Five Miles on the Farm

[@5jkratz]

Pete: Do the truck and yes leave the patina on it, yes it would make for a great advertisement at the farmers market. You are really a great small farmer and keep up the great interaction with us.

[@scottparker8425]

Totally agree with John...could be a great symbol for the farm at market and around town.

[@jameskelly8470]

I agree. I just found this older video. Do the truck. I love watching your instinctive mechanical work as much as everything else.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ― Mark Twain

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

Dad used to recite that to me😀

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

So true.

[@kdkracing4746]

I am loving to see both you and your wife sitting peaceably together on the side of the chicken area conversing about your day to day farm experiences. Seeing how she is so settled in to what you both are doing tells me that you are the salt of the earth and your drive is to be the best small farm that you can be and you are working to harmoniously maximize your land without depleting it. Looking forward to seeing that truck on the move.

[@chrystalsabin4091]

It was nice to hear Hillary talk about her pts and kids. She doesn't really talk much, unlike Pete of course. Thanks so much for sharing I really enjoy your channel.

[@pineywoods420]

That segment made this one of my favorite videos.

[@caseysomerville1003]

Keep up the great work!!! Love the videos, you've inspired me to start my own small farm, I'm 14, my family farms in Saskatchewan canada, I've started my own part of the farm with a little bit of land my grandfather and father let me use, I restored our old barn built in 1912, I've purchased and restored a 1961 cockahutt 560 and my grandfather let's me use his allis chalmers B and his massey 135, he let's me use his old square baler and lots of our old cattle equipment, we havent done cattle in 20 years and I've bought my own and worked for all if it with my own money, I watched your video on dexter cattle and now I own two of my own.

[@markballard9300]

Awesome!

[@chrystalsabin4091]

That's great for a 14 yr old, congratulations.

[@charlesburkhart800]

We're so impressed! That is a lot of work. You must love to see things change before your eyes and become more useful. Impressive!

[@ItsjustChris95]

You are restoring my faith in young people wanting to work hard and building themselves a better future. Somey, we are extremely proud of you. Keep up your great work.

[@flundgames7238]

Ok so I have got sheep since i was 13 I think my dad helps me most of the time but next year I will try to do most things my self except moving them over the road . And try to not use chemical fertilizer next year bc It’s not to good for them. I bought own manure spreader with my brother (a Bergman m64 spreader for those who are interested in that) and we have a manure overflow so it’s great timing for me

[@gregbobrowich7]

Great truck. Got my grandpa’s 1952 international l110 running few years ago. Hadn’t run since 1973. Turned her over by hand, cleaned carb and changed few gaskets, cleaned points and she fired right up.

[@billysmith6131]

O man that would be an excellent truck for Farmers Market. It was nice to hear Hillary talking

[@philipjohns1093]

truck? Yes please!!! I would love to see that old International up and running again!!! and yes keep the patina! Cant wait to see some videos on that! And the MD!

[@gregbobrowich7]

Great truck. I got my grandpa’s 1952 international l110 running few years ago. Last time it ran was 1973. Turned it over by hand, cleaned and did few things to carb and cleaned the points. Fired up.

[@cmyers9518]

PETE!! Yes, fix the truck!! If I could ever own a small farm. I would do it just like you, but with one new tractor to replace your larger ones. I'd love your Farmall H and that tiny one with the snow plow. And of course to have an old truck exactly like that! Just for goin to town! Please do it. I would personally love to see it all shiny and new like your H. Its just so pretty. I love your channel for a few reasons. But I think one of the main reasons is bc my mom grew up outside Buffalo(Im born, raised and still in Houston, tx) in Elma on a dairy farm. Every year we visit the 1,000 islands and lately all I want is to start a small farm like yours in that region. Watching you, I get a glimpse into NY farm life and makes me want it more.

[@ronniemusic898]

Ray price song Wish i was 18 again, great singer, great song. Beautiful farm makes me wish i was 18 again. love those cattle.

