I come here often, And I'm not "coffin", For your jokes soften, This weary world. And I find that Pete, In your farm world neat, Brings us back to repeat, To see what you've unfurled!!! Remember, Pete, that two hundred and forty thousand of us love you and your dear family!!! Keep on keeping on!!! ;o)
Think we all want Pete to be our neighbor . You will never be sad .
yes . He seems to be a good neighbor. It seems he lives in an old established community, maybe even some kin folk round. He does'nt bother them and they don't get their kicks bothering him. I would like to be his neighbor. I wish I could say it was like that around here. So many folk want a taste of the "country life and buy a "three acre Minifarm". Nothing wrong with that but soon enough they want to control their little slice of heaven but also the 3,000 acres that joins them. Hello, I used to be a Licensed Real Estate Agent. Even though I worked for the Seller and I could puff a sales pitch Like "you can get the best sunrise you ever saw from here" . and "that big role of twine will make a good start on going around the world"; all that kind of hype. I would suggest they do the due diligence as well as spend the night in a pup tent. I-95 is only three miles from here and if the wind is blowing the right way you might hear it. There is a pig farm six miles away and if the wind is blowing the wrong way you might get a whiff of it. Of course the paper mills are 50 miles away. The one in the south is Savannah , the one in the east is Charleston. You might want to know that and not let your dreams be dashed. as can be expected, I did not do well as a Sellers agent. I went on to become a Consultant for the buyer. Generally , they were not looking for " a Home in the Country".
Always a good day to watch just a few acres. Thanks Pete
To me the most wonderful part of your videos is your relationship to your animals. Patty and her belly aching moans are drop dead hilarious.
When it's been a rough day at work, just tune in to just a few acres farm. Very relaxing, entertaining, non-commercial and very educational. Thank you for being real!!
I look forward to your videos every time a new one comes out!!!
Talk to your customers, educate them on the current realities… We are all aware of rising costs, I am sure they will appreciate your honesty. Prepare them for what’s ahead!!! 🐓🐖🐄
It's amazing how fast the piggers grow
I love the interaction with all the 4 legged family. I never tire of watching the animals, especially piggers.
Being on the consumer end of the livestock market watching your channel gives me a look at this market from the production end. Thank you for sharing your activities and insights. " Ya mean the patty in my cheeseburger doesn't grow in the back of the butcher's shop" 🙄
Pete, my favorite memories as a lad was going to my grandparents farm, your farm takes me back to a better time, something my grandfather did to entertain his pigs was to give them several old bowling balls to play with, they can't hurt them ,and his hogs loved it. I am always looking forward to your next vid. Thank you from Nebraska.
I would love to watch a video of pigs playing with bowling balls.
As a wanna be first generation farmer trying to figure out how to make it happen I’m very sad to see what’s happening with the economy. Keep up the good work Pete, you and your family really are living the American dream.
I said to myself when you left the crank on the gas can - you shouldn’t leave the crank in the barn- sure enough you needed it! Enjoy your videos😀
Last year I looked forward to Run Run Run. This year it's The Flight of the Valkyries. It makes me smile.
Is there a patron saint of starting? Yes, Saint Ether of the Flammable Vapors.
Hello from Colorado!!!
I said to myself "He's gonna need that crank!" but I'm glad it was only a short ways from the barn to go grab it! Love you videos and all the information/entertainment you provide. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Pete! Ken here from Nova Scotia. Just remember, anything that makes sense to any of us, don’t mean bean to lots of people out there. Raising prices seems to be the norm everywhere across the country. People have to understand that if your prices go up, their prices have to reflect that. . You look like you have way too much fun plowing snow. Lol.
Saw a post about how much gasoline prices have gone up. A twenty-something inner-city dweller posted, just get a bicycle with gears or ride public transportation. They don't get it that fuel costs factor into everything and the costs are accumulative. This is also the consequence of people being too far removed from their food's origin. The past two years affecting supply will add to this problem.
We are living in a scary world right now. Hate to think what the next generation will face. The cost of living is bad. I loosely shopped a year ago for woodland so I could build a hunting camp. The prices over doubled in a year.
Carol Zippel, Very true. When we were not well, we decided to use the for our groceries. They tried to switch out organic items for nonorganic ones that cost more. When I pitched a fit about the practice, they cancelled the order but made sure to charge me for their plus delivery s month later. The only reason they cancelled it was I had mentioned that I talked to card fraud before contacting Walmart customer service. I think they have done this so much that they do not want to rack up fees. We try to shop locally and regionally owned stores. I do not know how much longer we can afford to do so.
