I admire how much care and dignity you dedicate to digging graves. I am sure the families appreciate the respect you so for their loved one. ❤

You are one of the cleanest farmers. Vacuuming equipment. Bathing dogs, organizing the cemetery correctly. A car cleaned works better so does equipment, it last longer, like your old formal tractor, remember your papa equipment.

HELLO FROM WAVERLY IA. Love the videos. Keep ‘em comin! Just wish they were longer. I also farm and dug graves at a local cemetery also. We got to a point we would have to move stones to get around. Get heated blankets for the ground.

It sounds like whoever was laying out the plans for the cemetery isn't real good with math and spatial relations ! 🤔 Maybe you need to draw them out a little map and put dimensions of the equipment needed to dig graves. What's the only other option, digging the grave sideways with a mini excavator ?

I honor the respect you have for the deceased loved ones keep it please! Far too many see graveyards/cemeteries as nothing but cash cows. I respect your mentality sir 👍🏻

Good video !! Always good to see you. I worked at a cemetery for 44 years I was just wondering if you ever thought of putting a piece of plywood down next to the grave for your spoils make it a lot easier to clean up and did you ever consider a breaker for your skid steer to use on the frost in the winter works good 👍👍.

Good to see you Grandpa Cornstar. I hope you guys get the cemetery figured out. I have noticed here in KY they are all full almost as well.

Love your heart for people! Nice to see so much care for a sometimes thankless job.

Yes another great video from daddy cornstar keep them coming dc

I am always amazed that you dig through the frozen ground to do burials in the winter. Here on the east coast of Canada, we do very few burials from January until April. How do you even know where the plots are with the flat stones under four feet of snow. The funeral homes keep the remains stored until April/May.

I had no idea MC was a streetwalker. 😜 Thanks for cleaning up the environment though, for real.❤️

Love the cornstar family keepem coming daddycornstar

Daddy Cornstart you've really gotten comfortable on camera since the beginning. Glad to see you putting more out on your channel as well. Good job! Good video.

Love you Daddy Corn Star. You are the man. Always enjoy your videos. Take care and stay cool this summer 🌞🌞

We bought a mini excavator for our township cemetery just because of the same problems. It’s expensive yes but definitely helped out a bunch. The backhoe just became way too cumbersome.

I'm 81 yrs old and when I was in my early teens back on the farm, we planted beans every three years after corn just for the nitrogen and plowed them under, there was hardly any market for them.

You do good work 😄. Love your videos ❤

New. Set up wagon, should help, for efficiency. Nice. Stay cool up there on wagons.

I hope you're proud of that farm and the kids. It's a dream come true. The beans are just Perfect and so Healthy and Lush. All the work's really 'paying off in spades'! I hope you can remedy the lot spacing, it's real important! Prayers.

Another entertaining video DC. You make farming fun and informative!

Yes on keeping it clean!

Noticed in a local graveyard that they’re now putting headstones back to back and 9 foot to a 4 ft footpath and 9 feet to the next set of headstones . They use a mini digger to dig the graves . Also building 6 -7 ft high stone walls in a separate area with rows of small vaults for cremation urns .

I love it when Daddy Corn Star has a video on just makes me so happy❤, Ellie you need a bath with DC 😅

Awww Ellie!! Ohh I do hate when they roll in something dead! 😆

great video Dc. thank you

Your reverence for digging graves and your 'on screen' interactions with your family says a lot about your quality of character. I'm sure there are some behind the scenes things that happen that we never hear about. I'm 65 years old, my father died 52 years ago. Your children are lucky to have you and you are lucky to have them and your wonderful wife. Thanks for allowing us into your world, it helps restore my faith in families.

Have you ever considered backing onto the trailer to help protect the glass? Also our city has purchased a mini excavator to use in our cemetery. It makes life easier on the guys digging graves.

Thanks for farming for us. Have a good evening.

Darn dogs always looking for perfume, Sable working in the cemetery was alway a highlight.

