This Is What Makes Farming Interesting!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2021
- Today we're doing lots of different jobs with the animals, and this is what makes farming interesting! We have to move the laying chickens on pasture, move the Dexter cattle into the heifer yard, move a batch of piglets out to pasture, and bring in round bales from the fields. In between, I'm smoking some delicious pork belly for dinner.

As someone with no knowledge or background in farming I really appreciate that you explain the “why “ behind what you are doing. It’s truly educational and interesting, thanks for the care you take with these videos Pete.
Pete - I really appreciate you taking the time to explain what is going on in your farm. It looks like a lot of hard work but work that is of great value. As an American History Professor, the small family farm was what made America exceptional. We need to make sure the small farmer has the ability to thrive and prosper. Keep up the good work and I look forward to many future videos!
Very true in your statement, but billionaires like bill gates are swooping up lots of fertile soil across the grain belt..., And some day sell it to China as our government watches it happen
You should see if Hilary would want to post a video on what she does in a day. If she wants to
Pete - I love the editing on starting the tractor: Guy Ritchie would be impressed!
Thank you so much for bringing back a ton of fond memories from my GREAT childhood on the farm! I didn't realize how much I'd forgotten; now that Mom & Dad are gone, more memories means more that I can share with my 14-years-younger sister, who also grew up on the farm, but after Mom & Dad stopped farming. We sold the acreage (sad day) but she bought the farmstead, and it's fun to be able to tell her stories of life on 'her farm' from ten years before she was born. Dad used the older equipment too, and continued with livestock when everyone around went to strictly crops, so your channel is absolutely wonderful - I'm encouraging her to start watching your channel once winter sets in (too much to do outside right now). God bless!
Having a hobby farm is what's keeping me sane with the insanity of the world these days...and Bob Ross too.
I've started coloring again at the age of 60. Keeps me sane right now.

Yup I have a 4 acre lot, I find doing morning and evening chores relaxing. Interacting with the critters really helps on those stressful days. Also everyone should start and end their day with Bob Ross. Remember watching the program as a kid really inspired me to paint/draw. Wish I had the time now.
My 6 year old knows Bob Ross et Randolph Scott
@@lilly3628 glad you found something
Pete, you are a good representative of all things that are good in this life.
We've been trying to contact you about your tires extended warranty.
😂🤣
Nice one
Oh!!! That's hilarious 😂😂😂😆
You beat me to it Jay!
👌
*Love when the chickens make a mad dash outside for "recess."*
That was an Excellent awareness point Pete about the manure burn. It all depends on the original soil content and PH as to whether it can handle the heat of poultry manure. So it's wise of you to compost first, because you learned your soil! Trial and error. Others will learn from this and save valuable time and energy! Thank you for pointing this out!Great job friend!
When we move the chicken tractors daily, that doesn't damage the soil. That's how many do it and it works for them.
I absolutely love your methods Pete, My grandpa taught me many of the same ideals while I farmed with him. This is farming he believed in, being regenerative to the earth, and feeding your local community. He would set aside some of his produce and meat for the less fortunate as well. I live vicariously through your videos as I build up my equipment, repair it to working order, and am saving up to buy land of my own to move onto. For now, I rent land, which does not really pay but it keeps me in the farming community and building allies for when I make the big step into owning land.
@Transplanted1 I have posted videos here on my channel in the past of farming, the animals, machinery, etc. Maybe in the future I can make more videos.
I can't tell you how much I love watching your videos! Thank you for all of your hard working and for sharing it with us!
Thanks Don!!
These are best videos. This is real life and a welcome relief from all the stings going on these days. Thank you Pete for everything you do.
Hey Pete, Why do piggy banks give the best advice? Because like you, they're filled with so much common cents.
One of my favorite sequences in all of the chore videos is the different sounds leading up to the Super C firing up, love it!
First time we moved piglets the experience made us laugh harder than any other experience in memory. The laughing was so wonderfully extreme, I think my ribs were sore for a week.
So grateful I found this channel. Really love your content and your delivery.
We have learned and continue to learn such a great deal from your videos.
Entertaining and informative, best family TV entertainment I’ve ever come across.
Thank you, we very much appreciate the time and effort you put into the videos. Blessings to you and yours!
That pork belly looked really good. In all my years of cooking and smoking I have never smoked a pork belly, I'm going to have to try that.
I just watched your 10 month old video of how to change your life. I’m not sure I heard you say it was worth it. You and your wife look so happy. To me it seems like a genuine happiness.
The layers coming out remind me of the Black Friday opening rush.
I am not a farmer but I really enjoy watching your videos. Chasing those piglets are so funny to me and how stubborn those pigs are is hilarious😂
We went to the Threshermen &Collectors show in Albert City,Iowa on Sunday,featured IH tractors this year. It was the 50th year for the show. I thought about you and your IH tractors,fun show!
Every time I watch your videos I cannot stop watching I enjoyed them so much keep up the good work
Growing up I always dreaded haying.
We square bailed all our hay & there were no conveyors or mechanized systems.
It was always my dad on the tractor & my brother & myself handleing the hay.
Im allergic to grass , so it was especially tough on me.
We loaded the wagon & hauled it to the barn where we had stacked it in the loft..
It was easily 110-115 degrees up near the roof & my brother & I traded off that position every few minutes.
The one thing I always liked was the smell of fresh mown hay .
And, come winter seeing all that hard work feed our herd.
You are so kind and gentle to the animals in your care. This is what farming should be. Thank you for being how you are.
I don’t know, Pete, I’ve never been inclined to use the word “sophisticated” for anything with turkeys! I love raising them, but a box of rocks makes mine look smart! Maybe it’s a different genetic line! 😄 Thanks for another great video!
Wow, talk about Pavlov’s law, my mouth started to water when you cut into the pork!
What did the Buffalo say to his son on his first day of school?
Bison.
My daughter goes to North Dakota State this weekend. Bison to her too. 😊
Hi Pete, thoroughly enjoy your videos. I happened upon your channel a few weeks back and now I’m hooked. Working on your book now. My husband and I moved from the City to the Sullivan Co. Catskills 3 years ago. The corporate life was zapping our life force/health. We’ve spent the last few years renovating the farmhouse and bringing the land back (it was fallow for 20 years)... still a ways to go, but getting there! Just wanted to thank you for your valuable content and insight. We hope to start a small farm business within the next year or two and the information you provide is invaluable. Again, thank you!
Joel Salatin is excellent in the way he pastures his birds