[@darrel1954]

Pete, the truck could be really cool to take to the farmers market. Put a nice stained oak wooden box on it, like the ones of yesterday. Paint it bright red and you're ready to standout at the market! Your videos are so much fun to watch because you are so relaxed living your life on the farm. Thanks Pete for sharing Darrel

[@ItsjustChris95]

I love how your daughter acknowledged Hiliare in public for the first time. That is soo true with kids. Ha, Ha, Ha

[@jonathanking3497]

I worked at my local grocery store in high school and college. I always acknowledged my Dad or Mom when they came in to shop.

[@ItsjustChris95]

That guy on Vice Grip Garage is hilarious. That old farm truck would be a blast for you to get going again. It would be awesome if you took us through the process like Vice Grip Garage. Enjoy this gorgeous weather while we got it.

[@COIcultist]

Never watched Vice Grip Garage but Mutie1 is somewhere in New York I think, he is great with anything from weed whackers to trucks?

[@Dratchev241]

Mustie is ok but Vise Grip has humour lots and lots of humour

[@baldmaggots]

@@COIcultist Oh boy if we couldn't get Pete and Mustie1 together to work on that IH, that would be a treat.

[@lancepearson4035]

Being a keen follower of Vice Grip Garage - YES please revive the truck - you could even wake up the "lightning make-it-happener" - probably not!

[@vivianzuniga8814]

I love the sound the grass makes when they wrap their tongue around it and pulling it with their teeth. Wonderfully pleasant sound.

[@billbyrnes4703]

A man and a woman and no drama!!! A thing of beauty. Thanks again, Pete.

[@jamesmeslener4870]

That’s a sweet truck. I can’t wait until you get it going.

That old truck is the bomb!!! I adore old trucks and pickups from the Fifties and before!!🛻❤️🛻

[@kevingearey6232]

Peter, you are more than an advisor or teacher for the wide range of ages of your viewers. You are a true mentor!

[@alexandert6489]

On a farm you don't need a gym. The weights are hay and heavy stuff, treadmill is walking the fields and don't forget spending time with the animals is relaxing I find which replaces yoga

[@lorrainewicenski305]

I love everything about this farm and how the animals are taken care of . Just a few wonderful acres

[@samoatodd8730]

I love cows! And it will be great to see the truck being restored…I know you can do it! Hillary is a fun gal too!

[@tylerwatermann3136]

Do the truck it will be fun to watch! I enjoy Derrick also! Just don’t forget to check the fire make it happener

[@ericsoto6467]

Love the shoutout to vice grip! Our family watches the both of you every week!

[@ZekenStreak]

That’s a nice ‘55. A great winter project. It could be the new Farmer’s Market truck. A metal flatbed with removable stake-sides would be handy. Take care & stay safe. Cheers from BC

The international Farm truck project would b amazingg!!!!

[@b.neallee7042]

I'm so thrilled you are doing this. I found my 1969 AMC AMX 390 AFTER SITTING FOR 25 YEARS.. The nice guy that owned it was a great mechanic and rebuilt the whole drive train before parking it 25 years ago. The only rust was from the car cover holds moisture that will rust. He painted it red and his wife drove it to work for a few years. I knew something had to be done and it called me. My wife thought I was a nut to take on the project. It took me two years to complete but it's never done. I hope it stays on your brain and it gets down right. Go to some car shows with your wife and kids and they'll tell those stories to their grandkids. You made my day. Don't let you tube nuts get in your head. Just think someday they get some help. Kill them with kindness. Only takes over coming stage 4 tonsil cancer to make you only look at the good stuff and shake off the bad. Neal

"I think their way of thanking me is not yelling at me" - this reminds me of children during puberty.

[@kirbyholton1082]

The International truck repair is a great idea. When I was a boy my Dad had a 51 International pickup that we kept on the farm until I was in my teens. Drove that thing around the dirt roads in the country. Great memories of that old truck.

[@andrewgasbarre6247]

Rough day at work, long day. Poured myself an IPA tonight and took a gander of Just a Few Acres Farm before bed. Thanks Pete. I needed that.

