Dear Pete. I am a Swedish farmer who just started my own channel in English and I just want to say you are a big inspiration for me. I always end up learning something valuable watching your videos. Be it animal husbandry or haymaking or sometimes getting a glimpse into how you see the world brings about hope and leaves me feeling inspired. But most of all, I think what I take away from all these years of watching your videos is the joy and gratitude that you seem to have for every little or big chore that you were doing. It’s so important to stop and count our blessings. And you having a channel here on KZbin is definitely one of mine. Stay safe and take care from Sweden.

Thanks Vilhelm!

Really love your channel Pete. I'm a caregiver for 90 y/o man who grew up on a farm and we watch your videos together. His eyesight is poor and he enjoys the sounds of the cows, pigs, chickens and the sound of your old tractors running. He has dementia and the sounds of your farm inspire him to vocalize his memories of his Dads farm and the work involved with that and a few stories how he got his kid brother in trouble a couple times lol .

That is so wonderful that you and your gentleman enjoy Pete’s channel. 💜

Dear Pete , I’ve been retired for 6 years from a job as an Air Traffic Controller ( 32yrs) thanks to your videos I am starting to find peace with myself, I find your life and farm extremely relaxing, thank you .

[@mathbrown9099]

@williamo’connor: Dear William, Pete’s done the same for me, a retired(high school principal) for 37.5 years.

[@sisyphus9252]

Thank you William for serving in an important job filled with loads of stress. You deserve a peacefull, relaxing retirement. Enjoy.

[@robertpirtle3638]

Thank you to both of you for your services.

[@leowaisanen1672]

You mentioned: "... people heading home from work; I don't miss that. " That is the best part of the day for a lot of people that work for others. I'm reminded of the saying... People that work for others whistle on the way home from work while those that work for themselves whistle on the way to work. cheers.

I retired 2 years ago after 50 years as a dental hygienist, and my husband and I had a tiny house in wheels built, sold our house to our youngest son and bought 5 acres out in the country. Anywhere away from the coast in FL is country! We started collecting animals and watching your channel. We now have 2 Yorkshire pigs, 2 kune kunes, 1 bull, 2 cows and 4 heifers., 4 goats and approx 35 chickens, 2 horses and a crazy pony. We have learned so much from you and even did 11 Cornish cross meat chickens! We raised them for 10 weeks and the biggest was 10 lbs! We have learned so much from you! Not sure that we will ever be self supporting but it has been so much fun. We have 12 young grandchildren that love coming out here. Fingers crossed that the kune kune couple are expecting and some of the cows. You have put gas in our tank!!! We love on our animals like you do and make their lives as good as possible. Thank you for all you do!

[@simeonnghiwilepo6585]

Dear Pete, I have been following your channel since last year. I am based in Namibia in Southern Africa. Despite the difference in climate, it is amazing how much I have learned from you. I specifically love how you have a personal relationship with your animals. Please continue doing what you are doing because you do it wonderfully well. My greetings to Hilary....I hope I spelled her name right🙂

[@patriciastefforia]

I love how you talk to your animals and even address a lot of them by name. Watching your video's can make the worst day seem better! Thank you! It's obvious you love what you're doing and love your animals too!

[@vivianzuniga8814]

For me, going around feeding, checking waterers, gathering eggs etc is work but it’s also pleasant and relaxing. I really enjoy your videos Pete. Y’all are a nice couple. Funny and pleasant to watch. Thank you!

[@Peachmountainfarm]

You make a long winter a little more bearable. You are appreciated and inspiring.

[@wocoranch]

I absolutely love the comic in you Pete! The temperature readings never fail to get me to actually laugh out loud!

[@jeffrosen8237]

Pete has taught me that all those years I chased cattle I could have been talking to them and had them go where I wanted without all the fuss. I guess we need to learn patience with the animals and learn to give them scratches! I enjoy watching Pete and Hilary go about their daily chores and the relaxed atmosphere they have relaxes me. A big plus is their choice in tractors also! Thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@liamg2063]

There is nothing better than coming home from school and watching Pete.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

That was fun, though I always enjoy spending time with you guys. Glad to hear that our input has helped and you are welcome.

Thank you for the wonderful start to the morning! 😀

[@jimgable2422]

I never grow tired of watching you feed the animals! I grew up in a family of 5 boys no sisters. Every night my father would go out to feed our cows. He would tell my Mom that he was going out to “Talk to the Girls”. My father was an engineer so I enjoy the mechanical videos too.

[@MinnTee]

I watch your videos with my 8 year old grandson. I know it will be wholesome, happy and realistic. He sees the opposite of what he sees living in a city. He loves it. Even the tractor ones.

[@andrewpaige6571]

Thank you Pete for the information about the hogs in the pigs and the last stop I love it when you get personal with them and interact with them most farmers don’t do that. I extremely love this show it gives me an insight on farm life and wish from time to time that I was living on the five thank you for being the spokesperson for all the farmers letting us know the cows and the value to run the farm. May the Lord richly bless you and your family as you take us to the new journey in the spring.

