The world would be a better place with more people like you. A handshake is my word kinda of person. God Speed

Your KZfaq presentation and personality is what brings more and more people your way!! You do not try and impress, you are supportive without being critical and you are a straight shooter. Please don't change

You are successful because you are honest and truthful and it's becoming a rare find on public forums and social media. And, like with Sammy, you don't alter what you are doing because of public pressure, because you know what you are doing is right for you and your family, and that's it. You shoot it straight for us all, and your teaching style and vast knowledge is captivating.

You are one of the few "farming" channels that has a goal, making an income off of your farm. It is not how much "free stuff" you can get from various vendors. Best to you and your family.

Ladies and gentlemen, today we finally have it! RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN!!!!!!

Lol, "I'm not supposed to see calves thru my kitchen window." Made me chuckle, I remember driving down the road past the pasture and seeing a cow and calf on the wrong side of the fence and thinking almost the same thing to myself. We had one cow that was a Houdini, always getting out. Once she started teaching the the calves to escape, it was time to send her down the road.

Woohoo….. it’s run, run, run, run time !

The American farm work ethic, it’s the very bedrock of the American way , congrats on your life of struggle and success, God b

From the other side of the camera, and the other side of the pond, greetings from Switzerland. The cows here have a bit of a different colour, but the rain looks very similar lately. I won't be able to visit your local market, want to let you know your videos are very welcome and appreciated.

Posting everyday PETE'S gone wild

All schools should be required to watch your videos. Fantastic job Pete.

Right next door here in Connecticut. You and your family are plucked from a time almost forgotten. Very refreshing and badly needed! Thanks and God bless!!!!!

Pete - I smile at realizing that some may think your content is repetitive but that's the nature of farming. Anyway, if we pay attention, we learn something we hadn't known or noticed from the last time. Thank you for allowing us to visit by viewing.

We've been in drought for several months, but suddenly it's showering or raining everyday. We're still 5" below normal, but the constant showers are allowing us to catch up. Haying has ground to a halt, but today is my last day as a full time employee after 28 years. Starting tomorrow I'm a full time farmer so I should have plenty of time to hay. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and journey, it's always nice to learn from folks who have real life experience.

I’m sure little kids would enjoy watching these big equipment videos!

I've been Watching farming channels for years. KZfaq is weird. I was only reccomended this channel this week. I hope the algorithm keeps this channel growing ! Such good content !

You never get bored in the farm. There’s always something to do

I'm a devoted viewer now because you are a very good story teller and videographer. Every one of your vids is a jewel. My dad was a partner in an IH dealership when I was growing up. He didn't like the business part so he ended up getting a pickup truck (IH, of course) with a big portable welder and toolbox full of Snap-on tools and became the field mechanic. He was reputed to be the only mechanic in the region who could make an IH baler knotter work reliably. I would be his tool fetcher every summer vacation and learned a lot about mechanics. Every one of your tractors is a familiar sight and a joy to watch doing the job they were designed for.

I’m a huge gardener. Live and breath gardening. And that eventually led us to your channel and my family has been watching you for a short time but our one year old boy LOVES watching your videos. Seeing the animals and the videos are smooth and not too over-stimulating and you have a good voice for audio. We all enjoy it even though we aren’t farmers(yet)

Hello Pete, I grew up in Iowa as a Pig farmer but now I live in Nashville TN. as a Car builder and I love watching your channel. It brings back a lot of memories and to be able to watch the way you add the POP Culture to your Family is refreshing. Keep doing what your doing and have a great Day.

Love your videos. I also appreciate the fact that you didn't sell out to "sponsors". Some channels are like watching commercials for all the frees stuff people have gotten on their farms. You are just down to earth with your farming.

I'm doing my part Pete, to spread the word about your channel. Every chance I get, I tell someone to check out your channel. My hometown in Nebraska is the site of the very first homestead applied for by Daniel Freeman just minutes after Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead act in 1865. Just this past Sunday my wife and I visited the museum at the Homestead which is a national park. I was telling the two park rangers to check out your channel and they seemed very interested. The Homestead is really about acquiring land and farming it. They have an old Allis Chalmers Tractor on display in the museum and it is not restored. They wanted the patina to show. I thought of you when I saw it because it could use a good restoration. Thanks for your fine videos which are entertaining, educational and always enjoyable to watch.

