Our almost-two-year-old watches your channel in a full trance. Never matters what he’s doing he will stop dead in his tracks and stand in front of the tv fully hypnotized and watch your entire video. It’s been like this since he was a little baby, he would always stop and watch your whole video before resuming his chaotic antics. He loves your channel and we do too!
For me at the other end of life, bedridden and not doing well, it's the same..I watch till the tractors get worked on. Then I change to watching Jim and his workhorses because I grew up with work horses and know zip about tractors..( p.s. dads second farm was near Berkshire not that far from Just a Few Acres..
Pete, I enjoy your jokes. My uncle would tell these type of jokes, we always said they were so bad they were funny. So to us you’re a Uncle Ernie jokester. Lee and Carolyn Bretzlaff, Villa Grove, Illinois.
You're damn right about manure. Spreading manure should be done between nice dry days in spring thru the end of september. It's when it's chemical value (as well as it's micro bacterial value) are at their best. Especially with solid manure like what you got on the farm. The true value of manure doesn't stop to a lab analysis. Is waaaaay better than any fertilizers you can spread on the soil. It's ALIVE !
Imagine a world where everyone had your ideals and work ethics. There would be small farms producing meat, vegetables, produce, fruits and nuts... then small wood lots people producing lumber, furniture and crafts... and they all sold their wares at a market. No more shopping malls... no more big box stores... no more politics. What a wonderful world it could be!
Nathan: A couple times today I've seen my comments to a thread posted entirely on another channel where it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Stuff like this will happen to people when they disagree with somebody who believes that "identifies with" is good enough to determine the gender of those with dysphoria. Now I'm watching that circle doing it's thing indicating I can't edit and overwrite it. It will say it's been deleted by a pop up but there on my screen it sits. So, I'm taking screen shots to post elsewhere if it becomes a problem. Thanking you in advance. I gave you a thumbs up when I read your post without seeing Pete for the first time today. My problem is my give a darn is something that can't be busted easily. 😉👍
Dad jokes are not my favorite thing, but when I hear you tell a dad joke I know you’re having a good day, and that you’re happy. Always brings a smile to my face. Love you’re videos, thanks for sharing your happiness today Pete. 😊
I totally loved that few seconds that you let us hear those frogs and bird. I wish someone would go and make a audio recording of them at least 10 minutes long. I am an insomniac and that would be heaven to hear that at bedtime
Pete and Hillary. I cant express more how much i enjoy your videos. Its like a family phone call... "just checking in". All your content is just what the soul needs to ground yourself. Even when you are spreading manure..."literally". Lol. Please know you are producing quality content... when i see a random barn cat in the foreground and say..."hi Esra." Thanks again for all you share, whether its animal care, tractor repairs, or farmers market. Thats what i like best...your unpredictable routine life. 😉
I love your relationship with your pig you bring them in the pictures and talk to them just like they have children. That is the kindness of a farmer and his relationship with his livestock.
I always enjoy watching you two working the farm. I had a small farm at one time. Raised my own beef, polled herefords, hogs, turkeys, only once, about 10, and a small flock of hens. I really enjoyed taking care of them and also had a rather large veggy garden. But you two make it look so enjoyable and make a great team. Keep up the good work, and videos. God Bless you both.
Pete, I'm a gearhead for muscle car stuff mostly. But I fall to the side of your viewers that like the "farming" vids. I could watch you spew manure and wisdom all day. Much love from the south.
For many years I have enjoyed the sound of the birds. Whether gramas in town, our home place or wherever. Billy sure enjoys being talked to and loved on. As well as the others. They enjoy being acknowledged and appreciated. Feels comforting. Thanks Pete and Hillary! Have a great day!
I love your videos… I’m a young 32 yr old that grew up on a dairy farm, now I’m a construction superintendent. I’ve always dreamed of farming and because of your videos I’m doing just that… your videos are inspiring to some and definitely me. Keep on doing what you do. I plan on going to your market, I’m from herkimer county so sometime when I can find the time for a nice drive I’ll do just that.
It's amazing the difference between North grasses and South grasses. Here in East texas the cows are off hay but won't have anything up to the digestibility/ protein of your grasses. I'm always jealous of your grass! But not the winter.
I love this. Recently watched the Netflix doc called "Kiss the Ground". I speaks to the initiative on the importance of soil - the man-made causation of how we are negatively impacting the soil and how we can natural repair through regenerative agriculture!! It's nice seeing farmers like you taking such care of the land!