Hi Pete! If you move a small sandbox/child's swimming pool with sand in it, the chickens will use that to dust themselves rather than tear up your pasture! Just a tip! Cheers.
I love the way you go in depth explaining things! It is very helpful and informative. It's a great learning experience. You can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm 75 years young as of yesterday. I know a lot about a lot BUT am learning a LOT more from watching your videos. Keep up the great work. It's appreciated!!!
Pete
You are the new Farmall "go to " guy. I have watched many of your MD videos. You are extremely well versed in Farmall equipment as well as a great historian of McCormick-Deering. It is interesting how they did things back then...and they actually worked, and still do. I am not a farmer but they are the best engineers in the world...they see what they are doing and design and make something to do it better.

Glad to see Hilarie in her new hat
Pete! It's always good to see you! Thank you for what you do.

That Pork Belly looks awesome..... Nothing like a few good cold beers and bacon
Thank you for taking us along...busy folks...😉😉😎
I was going to say that pork belly was huge then you found it was really two lol 😂 eating good that night yummy wish I was eating with you guys thanks for sharing buddy very informative video god bless everyone
Such a hard working couple nothing but admiration for both of you. I wonder if you ancestors were farmers too.
That smoked pork belly looked superb.
Oh my goodness my mouth is watering after seeing that pork belly.... yummy!
9:59 I love how the pigs knocked the camera over
Thanks, Pete, for another great video, Jealous of dinner. Was great to see the next group of piglets moving outside. Again, much appreciate your efforts for sharing a day in the life of a farmer
Omg I love these videos. Need to show us your table all dressed up with homegrown food and family. 🙏🏼♥️
You should watch "Talking Turkey"a guy finds a clutch of turkey eggs .He hatches them and raises them like a mother turkey in the wild.Turkeys are very smart.
Excellent video. Thanks For showing a regular old day and narrating all the way through it. Mmmm on the belly.
I truly enjoy your life videos. The slow and steady rhythm is a wonderful way lost to many. Thank you.
Hi Pete. I like the way you video your engine starts. Enjoying your videos as always. Have a great day.
Great to see you enjoying your own product! Make nutritious meats your primary food.
I swear Mr. Pete your videos are better than a dose of tonic!😁
What a nice dinner. Enjoy!!!
you are really living the life...good for you.greeting from half a world away.Romania
Yum Yum Pork chops and fresh ground breakfast sausage!!!
Pete I love watching these videos I live on a ranch myself that me and my lady just bought last year and this is our first time doing farming eight Dexter cow 50 chicken 12 turkeys for pigs 50 ducks or more . Messing around with the pigs when they start screaming is a job in itself to take that sound but I love the way we live we don’t sell army or anything like that so I don’t have to bring anything to market but your videos have definitely helped thank you .
A colleague, who had a hobby farm, named his animals after what they were to become. Pigs were named sausage, bacon, pork chop etc. Cows were named tenderloin, sirloin, tbone etc. I thought it was cleaver that he used cake pellets, like a trail of bread crumbs, to get the cows to go where he wanted them to go. The pigs skipped dinner, the night before being transported to the cold locker. Then he laid out food, again like a trail of bread crumbs, to get the pig into the trailer.
I have only just discovered your channel and I love it. It's so organic, natural and real.
I love the daily chores,,,,,moving the chickens to a fresh pasture, so perfect!
we will miss "Missy" 😄 really enjoy your videos of true farm life-thank you.
Like the laying hens trailer on the interstate. It would be better than a lot of RVs out there. I like watching turkeys and rosters. Interesting details of raising them. Moving that bail of hay means to me the hard work in cutting, raking, thinning, and finally bailing. Great video Pete and Hillary.
You have a great helper in Hilary on the gate 😊
Thanks Pete, I loved every second of it.
Hey pete. For our chickens we use ashes for their dust baths. We burn lots of wood and when we empty the wood burner we save the ashes and put some in a tub just like your water tubs