As I said before, I love watching your vids and hearing your viewpoint and your sharing of your knowledge and experience. For me it brings back lots of fond memories and stories of family experiences as well and that's something that I cherish. We only had pigs on the farm for a short while when I was growing up but, I remember my mom talking about my grandad rushing in during farrowing with newborn piglets in his coat from time to time that were too cold and sickly and my grandmother warming them up in the oven wrapped in towels in hopes that it wouldn't die. Hearing your observation of being alarmed at seeing the calves outside your window also reminded me of my grandad getting a call from a well meaning state trooper in the wee hours one night. The trooper told him that there was a mule out on the road. Even though we didn't own mules my grandad went to see if he could help and found a fully grown angus bull on the road instead... I remember he just chuckled when he told us and said that he found it amusing that the trooper didn't know the difference between a mule and a bull. Anyway, I hope that you get some drier weather soon... stay safe and take care.

Peter you are a true humble & honest person that’s the reason why your getting so many followers. Your from gods people! Stay strong and feel good ❤️

If only you could send some of that rain our way. We always enjoy getting cows in for milking and hearing a good rain on the barn roof!

Being able bodied and healthy, having good tools, and knowing what you are doing with a good plan and goals, all make life worth living.

You are so personal with your animals, a magical moment for them😄

Hey Pete, really been enjoying the videos lately. My kids were stunned when they found out we live near you. We are just south of you in Northeast PA. This rain has been crazy! Our barn yards are swamps, hard to navigate around the farm and flooding is happening all over locally. Storms pretty much every night for past 2 weeks. Keep up the great work! I told my kids we will have to come to the farm market!

After listening to Hillarie the other day, I’d like to suggest she do a vid or two so we can see the operation from her perspective. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

A positive thing about too much rain? It gave you a new and interesting subject to explain. The minutiae of farming is always interesting. The feast or famine of farming and the dedication that is required to persevere; most impressive. Hang in there Hillary and Pete!

I like the pace at which you move. I was told to slow down earlier in my life, more than once. I didn't really know what that meant, until some substantial physical damage was done. Now I have no choice, and it's all clear as a bell. Lol. Moving more purposefully or intentionally elongates our functional years. *Stop!...rain, turn 180 and come back about 2k miles. Lol. You're more than welcome to hang out here for a while.

Hi Pete. I am watching your channel not to learn how to farm, ( all I know about farming is the grass is green, so now I'm an expert). No it's more the quality, integrity and honesty of the people I am watching. God bless you and your family. Keep on smiling.

This is the type of stuff I dream doing before I expire. You are pure gentleman and scholar furthermore, with your partner by your side life is amazing for you, keep up the good work lady and gentleman.

Thanks for the kind words to the west. Scary dry out here. Seeing all the mud on your property made me jealous.

I’ve been here for awhile, I work Los Angeles making 160,000+ year job….seeing what you do has encouraged me to find a farm to eventually call my own when I get to retire or hell maybe even quit my job and do it full time if the opportunity presents itself…my friends and family think it’s crazy but I find joy being on the land and being around nature and it’s animals and seeing how to make them coexist and how manage a small farm….one these days when on vacation might try to come visit you at one of your farmers market… I appreciate the knowledge and the lack of advertising you do Thank you, your videos are inspiration and escape Take care

I live in northern New York and it's great to see a small farm KZfaqr from New York! I wish I would have found this channel sooner.

All is right with the world. Run, Run, Run!!!

You’re the kind of farmer my dad would’ve been if he’d been able. I can’t remember how many times he told me he just wanted to raise pigs! Anyhow, I’m real glad you decided to share your farm life with us! Thanks.🥰

It’s always feast or famine Pete. We can’t buy a drop in Minnesota this year, just like you couldn’t last year.

Thanks for sharing Pete! You've helped me with my sickle bar mower and keep a positive attitude going when it comes to farm chores. Plus my poodle loves to see your cows ;-)

I live in kentucky and never miss a video i thank the reason your you tube channel has growed so much is thatyou are not fake and you explain every thing you do THANK A LOT FOR GREAT VIDEO

I watch your channel is I grew up on a farm, and you bring back memories of how hard the work is and how satisfying it was.

Prayers for what we need. Thanks 😊

Job well done Pete!!!

Hopefully that rain comes west! It’s sure dry here in Saskatchewan and the grass and hay crops are thin, lucky we saw some rain to help our pasture earlier in the summer, it’s just hanging on. Thanks for producing quality content, my sons (4 and 2) and I always like watching Pete together.

I love watching you have thought me a lot and you are just a good man

We absolutely enjoy your channel and learn so much from you. Not to mention; your tone of voice is easy to learn from and listen to for hours as myself and my husband do daily 😊

My husband and I are in our early 70's. We live in PA, retired after 37 years in the military and various other jobs. We only have 3 acres but a great barn. So, we do 30 meat chickens this year and hoping to add pigs next spring. We enjoy your videos so much.. Hillary is a real gem and works right along side you like my hubby and I always do. I was wondering where you got the chicks from in Pa.. thanks for the great teaching.. We have learned a lot from your channel, even at our age...

