Id keep that radio flyer wagon for Edward to haul him around in the yard. Thats a collectors item now a days, Cole & Nava!

I can totally understand. My papaw was a child of the great depression, i.e., he wouldn't throw away anything. When he passed and we started cleaning up the ranch, in just scrap iron from tractors, plows, etc, there was $125k that we hauled to the recycling plant. Took 8yrs to get the ranch cleaned up.

Cole.... When you get the rock finished, take an evening for a family cookout and celebration...you set a goal, reached it, and now celebrate it....relive memories, tell the stories...usher in a new era....remember the past, live in the present, look to the future....this is a family watershed moment....don't let it pass by without celebration....well done, young man...well done! You don't realize it fully yet, but you have changed the future for your entire family! 👍👍👍

Congratulations on your ability to work so hard and keeping your enthusiasm. Very best of Luck to you and your family. Keep up your “you tube journal “ it.s something special as your youngster grows up and learns how hard you both worked to provide for you all. Look after your health and learn to relax (. Hobbie & rest. ). Have been watching you and will continue to do so. Please tell me the Babies name and age so we can keep an eye on your wee family. Thank you for the lovely viewing. Mrs B

I really like how you’ve transformed the farm into a clean, professional, and modern operation.

Happy Birthday Cole! You’re an impressive young man. I started watching when you were 21 years old. I remember the old grain bins, the mud and the auger graveyard. You have every reason to be proud. 🎉

Wow. I’ve been watching you for years now. I don’t live on a farm, I don’t even have a garden. I’m a grandmother and a quilter, but I look forward to watching each and every video of yours, your dad’s, your funny brother’s and I also watched your sister’s. Happy Birthday Cole! You are the same age as my oldest grandson.. thanks for letting us visit with your family. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. 😊

Your farm looks SO GOOD! Hard work pays off!🎉

Cole, I am so impressed! You regained so much useable space and got rid of so much junk! Nice job!

Happy birthday, Cole. You've accomplished so much in those 11 years! The farm is looking amazing!

I love how much pride you and your family put into your work 😊

Happy Birthday, Cole, and your Grandpa would be proud of you for all the hard work you have done around the farm period.

Wow! Where does the time go? Just seems like Yesterday that I was introduced to a " 21 year old farmer getting stuff done ". I fondly remember Nave's first documented visits Cornstar Farms and her assimilation from " city life to farm life " and eventual " farm wife and mom ". ❤ It's been a joy Cole to witness this journey of time you've shared with your family and friends! Oh...BTW...Happy birthday 🎂 👍🏻

If you want to watch a 21 year old get stuff done....Welcome to Corn Star farm!!!! Way to go Cole!!!! Maybe you might like to organize the country too?? CONGRATULATIONS on a job very well done!!!!

Happy Birthday, Cole! What an old soul. What you have accomplished is truly something to be proud of. I adore you and your family. Carry on, Sir.

Cole, you are not only a CORNSTAR, but you're a ROCKSTAR! I LOVE YOUR DETERMINATION! ❤

Cole you and your family are the hardest working people I have ever seen you all take pride in what you do .god bless you all and see you in the next one

I've watched you from the beginning, been amazed at the drive and determination you possess, Cole. This was an incredible achievement that not many people would persevered through. The look of quiet pride on your face made me tear up.

Cole you are an amazing young man first time watching you I'm a great grandmother and you warm my heart ,we need men like you to rebuild our country. You are an inspiration for others .God Bless.

Aww restore that wagon it’s awesome 🤩

You should be very proud of yourself. Your hard work has paid off big time! Oh, and happy birthday to you, Cole.

The look of pride on your face is priceless. You did it. Happy Birthday to you.

As a 49 year old from Devon, UK you are a complete inspiration with your attitude to hard ( and smart ) work ! Our farming practices are very different in the UK, but I really enjoy being part of the journey of you and Cornstar Farms

You guys are wheat kings.

I love that Nave has been with you almost the entire time you've been renewing the homestead. Most women would have run, but she worked right along side you, and together you've built and will build something great for your new family. And now that she's a full-time mom, she's still renewing the homestead but in a different way.

I don't think most would run. I think you have your assumptions on what women would do swapped, I think most would stay. Now if you don't tell them your plans and they don't agree, you can't fault them for leaving, but if you talk with your partner and they are not ok with doing it and you do it anyway that's on you. Communication is very good to have. From my limited experience women love remodeling old houses more than men do at least the inside and finishing touches.

Cole, I am an Oyster farmer in New Brunswick Canada. I've been working for close to 3 years now in this and you are completely correct... small things done every day and keeping the larger picture in mind... long term thinking... makes ALL the difference. We are already much more efficient, and next year we'll be doubling our output as a result. I daily LOOK for your videos because while my business is different, all of the concepts and the planning you do is very similar to our farm and I find your videos very inspiring. Thank you very much for sharing your experience... it's helping me keep the motivation to continue to improve and trust that in the end the plan will work despite the inevitable weather related step back that always seems to nick into the plans.

Young man, i have been watching the transformation of the farm and you over the years of your posts.... YOU have laid the ground work for your great grandkids future. Well done on bringing one of the hardest tasks inheritors have to a close. Happy Birthday

Hey Cole Use a shop-vac with the hose taped to the end of a broom handle or 2x2 and lean it next to the hole that the wasps come out of and let the vacuum suck them up and then you can walk around while they get sucked up. I do this to every wasp nest on my property and it works wonders.

Hi Cole , This video is the reason I found your channel . Your Farm looks absolutely beautiful these days . As I always told you . I am proud of you!

Happy Birthday Cole. I too had a bday this month 63 is my magic number. We Leo's gotta stick together.