I JUST found your site here and I am totally impressed. I totally enjoy all of this and I will be watching a whole lot more of this. Thank you for posting. I "liked and subscribed" also!
I really enjoyed seeing your cooking! Thanks for upload!
City boy learns new tricks. Thanks Pete, I really enjoy these especially learning the why and what goes into it all. Very much envy you being able to do something you’re clearly passionate about every day. God bless
Excellent Tractor too
Saw you had in a Peru State tee today! I’m a proud alumni thanks for supporting all of the universities on your videos. I really enjoy watching you and the how’s and why’s of what you do!!
Those movable chicken arcs are such a great idea.
Hard work really pays off.
I worked on a farm growing up in up state NY great experience love your videos good memories thanks
brings back memories from my childhood... hogs, heifers and chickens
Run run run!!!!!!!
Oh baby! You got a like the second I saw Missy's belly! My favorite meat tied with a massive porter.
Some permaculture folks swear by giving their fowl access to a compost heap. They say the birds will tend it by pooping mostly on the mound as they farm it for insects.
Love this channel. I check back most evenings, hoping for a new video. Educational, inspiring, and funny… awesome content!
Thank you I’m learning a few things
Pete love you videos. Thank you.
Just found you today. Couldn't quit watching.
Hi Pete, that Pork Belly sure looks yummy. Great job..
I do my hay feeding a bit different, I drop the bale and then pick up the hay ring with the bale spear
Love the UCM shirt there at the end! Nice to know there are other Mules and Jennies out there that follow you. That pork belly looked awesome!
Nice seeing it! Hello from over by Sweet Springs!
UCM Grad here too!
Thanks for sharing and have a nice safe day!!
Of all the college-themed shirts I’ve seen so far, this is by far the best looking 🤘🏻
Another top produced video with a ton of actually GOOD content!! Thank you for taking the time out to do this!
That pork belly🐖 looked so mouthwatering good, great video sir glad i found your channel 😊👍
Just earlier I watched a video where a farmer was talking about improving the soil cows had been on, and he went over the field with a box...something, I can't remember...furrow maybe, but it looked like a box spring for a bed with spikes coming out of the bottom it. He said it broke up the manure added oxygen to the manure and to the soil, and caused the manure to compost on the field very quickly. He was working with cow manure, but I would say that chicken manure would be similar.
I love your videos! Highlight of all are the Dad jokes!! Love them! (Also, "run, run, run!"🤣 )
Go Texas Longhorns!!!! Love seein* all the shirts but today is my team. You look nice in burnt orange. Pork belly……I can smell it.
Pete, you're amazing. Great work!
Dinner AND a farming update!
That’s how I smoke meat too on a 22 inch Weber grill put your coal and wood on one side and meat on the other n keep your vent over the meat side. I installed a thermometer too so I can close the vents if it gets hotter then 250 degrees. I love using cherry wood for pork. Cherry pear and apple mix is the best too
That is a fantastic pig enclosure
You're the Mr. Roger's of farming! That's a compliment BTW. Farming ain't easy and neither is filming/editing. You're doing both. Bravo.
Thanks for some normalcy in this crazy world.
I use the Montreal steak marinade for steak and hamburgers too! So good!
I remember one winter that one of our at that time two cows where chewing on the green twine stuff that holds the bales together so we went to cut the twine but forgot a knife so we managed to use a hot-wheels car and we used the front right wheel well to hook the twine and pull on the car witch would break the twine and we would move the twine away and go back to the house! Have a good day!
Thank You Pete!!! We have a small farm and we get tremendous inspiration from your videos!!!
In the 60's we live in England. My youngest son put a finger near a pigs mouth and was bit. They will eat anything that gets near their mouth. The older son still calls him a WerePig.
Pete, I love your videos. You explain in detail what and why you are about to do. I really appreciate it. Thank you for being a great “educator“.
Glad to see your pigs are healthy. I enjoy your videos, keep them coming.
just found you today, very good explanations,fine farm,,,
