    Pete I feel the same way you do. I didn’t go up on my egg prices when the others did. I had one customer ask me if I was going up. I said, no sir, I went up when feed went up. I have no reason to go up now. I value my customers. Thank you for sharing your life with us on here all the time. Enjoy the videos.

    Pete and Missus who’s name I’m blanking on. You two make a wonderful team. It’s a pleasure to see you both together in action.
    I’m not a farmer so other than mowing my excuses for having a small bunch of garden tractors (+ 1 40hp) is I just like em. My wife sure could learn to harass me less, and help me push them around.

    Pete, you are right about prices and the relationship with your customers at the farmers market. I was approached early in the season at our farmers market a couple years ago by new vendor that wanted me to raise my prices for kale and mustard greens. I explained that I was fine with my prices because I knew my production cost. My customers come looking for me every year and I really appreciate them and they appreciate me. I sold everything I brought that day, as usual. Seeing he was frustrated, I asked him what was his problem. He said it was that my bags of greens were twice the size of his for half of his price. He stood at his table all morning and I didn't see him sell anything. I also gave him my opinion about colluding and price fixing. I don't think he embraces the concept capitalism. He came to sell one more Saturday then I never saw him again.

    Morning coffee with Hillary and Pete. That is a real treat. Famous bad jokes, strolling through the hen house, seeing the tractors, watching the piggers, and feeling the warm weather .... what a calming effect. But I did not hear Patty complain about her food... maybe next time. Thank you for your delightful gift.

    Pete, you have officially taken the top spot in my mind as far as UA-cam channels go. You and Evan, from Country View Acres, both do a great job providing entertaining but also informative content without becoming the pushy salesmen. I know sponsorships pay the bills in many cases on here, but some channels have become grossly consumed by pushing products. I can't wait to see the 756 restoration next winter. Your TRUE love for what you do is evident in all your videos!

      But the bad feed causing chickens to stop laying is conspiracy!!!
      Pete is has a brilliant mind and has accomplished much.
      That said, I was disappointed in his doubting the word of so many homesteaders who have also raised chickens for years and through trial and error realized it was the feed that was the cause of their chickens laying less.
      Not conspiracy theory at all.

      I wonder if you have ever watch any from Geirok Farms. They are another small farm operating in WI on land that is extremely hilly. They take excellent care of their equipment and are also aware of the importance of preventive maintenance. From MI here. I rate them as a close favorite to Pete's channel. Hope you don't mind my suggesting this. It is so nice to have places to watch that are fun, informational and entertaining.

    My hubby always got a head start..getting the machinery in tip top condition...as soon as haying season was over...he kept the tractor up for we needed it to help out through the bitter cold winters..ploughing out the high wind blown drifts...so we could get to barn to feed the livestock...it was never ending..once the snow was gone he got the 2 acre garden ready for me with it..then re-serviced it again for the big hay challenge...coming up in the 1st. of july.....our Red massy Ferguson...was the only tractor we had... it was a work horse....but he made sure it was always up and going to do the task at hand....the only piece of machinery that gave us problems was our old new Holland baler...know matter how many times that was in the repair shop...over that knotter on the left side...next to the tire side of the machine...would eventually start breaking shear pins...on every third bale...he had to stop get off and hand tie that side of hay...every year..it would do this..when we sold the farm..this equipment went with it..we attached a note to that side of the baler...good luck with this, here is a new box of shear pins...every third bale..????. I think that baler was haunted.......

    The first tractor I ever drove to do work was a 656 just like the one you have. That was about 50 years ago. My dad was a cotton/soybean farmer in MS and I helped out for a few years. He was a die hard Farmall man. Every tractor we had was red. Seeing all your old tractors brings back memories. I love your channel.

    I’ve been watching Pete’s channel for a couple of years now and one of the things I like about Few Acres Farm is that Pete and Hillary TRULY work as a team. So many channels on UA-cam purportedly show “husbands and wives” supposedly working together on a project, but what you end up watching is 15 minutes of two people taking cheap shots at each other. Good core values never go out of style.

    That view from the seat of the 756 reminds of being a little kid riding on the neighbors brand new 1066 in the early 70s. The 1066 took over from his 706 as the big horse on the farm. It went straight from the delivery truck to pulling a new 5 bottom plow about an hour later. I got to ride on the fender that day and boy did it sound good. The Mrs neighbor couldn't believe he was going to take it straight from the truck to getting it dirty. He had work to do - ok, he wanted to play with it.

Also felt Hillary's joy when the tractor fit, which I wasn't too sure of. My husband has no ability to judge height or depth by eye and I've always found it satisfying to find that something fits when I said would fit and he thought not. Been married a hair over 44 years now and still going. Thanks for the video and take care.

    Taking your IH 756 into the shed by taking off the muffler and ducking down to get in reminded me of what I once did . I had moved a house on to a flat piece of land and wanted to raise it about 4 ft. and then put a basement under it. I had a front end loader on a Massey the same size as your 756. It was not running on all cylinders. and was popping and snorting. I had removed the muffler and had to duck as I took loads out from the smoke filled underside of the house. My theme is if there is a will there's a way.

    Pete I have to give you a chuckle for a change. When I first glanced at that image of you on that tractor and it partially in the barn I thought oh no what happened that he wrecked into that barn like that. Then laughed at myself when I looked carefully realized you were just putting in the bag to work on. But kudos to you and Hillary for actually getting that beast in there without having to take the seat off. I always enjoy your videos and dad jokes and your take on life well one more thing too is your interactions with your wife as her tone and facial expressions to your comments can be priceless.😁

    I'm a little xcited about the 756 work. I have a 656 that is going to need some TLC, and it will be nice to see something very similar taken apart.