I pray it continues to grow steady and that your style stays the same. This was one of my favorite videos because so many different things in one video. Operating the tractor using front end loader (my favorite) the helpful tricks with pigs to clean land and a great plan of rotating the laying hens out.

And we appreciate you and your channel.

I appreciate your positive attitude toward pretty much everything. Helps put things in perspective. Thanks Pete love your videos

Hi Pete. I am a subscriber for over a year. I am not surprised at your continued success. I guess with KZfaq is like with most everything else. You get as much out of it as you put into it. You upload with clockwork regularity, your content is good, entertaining and informative. I can confidently predict that you will always be successful with your channel. Cheers for Oz.

Hopefully you see this, but just wanted you to know you are by far my favorite person I follow on YT. Your passion, humor and honesty about life on a farm is so refreshing. I'm a new follower (last couple weeks) since my dad told me about you (he doesn't want ANYONE on YT, but follows you), and I love that you're providing content that we can talk about together!! He raises Brangus Cattle here in AL and we love what you're doing for the farming community!

Hello, just subscribed We had Cattle until 3 yrs ago, converted to firewood in our retirement. We were cow calf farm and use the feed barn to store firewood in, Its our video #4. And #62 We raised pigs, goats, Turkeys then, only chickens now! Take care and be safe! 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

Hello Pete and Hillary. Great video thankyou. Rain rain rain here also I appreciate the hard work and the knowledge your sharing. Thankyou

I’m in Canada and I’m starting my on small farm my Plan is to do the same you doing your videos are great keep up with it you tube needs more people like you real honest people thanks

Your channel is growing because the videos are the right length, the editing is fast moving, the content is "real", the talent is relatable, and, oh, the corny jokes are funny.

Hi Larry from Calif born and raised on a farm in Western Pa 60 miles No of Pittsburg much like you we raised pigs chickens and lots of produce it was our main income for mother to buy school clothes for six kids every Fall Sorry to hear about the rain sure wish you could ship some our way it hasn t been this dry in the 60 year I lived in Ca. Another fire burning close to the fire that burned Paradise almost three years ago it is terrible. Enjoy following the rebuilding of the MD this winter only trouble our tractors were green and orange sure you can relate colors green were not John Deere but Oliver Again I enjoy you show relate quite a bit to my child hood. Tks keep them coming

Please send us your extra rain Pete. Good idea with hand feeding the runners!

34 days of rain since June 1st in New Orleans area, 24" rain this time frame. Enjoy your videos. Carry on Sir!👍👍👍🍷

Came over from Junk Dobbers channel. I enjoy different farm and homestead channels. Your channel is very influential.

great job never the right weather,, to wet to dry sometimes you just can't win.. lol but you just have to keep putting your head down and keep chugging along.. love it.

Enjoy seeing your life. Thank you. We just found you this week. Live in Washington state. Be blessed.

You aren’t the only ones that need JC Water walkers to get around your place!! I’d gladly let the folks out west have almost all they want

Well it looks like you are keeping pretty busy with everything even with the rain

Most of us do not have the opportunity to go to a farm and you are great at explaining things.

Congratulations on your channel. It deserves to grow because you are so diligent and have a reasonable style. What happened to the corny jokes the last few times, I have missed the smiles they bring?

Thanks for your videos I appreciate them they bring back find memories of when I was a kid we had a small farm and as I grew up if became my job to take care of all the animals and the half acre table garden, you see my Dad was a commercial fisherman in Monterey bay, California. Now that I'm an old man memories is what I have left and I thank you for that.

You always make good videos that's why your audience is growing you're an interesting person to listen to and it's very good when you bring your wife into it we get to know her a little more

I think it's the overall content and yourself that people are attracted to. Good job!

I cant believe how much your channel has grown. Ive been with your channel since 1k subs and was just anticipating the day youd blow up. Before you know it youll be at 500k.

We are having heatwave 28 c over here in Cheshire ,England. Living in a rural area its nice to see how farming is done over the pond

thanks pete , all the best with the rain - australia

I am catching up on all your videos. I enjoy them all. Thank You!! Dawna from Brockport, Pa.

We're city slickers in Vermont. Sure wish we could purchase your yummy products online! We're 5 hours drive to your farmer's market. Oh well... maybe someday you'll consider shipping. Thanks for the videos. We love them!