There's A GOOD 👍

I enjoy all your animal videos, as the rapport you have with them is great!
Hi Pete! I really enjoyed your video today. You have such a great way of enjoying life on a few acres., that is inspiring to me. You see the humor in everything, even the snow and your old Farmall tractor. You spread happiness even in these troubled times., because you are happy and and it makes me happy to see your joy in your everyday ife. And you asked if there is a patron saint for tractors that won’t start.? Yes, and I want to share my good friend, Saint Anthony, patron Saint of the lost-people, animals, objects and finding “lost/elusive” solutions to problems and help with solving them. He has helped me in countless ways over many years.Just a simple prayer: “ St. Anthony, St Anthony, Please come around. Something is lost and it must be found. Thank you St. Anthony.” then ask for what you need. You can also ask for miracles because He is known as a Miracle worker.
.
Keep the jokes coming Pete, your channel is about the last place left in the world for good clean humor!
Next you start the old tractor lol when it starts say IT'S ALIVE IT'S ALIVE! LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Like Frankenstein
I love your video's so much. I know I've said it before. But I just gotta say it again. Thank you. Your happy critters make my day sometimes. They are such a pleasure to watch. Happy pigs and happy cows are one of the greatest joys to behold.
Central Iowa here, 58 degrees and no snow. We're loving it.
The music build up, tractor stopping was marvelous lol
Pete Pete pete...you never cease to entertain us and make us laff...honestly your presentation is like we're right there with you. Hey ! I'm a farmall lovin gal ! I love watching your MD coming around ! She's a beaute ! Piggies look great ! Peanut ISSSS a peanut ! So cute ! All seems really well on your farm ....it's good to see ...like seeing the animals closer up. Titus is the man ! A suave fellow ...lolol....you sure know your stuff about your herd...lots to know and more to do...you are all good farmers ! Thanks for your humor and always teaching us and sharing life on the farm. God bless yall ! 🙂
You know Pete I think you have a real good helper, your wife Hillary!!!!!!!! She always seems to be out there with you doing her part.
I liked your enthusiasm when you started the Super A, but the reaction you had when it died was so funny. When we feed our cows and they bawl at us my wife says they need extra protein, and I say they want candy. Always enjoy your videos, thanks so much, have a safe and wonderful week.
Love you’re hay bomb and I’m thinking the pigs did to! The pigs are a lot of fun to watch I could honestly do that all day! Thanks Pete for sharing your farm with us it’s definitely a breath of fresh air!
If you’re going to play Ride of the Valkyries every time you plow snow with the A you need to get her a horned helmet!
I loved watching the pigs play with the hay
I've been watching your videos for about a year and a half now. I must say that this is one of my favorites, if not THE favorite. Thank you!
A seriously enjoyable heart-warming video. Thank you Pete, from London.
We decided a few weeks ago that we wouldn’t be doing pork nor broilers this year. The margins were too tight to risk committing to customers and seeing the feed costs go up even more. I think even just a few weeks later I am really glad we made that call hearing speculation for feed prices in this area expected by spring. Ouch!
So glad Richard Wagner showed up to help move snow! Your Dad jokes are great. TFS Pete and Hilarie. If you get get discouraged, look @ the homeless camps in Seattle. Life in KY is hard but thank God I'm away from all of that now. Learning a lot from your videos. Spring IS coming!
When I saw the weather report on Ryan Hall Yall channel, I thought about you and the other tubers I watch up there. I'm in NC and so ready for warm springtime. glad you got inches not feet of snow. Love the channel.
Ryan Hall Yall is the best! I just found him a few months ago during the last big snow storm in NW Indiana
@@plumberguy1689 totally agree. The downside is trying to explain his YT channel name when suggesting it to watch for weather info., Lol.
I run a small livestock farm, cows, chickens and pigs. Your channel is a God send. Please write your knowledge down and publish it. Salitan is great but you have a way of making sense of things people can relate too. Bless you sir. Continue the good work.
Pete:
The patron Saint of Farmers is Saint Isadore and I would imagine his prayer for you would include your equipment as well. Love your videos and your "down to earth" humor". Keep them coming !!! rpr
WHAM!! WHAM!!
Gets me laughing every time! 😀😀😂
Pete, that is exactly why so many farmers are now out of business! I know mostly about the dairy industry, and the price of feed, and the price you get from the milk and other products you produce, it left the family farm out! The super farms are pretty much what’s left!!
At least you have the option to raise your prices. I'm a total grain farmer. At the mercy of the board of trade and the elevator.
