Small Farms and the Tyranny of Idealism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лют 2022
- Modern small farms are idealistic endeavors that often go against the flow of mainstream agriculture and society. It takes an idealist to have the vision to found a small farm, but it takes a blend of idealism and realism to make it a successful business venture. How do we reconcile the two? And this all begs a larger conversation, about what I call the current "Tyranny of the Unreasonable" in modern society, and my hope that reason (and reasonableness) will someday prevail.

I respect you, Pete. You state your beliefs, you are transparent regarding your methods, and you strive for understanding. Reasonable people can’t ask for more than that.
Pete, I just love listening to what you have to say!
Professor Pete. I enjoy coming to your "class" more than most. I miss being able to just talk to people honestly. Sometimes it may get heated but respecting another's right to have an opinion, even if it is wrong, is necessary to being able to debate without hate. Are people so smart they can never learn something new, never have missed something important to consider or heaven forbid - be wrong. It is the self deception of many and that is dangerous. Another really thought provoking video. I like using my brain. Thanks.
Exactly. Why can’t people just have different opinions, but still remain civil?
I’m sorry to say that people have lost there respect for other people and instead of it being we are doing something, it’s me or I doing something and it’s the only way. I was raised to respect other people, whether right or wrong WE along need to regain that in our children and families.
My belief is "every day is a school day..." & I'm 64 &, STILL learning... 😎👍☘🍺
Hi Pete. You, along with my local farmer friends (I call them my old man farmer friends, who I truly believe, are my spirit animals) have such an influence on how I grow my farm. I am new to farming. 2.5 years in. I bought a house out in the country on 5.5 acres. When I bought the property, I was a city girl looking to get away, not knowing I would end up being a part time farmer. I started out with 6 baby chicks, and here I am raising eggs, meat birds, turkeys, meat goats and dairy goats. This year I plan to get a few feeder pigs, dependent upon finding a butcher.
My day job allows me to live the life I love with my farm. I would eventually love to live my farm life full time, but I am okay if that doesn't happen. I'm a believer that one should do what they love in life, or life isn't worth living.
You and Hillary are such role models for me and we share the same beliefs. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your honesty, opinions and knowledge.
One day, I hope to see you at the farmers market.
Thank you for being you and all that you share with us. From Forever Farms in Pavilion, NY.
Agree 100%. Keep doing what you're doing!
nothing like being happy with yourself
I too add my congratulations to your 'farm' and living. Blessings.
I couldn't express it better! Pete for President!!
I went to a “Farm to Market” discussion group yesterday hosted by our County Extension with farmers from all over the Big Horn Basin here in Wyoming, and the overwhelming theme was “I’ve got a great product. How do I find and consistent consumer base, and get it to them on a regular basis so I can make a livable wage?” Heritage grain growers, dairy farmers, chicken and egg farmers, produce farmers, all want to know the best ways to build and serve a customer base, when all they want to do is farm. You have an excellent perspective and feel for business. Many farmers or idealists don’t. I love your message: Figure out the most efficient way to make a living wage doing what you love without being part of the mediocrity and be consistent with it. Oh and do it so you can sleep at night. That’s the mature perspective, and I’ll bet your experience in Architecture, finding the balance between resiliency and efficiency, helps with finding that balance.
The biggest challenge to today’s farmer is the big sometimes government backed farm buyouts look at the pig industry’s Chinese buyout think it won’t be long before you see a price fix in favor of the Chinese. Or the shear buyout of the farm land by the ultra rich these two groups are where the farming of the future is headed and they don’t care about the final product just the price. Beware America new world order the fix is in.
Pete: You are truly the voice of reason for the small farm world. If even just a few folks understand and take to heart your positive and practical discussions, fewer new farmers will fail and the world will be a little bit better place for your efforts.
It's so great having someone who's got analytical abilities combined with being able to articulate the many complex factors involved in a digestible way. I like how you weigh into the narrative balance instead of a myopic perspectives. Civility: a totally lost art, and your rationality in the only way we'll ever return to that. Great work, as usual.
This is by far the most indep and just straight out truth on how things are. That's why I love watching Pete bc he's just honest and a joy to watch.