Thanks Pete it all happing there mate ready for a nother year off farming , love the show you never know what your going to do , yep little pigs earlier than 10 days Pete , lots off natural poo , cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Pete, why did you have to kick those wood chips over. Brownie was having so much fun just nibbling and sniffing. Lol Love you channel buddy!! Keep up the great work!
This reminds me of the days when we used an International 350 utility with a bucket. It took so long to clean out our barn, mainly because it was to big to use in a barn. We now have skid steer machine which works better inside a barn. Watch out for the wind. Happy spreading.
Your calmness around the critters is impressive, especially if you are not editing or leaving out the frustrating times that can lead a man to using all those other words... 😂
Hi there friends ! It's always a great visit with you and your girl...really loved watching all your day involved ... great seeing all the piggies...looking forward to Brownies babies ....🐽🤗🤭 Hil is such a great partner at hand with you Pete ! It's wonderful watching the 2 of you working together to keep things running on the farm. God bless y'all...see you soon !
Hey Pete. It is that time of year. We are getting ready to bring in our first chicks, layers and pigs this month. I have been watching your videos for the last two years or so, I have learned a ton. Thank you.
Watching you and Hillary cleaning enclosures reminds me of cleaning calf pens with my sister (6 (me) and 9) every Saturday from late fall to spring - we had to get it done by 5:00 pm so we could watch Bugs Bunny before dinner/supper. Dad had to empty the wheelbarrow. We had chickens for eggs and around 30 milking cow for butterfat/cream and pigs that just ate skim milk and barley/oats chop all winter. I also remember my dad had a waiting list for people/ friends that wanted the pork from the slaughter which we did on the farm. My parents had to give up farming due to health issues when I was 10 ish. Thanks for bring up some fond memories. I have made friends with former market gardener and volunteer there year round (5 acres). I will keep going into my seventies.
Now we are getting ready, cows and pigs excited! All that hay turned into compost and a positive process for this year. The market is opening and all your followers are ready for the excitement of the new pig dwelling. Thanks Pete!😊
We have a small pond and wet areas on our property. In the spring and summer the sounds of peepers and tree frogs is almost defining and very much enjoyed.
60's? shheeesh, we are getting dumped on with yet another 12 to 15 inches of....winter... Again. Yer piggers are looking good! Wish our boar was as friendly as your Buddy guy is.
So great to see you smiling and obviously happy with the spring chores. YOu provide a lot of entertainment and knowledge to me and those other retired seniors. We love seeing your farm come "to life" in the spring and watch all the animals grow. Thanks for the work that you and Hillary do making these videos.
Great way to start my day. Your town looks so nice and peaceful in the morning. Does little Billy ever go out during the day? He really loves when you come around. Can’t wait for the spring to come.
Boy, I wish I could smell that manure. This video took me way back to my growing up years in a farm village in Southern Ontario. Driving by the farmer's fields after they had spread manure and my older brother insisting the smell would grow hair on your chest. I thought he was disgusting then but I wish I could smell it now that I'm in my sunset years. Your videos always take me for a stroll down memory lane. Thank you Hillary and Pete. Bless!
Two cups of coffee and start my day with Pete, his humor, and Just a Few Acres Farm. I love love this channel. Brings back so many memories of growing up and living on a farm. Retired now loving it. Thanks for all the great videos, your wisdom and info.
I really enjoy watching your channel Pete. The interaction with the animals is especially fun to watch. That Patty cow sure let's you know when she wants her way! LoL can i asked why some pigs have a fan like ear? Is that just on certain breads? Hillary is quiet but a strong women with a great smile. She definitely keeps up with you Pete, getting those chores done along side you. Keep those great videos coming. Wisconsin is watching. God Bless. 🙂
Did you decide to put your new pig edition on the side of the heifer barn? It's funny we all have a different spot on where you're going to add it. Everyone has heard a different location. Lol 😂. Love your channel just block out any of those negative people. They're everywhere. You & Hilary keep up the interesting videos. Love them, can't wait until the next ones!! The Andersons Richwood, Ohio
Billy has really grown! You are a lucky man. Having to decide which two tractors to use to spread the manure. A wife that isn't afraid to shovel it with you... I took my tractor out into the woods yesterday. There are still a bunch of places where the snow is more than a foot deep...
here's a question for ya Pete !!! why not get a bigger bucket for the tractor ? I was really supprised at how much quicker I could get the job done when switching from a smaller bucket to a bigger one... and I am sure that would be the same for you.... filling the manure spreader with 3 buckets or 4 would sure be better than the 8 to 10 that you normally have to do...
Excellent video Pete :) yes get lots spring work starting up for sure , plus picking up supplies to and lots goodies! Yes like hearing frogs to hear from river up to west of house live plus sometime see Bull Frogs on house property to at night seen them or hear them Lol!

