"Idealism needs to be tempered with realism." Good words right there!
The value of this information is beyond compare.
Folksy. Direct. Simple. Served with authenticity and genuine caring.
Pete,
All so good eating
Pete, you are that rare combination of human who actually employs the ability to reason, problem solve and take action. All the while remaining calm and kind.
It’s what’s most lacking in the world today. Please carry on for many years.
U nailed it ,well put sir!
🎯❗
I like hanging out on the farm days
Covering the manure pile like last year was the second part of that no fly equation
I appreciate a man (and woman) who is not afraid of hard work and who finds the easiest and cheapest way to carry out his work projects. Kudos to both you and Hillary. Oh, I also appreciate a person who can laugh at himself. 👍🏻👍🏻
Watching and listening to the cattle grazing on the fresh green grass is such a peaceful- soothing experience for your viewers.
Hey Pete, on the subject of fly control! My grand dad's friend from 5 streets away had another friend who used to know a bloke who swore by rolling your left trouser leg up, standing on your head, covered in marmite, singing bat out of hell in Swedish- to do absolutely bugger all to keep flies away from rabbits. So now you know 😂😂😂😂😂
Umm..We will be calling you Pete soon ..NASA...Lol😂😅😅 Never A Straight Answer club. Good one Pete.. If a big light shows up in your pasture.. The welcome mat is out..
Oh, yeah that lady that keeps following you around...Is big keeper..
Pete! What are salt potatoes?
Keep those dad jokes coming!
Thank you to you both😎
Pete, my wife made a great analogy to you and your channel last week: she said that you remind her of Fred Rogers. A calming influence, with common sense and enjoyment of the simplicity of life at the forefront. I can’t think of any better compliment that anyone could give. I think that’s why your videos are so popular.
Right on!
We keep the dandelions and we make dandelion jelly ❤
Pete... you should tell your wife, "I dont care how many chicks show up at this farm, YOU're the most beautiful by far!"
Love your vidos, my friend! I wish the people on the farm i grew up on were half as kind and gentle as you!
Keep up the good work!
Mrs Hilary deserves a raise! 😂 . Love the way you both work together.
Good evening, Pete and Hillary, working to hard. All your animals look really good and healthy. Unfortunately, I don't like dealing with Dandelions or Flies. Have a great day-
Good lookin’ T-shirt you got there, Pete! Gig ‘Em!
At 5:43 there’s a rat on the back wall that jumps down to the next railing
Good eye
Very good eye !!! I had to rewind it a few times before I could see it. 🐁🐀🐁🐀
The cows must be in heaven. Dandelions to gorge on, flies alleviated, and the weather is not too hot.
I noticed the little chicks going to town on the dandelions also.
As for the dad joke... Pete, you're best in short form. 🙂 Love the channel, adore you and Hil.
As we, you needed that jolt to better your day....from an alien Canadian neighbor 😂
Pick those dandelions and make wine! My great great uncle made the best dandelion wine around from what I've been told.
Pete, once i got the 'Dad Joke' I laughed so hard it hurt! 🤣 Keep them coming! 🤭
never gets old you acting like you are getting shocked, always enjoy you and Hillary!!
Loving the tshirt! Texas A&M WHOOP!! 😅
You're camera fell over laughing. Must ave been a good joke then 🤣
We have some local recipes for dandelions (horseflower in dutch, "pee"flower in our local dialect). They are nutricious indeed! we use it as syrup and in pancakes. the leaves have a rucola-like taste. The flowers are filled with minerals and vitamins.
Lol Pete, when my husband was alive, God rest his soul, we would go places where people knew us, grocery store, etc, he would tell people that he didn't know me and our kids! He would say he just picked us up on the side of the road (all in good, clean fun). Of course everyone knew who we were!😂
♥️ drama free wholesome content
A very easy going and enjoyable video, in spite of the NASA joke. 👍👍👍
You get me every time with that fence 😂
Oh a new video! Time for a fresh cup of coffee and a sit down.
Thanks for the video Pete and Hilarie .👍
That Hillary is such a good partner. You guys make such a good team. 🙏🏻✌🏻
Pete you and Hillary are such a good team… your cows are so happy 😊as always thanks for bringing us along 😁 we even look forward to your lame jokes 😉
Wow, even the camera groaned at that one😂😂😂
Haha! Good comment!