Yes, I totally agree!
I appreciate that you addressed my questions, and I respect your choices. I just wondered what influenced your decisions and how your business compared to others in your market. My issue about what is in feed goes back to when the FDA finally pulled Roxarsone, a chicken feed that contained arsenic that remained in the meat which was produced for people, and Paylean in pig feed used by industrial pig farming. There was another story more recently of a drug that the FDA pulled off the market for human use, and now its being added to cattle and pig feed but I can't remember the name, but the report stated the drug was carrying over into the meat being sold for human consumption.
For animals that can be grass fed, grass finished I would feel responsible to raise them that way, though I know it isn't always possible. The farmer I buy my beef from (1/8th or 1/4 beef at a time) states his are grass fed... "mostly", and admits there are times they are given grain. Now, I understand using pellets to help move cattle in much larger numbers than @Just a Few Acres, so I can see where there are times you need to give grains. And of course for chickens and pigs, I know its not feasible to grow enough fodder... and have it be at the right protein content needed for each breed. You need to buy feed. Hell, I have to buy feed for my 5 backyard hens. On my scale, its an easy decision to buy organic and keep my fingers crossed the feed is clean of medications, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, and preservatives. I guess I wondered how such a strong environmentalist could buy GMO feed. I guess in all things we have to find a balance we can live with. Thank you again for addressing the question and allowing conversation in your comment section.
thank you!
sometimes youre the dad that just tells us what we need to hear!
Thanks for stating a truth that too few are willing to accept. Everything that we consume somehow has to be produced by a profitable provider in our overall economy. There is almost no answer for the true idealist because no economy is really developed with the idealist in mind. There are enough idealistic people that will support higher priced products that are grown locally or organically; however, this is usually only a percentage of our more affluent citizens who can afford to pay more for their ideals. For good or bad, that doesn't represent the majority of our citizens.
Bob mottet
Thanks for the common sense. I appreciate what you do and what you talk about. Keep it up. We all need to hear it. In Louisiana
Whole foods does well but I know too many people that loved it and now call it whole paycheck. People will buy specialty products until they wont.
Food for thought, so to speak... Thanks, Pete!
Hey Pete, Great stuff today. I think we all should have a moral code and their are certain things that we should stand for even when or if no one will stand with you but many many areas were we need to have flexibility.
Someone gave me some great advice once. He said, "Be absolutely flexible were ever you can, and be absolutely rigid wherever you can't."
If people know that you care about them and are willing to bend and move for them in most areas of your life they will have more tolerance and respect for those things you feel you have to be rigid on when they encounter them, and perhaps you then will have more influence in those areas.
Thank you. Please , don't change.
And there you have it. The current condition of humanity summed up in forty seconds, starting at 15:10. Bravo, Pete.
totally agree
Bravo !
Thank you for being you and voicing your opinion.
We do eggs, turkeys and pork.
I drive 1 hour one way, to get non GMO feed, grown by the amish and at a lesser cost of most Mills in my area and still have people complaining that the feed is not certified organic. We don't charge premium and we don't charge bargain prices. We do custom exempt for the pork and love it.
We have a waiting list for eggs, turkeys and pork and will not push the livestock load on our land.. regardless of profit.
You keep doing you and telling bad dad jokes.. I love it.. my dad was the master of bad dad jokes and I enjoy every one you tell.
I am one of the “out west grain farmers” and I really like the line you said, just doing my best with what I can to survive. 2022 will be my 3rd crop I am also looking to diversify and add some livestock to my operation (mainly to provide for my family and other close ones) I love the videos Pete can’t wait for the next one !
I am 76 years old grew up in the west live in amish County in Indiana like to buy local don't care for all grass feed beef. Love watching you and your small farm. We just need to remember wisdom in all things.
Pete, you are such a wise man! I love your insights. Hi Hilary!
Hi Pete, I have raised my children on three basic principals I learned from being in the Marine Corps. Treat others with Duty, Honor and Respect and most of the time it will be returned to you. When i listen to you speak I hear the idea's and ideals that i have lived my life by. Thanks for being the voice of reason in a somewhat unreasonable time.
How do you treat others with duty?
