I gotta say some of my favorite videos are just of cole working on his yard and cleaning things up. It’s nice to see his attention to detail and how much he cares about things as simple as grass
Cole, how about growing a wildflower meadow out near the trees? Same on mowing and it would be great for critters, bees, birds and beautiful. Ask Nave, she might like the idea.
Cole, my uncle died an hour ago. I had him hooked on your videos. He didn’t care a bit about farming. He liked watching because we always hunted together. He always said “that there’s the good corn that the bucks will come to!” Right after I said goodbye to his body, I got this alert for your video. Thank you for giving us some relaxing entertainment to enjoy together. Say a quick prayer for us if you don’t mind. Thank you again for giving us content to enjoy together. I’ll stay a subscriber and a viewer. Your content will always remind me of him. God bless.
Hi, Mr. Cole, That was my favorite book as well. My dear Mom would read it to me.. I think it was called "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel". Great book.
Cole, I'm a "desert rat" out here in Nevada but I always enjoy your videos brings back memories of my youth on a North Carolina farm. A wise decision to preserve the grove area for you to enjoy and learn from.
Last time cleaning machine shed means more time in the future for other projects to get even further ahead. The way I've watched your farm grow over the time on your channel is amazing. You and your family have definitely buckled down and for a smaller farm, you are sure are doing the job effectively! Happy planting in a short few weeks!
Cole, the one thing in life you're going to learn, never say never. Sooner or later, you'll use it again. It just happens. Mama cornstar just rocks. Great video, cheers :)
Mike Mulligan was one of my daughter's favorite books when she was little. What was awesome was that at the local "dairy bar" in town there was a mechanic's garage and they had an old red steam shovel parked in their yard. My kids had fun pretending it was MaryAnn while they were eating their ice creams. We always had to go over and visit her....fun memories ! x) ......Congrats on cleaning out the machine shed for the very last time !! Now THAT'S a good reason for a party !!
I am really looking forward to the finished product. Now I know when one owns a home the projects never end. But I’d love to see a drone shot of the before vs. after. Can’t wait for the siding and new porch. Just excited for you 😊
AWESOME VIDEO, Cole!!!! I loved it! It will be SO cool when you get the Grove all cleaned up! It's incredible to see how much you've improved your property. You should be SO very proud of yourself, for all the work you've done. Thanks for sharing everything with us! Looking forward to watching the new grain setup get built!
I lived in Indonesia where workers wouldn’t take the time to use their outriggers. There were many accidents. I’m so glad to see you using them every time. 👍🏻
Cole (seasoned life-long highly-experienced farmer) - "You know what? I didn't put her in neutral." Me (suburban grandmother who never farmed a day in her life) - "Cole, you idiot." IRONY ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!!!
I can’t wait till you get the big machine shop doors fixed!!!!! Once cleaned and lighted, would love to see what you come up with for the exterior paint scheme. Hope you paint murals or something else fun (maybe a cornstar farms logo etc.). Maybe you could ask your subscribers for ideas, pick a handful of your favs and put it up for a vote? Would love to see a ten foot high portrait of coops locks on the doors.... lol. Though I really don’t think his ego needs anymore reinforcement!!!! Lol
For those not used to that part of Iowa, yes the top soil is about three feet thick. You could really see it in that hole Cole was digging. I used to live in Michigan and the top soil layer was about 1/8" on top of sand.
Ok... Best video yet/ever!!! Don't know why? Excellent mix of your people (except Summer, love her). Love seeing the corn gone and so many projects completed!!! You rock!
Cole, that's a nice backhoe but advice from a dirt guy: you get so much more utility out of a mini excavator and a tracked skid steer. Plus all the attachments that you can fit up and rent. If you have dealer support closeby look at Kubota KX040 and 057 (4 and 6 metric ton). Decent little machine with power angle tilt blades.
Comment #3: I am so excited to see how much time will be saved with your new bin site. Trucks will get loaded much quicker. You won't have to spend hours setting up, weeks filling up, and weeks emptying out the big machine shed. You won't have to deal with a dump pit where you have to clean out rancid water every year. You won't have to jury rig multiple augers to move corn around to bins and load trucks. You'll have a much larger grain dryer so you will be able to keep up with how much more corn the combine can bring in within a given time frame. You'll also save time with the new planter since it'a 50% larger. Yeah, you guys have spent and will spend a ton of money within a year, but the time savings dividends will be huge. You may save so much time that you will be able to add acreage to your farms and grow/harvest/sell more in a season. Good lord, I'm getting to the point of almost being emotionally invested in your future :/
That will be nice to have full use of your building for equipment. I thought you had all this stuff cleaned out!!! Yes, have a nature preserve area for wild life. They need space too.
We are cleaning out our grain shed too now, the mice are a problem so have to clean the wheat before it is taken away. Cole never say never you will end up filling the shed again.
I love your cleaning videos. I feel bad how hard you work. I grew up on a farm in Guthrie County, Iowa. When you get that yard and house all done it is going to be so beautiful. I love your family and your videos. You are all such nice people. Thank you for all you do! P.S. edit. Your hair is fine. You don’t need a haircut unless you want a haircut. 🙂
Cole, just wondering if you thought about outlining your burial junk site with the chunks of heavy rock. this way there will be a defining area and no one will unnecessarily use the part you have designated as the burial site.
Plant a couple of pear trees in your orchard if you want squirrels, rabbits, fox and deer. Plant some raspberries if you want an occasional bear to visit the orchard.
Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel was one of my favorite books when I was a little girl. I still have it somewhere. I read it to my boys when they were young and they're in their 30's now.
The smell of damp earth has a name - Petrichor. It’s the smell that you get after rain on dirt and later at night when a few starts to set in. (Also it’s one of my favourite smells)