Pete,your wagon for transporting and unloading the brooders is simply amazing. Hillary your gentleness the way you handle the broader is so nice to see. You both are very respective of all your animals. It's a big reason IMHO of why your channel is so successful.
Yes, I agree. It is very noticeable how much you both care A LOT for your animals...and they return the favour. It is very noticeable and healing to watch. Marcel from Saskatchewan.
Enjoy our videos! Keep up the good work!
Pete you're a hoot. Hillary is a gem. ❤️
Great Job Pete 👌!😇
I'm not the only one who thinks dandelions are tasty! And they are good for live stock to eat too. I actually wish I had more of them in my fields.
Hillary, my hat is off to you! Your physical strength is very apparent in hauling, lifting and sorting those bags of chicken feed, not to mention everything else you do in the employment of their care. Good work!
That was such a dad joke even the camera couldn’t stand it😂😂😂
"Apollo-G!" 🤣🤣🤣
Love it when "flies drop like flies," Pete! Great video! 🤗 Always a pleasure to watch. 👀❤
This message is for Hilary 😊: You are a Saint not because of how hard you work which you do, but yet to be putting up with Pete 😂 makes you an Angel 👼 in the making! ❤
You folks are awesome!!😁
The alien thing is Hilarious
I bet you could sell hundreds of those feed scoops now.
Glad you’re liking the new chicken pens….and dandelions are the best!! They taste good in breads and pancakes 🥞
Thanks for sharing your "Wonderland" with all of us. You both are so kind to your animals...and you create a calming atmosphere for your audience. Love your farm!! 😁
That super c must be your most used tractor on the farm Pete someone did a great job restoring it its PURDY!!!!
Thank you. I love driving it, it's so handy for most everything I do and it runs so nice.
😅😅 good one Pete!
I just realized that you are the new Johnny Carson for the nation but on Sunday morning. A calming light hearted dose of medicine needed by Americans that are overwhelmed by the stresses heaped upon us daily by the left. Thank you for salving or sores
The way the camera fell over during his alien dad joke, right as the punch line struck is pure comedy gold😂
The two of you put in a lot of hard work on your farm but I can see its very rewarding for both of you.
Hello happy Hillary, who takes such good care of "Hello I'm Pete.
Good looking broilers. They look lively.
Ha, we FELL for that. Thanks Pete.😂
I love you, channel Pete and Hillary!! I love seeing the two of you working together on the farm. My mom and dad would the same way... if it was a job to do they shared it to get it done quicker.
I agree with you. Also Pete on Keeping things simple. I think wisdom comes with aging and I know for myself I have definitely simplified my life in the last 15-20 years…. just for example when I had guests coming for a meal or weekend, everything had to be perfect and everything had to be beautiful and artistic on the table when I served the food and so forth. I realize at some point I was exhausting myself unnecessarily because everybody else was visiting and laughing, and I was cleaning up and working or getting ready for the next round. I don’t do that anymore. I might at Christmas time, but for the most part throughout the year, I keep my meals simple and I’ll tell you what, Pete I want you grilled those pork chops and less than 10 minutes and I’m thinking that’s how I should be food in a short amount of time. God bless you both and we’ll see you next time on a wonderful video… By the way, Pete, I love to laugh at your jokes…. Apollo - G.😀❣️😁
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Turkeys this Year Pete? I like the turkeys.
Don't let the Jibber-Jabber get you down Pete.
Good to see you all
love the shirt Pete. Gig 'em
Why do we not see Ms H driving one of the fantastic tractors? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pete, I think what you are onto is that the die of life is made up of many sides.
Balance, Happiness, and Contentment are all sides that make up the overall well being of a persons life.
I reckon there are more but we come across them in time or by heeding the wisdom from those trying to share the knowledge.
Thank you for sharing!
Addendum:
I also have a favor fencing pliers.
I thought the joke was so bad it had killed your tripod.
You’re an incredible human Mr Pete with a very blessed family.
I agree with you on dandelions, I like them on my property and so does my cattle. I use the back rub as well as the fly traps around my waterer. I enjoyed watching, nothing better than putting your cows on fresh grass, keeps them content. Thanks Pete, have a great day!
I LOVE your viedos pete! You look happier these days and that makes me smile. You (and your family) are such kind souls. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Cory!
