Is my farm in trouble, or did I make the right decision? There is a lot on the line!

Cole ur always teaching us about the science of growing corn thank you it is fasinating to say the least
Cole, you are my #1 framing channel, I follow 4 others. Your sharing the nuts and bolts of what and why is most informative.
try plowing one field and see the change in production. just sayen, maybe do as the bible says and let one field lay fallow every 7 years see what happens.
As they say the definition of insanity is to do do the same thing and expect a different result. Most discoveries are th result of experimentation or a lucky mistake. BTW Is Luke cool sort of like Cool Hand Luke?
What kinda motor is in the sprayer
Cole…..Outstanding…in your field😊
It's So nice to see neva on your channel again she looks so happy congratulations to you 2
Not buying the neighbours farm didn’t help 🤦🏼♂️
some years ago, I worked for a greenhouse plant grower. He was very detail oriented when it came to forward thinking about plant nutrition and related thins. His big crop ws poinsettias for Christmas. His growing methods were very scientific. Every two weeks he sent tissue samples like you are doing, to a major poinsettia grower on the west coast. They would send back a report with very detailed formulas for the nutritional needs of the plants. At the time it was a very new idea. He grew the finest crop of poinsettias I have ever seen. Was it worth what he was doing, it sure was. I hope your experiment proves to be worth it.
Love the long video.
I heard a baby
When I don’t know what to do I don’t do anything, I pray about it.
@colethecornstar would you like to sell the Oliver tractor if so we’d may be be interested
Talking about your yield
Have you considered ploughing?
Manure spreading?
Bailing and selling your corn stalks to help pay for manure? Or swapping with a farmer for manure for cornstalk bales.
Or an intermediate crop like poplar or oilseed radish for fresh nutrients worked into the soil
Just a note: Not all very smart people have enough skin in the game to be reliable. It's their opinion against your money.
Nice job Cole
Great video, as always! That window in the house with the stained glass is awesome! Reminds me of my childhood home, I’m old btw. Loving the longer format too as I sit here drinking my morning coffee procrastinating!
i missed some episodes. You had a baby?
Great video Cole! Thanks for sharing insight into your different programs, very educational!
Diversity!!!!!
The seeming increase in large fires, out West and most likely in Canada, are due to not allowing smaller fires to naturally clear out overgrowth. It seems counterproductive to let fires burn, but it is needed by many ecosystems. Putting out the small fires increases the amount of burnable debris, increasing the size of the fires. When I was a kid, they used to let smaller fires burn every year and do controlled burns when fires don't start naturally.
The pecs are poppin
All those chemicals go into my tofu and tortillas? That sucks
My guess if things aren't penciling out, you're not seeing the effects of rebates that the big boys are (either directly, or indirectly in that the distributor/retailer supplying them is giving them a big discount in order to earn the manufacturer rebates).
Not familiar with rebates in agriculture, but a couple other industries I've been in the rebate incentives were eye opening.
No till no crop. Corn fields by us crap those yhat no tilled.
Cole there are no ashtrays in modern vehicles so people throw their butts out the window. Hence more wild fires!
Never realised someone invented the corn plant :'D
Where your brother purchase the insulation pads for his UTV?
I'm always curious about how things work. I don't always understand about all of the figuring you do of finding the cost of the different things you need for the farm. I have ADD and my attention span is very short. I have to see things to understand what you are talking about like when you were in the corn field explaining about the leaves and the silk's and the root that grows out to help it to stand against the winds. The one thing I've learned is to be patient when I get behind a piece of farming equipment when they are moving from one field to another. Love to you all!
