Daddy Cornstar getting after Augie just like a Grandpa getting after a Grandchild, pretty cute.( Don’t eat the grass, Don’t scratch up the car and so on and so forth.)
Hint hint .... Is that cooper making babies :p
Love you guys. Cherish family. All the best. Lots of love to the whole family xx
It is great to see everyone adopt the habit of cleaning their equipment at the end of the day. Farm stuff, and personal stuff. Never fail!!! Changing/checking the oil, cleaning/checking the tires, doing all the little fiddling stuff, etc, etc., .. good habits to get into. Never forget to do it. Your equipment will look great and will always be worth far more than you think it should. All because of that little bit of extra effort.
Row, row, row your corn gently down the field. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is just a yield. Thank you for another educational and entertaining episode!
Yup... I'm done looking for Cornstar videos... I use to look forward to them but apparently he's tired of posting or something. I will watch them when YT says 'hey here's one" but I use to look daily to see if one was up. Done looking.
I like the farming classes . I hope you do an up date on how your corn evaluation goes and the results.
Good job checking the corn emergence. Very good info. Now is also a great time to check the corn depth, just dig down next to the baby stalk and you can see exactly where the kernel ended up now that the ground has had time to settle.
Born and lived in Iowa (SW ) until I was 29, knew absolutely nothing about farming as I had terrible Hay fever allergies. 25 years in the Army, as a retired Veteran I work for a fruit orchard in Emmett, Idaho learning about farming and love it.
Cooper deserves a raise!
If that's the case, then they all deserve a raise!
Big time
Great Video Today... A bit of humor and fun along with a couple of lessons learned on Spraying crops. With all of the farm channels I follow I don't remember anyone giving a better explanation on what needs to be done when switching crops. I appreciate the extra effort you guys put in to bring the Non farmer folks a common sense explanation that explains there is more than dropping seeds in the dirt LOL. Also the maintenance work on all of your equipment shows the importance of making things last longer. I was curious if you have looked into the New AG Leader stuff for the Hagie that would allow you to better control each nozzle?. With pretty much triple the cost for Chemicals this year it seems that it might be a super savings investment in the long run and also help to reach the 300 bushel corn and 100 bushel Soy Beans your trying to reach. DC is teaching Auggie some good lessons from his Grandpa Cornstar and he is adorable in the videos. As always Thank You for bringing us along on these adventures that always put a smile on so many of our faces no matter what kind if day we might have had.......
This channel should be called Cole the Drama queen
Cole,
My name is Marv,
And I am a Tool and Diemaker by trade
40 years and what your are describing is a process of elimination
Well at least that’s what we call it. And I must say you guys are really proactive in your maintaining the equipment. Many people don’t understand how vital maintenance and cleanliness actually is.
You are inspiring
You are such an inspiration to those who are planning on becoming a farmer. We'll surely send your channel to our clients who recently bought land from us near the farm to get them inspired as well. Thank you for sharing 🥰
I like how you are constantly showing how the Cornstars are always trying to improve and innovate - looking for smarter and better ways to run things and improve yields and efficiency. It’s proof that farming is not stagnant or old-fashioned as all the tired old social myths perpetuate.
Cole went to college and this IS the reason he knows options are out there!
And not walking behind mules either.
We have the same sprayer cured fuel filter problem by adding 4" long pipe and valve under the tank rust will settle in pipe works good
I love your data driven approach to making a better farm
Hope you also included the temperature. First up if on a cold day are less prosperous in real hot /low rain summers.
As a middle school science teacher I love the experimental model at work here! It pays to pay attention in school!😜
Hi Cole. Keep in mind the seed quality can be all that affects the emergence speed. Even if the germination is 100% they don't all germinate at the same speed. Ask for a vigor test. This is the germination percentage halfway through the test cycle. The higher that number the more even they will emerge.
That’s something I’ve never understood about soybeans. All the suppliers tell us 140000 seeds per acre or 1 bag. My question is if the germination is 80% or 85% do I need to vary the rate. Our local suppliers look at me like I’m dumb for asking. My theory is I want 140000 viable plants per acre. It may be a bit much but it’s worked for me for years.
Haven't been here in months, same old story. STILL working on that hut a year later that should have taken 3 weeks. I see the porch is still not down.
Petrol prices in victoria australia
Diesel is $2.11 a litre
Unleaded $2.19 a litre
I think it will go up more
Everything is going to up as well as interest rates here
Have a good week cornstars
Cheers 🥂
Australia 🇦🇺 🦘🦘🦘👍👍👍🚜🚜🚜
Almost exactly the same in Canada
I can’t wait to see renovations on the house
The tire guys my dad. Love your videos and was so excited to see him in it. I was at your house again fixing the same tire bc it had anthor hole in it
Love you Daddy Cornstar and Cooper! What's with the drama? It will be okay!