Same my 13-month-old will lay back and watch the chore videos with me.

Thank you Pete!
Pete: "In four days we start all over again." (big smile) Hilary: "Hard to believe..." (hesitantly accepting reality..)
You and Hillary are a refreshing start to my morning, my favorite channel!
Me too, the time spent watching Pete videos is precious.
I was saying the same thing
I have always loved cabinet shell and I love the point where Harvey I was breaks down. It’s good to see these old sitcom of the game.
Thank you from one who lives in the city. Learning.
Imagine a world where everyone had your ideals and work ethics. There would be small farms producing meat, vegetables, produce, fruits and nuts... then small wood lots people producing lumber, furniture and crafts... and they all sold their wares at a market. No more shopping malls... no more big box stores... no more politics. What a wonderful world it could be!
Your videos through the years have been instrumental in our farm journey. Thanks for the all the effort you put into UA-cam!
Thanks Nathan
Same!! Inspired me to fix up my families farm I recently obtained. Plus, we have a lot of red machinery 👍🏼👍🏼
Same here!!

Pete is the farm version of Mr. Roger's neighborhood
I like the video before I watch it 'cause I know I'm gonna like it anyways.
Thank you for all of your hard work this country needs farmers and good farms!
I'm 71 your channel reminds me of summers on the farm
Great to see a happy farmer doing what he likes. Your wife is such a great partner. Congratulations to you both. 👍
Yes, they are happy farmers and the animals that live on their farm are also very happy.
Yeah, Hilary seems to really make what he does more meaningful
Billy is getting so big and what a friendly boar
Dad jokes are not my favorite thing, but when I hear you tell a dad joke I know you’re having a good day, and that you’re happy. Always brings a smile to my face. Love you’re videos, thanks for sharing your happiness today Pete. 😊
Nice when the weather corporates
Just a Few Acres 👍
I totally loved that few seconds that you let us hear those frogs and bird. I wish someone would go and make a audio recording of them at least 10 minutes long. I am an insomniac and that would be heaven to hear that at bedtime
It has been a rough day for me. Your videos always lift my spirits. Thanks for sharing!
Indeed, when sad, my brother also often turns to Pete videos and he loves to see how Pete accomplishes the tasks on this farm.
Hope your day gets better!!
Keep up the good work. Love watching you two work together.
Spring is here and sh... hits the fan :)
Thanks for taking me around the farm today Pete. Always a pleasure for me.
Pete and Hillary. I cant express more how much i enjoy your videos. Its like a family phone call... "just checking in". All your content is just what the soul needs to ground yourself.