Rain every day here in south Georgia too. It's so wet that water is running out of the yards into the street hours after the rain stops. None predicted for today but that's what they said yesterday.

I'm glad your channel is doing good! My husband and I really enjoy your videos!

And, we appreciate your videos

Hello Pete. I hope your able to read this. I'm the old fart from the mountains in Utah that was trying to get a hobby farm back east nearer to where we're from. The farm idea is to help us live longer and to daily appreciate the blessings the Lord provided. Well all that didn't work as planned. We touched down in western Ohio. I had my eye on a place in central Kentucky, 26 acres pasture, perimeter fencing. A waterer and a steel shop for infrastructure. It went under contract the day before i arrived. So we rented a place in Ohio. Well, oh my that wasn't promising enough to make a go of it. We kept looking for property both in Ohio and Kentucky. No farms for sale and the well was bad where we were. Awful water. Well Pete, we needed to take showers, drink water. I was desperate, we were desperate. We're a little long in the tooth. We were blessed to find a home in a subdivision in Kentucky. I'm here, mostly. We still have to get the last loads of stuff down from Ohio. Brother, I really enjoy your videos. I appreciate your family and the sharing of your lives with us. My name is Paul and my wife's name is Debby. I share jokes across the country and am depending on you for material. Keep it up. At least 2 little girls are benefitting through the suffrage of hearing their pop pop repeat those sage sayings. ☺️ And, check it out. Acts 17:10 We moved to Berea Kentucky. You got my dream job. We enjoy working with you ☺️😉 Respectfully Paul and Debby

Dig a trench and put in a French drain .devert the water where you want it. The water is going where it is making a mess on your farm . After you put in the French drain dig a big hole deep and it go straight down. Your very talented you could do it God bless you and your beautiful family brother 👉❤❤⚘⚘⚘😎😎

We would love to have some of that rain in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for your efforts

I have watched the channel for a long periode of time now and I love to you doing All these field jobs whit All these old tractors and you comes with a lot of great tips and tricks and not to forget All the great jokes 😂

Thanks it's a really bad drought here in North East Nebraska

Hi Pete we are getting strange weather system here in Northern Ireland, its rained on/off for weeks and now its going to be 28 Celsius over the weekend and thats a mini heat wave, over in Germany they are having massive floods . I remember over the summer when I was a kid (1990s) the grass was dry and brown , now its always green.

just found your channel…..what a refreshing change.

its growing because you have great content. i found you through Evan at country view acres a while ago and i cant stop watching. so much good information on your channel. Thanks Pete

I hear you on this rain Pete! We are in Pennsylvania and probably experience some of the same storm systems you do. I can’t remember a stretch of heat and heavy rains like this, flood notices are common this past few weeks. Hope for dryer weather ahead, for us both!

At least someone's getting rain. Lol. Here in Shenandoah Valley in VA is dryyyyy. Had to put cows on new pasture that was going to be made into hay. Such is the life. Also want to say how much I appreciate your videos. I have a modest farm, 22 cattle, and use "older" equipment. Make all my own hay and love my land and animals. You are relatable, genuine and down to earth. Great content too.

I hear ya with all this rain....I'm in M.I you get anymore rain you mite have to get a 4wd tractor.....prolly not tho huh Pete.....another great video....keep em coming Pete. And God bless you..ur family and ur farm

Have a good day Pete

Im in the Ozarks. We never complain about any rain we get in July & August.

I appreciate the call out for us here in the west

Love your farm Pete,insite of your jokes.

Making me jealous, getting all that rain

I really love Watch this channel is so great to see people working familys farms. Congrats for your hard jobs and my Best wishes for you and all your family. Asturias España!

Here in Europe we have lots of rain too, the ''Gerste'' , I think you call it barley, is ready for harvest but the rain says no. Greetings from Lower Saxony in the north of Germany. :-)

Thanks Pete and Hillary for taking the time to share your way of farming . I enjoy your channel for the information and insight into small farming .

Hey Pete I enjoy watching your videos very much I'm 24, live in south western Pennsylvania I grew up on my neighbors farm where we raise corn, beans and alfalfa crop and have about 65 beef cattle and 40 pigs. I'm an owner operated semi truck driver now sometime I'm in New York I'd love to check out your family farm! We also use the old red tractors as well 😀

Once I found your channel, I loved the content so I keep coming back. Being from an island in Caribbean and having been raised by a mother who grew ground provisions and kept a few animals, I can relate to your content. We didn't have much but, because of her endeavours in agriculture, we were never hungry. Keep doing what you are doing.