[@nathanokken3565]

I enjoy when i can sit down after my farm chores and watch you do yours😂 Hello from Sullivan county NY, Thanks for the videos!

[@anitabeaumont7908]

Well Pete, I'm delighted to know your gas tank is filled again. We all need that from time to time. Glad you got a dose of that needed encouragement. After all, sounds like you have encouraged many of us out here in cyber land! Thank you for sharing your day

[@markprior6009]

Always a contender as the best part of my day watching an new episode 👍🏼🇬🇧

[@sadjaxx]

Thoughts on the channel. Until your channel I didn't know that egg yolks could be so dark and rich so I started buying pasture raised eggs. I didn't know that pork could be really tasty by itself, without a lot of spices and sauces, so I have been trying to buy better quality pork (and that has not been easy). Until your channel I didn't understand the importance of animal poo - and pasture - and all the business considerations. Most of all, your channel got me through last year, which was really tough for a lot of reasons. Your voice is so calm and pleasant and positive and thoughtful. You and Hilary and the farm cycle are so important. Thank you for sharing.

[@jeffboothe2102]

It's good to see the afternoon chores now and then.

[@harrisonchevy4452]

Hi Pete, in case I didn’t comment on your last video, I will here. For me it’s hard to comment on any of your videos because they are so folksy and down to earth. You and Hillary are what Americans should really be like. Kind, caring, and yourself. I always tune in and enjoy what you have to say or do. Keep on being yourself as you are truly loved 🥰 by your subscribers.

[@louisepanton7344]

Did I see correctly...the laying hens hear the feed bin and wait at the door for Hilary and their 'chow'?

[@escuelaviejafarms]

[@steveperyer4850]

Pete, as always you inspire me to help others understand how valuable it is to support farmers like yourselves, and stop supporting them, because if you do, you will lose the best in what a farmer does.😊

As a Canadian I use Celsius in the winter and Fahrenheit in the summer. It only makes sense that way!😂

Watching your videos reminds me of the value of spending extra for meat from humanely raised animals. I order my meat from small farmers here in Germany just like yourself. I want no part of the suffering that industrial farming inflicts on animals, the environment and the workers.

Love the animals and how you interact. I remember the pig on "Green Acres" , Arnold would sit in the chair and supposedly did so many things. Thanks for another relaxing video, I needed it today.

[@crowefamily1]

I don't know how you do it, you give them the attention you would a pet and eventually you take them to the butcher. I know it's just the way it is but I just couldn't be as loving as you seem.

[@turtl777]

I love hard work...I could watch it all day long

[@thosasmith2374]

Watching your videos is as good to me as following my Uncle Jim or his sons my cousins around the farm all day and trying to pitch in without getting in the way. Your methods are practically what was done in Jackson County Iowa in the fifties and sixties. They preferred M-H 44 or A-C WD but all methodology the same. Thank you, well done!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

I absolutely love your videos Mr. Pete. They are a great escape from everything going on in the world. I have learned so much from y'all about keeping livestock. I was a tobacco farmer as well as Daddy and the rest of my family as far back as I know but unfortunately for me, The livestock was gone by the time I came along. I still raise produce but it's seasonal unlike livestock which is a year round endeavor. I hope y'all have a wonderful day!

[@jdschini]

Love the “chores video” and a chance to watch you visit with, and feed all of the animals. However I missed seeing…or should I say “hearing from Patty”. Kind of seemed quiet without hearing her familiar bellow in the background. But it was good to meet Patty’s heifer. And she does look like a “keeper” for sure. All of your animals look very healthy and very happy…and that’s the best compliment I can give to a great farm family like yours. Thank you, and have a blessed rest of your week.

[@a.p.5429]

Pete, I forgot to reply to the video where you asked our thoughts on the channel. I wanted to let you know as someone in their mid 30's, I've found your channel to be very inspiring. I enjoy the tractor restorations a lot. Since watching your channel (and a few others), we have gotten into growing pigs each year and are currently debating on chickens. Please know that you are inspiring others to become sustainable, even if it isn't commercial farming. Baby steps first. Keep up the great videos and know that many different age groups enjoy your content. I'm ready to see the new pig operation you spoke about building as that may help show how to run a commercial operation with less acreage needed than with cows.

[@boscomac2434]

Where are you getting your temperature conversions from? Six degrees Celsius is 122 degrees Fahrenheit? Last time I checked, degrees F equals 5/9 degrees C plus 32. Therefore, six degrees C is 42.8 degrees F. Remember, water freezes at 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C.

[@zombbae]

I just redound your channel and I love it. Esp the pig content. It’s nice to see where your food comes from because we don’t really get to see that these days. It would be cool to see a cow processed too.