Goodness. Mike Mulligan sure has some staying power. I read that book as a kid. I'm 74.
It's a solid book 28
Me too, but I am only 67.
Me three 59
LOL as a little girl I loved that book. I'm 61 now.
That was my favorite book as a kid. I’m 16 rn
You’re doing a great job fixing up your grandpa’s farm!!! Thanks for taking us along!
I gotta say some of my favorite videos are just of cole working on his yard and cleaning things up. It’s nice to see his attention to detail and how much he cares about things as simple as grass
I love seeing momma cornstar on your videos now !! Keep doing what your doing love watching what your up to !!
wait hes not editing her out anymore
Yeah
Still not used to seeing momma cornstars face! Brings a nice element to the videos when you are over there! No more blurriness 👌
When did Cole stop blurring her?
@@wadel.2465 once DC made a youtube channel and introduced her, maybe 2 months ago if that
@@sethwells5266 oh, that makes sense lol, thank you
I wonder what they had for supper. "Green beans" might be the casserole. MC cooks awesome, tasty food I bet. You are beautiful Momma Cornstar!
Cole, how about growing a wildflower meadow out near the trees? Same on mowing and it would be great for critters, bees, birds and beautiful. Ask Nave, she might like the idea.
Cole you have GREAT taste in children's books. That was a great one.