I love you farm, what you have done to rebuild the family home, the animals, etc.I am an old lady next month will be 95 years old. When I was a child my Grand parents had what I called a truck farm. They had one horse , a herd of goats, sold goat milk, bees, fruit trees , all kinds of berries You get the picture! My job was grinding horse radish, picking berries, brushing Grandmas longhair and washing Grandpas spit toon. We lived down the lane from them. Mom had a Jersey milk cow, chickens and geese. We slept on. Feather beds.Grandpa worked at an electric co. I am watching all the videos even you working on your farm tractors you never know!!
Thank you so much for this! Your candidness about idealism vs reality is very appreciated. We are still getting started and this hit aom many things that we have discussed in trying to not get too far ahead of ourselves.
Spot on Pete!!!! No attack here.
My parents, grandparents, great grandparents and so on back to the old country were farmers. We had a 300 acre grain farm in central Illinois. Dad sold off 100 acres to pay off farm debt. He figured out a long time ago that unless you farmed a full section (700 acres) you can not really make a go of it. He sold all the equipment and lease/shared the fields. My brother and I left the farm to join the Navy when we graduated High School. My two sisters manage the farm now, I say manage because they don't actually farm. Grain farming is very expensive. Along with the price of seed comes fertilizer, herbicide, insecticides, grain storage costs, property taxes, insurance, fuel costs, equipment maintenance costs. That does not even touch the price of tractors, plows, planters, combines which can reach upwards of over a million dollars, used. The price of grain at the commodity markets have always been low and the only hope is highbred grains that will has high yield harvests, but that costs go up yearly even without inflation.
Farming is not for the faint of heart. You are just one step from the bank foreclosing because of too much rain, not enough rain, hail storms, field fires, equipment breakdowns, health issues. Those that complain about crappy corn or beans and demand to have organic farming have never farmed. You yourself outlined why you are cutting back on pork production grain farming is not different except their is no alternative grain for them to fall back to.
I guess we could grow hemp, grandpa grew 40 acres during the war as an alternative to manila shortage because the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. but the potency of Midwest weed is very low.
Great Job explaining your thoughts. The last few weeks I have watched your more conversational videos, and I feel that you are very reasonable. If only there where more reasonable people on social media.
I thought a good amount of people get on social media just to argue and agitate on purpose
@@robertsmith1865 Some people get off on being agitators!
You are one of the most articulate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you for sharing.
Well said Pete..... everyone at the end of the day has to provide for their family. Love the deep thoughts. And yes we need civility back.
Genuine is always better than popular! Excellent video Pete I think you hit the nail straight on the head here. 🙌
Thanks Pete for some wise advise. Always great to hear your thoughts on farming and society.
Every time I have considered starting my own business, I have done this sort analysis, and each time I am left scratching my head wondering how people make a living starting their own business. :) You have to have a passion, a drive and, yes, a willingness to compromise your ideas. I do pottery as a hobby and people ask me all the time if I am going to sell my pottery. I just smile and say "no".
After watching this I'm going to be a little nicer to everyone today. Thanks!
Thanks for being such a reasonable human being. We miss people like you!
Excellent!
great timing pete. I'm a grad student who has been sitting around dreaming of starting a small permaculture farm back home in Texas. I have a lot of time before I get there so I need to keep some of these things in mind and try to prepare myself for the real deal. It helps having a partner who is always grounded and wise. these kinds of videos help too. I appreciate it.
I watch this channel for the awesome down to Earth discussions like this.
The cows, chickens, pigs and general farming stuff is a bonus! Thanks Pete!
You are correct Pete! Just continue to be you and don't let the unreasonable people get you down.
Pete right amen!!!!!!!
"Just making a living like we all are. Doing it the best way we can with the best of modern science" . I agree with your philosophy. I spent my life in the paper industry where people complain about deforestation and the residues from bleaching, yet spend their money on multiple copies of the whitest paper possible. All that seemed to be certain was: "The customer has no supplier loyalty". In other words - sell it to me at the lowest price as long as you only impact others. i.e. the NIMBY syndrome.
I appreciate your channel. Please keep the varied comments coming.
