the perfect girth to fit his hand!
Another great video! I love your channel and content!
Awesome video. I always enjoy the videos.
Great video from a fellow South Dakotan, keep up the great work!!! Love the farm life
Thanks 👍
I am so enjoying these videos. I am still in awe of the equipment. But more so of Cole's skills in the many different tasks necessary on the farm. Of all the farm videos I've watched, this is the best and except for Cross Timber Bison, the only one I watch.
....nice one, looks great, stay safe and have a good week..
The drone footage was awesome!!!👍
hello mike
how are you doing
Beautiful machine!
All if our steering wheels had steering knows. That was a life saver for holding it straight all day long. Love the vids. Good work my friend.
I think you meant steering knobs?
Always a great clip!
hello steve
how are you doing
keep up the good work man good job good video
Nothing better than coming home to a Sonne Farm video. You guys make my bad day seem easy as pie. #Perspective
Hiya Boys , thanks for the great video🤗
That sweet sweet nectar........
Absolutely hilarious 🤣
hello mike
how are you doing
Daytona race is this Sunday night and I highly recommend watching it beings it's the last race of the regular season and it will be carnage! This is one of my top 3 favorite channels and your subs should be way higher.
Great video 👍
Gotta love that straight lines man😂👌🏻
Full send it!! You'll be good. God Bless y'all
You should be proud. You’re a farmer.
Fancy job there Cole.
At least you're up and running, the mitsubishi engine in my cub dropped a valve yesterday. Im in trouble, got 18 acres left to cut and bale to finish out 3rd. I guess it'll be time for a new tractor this winter...
Had the same issue with a past cars stealing wheel. Got a cheep cover from Wally world and that solved my hand cramping issues.
I ran the swather for my brother in his custom cutting business. Lucky enough to start with a brand new New Holland 909...one of the first hydrostatic drive machines.
Cab?
BWAH-HAH-HAH! It did have a good sunshade.
The steering was like a bicycle handlebar on a single upright.
Push forward to go forward, pull back to reverse. Twist the handlebar, just like a bicycle...an extremely "twitchy" bicycle.
In a rough field (aren't they all?) it was like driving a snake.
White knuckles?
Knowing a non-family member would be baling it...
Actually it wasn't much better knowing my brother would be baling it.
I've a great story of a first cut Timothy grass field along a beautiful creek...60 acres.
It was beautiful.
Some higjlights of the first round...that took six hours:
- reciprocating/opposing sickle bars (yes, 2 bars)...no sickle guard where bars overlapped
- cut a few yards...rocks, dead center
- sickle sections attached with rivets
- length of irrigation pipe, perpendicular to my travel (into the conditioner)
- rocks dead center
- fence post (w/barbed wire) forgotten after a repair
- rocks, nearly dead center
- grass along the creek tall to eye level on platform...so tall it entered conditioner before cut by sickle
- lay underneath and hack away with carpet knife to cut free the conditioner rollers (more like spools)
- having gone a couple of yards from second "hair cut," the reel loaded with less than pleased rattlesnakes
- a few more yards, time for another (MORE frantic) hair cut
- hair cut complete, hopped up quickly...sharpened corner of windrow fairing into my back, as if to remove a kidney. Sweatshirt as tourniquet. It didn't bleed much...a lie. Should have been stitched, but a great scar.
- rocks, dead center a few yards later
- about 50 yards further...
- a few feet from completing first round, rocks dead center...
I spun the swather 180°, grabbed my tools and in jumping to the ground (somewhat angrily)...drove my head into edge of sunshade/canopy. More startling than painful, though it did EFF-up my landing.
Hah, I thought I had been pissed-off, but then...tools, sickle sections, RIVETS scattered. 🔥🔥🔥
I grabbed the ball peen hammer, jumped to my feet and proceeded to beat the livin' sh*t out of the header's spreader bar.
With somewhat elevated voice I "described" my brother and the rancher...with less than complimentary terms. Yes, very disrespectful of mothers...
It was nearly 100°, and my enthusiasm for "sculpting" waned fairly quickly. As I leaned on the spreader bar, I evaluated my work...confident my brother would not appreciate my talent.
As a semi-calm filled my being, I heard a kind voice from behind me, "Would you like a glass of ice cold, fresh-squeezed lemonade?"
💩!
Tom was one of the most nicest, great Christian men I have ever known. The hammer to my forehead seemed appropriate, but I was kinda tired...
My (profuse) apologies were accepted...with a wry smile and understanding. He queried, "What do you think your brother's going to say about the header?"
That reality somewhat replaced my humiliation with a kind of "no ****s to give" realization. I shrugged my shoulders, and bit my tongue.
"Well, we'll soon find out."
What?
"He called while my wife made the lemonade, and I told him you were having a tough morning. I told him you might need some help, at least some cheering up. He said he would get here soon."
Hmmm...a sudden return of ****s to give.
So....stop whining about white knuckling with no auto-steer.
Think scythe only...gulp?!
Keep up the great work.
The family farm life is to be treasured...the actor portraying Zach and family, the Cornstars, the Welkers, the Larsons and the Big Swede, Fast Ag Tony and crew, the Brian Brown family. You are all a great blessing.
Grrr...the World Economic Forum GREAT RESET criminals must be crushed, punished for the chaos and destruction for which they're responsible. They're the driver of it ALL.
They seek to end livestock ag by 2030...all ag by 2075?
Synthesized food for "survivors" corralled in smart cities.
It's mind boggling they don't feel threatened...needing to hide their intentions.
Not politics...Good v. evil.
What to do?
DO NOT COMPLY!
Civil disobedience is not an option...it is DUTY.
Most important...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
In Christ
Well said my friend! God Speed!
I once met a brilliant biophysist who discovered that the natural height of alfalfa can be ten feet. We ramped up the water soluble CA, P, and K toward the levels he suggested and that year with irrigation we got belt buckle high first cutting.
Great job Cole
Every second of this video was GREAT !! Haying coming to an end😥😥 always smells so good!! They should make an air freshener for cars of that smell !! Jeff I hope somebody finds baby crazy red !! Thanks Cole awesome video 🙋♀️💗😊

Eat cheese curds and bounce up and down in the field for several hours and you won't pinch a loaf for days.
Watching the birds and supper can't hide now
Would love to work with you guys, but it would be a long commute from Tennessee lol 😂
Your drone filming as top notch Cole.
Glad the auto steer was fixed.
You think Jeff's cow will stick to the freeway or use the county roads headed out of town?....😆
A Cow Drive.......
Nice job, Darth Sonne!
Nice shot underneath
Nice looking hay swath Cole
Brain didn't have auto stear in his youth Cole sonne and everything was up hill both ways don't you know lol..

Years ago I used to draw blueprints for pole buildings for an engineering firm. Many of the footings for the poles were very similar to what you've done for your posts - concrete at the bottom, fill with compacted gravel, concrete at the top.