Your best video title yet! 🙂 You're such an inspiration. I learn so much.
I love your relationship with your pig you bring them in the pictures and talk to them just like they have children. That is the kindness of a farmer and his relationship with his livestock.
Hello from perth western Australia
You and Hillary are so lucky to have each other....you make a good team...
I always enjoy watching you two working the farm. I had a small farm at one time. Raised my own beef, polled herefords, hogs, turkeys, only once, about 10, and a small flock of hens.

But you two make it look so enjoyable and make a great team.
Keep up the good work, and videos. God Bless you both.
You guys work together so we’ll. Enjoyed seeing farm chores again. Blessings🙂
Love to see spring coming...things are getting exciting on the farm. Thanks, Pete.
Congratulations on getting 100,000 viewers love looking at the cows and pigs .
15:55 - love to hear those engine harmonics of the "thrum thrum thrum!" Thanks for bringing us along, Pete!
Me too.
Thanks for taking us along.
this current batch of Piggers seem mighty friendly
Pete, I'm a gearhead for muscle car stuff mostly. But I fall to the side of your viewers that like the "farming" vids. I could watch you spew manure and wisdom all day.
Much love from the south.
Loved the spreading poo. I always enjoy that looking forward to the whole hay process as well. Very satisfying. Thanks Pete. Appreciate it.
For many years I have enjoyed the sound of the birds. Whether gramas in town, our home place or wherever. Billy sure enjoys being talked to and loved on. As well as the others. They enjoy being acknowledged and appreciated. Feels comforting. Thanks Pete and Hillary! Have a great day!
Man Billy's really growing.
The morning chores in that beautiful sunlight!
I've always found the gentle rustle of hay to be relaxing and calming.
Billy is really growing up,thank you for sharing your day ,always makes mine better
Gee's I got poop no my face! Love sharing your days. You have the happiest animals ever. They are loved.
The cows were excited to see you in the field. They know they'll be out soon now!
Down goes Mt. Pooji!
I love your videos… I’m a young 32 yr old that grew up on a dairy farm, now I’m a construction superintendent. I’ve always dreamed of farming and because of your videos I’m doing just that… your videos are inspiring to some and definitely me. Keep on doing what you do.

Looks like a good poo day, getting ready for spring. Great video and you and Hill have a great day.
Did you say Bay Of Pigs ? That’s Hilarious !!😂😂
It's amazing the difference between North grasses and South grasses. Here in East texas the cows are off hay but won't have anything up to the digestibility/ protein of your grasses. I'm always jealous of your grass! But not the winter.
Same here in south Mississippi.

I have tested your daddy jokes on my family, they think it's terrible, so keep them coming 🤣🤣🤣
Hi there friends ! It's always a great visit with you and your girl...really loved watching all your day involved ... great seeing all the piggies...looking forward to Brownies babies ....🐽🤗🤭
Hil is such a great partner at hand with you Pete ! It's wonderful watching the 2 of you working together to keep things running on the farm. God bless y'all...see you soon !
I am with you Pete, the sound of peepers, and red wing blackbirds in the trees are the first signs of spring and warmer weather
In the beginning of this video when you and your wife are coming out the house you can hear the woodpecker pecking on a tree.
Wonderful video… again. Thank you. PS I loved the peepers.. brings back lovely memories.
Good morning Pete and Hilarie….another wonderful day.
Thank you Pete! You’ve made my morning even more enjoyable with your new video! Thank you for showing Billy and JJ! They’re my favorites!😊
Right! I love them too! I want to watch a live video of them just going about their day lol
Hey Pete. It is that time of year. We are getting ready to bring in our first chicks, layers and pigs this month. I have been watching your videos for the last two years or so, I have learned a ton. Thank you.

Never ridden a shovel before. 👌🏻 thanks😆
Happy Spring, Pete!