Never mind the dang keyboard warriors who are willing to tell you how you should be living your life.
God bless you and yours, including all the critters.
I think that unreasonableness is coming to an end. You can see changing all over the world. People are standing against it. Hopefully, well come full circle eventually. I enjoy watching everything you do and discuss. I think most people will agree with you.
History seems to always repeat itself. Many stand for freedom while others who want to control and consider themselves "elite" want to demonize and squash those who stand up.
Bravo Pete Bravo!!! You speak the truth if we want to hear it or not and I really respect that ! We need more honest people like you in this world Pete you truly are a treasure truly! Thanks for everything you do!
Great points!
None of our egg customers ask us what grain we feed. They only care about how long the eggs were stored before they got them and pay extra for eggs that are less than 24hrs since being laid.
I have 3 signs I made above my computer that I have learned from life lessons and watching others. They are "Idealism vs Reality", "LIFE is not in black and white but in shades of grey" and "Life is a compromise but how much depends on you". Pete the great thing about you is you share what you believe and have learned in life and then give you opinion about it and at the say time you make your point and not put anyone down whose opinion would differ from yours. Thank you for being you and bringing up those cans of worms that many may think about but have no idea how to broach the subject without offending someone. Have a great day and stay warm.
Great comments. You are very brave to be so “transparent”. Maybe that attitude is more what we need, idealism tempered with realism. However, I always harken back to the idealism that created and have sustained the lives of freedom that we appreciate and sometimes we have to stand up and act for ideals. It’s a balancing act, do your best with what you have and as much as you can. Teach by example, listen, and accept. Thanks for what you do and say.
First an last ,, I love ur comments , I struggle as a military retired disabled vet. I struggle as a hobby farm gentlemen.. thanks for the encouragement. I am a idealistic minded keep to the original txt of when to grow and reap .. hahahh now if I can only make a self sustainable farm .. I will have meet my life joy ..hahah wake up everyday expecting the best . Challenge the worst .. and I will see the benefit. Thank u sir
It’s amazing what you learn in a previous lifetime which helps you succeed in your present endeavor. Understanding business, learning how to deal with people , using your selling skills, being able to see the big picture and where you fit into it . Thank You Pete for your insights ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Pete for a down to earth perspective!
We enjoy ALL your videos. Thank you, for stopping in!! We appreciate your knowledge and wisdom! GOD Bless!
We Love it. Keep up the good work.
At first I thought you were going to crush small farmer's dreams. Then watching your video further, I realized you were simply telling us dreamers to deep dreaming, but be realistic about it. You explained what farmers have done for generations. My dad was a small farmer. He and my uncle owned 80 acres and rented 220 acres; 80 acres of which were formerly owned by my great grandpa. Dad also raised a few hundred hogs on contract for a bigger farm. We also bought live hay from landowners who let their ground grow as pastures without livestock. Much of our grain was divided between our livestock and being sold on market. At one time dad had what we'd call organic today, pasture raised hogs. The only time these hogs were cooped up was to be bred and to farrow.
You mentioned up ending your market in someone's unfortunate idealistic way. I still remember how many headaches this caused when certain producers of certain products decided to suddenly change their business. It left the customers scrambling to find the products they so depended on! Doing that is a good way to completely destroy a farm's reputation, as word gets out on how un trustworthy that farm becomes. You made a good point on transitioning rather than suddenly changing. This helps your customers find other sources of their needed product, and keeps the farm's reputation intact. In the modern age, farm's must have a good public relations department.
Pete, you hit the nail on the head with this one! You just put a well laid analysis on so many aspects of life. Business, farming, furniture sales, you name it, we have to find a balance to be profitable in that maintaining stability in the market we live in. Notice I said "live in". Idealism may become a religion to some and that is when they become radicals. Time and again I've seen that no market withstands radicals for long.
Thanks for the peek behind the curtain - I get a vicarious thrill watching your videos as well as a dose of reality. I am one who would like to do what you have done but understand there is more to it than you think. We all would like things the way we want them but it may not be realistic, productive or a good way to support yourself. The business of a spectrum is good insight and as long you are not doing harm and can live with your decisions and make a living, you are doing well. Keep up the good work.