Auggie had to nap. He gets all worn out eating grass, carrying things around in his mouth and scratching up vehicles. Good thing his daddy, uncle and grandpa are good at fixing things and there to teach him 😉. He is adorable 🥰
You should get some yellow paint and paint the rusted wheels on the sprayer
I remember your setting the depth of each row unit on the planter to 2”. Have you thought about going back and checking each row unit now that planting is over to see if any units are out of adjustment?
Love the name of the new 🐕. Who named him. My name is Agustin friends call me "Augie " because not every one can say the name wright. LOVE IT
Lol that opening was killer....
So did sable go to your local co-op?
Please keep us updated on these tests.. im very interested!!!
every episode should have 2 minutes of DC playing with the dog.
Thankfully in today's video, you all are back to bring us the viewers along with you; both in conversation and explanations of the task at hand! Cole, very interesting corn crop experiment, looking forward to following it along with you. I think it is great that all of you at CornStar Farms are always finding new ways to improve your farm, while still understanding the golden rule, "if it isn't broken don't fix it."
You guys are too much fun ❤️😂. The puppy😍 the dish!!! 😂😂😂
Your corn seedling inconsistency may not be from your planter, rather soil clods next to the seed maybe the culprit. Germination inconsistency could be many things right?
Hi to Cole and all the Family from Australia. Cole, one of the variable elements you must record is your time taken to do your field tests (and all the other jobs). Time as a “metric” will show up as a cost and you can track the improvement in doing things better, quicker and easier and it will also be a factor in decision making when looking at upgrading equipment or deciding when to outsource rather than doing a job in-house. Having done many similar quality control and statistical analysis projects in a number of different manufacturing sectors, you are absolutely right on the money. Knowing the actual cost on non-conformance will make decisions to buy a dedicated wash out head and containment bay for the sprayer and trailer a simpler exercise. Your business oversight contributes as much as Coopers mechanical abilities and DC’s groaning (lived wisdom) to your success. Looking forward to seeing the various flag test results at harvest time. Cheers Mate. 🇦🇺🧪🚜🛰🐮🇦🇺
I love it too! All for working smarter and not harder
So what was was your percentage of corn emergence vs corn planted?
And we're excited to watch you on your journey Cole. Please keep us updated on this exciting journey.
💥 I’m worried you may have inhaled too much chemical. You’re crazy dude!!!
*Keep on tractoring!* 🤪👍
I think that everytime with Cole. He makes me laugh. He's just being silly.
Do you test your well for chemicals? If a minimal amount of run off killed your grass how much soaked into the ground
omg! so funny, so educationall, you all work SO hard, and I LOVED the full moon shot at the end as well
That grass will still grow back. There is a big seed reserve in the ground from previous seed drops especially if it's fescue.
My dad use to dilute washing soda crystals to flush out sprayer systems but not sure if it works.
Back before I retired I used to buy all our oil in 55gal drums from sam's club when I checked around they were cheaper than anyone else usually by about$75-100 I've been retired for 3yrs worth checking out Sam's or Costco?
Cole in straight Analytics mode today
GDU's .... Is it possible to harvest the first emergence seed to establish an stronger variety????? Yes, would be hand harvesting and separating the seed corn in "small" operation. Winter project... I'm "thinking the first emergence is a unique DNA and could be isolated and perfected. Erin Holbrook does the same track and I have shared this with her . All good... Just a thought
Always curious about you washing off equipment on the property. You have so many different chemicals used for growing and simple as washing a car. Is there certain areas you wash down your tractors, spray out tanks, wash cars etc... So there isn't a cross contamination of anything? Like do you wash certain tanks in one area and others in another area?
I am really wanting to see the renovations on the old house. That's why I started watching this site.
Me too!
Gas in Morrison Illinois next to Clinton Iowa was 5.29 this morning. 5.09 yesterday 🤬
Cool about the corn flagging Cole . Very interesting 🇺🇸🌽☝️
Go over the Ws border, $4.99, McHenry Co. IL., $5.79....
@@shouston894 thank you Illinois for the higher gas tax that goes to Chicago
Thanks for the laugh Cole. Your little skit at the beginning was just what I needed. You & your family have taught me so much about farming, equipment, operating & so much more. I passed by a farm I have passed my entire life. I noticed they had these black plastic containers stacked and have several rows of them. I was like, "hey that's their seed" I catch myself looking at their sprayer and other things you have shared with all of us.
Can I book an appointment for the $2000 car was for August 31? Not the day the year 😆.Great intro 👍👍
It’s so good to see you using DATA DRIVEN metrics. This is the kind of thing that will definitely help you increase yield and run most efficiently. Most business owners tick me off bec they won’t learn the best ways to run a business BUT we r supposed to give them tax relief and revere them. my hats off to u Cole!
Those new outdoor lights do a great job lighting up the driveway. Must make washing off equipment in the evening a lot easier.
Is the runt corn plant one of the sacrificial seeds for corn borers to eat? Wouldn’t that make sense since it isn’t coated from the factory?
