      One of his children will take over the farm. When the drone was going over the trees they looked like broccoli. I didn't know the big barn had a door on the other end. It was great watching the hay being cut.

      I'd say you do have a farm, with a great couple to do the work. Just sit back and enjoy, when something breaks or ya look out next morning after cutting and the rain is pouring down just let the manager deal with it. Sometimes it the best way to have a farm, sometimes.

    Whoever is your drone operator does a fantastic job and it’s particularly satisfying with haying. I think the sickle mower would be a good candidate for a small restoration project. And your change in storing the hay i think is a great idea. I often wondered how you managed the rotation to make sure none of it stores too long and loses all nutritional value. Love the haying videos. They are so relaxing

      Pete operates the drone himself. He has a higher optioned, “follow me” drone, that uses GPS and visual technology that can be set up to fly within certain height and distances of the operator.
      They are higher dollar drones, but give wonderful results making Pete’s videos so great!

    Independent farming is so important to our American freedom that it should be considered a national security priority. The unrestricted access to so much and various food choices on an uninterrupted daily basis is nothing short of a miracle in the USA. Think of the many parts of farming: machinery and maintenance, 24/7/365 chores and unexpected occurrences, personal issues etc., too much to list. But, the job gets done. Before all other freedoms the freedom to eat every day is the most important because nothing else can be accomplished if there is hunger. Blessings to you, Pete, Hillary, family and all the other independent farmers and food producers that make our lives easier every day.

    Not everyone will appreciate how important the sound is on these machines. There is a rythem and pitch to everything and as you heard any change on that sound is instantly transmitted to your brain which then tells you " Hey, listen up, we are trying to tell you something. If you ride around on this equipment, you may not even be aware that you ( our your brain ) are listening , but you are. Subtle, changes are " heard: and if you are wise you stop and check. Lots of hours on cycle mowers and other such stuff as a kid 60 years ago.

    Fresh mowed fields reminds me of a painting. They are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    Love the ending. I could enjoy it for a while. Also the chicken ambiance.

    I love watching you cut hay. Very relaxing. I can almost smell it. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it looks like you'll be sitting pretty for hay this year. Should help you sleep better at night.