[@ChrisSmith-io5vw]

Hey mister Pete Miss Hillary I enjoy your show very very much in the hospital right now I've been here for about about a week pray for me yes I look forward as you get in the truck running and flatbed I enjoy watching you and Hillary a lot how to get the truck fixed and enjoy it God bless you all on the back of it and just enjoying it

I remember sitting in my back yard watching my chickens walk across the yard and whenever the hens laid there eggs they sing. I laugh whenever you telling us about the chicken starts singing.

Oh the old truck project is a must! That would be great addition to your booth at the farmers market and owning an old truck is great for the sole I have my Grandpas 64 Chevy pickup and it’s always the talk at our farmers market!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Watching the livestock do their thing is very peaceful especially the cows grazing. I'm sure you caqn get the old IH truck going like you did all your tractors. Great looking turkeys!

[@amberharms5279]

Get that truck going, stick a bed on the back and use that to haul all your freezers and chests to market. That would be so awesome! Might even drum up a few more customers just because of it being unique and not everyone driving something like that. If not customers, new friends!

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Well I'll be dipped! That IH truck looks like the perfect goin' to town rig!

[@plankface]

Oh heck yah - seeing that truck come to life will be kick butt.

That old IH truck would be perfect as a farmers market truck! I agrees with the patina and farm logo on the doors. Flatbed of course

Just beautiful! Thank you for helping we to travel back in time. I’m 66 years old and lived a pretty good life until I found you. Now it’s even better for these trips back in time where the views, sounds of old days farming wakes un the kid in me. So real I can smell the grass! Thank you very much fort this!

[@rebeccamcdowell9654]

We just watched your 'Just 5 Miles' video again from October 2022. We find your videos rather informative and detailed, and your interaction and camaraderie with the animals is very interesting. It is HARD work and you both make it look easy. Now, about the cheese factory in France and the deBrie. That joke was absolutely funny. It had me laughing so hard, and when I stole your joke and forwarded to my circle, the responses were hilarious! Continue the great job that you, Hilary, and the family do.👌🏾💯

[@larrydavidson3402]

Definitely do the truck Pete. I think that would make a real cool project for you.

I look at it like your cows are just talking to you their way of communicating not complaining. Sweet💕. I love that.💞

[@rickshafer4241]

Yes, do restore the old International Harvester truck. My dad's first cousin was the International truck dealer that covered southeast Iowa for many years. Almost everyone in our family and in our neighborhood drove several International pickups and trucks. The last pickup my dad had was a 1973 heavy duty half ton that was fire engine red. I was so proud of that when he brought it home. Yes, do leave the original patina if you can. I prefer original patina, unless the paint is really bad.

[@robertmoore6700]

Pete, I love watching you and Hillary sit and converse. You two are what I would call the perfect match. Yes, we would like to see the ole truck run again. However I personally would prefer to see the 656 and 756 return to full glory. Your friend Bob

[@dennisbellinger333]

I have a friend that’s a hog farmer in Shiawassee County Michigan. And he also collects old International trucks and fixes them up. He had a beautiful red sixties model that he used to drive to work.

HI there Pete. I just finished thinking "What truck, let me see it"...then you took us to see it. I love it. I can already see it with a nice wooden deck and sides. That would complete the package to have your farm logo on the side of both doors and role up to the Ithaca farmers market in it. As well as driving to town, the butcher and your farm supply store to name a few. I can't wait to see it going...no presser, just excited.

[@stephenboggs6113]

It seems to be fairly effective for keeping deer out of our electric fence when we tie orange flag tape along the fence… usually one piece about every 30-40 feet. I suppose the deer can see the tape blowing in the wind and somewhat stay away. It’s a little unsightly, but fairly effective.

[@Qborg2000]

I realized why I like this channel so much. It brings me back into a world that isn't so big and I'm so small. It brings to place when times were simpler and life had a connection to the Earth and each other. So peaceful...so humble.

That truck would be an AWESOME "Ambassador" for the farm! It will stand out in a crowd of cars, so everyone will look at it. And I agree with clean the patina and then clear-coat it to lock it in. Stake-sided flat bed would look pretty sweet too!