You can be a comedian if you weren't a corn farmer!!!
Hilarious!!!!!
Mornin Daddy Cornstar!!
I just paid over $5 a gallon here in Washington State North of Seattle. It’s getting so rough I have to stay home. Other than absolutely necessary driving I can’t make it happen.😌✌🏼🇺🇸
$5.59 a gallon in Southern Oregon
Do not feel bad. Up here in Canada we are paying over $8 gallon for gas now.
lol! The sped up disclosure was hilarious!
There was nothing wrong with the float on your toilet. There should have been a small red 1/4 inch stopper in the box. It slips on the side of the plunger to stop it from going up and down.
Just curious, do you have your water well tested for chemicals regularly? With just a little run off killing your grass I wonder how much leaches into the ground.
What is Nave doing this summer? Haven't seen her helping at the farm.
Daddy Corn Star getting after little Augie is so adorable he is the cutest puppy❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cole did you tinkle in the tank? You should plow that field under before you plant. Might save one plant.
Do you know how to tell if the mushrooms are safe to ear
Killing two stones with one bird….going to sound exactly like DC in 30 years Cole
Enjoyed now to go see if my lawn mower parts shipped
Where do the chemicals go when you flush tanks
In the drajn
Okay, I now have an idea for two videos: one on all the projects you’ve completed on your property, and a second video on all the technological advances you’ve made since starting your CZcams channel and how that’s impacted the success of the farm.
Cool always guys 👌 👍 😎
Really really interesting video. Great variety. You been thinking again. You got new angles and new content. Way to go!
I need a wash!!
Lol. We need some funny with Cornstar!!
This video is basically corn math.
great content and thank you
Do you guys ever use nh3 to help get more nitrogen out in your fields ? Or are you all liquid?
When are u working on the house again?
D.C. is in to everything on the farm. I think he and the dog are made for each other. Cole you should work for a corn producer.
just so you know were i live in Pennsylvania the gas cost is now 5.15
Ow.
Always disconnect battery when doing maintenance it will be a big help in preventing accidents
Daddy cornstarch. To replace the guts of a toilet you don’t have to dump the tank. That float topper comes off from the bottom
Gas $4 a gallon?
2 gallons cost me the equivalent of $22 yesterday, not a typo. Fuel cost crazy in the UK at the moment
Cole I applaud your emergence checks. Does the germination rate of the seed play into this equation? You may have done/planted everything correctly, the late emergers are simply bad seed/seed of unequal vigor. Does Ag Leader give you a planter performance report? The monitor records individual row information for downforce, singulation, skips/doubles, spacing, for every field, every variety, seems a waste not to use that info. You've paid for it! I think these feature are under utilized by most planter operators. Good luck on your yield quest!
If your planning on winning the manly version of Mary Poppen's for the stand-up at the Blue Oyster. You've got it down pretty, attitude too and everything. Don't forget the sunglasses, shorts, the shorter the better and the Cowboy boots. Don't forget the snow cap with the fuzzy ball on top. 👍 👍 😜😜😜
What doctor do I need to see? 😂😂🤣
Cole remember the crop that had all those "twin ears" what seed was that?!
$4/gallon is cheap compared to the $7usd we are paying i per gallon in western Canada, almost be worth buying a truck and coming down there to stock up
Hey Cole, give me the name of the soap you use on your vehicles and machinery. I can’t find it in your description or links.
Very good video 👍 👍
Who would had thunk there is so much science in growing.
Love that you show this aspect of growing corn and soybean.
Slow down I still use my slide ruler :-) chuckle. Though I do have one made of ivory but I not only cant recall where it is but not even how to use it.
I really like the new format of your videos where Cooper is the serious, steady, mechanically sound bro who repairs and keeps the machinery rolling, then Daddy Cornstar the steady, reliable father, cool as a cucumber who we all wish was ours and then Cole the family jester, who dresses in sponsors clothing not worrying that he looks like a clown and then loves to get into the professor mode and despite his planning it always goes pear shaped and he costs the family heaps, what a laugh.
What happened to the wrap around porch on your house? Did you decide not the build one?
How do u wear a hoodie and jeans in the summer time and still function??
Zack has a nice bucket truck.
Thanks for another sweet video and all of the updates
Like the new shades better than the old shields
Good to see that tree finally getting shaped and pruned from the wind damage.
Thank you for the information that you share with us and keep up the great work all r doing as a family
Time to spray some corn...yep. Then for me, hay...lots of hay.
Big daddy cornstar is glad he ordered filters last year. The way things are going now.
Hey DC, I rewired a 1066 IH on my channel a couple months ago, checked the air filter and it was from 1974. Lol
Cole, Cole, Cole!
I thought the mix mate was the best thing since sliced bread..
I have a 72 red super beetle that needs washed and waxed in anderson ,sc and could use a little tlc and I will throw in lunch
72 was a great VW year.
