I Found A Giant Sink Hole In My Field

I Found A Giant Sink Hole In My Field



► CORNSTAR STICKERS/HATS: https://farmfocused.com/cole-the-corn-star/

In today’s episode I discovered a major mistake with the wiring in the rebuilt heated shop, Cooper started his new job as a telemarketer, and Dad and I finished spraying burn down on our soybean fields. Ron our bulldozer guy, has been hard at work reshaping and fixing field edges, water ways, and terraces within our fields so I ran out for an evaluation of what he has completed. I started remapping our field boundaries, and I discovered a giant sink hole in the middle of the field west of Dad’s house. A lot of the maintenance around most of our farms has been neglected for the past several years so I am seeing out a childhood dream by fixing up our farms. A lot is going on around the farm so I am thankful you are taking the time to see what we are up to. Thank you for watching.

  1. Not a transportation engineer, more of a water engineer, but I would assume your 3:1 slope question is some engineer is taking some form of risk and has liability insurance for if someone crashes into that one spot since the 2 design points (elevation of the fields) and their design slope for the ditch make it so that it has to be a little more sketchy. But if you were to do the same ditch work with the slopes that they are trying to prevent you from getting sued if you did the same thing. Bit of an edge case for sure

  2. You can’t possibly be 25 already! I’m sure it was only yesterday your intro said 22 year old farmer. So much has happened for the better since then. The farm looks amazing now, a new family has arrived, new bins (wish I could say they are amazing, I’m so sorry for you that they aren’t.) new technology on the farm, and tyres, so many tyres lol

  3. Might want to have some blocks pushed up on the end of the terraces, the reason they went to the edge of the field was they needed the capacity (depth to hold runoff) I have seen this happen before and you will probably have water spilling over to the terraces below.

  4. Man that is a horrible wiring job you have going on in that box, if that shed has an electric fire I doubt insurance will cover it. You guys are awesome Farmers terrible electricians.

  5. Looks like you should look into tileing the fields n waterways. Keep them in grass, but a big 8in main would help, keep the hidden tire detaching holes under control.
    I don't 14g wire for electrical wiring in a shop. It's ok if each run of lights "3" was on its own 14g wires. Also in a shop only 3 to 4 outlets per breaker 18+g although you will not always pull a lot of power out of all the outlets at a time it should save you from a fire due to over loading. I'm not an expert at all. I just had issues in the past with overloaded circuits. House's are the worst, lights mixed with outlets, hole floors of the house on one circuit. Kitchen is always overloaded seams like. Do some homework and do what is best for you and how you want to protect your entertainment.

  6. What an incredible feeling that must be to finally have that dirt contour work this [ ] close to done. You've been taking about wanting to do this since this channel began. I'm right there with you on this one. HUGE improvement in functionality AND in appearance! 👌 Way to go Ron! 👏

  7. Make sure you let us know what happens
    with the lawsuit. We don't need to know the monetary results, but it would be nice to know what they wound up being responsible for.

  8. Cole, congratulations on the recent two most important events in your life. As a 60 year old man I rarely find the opportunity to say this about someone in your generation but I find you to be a very impressive young man. Keep it going!

  9. You’re going to hate those sensors as soon as you have equipment in there. It becomes very annoying having lights turn off and your motion doesn’t trigger them back on.

  10. Small box and a 3-phase contactor with 120 volt coil will control three light circuits in that box while remotely controlling the relay with 14 gauge wire because that's already there.
    Once which can then control one two or three circuits with one switch. If you only need two, they also sell 2 pole contactors.

  11. Next time pay the extra money to have it done right! Not you have a new messed up bin site and new messed up wiring in the shop. This revamping of the farm is starting off great

  12. The way your electrical panel looked in the last video you should not be doing wiring. That one of the worst electrical panel I have ever seen. If you ever have a fire your insurance won't cover you loss
