Working all day, and staying upbeat to make a good video takes allot of effort. You are doing an excellent job. I hope your family appreciates the great job you are doing. I'm near the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Allot of rocks but only need 2 1/2 acres per pair. Keep Rolling!
Really nice video. I’m new to watching your updates, but appreciate you walking through everything. Glad to see you guys making the best of everything. Good luck getting the rest of the forages in.
I'm from northwest Iowa, we bought a new tractor near you, we thought we had it bad, when we crossed the river into south Dakota we realized how bad you had it out there, lots of prevent plant around here. We had a lot more planted then you guys, its wet out there, we only run about 600 acres, we are luckier then we thought
I really like seeing how your equipment works and your explanations for what the machines do. One question. I understand the disks make a trench, but what are those things behind the disks that you called a gang?
Why do you use double tires but then these narrow like in the cotton harvest? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, im from Europe, we dont use tyres that small unless we‘re spraying herbicide (with single tires). When we need to get as much power to the ground as possible we use wide double tires or just wide tires.
These tires are set up for 30 inch rows, and if they were bigger they would drive on the row. When planting this would increase compaction on where we plant and also if we are doing tillage or planting into cornstalks we would always be driving on old cornstalks sticking up which wears our tires a lot more. So all in all we have smaller tires to stay in between the rows. Thanks for the question.
Sonne Farms thank you, I didnt notice that the tractor is driving between rows with chaserbin. I just know these narrow tires when they are used to drive over life crop, not when harvested or at planting/cultivating
We do know about it. It is super expensive and faced with the decision to wither buy a new piece of land or drain tile, we would rather buy the land because you can tile drain anytime, but there isn't always close ground for sale
@@SonneFarms When I bought my farm in Central Ontario I had two crop failures and faced the decision to either tile it or sell it. I tiled the land 30 years go and it was the best decision I ever made.But tile is now $900 /acre up here. It was a lot less when I did mine. Tile pays every year but you have to own it to do it. We can get 10 year tile loans here through the government. The biggest challenge is to get a good outlet and most of your landscape looks real flat. So not sure where you can a good fall to make it work properly
@@SonneFarms It cost me $10,000 to get n outlet and my neighbour $27,000 to get an outlet.And the municipality cleans it out when needed and bills it back to the land owners based on their asessment.The tile loan is though the municipality but backed by the province of Ontario.With a ten year loan it pays for itself right away
I’m 31, older then you I’d say. I only reference age because you seem to always be listening to classic rock. Your parents must have been pretty cool...not saying they aren’t still cool. Haha
What I like most about your videos is seeing the relationship you have with your father. Money cannot buy what you have.
Bryan and Cole I love you guys as life 😊
At least you can plant something we are not. But great way to get more feed for your cattle and you are putting your land to work. Great video Cole
You and your dad seem to work well together.👍
Nice eyes and one heck of a guy,good luck hugs

Great explanations on what your doing. Very good vids. Thanks.
Another keeper, watching these videos is like having a great day at work, keep it going and thanks.
Great video good seeding your sorghum and millet
Really nice video. I’m new to watching your updates, but appreciate you walking through everything. Glad to see you guys making the best of everything. Good luck getting the rest of the forages in.
Thank you for the kind words!
... great farming video, btw .....
Classic rock and country are great choices.
Milletes were popular in the 80's🤣 Wow back then your dad was so quiet..
Get her done get some planting done🤠🇺🇸
Well it a got done before the rain can in hope everything come up and you all have a good harvest.

Some pockets had it worse than others!
Great video 👍👌👏
Can you explain about the Government changing the regulations
I really like seeing how your equipment works and your explanations for what the machines do. One question. I understand the disks make a trench, but what are those things behind the disks that you called a gang?
Great Plains has a similar arrangement but is a crank you crank it 40 something times and weigh the seed it is a real pain

If your VT case ih blades get dull let me know I have the case ih sharpener i rent out to really get them to cut again
Funny thing about farming, we pray for the rain to stay away and then pray that it will rain , we want it when we need it and not when we don't lol
1:41 That look on your face... :P
Why sorghum in stad of corn,greatings from the Netherlands
Good question, we know we are going to cut it for silage, and the seed cost per acre is about $70-80 less when we use sorghum instead of corn.
Lmao you said " moist"! Lmao
So much rain everywhere
not here in Germany :( Second year in succession with almost no rain in June and July. Last year we lost 40% of our silage/hay. 😭
How many acres do you farm and how many cows?
I'm not the only one that has to worry about rain
Its been wet for the last 12 months
A 80s music fan I see
I listen to most music yes!
What’s your opinion of the Crustbuster drill
What camera do you have?
Gopro 7 black
Great video. When you chop the Sorghum can you make a video of the process? That would be interesting to see.
I sure will!
We have a 9770 and a 9230 :D
Do you farmers not know about tile drainage in the US I see so many videos of land that should be tiled

@@geo52041 Yea the flat land is an issue, a 10 year lone would help a lot

Sf getting it done again
Could you drill in sorghum or does the harvesting equipment require rows?
We could drill it but our planter handles it really well and the metering system is good.
@@SonneFarms thanks!
Can you explain further why the USDA would govern what you can do with your cover crop, acreage, and silage?
In order to qualify for a crop insurance payment behind PP ground RMA has rules for cover crops.
Why don’t you do no till
Small town Boy we have no tilled every field this year... which kinda sucks but you have to do what you have to do.
Jackson Cooper oh
manurrr
Can I come work for you
We are not looking for farmhands
Sonne Farms ok I’m a hard worker I just need a job to keep busy
A video on my birth date....
I’m 31, older then you I’d say. I only reference age because you seem to always be listening to classic rock. Your parents must have been pretty cool...not saying they aren’t still cool. Haha
Yea we have a good classic rock radio station nearby but otherwise I am usually listening to country.