Hi Pete im new to the channel only seen a couple of your videos and can i just you and your wife seem to be the most down to earth and honest people ive seen. this was a great video thank you. and a side note ie been thinking of starting a small farm and what you said in this makes sense and is an eye opener thank you.
Thank you, Pete for the helpful information! It gave me the “big picture” view that I needed for our farm. On 5 acres, we will probably produce enough grass and hay for our 2 Dexters. We were trying to figure out how to avoid buying grain for our pigs and chickens. The way I see it, it is nearly impossible to go without grain in the winter time. Self-sustainable farming is a good idea, but there is a spectrum, on which we find ourselves.
As a fellow architect, grandson of farmers, former denizen of Ithaca, and aspiring farmer/rancher, I appreciated SO much your message in this video.
My day has been made! Thanks Pete! ❤️
I’m a Small dairy farmer here in southwest Ohio I’ve been watching you for a while now I’m not sure we would agree on a lot but I’m glad we agree that most farmers are good and “real” people just trying to get by most not even making a good living just trying to get to that next year. I love what your doing over there hopefully your kids and descendants will keep it going a couple hundred more years!
Keep your head up, Pete! The sound of discouragement is in your voice. You have a great career and a great fan base....me included. Most importantly, you have a great head on your shoulders for farming reasonably and you love what you do. I believe in what you're doing and so do so many!
I nodded my head as the idealist you were describing here. We started our farm to primarily feed our family, and we may eventually want to do it full time but for right now we are glad to have another business that allows us to do things the way that feels good to us.
We do also buy grain from a local mill, and also never quite know where it’s coming from. It makes me feel better to know that all of us are doing the best we can by the land, the animals, and the people that are in our care. And that we can continue to push in the right direction, as we learn more, and can see the positive results of our efforts.
I have been attacked hundreds of times as the evil corporate farm. We are a 5000 acres row crop family farm, no non-family employees. We raise corn, yes GMO, soybeans, yes GMO, peanuts, yes GMO, rice, yes GMO, wheat and milo. We are venturing into sweet potatoes next year. I have watch every one of your videos because, I love what you are doing. The small local producers have been dying off for decades and I personally hate it. Of the 5000 acres we farm we own 10 acres of it. I am a second career farmer like you, left a career of 25 years, six years ago and rented my first 105 acres and that is all we farmed that year. I think the issue is most family farms don’t understand business at all, that we agree on 100%. I had a talk with a handful of farm kid students that my wife teaches in 6,7 and 8th grandes. Most come from 3000 plus acre operations and one comes from a 10000 operation, all family farms, and they think I am crazy when I told them all they needed was 80 acres and symbolically livestock to make a good living. They were all worried how they were going to find acres when they get older to have their own operations. Like I said I love what you do and you make this 55 year old think and ponder how I am doing things.
Experience equals WISDOM! You have a lot of WISDOM, thanks for sharing all your experiences with us, and helping the people here that need it. You are an inspiration to us all!!!
The wife and I ran across one of your videos a few days ago found something we liked. We couldn't quite put our finger on it, but we liked that video. I clicked on your name to go to your channel to watch a few more of them to get a better feel of you and your bride. About four hours or so later of watching some of your older videos we knew we loved what your channel was about. Today's video summed it all up and really hit a note with me. The wife is taking a nap so she won't see this one until she gets up, but I know she is going to love it and come to the same result I did. Now, we subscribed that first day we started watching, but now the wife and I are now convinced that you may just be a God send that will help get our country back to our roots. I'm not saying you will all by yourself, but, slowly but surely more and more people will get the point of your message and will pass it along. I know that for myself, I will try to be more tolerant of some of my neighbors choice to be more left leaning hoping than is healthy for our country. From an old fart that worked on a rice farm in the summers between high school semesters that is now retired thank you for your channel and your message sir. I was a cabinet maker until I could no longer do my job because of health reasons then moved to oilfield work with my little brother. That lasted about six years or so until the doctors said I could not longer work at all. I miss being able to work so I sit at home on my computer or making an occasional bull whip, but watching your channel helps in some small way. Thank you sir and may you continue doing what you love. I'll be here at the computer flying my flight sim with the guys I've met online watching you and praying we get more like you in this country we love. Thank you sir.
