    I personally think the audio is worse, it's more base but a lot more clipping. I think his edits do a lot to make the audio crisp, so from his perspective maybe this is easier but the quality is lower. Side note: not an audio file at all, but I have watched his videos for 2 years as soon as they drop and listen to a lot of audio books.

    One piece of advice on the lawsuit. I went through one when I was injured on the job by a 3rd party. Dont say anything to anyone about what is going on etc. Lawyers are sneaky, in my case they filmed me trying to catch me doing things. They followed me at work, they listened to us talking on our CB's when we were in our trucks. They tried to turn some of my friends to testify in their favor. So keep everything to yourself. They actually turned the neighbor right across the street, a young couple, to film me from their house. Whatever they paid them, they sold right before the case was to go to court and moved on. And this is because I saw some of the tape and immediately realized where they had filmed from. So even people you think are safe to talk to or trust...... sometimes the money is too tempting.

    My husband was severely injured on the job on 6/24/22 and he worked at his job for 22 years. He stayed in the hospital (8 different ones) and he just passed away from this work accident on 2/28/24. 19 months and 4 days later he passed away. He loved watching you Cole. I am now a widow with 3 teenage boys to take care of alone and I am scared to death as my husband and I did not do estate planning. We just didn’t have anything to offer our kids as they are quite young. Excellent video Cole

    It's good you are getting clarity and a plan for the future. We were not a big farm but I have 8 siblings. When my dad passed away from a blood clot after a heart attack at 62, we had to do some major rethinking of how things were going to work. My mom decided to sell some equipment and rent out her land to a local farmer. Then she got pancreatic cancer and passed away 7 years after my dad. Most of us were not planning on farming but my dad wanted the farm to go to the only son. Some of my sisters had purchased land from my mom to help her out or have an acre or two on the land we grew up on. So there was a lot of figuring out what was fair and not just equal. It can really be stressful and strain your relationships if you don't have a plan in writing that everyone understands.

    New mike gives so much better audio than what you’ve been using and really reduces wind noises. Zack and Cooper are mechanical superstars and when watching them work, they do not let the grass grow under their feet. Roman is such a big asset in many ways, engineering, persistent work ethic, sense of humor, and all around great interesting guy. Cole you are a managerial superstar, electrician of sorts, carpenter of sorts and all around great guy along with being a great dad and husband. So enjoyed listening to Daddy Cornstar dig into the ground with his hands and give his take on when planting would be done. And putting all the different segments together was Cedric, the editing superstar. Thanks so much about giving the different vendors credit for what they were adding to your farm productivity. The rock app and related equipment rock digging machine was almost unbelievable to watch. What a great channel this is and thanks Cole for your generous spirit.

    It's a business which means most things they work with are tax deductions. This video is even a tax deduction. People get hung up on debt but debt on new equipment is cheaper than equipment maintenance and downtime. They lease most of that 2,000 acres which is a tax deduction. Removing the rocks from the fields are a deduction. It's all deductible.

    ​@@dammitbobby283 tax deductions are great, but they don't replace actual expenses and principle costs. Deductions only help retain profit. So if profit is only $50/acre deductions just help you keep more of that $50. They don't make profit out of thin air.

    ​@@dammitbobby283 real life example. Our farm lost $40 000 in equity last year. Meaning we didn't make enough money to cover our debt and have to borrow more against our assets for this season. If you don't have profit you don't have any deductions to get back.

    @@dammitbobby283 I farm with my 2 brothers. I and another brother do the bookkeeping and budgeting. We hire a very experienced tax preparer that specializes in farm business taxes. We work closely with our banker to manage costs and stress test budgets. We have been farming less than 10 years, and don't own any land, but the business is growing each year, requiring additional opperating funds to be borrowed. We do detailed itemized budgets on each field every year. This year our loss comes from drought and equipment repair. Crop insurance got us up to break even on inputs, but necessary repairs on a few pieces of equipment were well over budget. Again, repairs are tax deductible (and refundable) IF you have profit that gets taxed. Not every season generates a tax event. Profit margins on most farms are fairly slim. Often below $100/ac.

    So glad to hear that you are estate planning and taking every situation into consideration! My in-laws who raised 5 children on a dairy farm didn't have an estate plan until they were well into their 80's and were secretive about their plans. When they died a few years later, their not very thought out plan caused a lot of hate and discontent. You are going about it the right way for your situation.

    Just an idea for your cement slab. Dig out the ground a little. Use the big rocks as base material. Then spread some 5/8- gravel on top of rocks. Compact the gravel with plate Wacker. Ask the guys to design the cement base foundation. If that will be good base material UNDER cement slab. Just an idea for those ROCKs to be used for you on Farm. I do that for my base under my 5/8- pad for parking my 35 thousand pound big truck on.

The overall feel of the video was organized and thoughtful, with the assurance of future planning, getting your ducks all in a row, buying the filters at that big sale, and clearing that creek for Cooper's use with his hay business. It's not even my farm, and I felt comfortable with the farm's future. I appreciate your acknowledgment of all your helpers.