Your beans look fantastic. I was really surprised how deep it was dry when you dug that hole with the tractor. I thought you were doing well in the rain department.

Good to see you guys

Great job again. Very enjoyable video. God Bless

We love daddy cornstar ❤❤

We have 4 graves in each 8ft x 21ft lot with a 4ft walk way around each lot. But since the wife and I took over out local cemetery, I am find out that people are buried in walk ways. There was markers to find where the rows are. Great video

Good show today D.C. ! 👍

We got the new part of graveyard where we cemented a ribbon. So for mowing, setting grave stones, digging.. it’s set. The width is set.

Great work GDC!

Another great video D.C.

Love you MC and DC!

As always very fast paced and entertaining. Yep need to attach that camera like an appendage. You wouldn’t go anywhere without an arm or a foot. 🤣

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

Vault guys can build over those stones. I dug graves here for the last 20 years. 9 foot is plenty for vaults, and very good for digging with the mini excavator..

I have family interred at a veterans cemetery. The graves are practically on top of each, no room between them. Head stone is only approximately 6 1/2 ft between head stone and the end of where the feet should be. I have wondered if the coffins are placed long wise to ensure the coffin will fit. Our veteran cemeteries are becoming over crowded with the honored dead!

The glass on my track loader is bullet proof ( pretty much ). Have to get that done if you get a forestry mulcher ( _I have a Battle Axe_ ). Maybe look into getting the forestry mulcher glass for your machine?

Beans are lookimg great, around here (central Indiana) the beans have closed up for the most part ans are looking great. Just might have a good yeld for beans this year. Awesome videos.

I hope you didn't get Ellie's dog stink on the steering wheel of Cooper's truck ! 😉😂

Can put window film on skid loader,reduces breakage. In cemetery have areas only for cremation sort of grid like between big sites

They do have ballistic glass for your skid steer. Hope you can figure out a rock block for your window!

I know in Maine and new Hampshire the caskets have to stay in a wall vault until the ground thaws.

Good job DC..

Having a hard time sleeping and was thinking about this video from the other day. I know the easiest solution would be to make sure the plots are spaced correctly. I have no experience with grave digging, machinest by trade. I was at a stop light few weeks back, there was this guy using a machine to vacuum the dirt out of a hole. Think its called hydro excavation? Would that work in the grave yard? The capital purchase would alot but maybe help get into tight spaces? Keep up the great work. Cheers from Wisconsin.

it would be interesting to see how many acres some of those cemeteries are that you dig for. I work for our local Cemetery Commission and the two cemeteries we maintain and dig the graves for, we have our lots set up to be 10 feet head to foot and 8 feet side to side in the new sections. Our older sections are 30 foot head to toe and 15 feet side to side. Our largest cemetery is around 65 acres and was founded in 1876 and the other active one is around 45 acres and was founded in the early 1900's. But there are graves and lots that were sold 50 to 100 years ago that are family lots and we are still putting people in them and we also have a hard time getting to some of them. But one thing that helps us is we have a Mini Excavator at the one older cemetery and a backhoe at the other. And we can move them back and forth if needed. So it might be something your family may want to look at getting to help dig in the tight spots. And maybe something to mention to your Commission for the new sections is alternating the types of stones that can be placed. Like right at the road/path be flat, then upright, then another row of flats, on across the section. That helps from time to time to make it easier on us also.

I love your videos!

Design before function 🙄 Always good to do like you suggested DC, have a talk and plan for the best solution for everyone.

Looks like really great dirt.

Great job

great video dc

"A more active cemetery?" So funny....

Hi Daddy Cornstar - you just showed up on my feed. I watch you on Cole's channel!

Good evening DC!

Billstmaxx can't show digging Graves anymore so we got to come here now. Thanks for showing us.

2:15 Gave me my first laugh of the day.

Use string lines for the graves. Are you corner or center pin? I have seen stuff go in in a lot tighter spaces. If Wilbert is your vault co they can work with a single inch.

Yes,yes Cemetery . Thank you. (Naaman, Indiana)

We understand Daddy Cornstar, keeping up with Cole you have to keep tabs on him and forget the Camera.

