I build my 30X72 in 1995, tarp was 12 year guaranteed and lasted 20 years. I use it for calving in February up here in Manitoba Canada when it is cold out and it's always way warmer inside. I put in flap doors on both ends to let the condensation out in the mornings and it works awesome.
Business is looking good. Always good to have an alternate income. As for the apple trees, they say “The best time to plant a tree is last year”, but you have to start some where. I planted a dozen fruit trees a year ago here in SW Oklahoma and at 70 years old I expect to see them producing in 3-5 years.
Wish you guys were closer to us. My wife loves this stuff too And I'm a people person like you. Such a great business you and Molly are creating. Good luck this season. What a shame you had that hail storm. Hoop building is nice 👍
Hi guys. Just watched a couple of YT channels previewing what's new at the farm progress show. Elmer's has a new grain cart that holds 3000 bushels and Massey is debuting the new S9425.
Possible overkill in construction? I think your build is smart. I've never heard anyone regret building something too strong or too safe. Great video. Bought a farm with a hoop barn, I put 6" of dirt against the base and dug a trench for drainage to get as much water away from my posts as possible (it also kept water from draining through my barn). (I know, everybody's an expert). Take care.
The intro was the best yet, the outro into the video is getting smoother! I like the overview drone shots during the video. I live in Indiana so stopping by will be hard. But this is awesome what you are doing!
Really interesting. Glad to see you found a company that has everything American made. Loved the overhead video of the patch, be be neet to have a overhead picture framed of the different patterns you make of the maze.
Filling those holes with concrete will lead to the posts rotting off sooner. Concrete is porous and allows water in, correct way is to pour a concrete footing and backfill with gravel or other material and compact. If you wanted to do concrete should have filled entire hole and gone with the wet set brackets.
Yeah, considering the hoops and fabric have a 20 year warranty. building a foundation that does not rot away quicker would kinda make sense. All the rain from t he roof will come down right where the posts are standing, so they will see quite a bit of water when it rains. The pressure treated beams hold up well for some time, but they are still wood. I would probably have bought some square reinforcment cages and attached a beam shoe to it, so the wood could stand on that shoe and stay a few inches above the ground level.
Been thinking about putting up a hoop for round bale storage. Debating on a hoop or just putting up a pole shed for not much more than the hoops I have priced. Tried looking up that company and couldn’t find a website for them to tell me anything. Do you know if they have one or a link to it?
GOOD JOB 👍 MAYBE NEXT TIME STRETCH ROOF FROM OPPOSITE SIDE SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO 🌽 RUN OVER 15 ACRES IF CORN !!! 😆 🤣 Don't Blame the Wind !!! Okay i believe you I KNOW HURTS YOU MORE THAN ME SACRIFICE THE CORN 🌽

Molly and Ben. Keep doing what you doing. You're becoming Pillars of your Community.
Thank you! We will keep doing our best!
The man, the myth, the legend, the cool kid, Colt!
That’s a mouthful
You guys have things looking pretty nice! The building will be a huge hit for you.
The Pumpkin Patch is looking great! Very cool intro on this video! I always enjoy your videos.
It looks like things are going to turn out really nice this year

What fruit trees did you plant?
@@iowANFarmer Apple, peach, plum, pear, and blue berry bush

Hoop building is nice 👍
CORN PIT ABSOLUTELY GREAT IDEA 👍. they will love it. Thanks much!!
You bet!
Wow!! Great video. Really cool watching you stretch the cover over the top.
That’s something you definitely don’t see every day huh!
Amazing intro!!!!!!
Thanks! I’ve been working hard on them!

We will have a video out soon!
The roof will make a great billboard
We’ve been thinking the same thing!

I think that’s something really smart to do and I might do something similar.
I just found your channel. Awesome video ❤❤❤

Thank you. I really like drone footage of the patch. There is something else to look at every turn.
Good to see you again cowboy 🤠
He’s Back! For one video anyways!
Really interesting. Glad to see you found a company that has everything American made. Loved the overhead video of the patch, be be neet to have a overhead picture framed of the different patterns you make of the maze.
I have the photos, but not framed yet. I think we need to do sweaters of that years maze design.
I’ll probably start framing the mazes year 3
I’ve had one for 25 years now. Lots of wind storms, hail. Never had an issue with it.
What part of the world are you from?
Nice to see Cole back
Good to have him back for a video.
❤ from Norway
Norway in the house!
cool
Very Very nice .... But how will it stand up to strong winds ?? Sure can see many uses for these type structures.
It’s supposed to hold up great!

That super smart buddy thanks for information definitely will keep that in mind in future
So who's getting up there to paint the pumpkin patch name on the tarp?
We’ve been thinking about a way to do that. Haven’t come up with one yet!
What was the cost for hoop system, wood, steel and cement if you don't mind.
I'll say it again, NICE BARN !!
I’ll end up close to 13k on this one. Fabric and hoops were the most affordable part.
Why no angle, bracing or cables on the hoop?
No needed on this model: from what I understand they are on the bigger ones!

His phone number is in the description! Give Kody a call! +1 (641) 218-1770
Will do. Just figured being from Michigan he probably wouldn’t want bothered by me lol. Thanks
Guess I would have pulled it over the other direction so you didn't knock down all the corn.
That would have been ideal but the wind was in the direction that this worked best
GOOD JOB 👍 MAYBE NEXT TIME STRETCH ROOF FROM OPPOSITE SIDE SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO 🌽 RUN OVER 15 ACRES IF CORN !!!
😆 🤣 Don't Blame the Wind !!! Okay i believe you I KNOW HURTS YOU MORE THAN ME SACRIFICE THE CORN 🌽
Current market I ran over $0.32 of corn!