As soon as I saw you put the crank next to the gas can I said to myself he's going to wish he put that crank back on the tractor!!!!!!!!!!!
Your videos are an absolute joy Pete,Thank you.🤣🤣🤣
I was so happy to see a video for ME (lots of animals!). Hubby watches the ones with "mechanical" stuff---and I watch the farm "operations" ones. We both love your channel and enjoy how good natured you and Hillary are. thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us...
Also wanted to add----don't be so apologetic about raising prices. People understand. EVERYTHING is going up and there is no reason your product shouldn't as well. We buy from small farms and know we are getting a great product. It was one of the few price increases we didn't gripe about. .......
Hey Pete the saint of New Beginings is Elizabeth Ann Seton and she’s the first native-born saint from the US 😍
The patron saint of farmers is Isidore from Madrid Spain. 😊
Ah, thanks!
Even though a tough life, Im jealous of your lifestyle, in my mind it beats the 9-5 grind. I love the videos and keep up the great work
Lol I love when the music starts play when the Snowploughing starts 😂
We had an incubator just like that one you are throwing away. The only difference I could see was that ours had a little glass window in the top. My dad worked for the mosquito abatement district during the summer to supplement the farm income. When he was spraying a field that was being harvested and came across a nest of eggs that would be destroyed, he would bring them home and incubate them. We’d raise the chicks and release them when grown. Pheasants. It was fun. Dad loved all animals. Your price squeeze is exactly what made my folks decide to sell the farm. I’m glad you have a good plan to follow 😊
Love those bad dad jokes!!!!
"Third time's a charm," Pete!
I always enjoy your videos Pete. Keep them coming please.
The coffin joke was so funny to me 😆😅😂🤣
We have a same problem in Serbia. I fixed it with more self sufficient species, like ducks (instead of chickens). With free ranged ducks a have less costs, they grow quickly and use a lot of "wild food" like slugs, worms, grass, grasshoppers. Price of duck eggs is 30% higher than chicken eggs, and costs are 30% lower...
When Nature gives you a lemon, make some humorous videos! Lol Fun, fun. Or Dad jokes! ROFLMBO!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, funny seeing the little piggers ripping into the hay bomb!!!
I haven't been a viewer for very long but, this channel is my favorite. I'm amazed at how this whole operation is set-up. Their humane treatment of and reverance for their livestock is uplifting. Although Pete is the "brains and brawn" of the farm, his wife (Hillary) is his greatest "asset". What a great partner to have by his side. She's definitely not a "Green Acres" wife. Also, the whole family digs in to get the job done, when necessary. We're blessed to be able to get glimpses of their lives. Thanks!
You're going to want St. Isidore, the patron of farmers, in this case (and most every one for you).
I live alone, with just a dog and a cat. Groceries for myself has doubled in the last 2 years. I’ve had to cut back on meat and fish, which I usually eat a lot of, and I have to buy cheaper items which are lower quality. I’m lucky that my kids are grown and I only have to worry about myself. I feel for families right now.
I'm seeing prices rise at the grocery store also. It was bound to happen with COVID-19 and now the invasion of Iraq. We seldom eat in local restaurants however my cousins and I have a monthly meeting at a local restaurant and I have noticed the portions have gone down plus breakfast costs have risen 33%. They have very wisely chosen a balance between cutting portions plus price increase. My 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for you and the family for good health and sustainable profits. OBTW, I occasionally plagiarize your puns for my FB page. Hope you do not mind.
Happy Birthday Titus. Live long and prosper. ✌🇺🇸🖖
When she started up on the first click I was so happy for you
0:14 is a lovely postcard photo!
Love the Flight of the Valkries every time you plow snow, Pete!
Thank you pete for your excellent videos of which I'm still catching up with your early collection. I don't even switch my TV on now because I can't get enough of your rural life. Chris p from England.
a visual board showing what it cost last year to what it costs this year might help people understand exactly how and why the cost goes up ,I believe people want the quality that you give them so they will pay a little more to receive it .
Thanks Pete for another snow day video. I 've never lived in an area that gets this much snow EVERY year!! I have Great respect for you and Hilary working your farm, especially in today's economic state. God Bless you!
Love watching your videos. Am sure surprised at how much snow your little Farmall tractor pushes!
Your videos make me and my family very happy. Thank you for sharing and all the good work you do. Oh and thank you for keeping your animals so happy too !