Nice looking Chops on the grille. Pete sometime give us a rundown on the college Tshirts?
Pete, you make my day 😊
Good job guys and Ladies
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ great information ❤❤have a great day 😃
Thanks Pete, have a great week!!!
I liked watching Hilary put the Chickens on grass 'what's this'! I like greens, I think they do too! nice team work! Dandelions are beautiful! and liked your conversation of the plant.
I really enjoy your channel Pete. I’m not a farmer but I like watching you & Hillary farm. Have a great week.
I remember you guys having the feed deliveries for the chickens and the pigs. You guys have down size quit a bit! I like how you guys are balancing work and personal time.
We have downsized, except for cattle. I reached 55 last year and decided it was time.
Even the camera had a tough time with that joke. 😂 I’ve been adding Dandelions to some bare spots in yard and under trees. Cheers
Man, I love this channel! It brings back so many memories of days on the farm in years, many years past.
17:25 When I was a young lad in high school, my extended family members would always ask me what I wanted to do after I graduated. What my life plans were. I had no idea, so I decided to tell them I wanted to be a "dandelion farmer".
It usually got a good laugh... but the irony is that, as I neared retirement, I decided to buy a farm... and one of the first products I made part of my business model were greens for some of the fancy restaurants in town. Three of my customers specifically requested dandelion greens.
Now you'd think that this would be a simple task... just go out and grab them from from the lawn... but it turns out you gotta pick them at a certain stage of development. This means being more selective with which leaves I harvest from each plant, which equates to having to visit more plants to get the right leaves. On top of that, the marmots, rabbits and deer prefer the exact same leaves... so I am constantly racing to get at them before the critters do.
I'd bet that many of your viewers are saying "Salt potatoes??". Also dandelions are an early and favored source for honey bees and the big boys tell me that dandelions also make a decent wine. Your channel is terrific!
The right mix, "when you know then you know". Some other channel shared the same words. 20:20 👌
now you have the new toy so you can run water lines so no more hoses.
Good morning Pete. We just love watching how well you and Hillary work together. As always thank you for taking the time to make the videos you make, we enjoy them all.😊
Your jokes. I always have to run and tell my wife. No matter how bad I'm hurting I gotta go tell her
Wow you two really.chow.down.
Thank you farmer Pete and Hillary for all you do, these videos keep us motivated 🎉❤
Thanks for the video time, Pete!
Good morning.
My Dad use to make dandelion wine. We kids did a lot of picking. 😅😅😅
Thanks Pete and Hilary. Enjoyed the video. "Apollo-gee"! Terrible! HaHa.
Lots of Spring optimism on the farm.
You know, when you said 'box of chicken', that is not what I had in mind. 😂
Looking good Pete. Soon the hay season starts and it's gonna be epic. Racoons are annoying but same can be said for foxes. They can dig into chicken coups and wreck havoc. Cute animal but not so much cute when a substantial portion of your laying hens are gone. Always enjoy Patty yapping on you for not giving her the attention she deserves 😊
We are getting the kids ready to end the school year and a perfect video to show to get them excited about what they'll be doing in the fall, especially since we ordered their chicks today! Some of them screamed ( as usual) when you once again electrocuted yourself. It's really cool for them to see you and Hilarie setting up the chicken paddock just like they do! The alien joke? Mercy, the groans... But we're still your extended classroom! Blessings on you both!
Nice pastures you have there, I won't take afence to it but you can. lol
Lots of Arm Chair Quarterbacks who have never raised cattle or any farm animals. Pete I learn a lot from you and Hillary. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Keep up the good work .
Hi pete i love red tractors and your restorations are magnificent keep up the great work
Pee and Hilary, Thank You Both for taking along on your active work schedule of setting up the 3 week broilers on the grass to finish them up in 6 weeks. Electrifying the perimeter fence to keep the racoons and foxes at bay. Good pasture management with the cattle works great and soon the calving will begin in earnest. Enjoy your week from Pete from New Brunswick Canada
Dandelion greens with hot bacon dressing was our spring go to at my grandparents house along with ham and boiled and browned potatoes
That sounds really good!
when i was young we use to eat dandelion greens
I just love you guys!
Dandelion is edible, the whole plant! Anxiously waiting on your spring calves!! Enjoy Sunday mornings with Hilarie and Pete.
