    Dad always said if you want to make sure you get rain, let somebody cut hay! Apparently, it doesn't work in your area. 😢 What a blessing to have Cole farming with you! So many farms go by the wayside when a farmer retires & the family sells out. You are blessed. Farming is a crap shoot (very stressful worrying about weather & market prices plus inputs. Our stress level is dependent on so many variables, but we try not to show it. I really enjoy watching you & Cole, especially with your wisdom. Great song of the day, too! 😊

    I know it’s hard Cole but can you imagine if Dad wasn’t there to offer his sage advice? Even Brian says he’s still learning every season. Brian’s calming encouragement is just what’s needed during this terrible weather season. I’m so glad you have each other.

    Brian, I sincerely appreciate your words about the drought and how it affects young farmers like Cole and how dad can help get them thru the drought with dad’s backing. I really appreciate your words and willingness to help Cole. My compliments to you Brian.
    Thanks for the song of the day. Might have been from previous video and I missed it. Brooks and Dunn are great. Beautiful voices. Thanks Brian.
    You got a few bales off of those small patches. Heartbreaking to see such few bales. Hang in there.
    Sending my prayers your way for rain and moisture for your crops.
    Sorry you did not get the DitchWitch machine. Those are nice machines. Keep trying. Sooner or later you will get one.
    About it I guess.
    Brian, once again thanks for your willingness to help Cole. Proud of you sir. My compliments to you.
    Hang in there on this drought issue.
    Thanks for the drone footage. Enjoyed that.

    My favourite Brooks and Dunn right now is This Is Where The Cowboy Rides Away, it's a music video. I'm listening to your choice right now. A bale here, a bale there. The moo's don't care where you got it. Walk the ditches next and get more bales after the clean up. Ditches need cleaned up anyway. He sure chases you hard with that baler. Cleaning up the weeds looks better now. Good video. Have yourself a pool moment. Pax.

    I’m from east central Nebraska. We have been in a severe drought also. First cutting alfalfa was about a bale a acre second was about a 1/2 bale a acre grass hay as about a bale 1/2 acre. Dry land corn is about done 2/12 to 3 foot tall and starting to tassel. Irrigated corn is looking okay. We have been blessed with a couple nice rains in the last week. It will keep the pasture going. The rain didn’t do much to help the dry land corn. The soybeans are looking good after the rain. Hope you get some rain soon.

    Hopefully the state is helping with the financial impact of the drought. It never is enough, but uncle always told me that if you sell those mommas, it’s hard to buy them back for less than you sold them for. Hopefully you guys get some rain before it’s too late in the growing season.

    Everyday life challenges are difficult to deal with, it's always nice to get good advice from an experienced source, also getting the first hand experience with that makes it even more beneficial. My son and I are experiencing the same low hay output this year for much of the same reason. We haven't fertilized in the past two years and our hay production went from the upper 200's to 65 this year. Hopefully we can get a fall cut, we'll have to wait and see. Liked the song of the day and the video, thanks, I hope the remainder of the week goes well.

    Hi Brian and Cole, it is devastating not to produce a decent amount of hay bales. I have been watching Sonne Farms for a few years and you have always produced enough hay for your cows/calves. This is new challenge for Cole to learn about drought on the farm. Stay cool and Brian you are not allowed in Tiffany's pool. Chris from Australia 🇦🇺 .

    Ah Cole, the excitement, the suspense and ultimately the disappointment of an online auction. Many many of us have been there, only to experience crushing defeat and the thought....would one last bid have been enough?
    I felt your pain when hitting that rock with the diamond mower, I used to drive a reach mower for a local marsh farmer, none of his drainage ditches had the outfalls marked so it was a constant guessing game of where they were......I got it wrong more often than not and had that horrid grinding crashing feeling through the tractor.