There is a matting--like weed preventer matting--that is put down under gravel for road building. It prevents the gravel from being mashed down into the dirt, which will happen. It's not cheap, and you'd probably only want to use it where the heavy stuff will be running. Probably cheaper than more layers of rocks as they disappear into the ground.

As someone who's watched pretty much from the beginning...WOW! What an accomplishment! Hard work pays off for sure.

It seems like you would benefit from a woven geotextile or a geogrid (looks like snow fencing) under the 3" rock if the soil is too muddy underneath. The geogrid or woven textile would keep the rock from sinking into the mud and I believe it would support far more weight (truck) in the wet season than rock alone.

Happy Birthday Cole! Have a healthy year ahead. If I did the math right, in just 9 years you will be eligible to run for President. You will have my vote!

I just have to say wow you guys really did have a junkyard. What an amazing difference I have seen as watching your videos. Well done young man and happy birthday

Absolutely incredible and so satisfying to watch!! Happy 26th birthday Cole!! Your grandpa is so very proud of you all!! Well done and looking forward to you next video!!

Thank you for documenting everything. You and your work is very inspiring.

Why is it so satisfying to watch you spread stone and clean out these old buildings?

Good job Cole. 👍 The difference between the possible and the impossible is determination. Your 11 long years of hard work has paid off. The place looks amazingly organized and clean. Hugs and now you can have satisfaction on a goal well done. God bless you, Hun. 🫂

Happy Birthday Cole! I admire your organizational skills!

Cole. I got married at the ripe old age of 18. I was struggling to raise my family on meager funds. Finally at the age of 25. I found a job and I retired after 32.3 years. Went back to work again after getting bored of doing nothing. I was over weight. Struggling with diabetes type 2 When I reached 65. I lost 100# of weight. Lots and lots of walking. Just last year. I beat diabetes type 2. I'm 69.3 years old. I've finally decided to stop working anymore. But I have of things to do. I enjoy working with my hands. Working on vehicles and many other things. They say you cannot teach a dog new tricks.. I say it's because they have given up. I have grandkids to teach now. To pass on what I've learned. I am looking forward to the years to come. I'm always learning and will never stop. God Bless you Cole.

That garage would be perfect as a small metal shop. Your bender, a small lathe, a metal saw, plasma cutter, welder, hose press and whatever tools you need to fabricate small stuff. Cooper would be happy. And a big fire extinguisher to make you calm!

Awesome work Cole - So rewarding to see such organisation!

Great job Cole!! I am so happy for you, because we all know how long you have wanted this done. I love watching the cleaning, organizing videos. Cant wait to see y'all finish the house either. Excellent !!

A tidy farm like yours will usually be more profitable and definitely more pleasurable to work on. Great video.

Happy Birthday Cole take the day off and celebrate your Birthday all day long ,you have a Beautiful Baby and a Beautiful Family.

I cannot believe what you have gotten done. I thought it would take 10 more years. Way to go Cole.

Well done, Cole!! I'm *SOOO* proud of you!! And, I know your family is too! Also... *HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!* 🎂🍰❤👏

Happy Birthday! And for the newly graveled Parts, try to go with a plate compactor. It will give structure and strength to the gravel as well as the underlying soil. This will not fully prevent you from getting drive marks, but they might end up a bit shallower. A plate compactor will give you a much better results than the skit loader tracks.

Spectacular Birthday Present! 11 years later, you can reflect on all your hard work and see the fruits of your labor. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! One of my Supervisors told me to stop and look and smile after cleaning each patient room. It is a way to congratulate yourself and pat yourself on the back. Work is its own reward. So proud of you! Here’s to looking forward to the next 11+ years, especially as your Son grows up with you by his side. Simply epic! B~}

With your soils, you may lose rock over time. It will get pushed down into the soil, particularly when driving trucks on it when it is wet. Geotextile road fabric below the base rock would have been a good idea in the primary truck traffic areas.

Happy Birthday Cole! Just a couple of suggestions, first is on the pad with the electrical panels, I saw that there are either threaded rod or rebar sticking up, put some plastic covers on the ends and no one will get hurt Next is that if you slope the grade away from buildings and have shallow drainage swales you can manage the water on your site and won’t have any puddles or water in buildings Love what you all are doing to make things better !

HB Cole 🎉🎂 That old bike and wagon is a collectors dream. I had a 1949 Doodlebug ( mini bike w/kick start ) I restored and sold for $5k, they make about 10,000 back in the day in Webster City I-owe-way. Restoring old stuff like that fetches a nice lil penny ! Give a farmer wave to my former fellow I-owe-wons 🖐️👍

I did the same thing on our family farm. 4th gen and the first three gen horded every thing. I am 66 now and there is still projects to do. You are a inspiration to me and very proud of what you accomplished. Most people will never know what this means. God bless you.

Weird I saw this on my birthday 6mos. after you posted it. No, we don't have the same birthday . I turned 68 3hrs. ago. Just got through cleaning out my old medicine from a heart attack and am drug free except a pain pill about once a month. Sometimes I just need a break. lol It felt so good to cut up all those labels. I'm also 50lbs. lighter than when that happened. Trash removed like you're doing. Still have trouble walking long distances but still improving. Lost your channel a while back but I found it again. Gonna celebrate with breakfast at a little store down the road and then go back to cleaning house. Anyone wants to see me they'll have to come here. Give me a reason for a break. lol

Oh Cole! It’s so cool - I started watching when you were 21 ! Five years now have passed and from the trash filled yard to what we see today - just utterly amazing! No wonder I kept watching!! Such a hard worker‼️