Thank you DC! God bless your family! Don’t tell Cole, your videos are better than his! Lol

Pretty sure you can get a Lexan Windshield, they use them when running forestry mulcher’s

Good looking soil.

Great video

We’ve always know you were a softy but talking about giving Ellie a shower proved it! Growing up without a Dad after age 4 due to a car accident you make me realize what I missed out on.

Wow might have to go back to manual digging 😧 because of the headstones. nice to see mama cornstar and ellie mae.

i work for a professional cemetery service out of wisconsin. just pick up and move the stone you can put them back.

I’m no farmer but man that looks goooood

Them beans definitely look nice and thick and all really level no dips or yellowing anywhere

The problem is that technology is moving so fast that you have trouble adapting from old to new. Hope you have good crops this year

Small blue tarp🥰

You need to order a ballistic rated window for your skid steer. You have to have them when running those cylinder stump grinders.

Is there a reason a tarp wasn't put down first to make for easier cleanup

R u guys doing ok with the smoke haze out there, I’m having to stay indoors. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's a good thing Cole didn't knock you off the top of the tanks. You might have had to cut his monthly allowance !

put a board down to put the dirt on. makes it easier to fill hole and less dirt on the lawn

D.C. your a hoot.

DIG'M BY HAND POP 😂

Hi Mama Cornstar ! 🩵

Every job has its boring times but it is still a valuable part of the job.

Daddy Cornstar! NASCAR spray tender pit crew champion!

I was wondering why you dig graves in the winter time, here in upstate New York they wait till spring to do it

Daddy cornstar they do make a glass for that , that is bulletproof believe it or not there twice the price of that one though

DC is just a natural, a corn star that is a rock star.

Sounds like BobCat or John Deere need to design a grave digging machine that will straddle the gravestones like a Cole's crop sprayer straddles the corn stalks and dig the grave like your winter machine does...just a thought.

Comment on the graves. In the Veteran’s cemetery, when they are built, the first 6 feet are scraped off over the entire area. Then the vaults are placed side by side and head to toe. After that the top dirt is replaced on top of the vaults. When a grave is dug you would only be digging to the vault, remove the lid, drop the casket, replace the lid and then cover. Normal cemeteries are not flush with money enough todo this. Also veterans are also buried in the next grave available, no choice on location. A funeral director told me this. He also taught me that is better to be “seen” than “viewed”.

Mr. Cornstar. I dig graves for a living. And would be happy help out as much as I can. There’s always a way to dig a grave and always a way a vault guy can set up. Need some tips just let me know. Keep up the good work

They make window for brush cutting that are made to take hits

Make future headstones with hinges. Simple idea

I see the problem at the cemetery. Are all the plots laid out and marked? I assume you have a probe rod? Those sure come in handy. I'm the trustee and on the board of our old family cemetery, and we've all been ending up there since the 1820s. We have a different problem. All the old families have moved away or died out, and they have their funerals and nobody is buying new lots. We are only 8 aces and we have a lot of unsold and unused lots left, and we even have 4 acres to the South that we lease to a farmer, and that' lack of activity really hurts the money we get out of our trust fund. I am happy to know that you guys take care of a couple of them. It takes a special kind of person to so that work. I had to go to our cemetery early after my mom died at age 95 and mark where the place for the back hoe to dig. Mom had it set up in her estate that some was to go to the cemetery association, and she preferred people making donations to our cemetery instead of sending any flowers. Those donations were a big help to us as our upkeep and lawn budget has normally been close to 10k/year. I suppose it's like President Clinton quipped one time, being President was like running a cemetery: You're over everybody but nobody is listening.

I've seen propane hoods burning overnight in the winter too thaw the frost.

Oh yeah, a DC Video!

I would love to hear this guy do a Matt foley (Chris Farley) motivational speech. He could make millions. Hats off to him for doing a good job. Thank you.

So why did you throw a tarp down to make clean up easier.?

Keep it up daddy cornstar