You have a great day too, Pete. ❤️
GREAT JOB...👍👍 I LIKE YOUR EXPLANATION.
I greatly appreciate your videos because you make sense. Smart and wholesome makes a great impact.
I thoroughly enjoy ALL of your videos! You are always giving us, the viewers, an open and honest view of your life! Thank You!
I spent the last two year growing meat rabbits and egg layer hens. I learned a LOT about the food system trying to give my animals more space and high quality food, and keep them clean. I have a lot more respect for famers & ranchers now.
Excellent video. In regards to growing your own wheat there is a video here on the tube where a guy shows what goes into growing enough wheat to make a loaf of bread and ends up processing it through to a loaf of bread. After you watch that video the idealism of growing your own grains quickly dissipates. The area used for the one loaf of bread....roughly 1/3 to 1/2 the area of a typical suburban backyard, depending on the backyard. Of course that doesn't take into account the machinery or time it takes to separate/clean the wheat etc.
I love watching your videos the second time around! So much I learn from you and your family
Professor Pete , farm business class 101 we appreciate your good words & knowledge.
Professor Pete .... Business seminar 101. What a GOOD video for ALL business classes!!!!!
Really enjoy your videos Pete. So down to earth and that is missing these days. Its refreshing. Godbless you and your famliy
You always give me plenty to think about.
Thanks Pete.
I learn something every time I listen to you Pete. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience and your honesty
At Thanksgiving, my In-laws came to visit us. My father in law loves your channel and he is to thank for our new obsession with "Just a few Acres channel". I bought your book for him for Christmas =)
Each day my husband and I look forward to your videos but with this video, you have really hit the nail on the head. Tyranny. It happens in every aspect of life it seems these days. Its important to never allow your goals, your ambitions, your moral beliefs, your decisions, your objections to be ruled by Tyranny. Ever. I love that you and Hillary stand tall with your ideology and do what is best for your business. Keep on Truckin!
You are such a wonderful teacher brother...thank you for the information....I love learning from you. this is gold!!!
Excellent words. Please keep sharing your farm and your philosophies.
The problem is you mention gmo and everyone screams roundup. The organic industry has done a great job of marketing to the public to make them think they are bad. But gmo's are a lot more than roundup.
You get it! Its so nice hearing someone that understands it. My friends and people on YT are so idealistic. I realized fast that my farming was a hobby and I had to buy industrial feed. Your last video on pigs really hit me. People didn't understand why I stopped selling whole hogs, it was a pain and no money. They wanted me to work with the butcher on cuts, pick up and delivery....ect. Now I sell piglets, meat for my family, and one for a friend. People always come to me with these "wonderful" ideas how to be the perfect organic or self-sufficient . They don't get it. One thing that helped with feed cost, I use a cheap 3-way mix ( lots of grain by product) ferment it 12 hours and the pigs need less water, well its in the feed.
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
Pete we love your videos, we always sit down as a family and watch your videos. I love that they are always family friendly, our little one loves farms and cows and always is looking out for your videos about the animals.
i love your commentaries Pete. agree with most of it!! we all are looking forward to spring! God bless you and your family , enjoy your videos!!
Pete enjoy your videos. Have a great rest of your week. Thank you.
Thank you Pete. Appreciate your channel, your musings and you.
I absolutely loved this commentary. Thank you for being honest, and helping those of us starting out in our small farm ventures to look at the big picture.
Pete, I really enjoy the videos like these where you discuss your beliefs and motivations regarding your work. Thank you.
I enjoy your comments so much I listen to them several times.Its alot to take in and think about.Thanks
This is a good talk Pete. It's something I've struggled with as relating to the edge of the irrational market of hobby farmers and exploring the edges of work, vs hobbies.
I hope that you have a great day as well Pete
Pete great esteem and appreciation for you. You are respectful, reasonable, and responsible. Keep up your good work and thank you for sharing
Pete was in bubble bursting mood today.
I love your educational vise versa videos!!!🙌🏻 👍🏻👍🏻
Love your insight, honesty and approach. Really enjoy all your videos…