And I thought I was ruffing it when the thermostat stuck open on my McCormick F-85 and couldn't get the heat in the cab to get above 45°. Thankfully it was 74°here today (NE,Ohio) And I got the thermostat and a new temperature sending unit installed. As for your pig cost, my supplier told me my cost has to go up 20% this yr. Or he isn't going to be able to continue. Thankfully we/he uses a butcher that hasn't changed his prices for cut,wrap,freeze for last 3 yrs. He's a small guy, 3 family employees and him self. So as return customers we all try to keep them going year round. Between Hogs, Chickens, Turkeys, And now deer. There staying as busy as they want. And to be honest with you, for the quality job they do, if they did raise the price. Id still stick with them. Because they've become extended family. And since I convinced them to get a 2nd set of cutting knives, And im sharpening these knives for them now and don't charge them a dime to help keep the cost down.
Have a great day, Pete!
There's a patron saint of lost causes... 😂 (Jude, just in case you were wondering).
I'm kind of glad that I don't live in an area that snows in the winter. Lol. Hi Pete n Hilary from Townsville in Nth Queensland Australia. 👍 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hi Pete, your farm reminds me of a Grandma Moses painting. It doesn't look like a lot has changed since her time. Quant and cozy.
Hi Pete, Feeding the cows is ok, But I'm with you, I like to hear the cows eating the grass!
Bummer on the snow! Now you get the fun of plowing it! It’ll melt soon and spring will come! That tractor gets the job done! Enjoy your talks with the animals
Exceptional use of Wagner on this fine Monday morning. I hear you on the feed and butchering costs. I worked out my numbers and I just got notice from the mill regarding costs going up this month due to trucking fees. For me it meant I'm out of pigs for the foreseeable future, the slaughter appointment is made, and I'll be shifting to hair sheep which require less grain input since they can make a living on forage. It also meant diversifying the poultry operation and cutting chicken numbers.
Hey Pete. You may want to check out how Takota Cohen from Alberta will mix hay up to 30% in his pig ration. He claims it lowers his feed cost, and has no detrimental effect on growth.
I think that small tractor you use for snow removal is so cool.
My wife and I recently moved the countryside and we were lucky to find a young small farm family to support for their efforts. They like you have poultry, pigs and cattle. We put our first beef order in with them this week. They also run their farm like you to give their livestock the best life possible.
Avian flue hitting many chicken and turkey operations in US now, so many farmers not buying chicks each year but switching to hatching their own and not bringing in any outside chicks.
Futures markets showing price of feeder cattle falling sharply and lean hog prices going up...looking like people moving away from beef towards pork. You might want to
add this into your database for decisions forward. Russian / Ukraine not exporting any grains until June this year. Then will appraise situation then. Strong grain prices until then.
The tractor stall made me chuckle... sure needed that today! Keep up the awesome videos.
I knew it would be a good one as soon as the Farmall A started. Piggers and a round bale. They were having too much fun.
I do enjoy watching the piggers. They do add entertainment value to your UA-cam videos. Something to think about when making your farming decisions. On another channel they sold a fan favorite unique cow. The farmer had said she would never get rid of that cow. The cow would make an appearance in most of her videos. They sold a truck load of cows and kept quite a few. Many comments some of which were pretty harsh. I’m not saying you should lose money to entertain us, only commenting on the abstract value of entertainment which you may wish to consider in making decisions.
Thanks Pete, Love the hay bomb.
Pete you are just what the doctor ordered “some good ole belly laughs “ . Good for the soul!!!!!
No coughing at the cough drops funeral LOLOL
Those pigs are just having a ball with that bale of hay. And little Peanut and gang sure do enjoy being able to fit between the bars to get to the prime pickings. Keep warm you two, spring is almost here!
Your happy Gilmore reference had me laughing!!!
Another great video Pete. You are like a mad scientist when an experiment goes right in this case when the Farmall starts and continues to run lol Your cows are so funny complaining about the hay in the pig pen. Those pigs are getting big.
How funny! I laughed and laughed at the beginning. Thank you!
Farming smiles, chuckles and laughter. Oh, not overlooking the occasional bad joke groan. Hehe!
I love all the colors of your pigs. I like there conformation too
I like to end my night watching your up beat videos. thanks
I like it so much because of the music super great Video
I come to see the animals, sure love the pigs to cute, i got to get me a peanut!!
I'm sure there's a patron Saint of tractors.
Pigs are fun to watch lol 😝
Pete, I love your videos and your dad jokes rock!😃
We have a customer for wine who have seen how much work is to take care of grapes and then make wine from them and he is now paying us 2€ for a liter of wine but we normaly sell it for 1.8€ per liter.
I think if customers will come and help on farm they will pay no problem twice as much per pound.
That little tractor works nice
Just the thing to start out a new week. Thanks my friends!