Good morning Pete. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the baby piglets being born!!!!! Have a great day 😊
Good morning
we just finished up our spring meat birds we had 1 day in 90 already so I have start bring out fans for everyone.thanks for video. from s tx
We have a small pond and wet areas on our property. In the spring and summer the sounds of peepers and tree frogs is almost defining and very much enjoyed.
60's? shheeesh, we are getting dumped on with yet another 12 to 15 inches of....winter... Again. Yer piggers are looking good! Wish our boar was as friendly as your Buddy guy is.
Love ezra hitching a ride and taking to you! Also really love all the sounds of the farm❤
Pete, my day started out GREAT, as it always does watching your new video entry. Thanks for the up lift in my spirit . You and yours have a GREAT DAY!
Good morning and thank you very much for the nice video
So great to see you smiling and obviously happy with the spring chores. YOu provide a lot of entertainment and knowledge to me and those other retired seniors. We love seeing your farm come "to life" in the spring and watch all the animals grow. Thanks for the work that you and Hillary do making these videos.
It is fun to watch the farm come alive in spring! It's so refreshing after winter
Nice video Pete (and Hilary), Thanks 😁
The daily life of a farmer, "Shovel it in and then shovel it out. Ya gota to love it!" :-)
The 756 sure would look nice dressed out in a set of rops like the 656
I just LOVE the peepers! I sit by my living room window and no matter the temperature I crack it open to listen
I love your daily routine videos. I know from your point of view it might be boring but not for the viewers. Keep it coming buddy.
I could watch the poop spreading all day. Love the channel and the peepers.
Pete, that 756 sure sounds good!
I love watching your videos and how relaxing it is. Okay well maybe not you but for me! Thank you for bringing us along with your day.
I'm happy you like making these tractor work videos. I like watching them. Poo and all.
Great way to start my day. Your town looks so nice and peaceful in the morning. Does little Billy ever go out during the day? He really loves when you come around. Can’t wait for the spring to come.
I knew the minute you stopped and said you were thinking, there was a dad joke on its way, hahahaha.
Pete, Like you I so enjoy the sounds the Spring is on the way. Thanks for another day on the farm.
I so remember that smell of the chicken shed.... especially in the wintertime! I swore I could smell yours too!
Boy, I wish I could smell that manure. This video took me way back to my growing up years in a farm village in Southern Ontario. Driving by the farmer's fields after they had spread manure and my older brother insisting the smell would grow hair on your chest. I thought he was disgusting then but I wish I could smell it now that I'm in my sunset years. Your videos always take me for a stroll down memory lane. Thank you Hillary and Pete. Bless!

Love your channel just block out any of those negative people. They're everywhere. You & Hilary keep up the interesting videos. Love them, can't wait until the next ones!!

Billy has really grown! You are a lucky man. Having to decide which two tractors to use to spread the manure. A wife that isn't afraid to shovel it with you... I took my tractor out into the woods yesterday. There are still a bunch of places where the snow is more than a foot deep...
Your cat looks like a kitty i use to have called Sissy, same marking and everything.
You guys have such a gift of calming and laughter. Thanks for being you. ❤
Agreed!!
here's a question for ya Pete !!! why not get a bigger bucket for the tractor ? I was really supprised at how much quicker I could get the job done when switching from a smaller bucket to a bigger one... and I am sure that would be the same for you.... filling the manure spreader with 3 buckets or 4 would sure be better than the 8 to 10 that you normally have to do...
Excellent video Pete :) yes get lots spring work starting up for sure , plus picking up supplies to and lots goodies! Yes like hearing frogs to hear from river up to west of house live plus sometime see Bull Frogs on house property to at night seen them or hear them Lol!
The winning bit of wisdom today.
1. Recognizing how some farms have gutters with right angle steel attatched to a chain that moves it out of a barn into your Honey wagon there. In a setting where a farmer had heifers in an old dairy barn they had to shovel it out first and then reload it back into the gutter. You're spot on about when to put that on the fields though. That same farmer would put it into a pile in a low unused area that must have been a gravel pit some decades before. A years seasons later I mixed that stuff 50/50 with sand. Anything would grown in that.
2. Real men don't need heated seats. That was cuter than a bug's ear.
All is I can say , is I was hooked on your channel ever since you rebuilt the family homestead, never miss a video, always reminds me back in the day on the farm in OHIO.