So sorry for your loss. 🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss. It was nice your uncle and you could bond over Cole the Cornstar!! God Bless 🙏
🧡
He sounds like an amazing guy, just always remember his and your good times together. Keep safe, and enjoy the good moments in your life. God bless
Love seeing Mama Cornstar. That lady is always smiling and looking so friendly.
JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU ALL. FOR BEING JUST WHO YOU ARE. YOU ARE ALL SO AWESOME .GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN ALL THINGS .MUCH LOVE FROM ME TO YOU ALL.
I like the corn stars and the Larson’s for the same reasons you do
LOVE that y’all are cleaning all the time.
You know whats funny, my grandma was cleaning her basement out a few weeks ago and gave me that book because it was my favorite as a kid too. 😆
Hi, Mr. Cole, That was my favorite book as well. My dear Mom would read it to me.. I think it was called "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel". Great book.
Mike Mulligan was my favorite book when I was a kid to, and me and DC are probably the same age.
Cole, I'm a "desert rat" out here in Nevada but I always enjoy your videos brings back memories of my youth on a North Carolina farm. A wise decision to preserve the grove area for you to enjoy and learn from.
Mike Mulligan and Maryann! I read that book a thousand times to my daughters and then to my grandchildren......Love it.
Always thought I was the only one that loved that steam shovel book when I was little. Now I see why I like cole so much!
Last time cleaning machine shed means more time in the future for other projects to get even further ahead. The way I've watched your farm grow over the time on your channel is amazing. You and your family have definitely buckled down and for a smaller farm, you are sure are doing the job effectively! Happy planting in a short few weeks!
I also loved that book as a kid. Ferdinand was also a favorite of mine as a kid. You brought me back some years when you mentioned that book!
Cole, the one thing in life you're going to learn, never say never. Sooner or later, you'll use it again. It just happens.
Mama cornstar just rocks. Great video, cheers :)
Id love to see that view from the road to the house in a before and after shot. So much has changed and been improved. Looks fantastic Cole!
Dang Cole, that mop is starting to look like a mullet. Coop watch out, Cole is on your six!
green beans with bacon arround is some of my favorite greetings from germany

"Might as well call me a mechanic!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cole is reliving his childhood books he read. He says backhoe reminds him playground equipment. Love you guys. 🥰❤💖🌽🌽
I am really looking forward to the finished product. Now I know when one owns a home the projects never end. But I’d love to see a drone shot of the before vs. after. Can’t wait for the siding and new porch. Just excited for you 😊
I have been watching your channel for a couple years now. You have inspired me to start my own channel. thank you.
"Harder than a grasshopper going backwards in a windstorm" - Daddy Cornstar, 2021
This is the single best comment in all of TH-cam
"Grab the bull by the tonsils" - Daddy Cornstar, 2020.
This legend is building classics!
Lol
When the new bin site is built, it is going to be epic! I can't wait! Much love from NH!
A half acre pond would look great over by the grove.
"Steam Shovel" was my favorite as well back in the 1960s. It was first published in 1939. Thanks for the flashback, Cole!
I loved Mike Mulligan too. Just read it to my boys not too long ago. That book has been bringing people joy for quite some time.
You could always use the big machine shed in case of a huge yield that is too much for your grain leg
AWESOME VIDEO, Cole!!!! I loved it! It will be SO cool when you get the Grove all cleaned up! It's incredible to see how much you've improved your property. You should be SO very proud of yourself, for all the work you've done. Thanks for sharing everything with us! Looking forward to watching the new grain setup get built!
Highlight of my day when DC drops a DC saying! Gotta love it!
Great idea, backing the cart up to the door.!🧐!.
Such a simple thing to do that could end up saving you thousands.
Glad you shared this.!😁!.
And it's The Grumpy Old Man as played by Cole the Cornstar. We know ypu don't sleep in, you can't fool us. Hope you all have a blessed Easter.
Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel, that was a fantastic book. I love the illustrations in it.
When Momma Cornstar makes food everyone comes running. To me..... This means that she is a REALLY, REALLY good cook.
“It takes longer than a grasshopper going backwards in a wind storm” -Daddy Cornstar for president 2024
2022? thats not how that works
2022 is senator 2024 is next President year
I’d vote for them
Loved that analogy!
If he runs as an Independent or a Democrat, I'd vote for him.
Same! That also was my favorite book as a kid
You guys are busier than a one legged grasshopper at a butt kicking contest 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭👍🤗💯
So nice to see momma cornstar!!! She is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 62 and can remember Mike Mulligan being read to me as a kid in the early 60's.
Wish I lived somewhere so peaceful, stayed on a farm air bnb last year and I have literally never slept that well. Get up in the morning, lovely view.
Mike and Mary Ann was my favorite book as well. I purchased one last year for my grandson. I didn’t think anyone else knew about that book.
I think Cole’s statement, “This is the last time we’re going to have to clean out the machine shed” is going to come back to haunt him!
He just meant the corn out of there.
@@vickiv354 I think corn is EXACTLY what JT is referring to also. As the saying goes...Never say Never.
Ok!
Yeah, his optimism about the new grain site has me worried.
But, he is quite capable, and the farm already has the ability to work as is just in case.
I was thinking the exact same thing, said to myself "don't jinx it!"
I lived in Indonesia where workers wouldn’t take the time to use their outriggers. There were many accidents. I’m so glad to see you using them every time. 👍🏻

The grove is going to look like a beautiful park with your vision. Maybe you can plant some specimen trees in the future👍🏻👍🏻
Grace and peace to all! Happy Holy Week! Love and blessings

im from western colorado -- whats top soil?
Love the vision Cole, gonna be an awesome spot when you get things completed and the hard work pays off!
"Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shove"
Loved that book growing up, and the movie. Mary Anne was a sure fine machine!
Oh my gosh I remember the steam shovel book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is one of my favorite books ever!!
I think operating a backhoe would be a fun job!!!! It’s a break from “corn” for you!!! Great video!!!! Yay!!!!
Love it, that you love the nature around you.!
This means that you'll take better care of the land eh.!
You won't just bury it, surely.!?!
Ok... Best video yet/ever!!! Don't know why? Excellent mix of your people (except Summer, love her). Love seeing the corn gone and so many projects completed!!! You rock!

Awww. Mama Cornstar is so cute!
Wonderful progress!!!
Going to be beautiful
“Mike Mulligan’s Steam Shovel”......my son’s favorite too when he was little!
Steam shovel was my favorite book too Cole! Excited for you and the family on things to come!
You need to put up outside lights too when you do the shed.
1986 is before you were born I believe. More than a generation. Now it's garage for farm vehicles. I can't wait to see your new silos.
Mike Mulligan and Mary-Anne! My favourite book as a kid, still read it every once and a while just cuz. That’s why I love heavy equipment
Glad you have your dad and brother to do the real work.
Glad you guys are getting it done ✔
That's a nice end loader! LOVE your hair Cole, please keep growing it out much longer. :)
That farmyard has really cleaned up nicely!
That was one of my favorite books too!
Nice to see progress on your yard!
The book you were talking about is Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel
Exactly what he shows at around 5:14.;o)
Mama Cornstar is awesome.. I'm glad I found you guys!!!😁👍👍😁
I think I got a couple of glimpses of a pink sunset in the background at the end of this video. Very pretty!

The world needs a Daddy Cornstar's Greatest Saying's book.
To each his own but I really liked you're hair a lot better when it was shorter
After putting hundreds of hours on a Case 580c, I instinctively yelled "Put in neutral!" when Cole couldn't get it to start.
I loved Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel. I bought that book from my elementary book club back in 68-69. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
MAKING WONDERFUL PROGRESS! WOW!
Nice to finally see momma cornstar on here!
Go Mama Cornstar! Nice to see you in clearly on Coles channel!!
Cole, just wondering if you thought about outlining your burial junk site with the chunks of heavy rock. this way there will be a defining area and no one will unnecessarily use the part you have designated as the burial site.
Plant a couple of pear trees in your orchard if you want squirrels, rabbits, fox and deer. Plant some raspberries if you want an occasional bear to visit the orchard.
I remember that book!!!! I was thinking the same thing watching you dig!!!
Looks like a fun day and glad the shop is all cleaned out
Hope y’all have a blessed Holy Week!
You to
Tenebrae tonight.
That was my favorite book too! Looks like you are making good progress.
Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel was one of my favorite books when I was a little girl. I still have it somewhere. I read it to my boys when they were young and they're in their 30's now.
I’m so glad you’re cleaning the farm up!
Soon you will be looking out your bedroom window and you will have beehives in place of the junk pile! Excited to see what it will become!
Awww, Mama Cornstar you are Beautiful!!! 🌽
