12:09 Grass stores its energy in the first couple inches of the stem, so you want to cut it high enough to leave those energy stores intact. In contrast, alfalfa stores its energy underground, so there's no reason to leave an intact stem.

[@daneflint9792]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing Sir!

[@donaldwallace7934]

Congrats on the new truck, Pete!!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I use a pour on called Spotinor here in Ireland and a garlic bucket lick which keeps the flies away. Great video again and best of luck with your new truck, love the colour 👍

[@mikeduffy7271]

Adrian I’m home in your time zone for a week.

[@chucksinger1916]

I love the butter I get in America from Ireland! Part of my heritage 👍

[@kieranmagee5850]

Well Adrian

[@michellejean8068]

Thank you there's so many natural remedies. And they work great. My horses never suffered flys etc.

[@lynnclark4208]

Congratulations!!! So glad you have a new truck. As a friend of mine used to say, Get the owners manual out and read it! You are the type of person that will understand every word they're saying. You're smart Pete. You have a wonderful day.

[@southtexashay777]

Both of you have a great day and congratulations on your new truck. We really enjoy your videos keep safe friends.

[@swenbos7760]

Hi Pete, if you need an idea for a video.. As someone who knows how to drive a car with a stick, a motorbike and a lawnmower, I feel completely lost trying to understand how you work the tractor controls. Handlever for gas? A different engine rpm for the pto? Do you start in gear 1 and switch gears when departing and increasing in speed, or do you pick a gear and stick to it? What I would love to see is a 'tractor driving 101' on the different systems you have there :-)

[@MegaCook40]

I agree with Swen Bos

[@JamesCouch777]

Interesting idea. Every tractor is different so it would be interesting to overview the differences.

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

I would be interested in that, too.

[@theirishantiquarian2363]

Good call

[@tomginaz]

Plus… how do they take gas AND diesel?

[@markprior6009]

Another great edition to the Larson farming show, thanks for sharing your life with us 👍🏼 p.s what a beautiful new truck 🛻

[@colinspencer6187]

It was nice meeting you and Hillary at the dealership! Definitely the highlight of my week. Glad you're liking the truck, I'm loving mine haha.

[@pamettmayer2391]

I want to say thank you for bring my father joy watching your channel. My father has a real connection to farmer since he was raises on a farmer in Hoffa Park Wisconsin. Father is having some major issues and I hope he pulls through, but at 90 it’s hard to watch. Thanks again for bring us quality time together that I will never for get.

[@offgridvillagelife]

To all of you reading this commentary, good health😃

[@reaperhunter7297]

Same to you

[@avahightower4685]

I could listen to you for hours. LOVE your new truck... beautiful color! Being so computerized, I hope it's not impossible to work on should it break down on you years from now. Oh, and again, thank you for communicating and spending time with the animals and explaining things the way you do. To me that is the heart of what makes your video's so good and satisfying. I always learn something new from you about farming. Love your bad jokes, too. lol They are the icing on the cake. :)

[@johnnycampbell5234]

Congrats on the new F150 Pete! I hope you get as much service out of this one as your old one

[@qaszxc12345]

Nice truck Pete.

[@jenaswartout4399]

Mr. Pete...that truck is so you!! And I immediately thought the answer to the bear joke was "get a receipt"

[@accessiblenow]

I finally retired my 1992 F150. 260,000 miles. Great truck.

[@Vagabond1975]

Thanks for all the educational and inspiring content you provide. Congratulations on your new truck.

[@sergiovideosergio]

Complimenti il camion azzurro che hai comprato è bellissimo 👍👍👍😃😃

[@DashCamEnthusiast]

Pete, I HAD TO go buy two of them fly traps and put them around my corral and minerals and HOLY COW (pun intended) I have to put new bait every 7 hours.. it’s insane!! I have noticed a pretty nice reduction in the amount of fly on the cattle here lately, overall I’m really happy with them!!

[@coffeepot3123]

Also great for humans!. ;)

[@FluffyFanny142]

What kind are the fly traps? We live next to a cow pasture. Flies are bad here. Thank you

[@laurastanimer5576]

Hi Pete we bought some of the fly traps that you have in your video and thanks for the idea

[@laurastanimer5576]

And they work amazing

[@clevjam]

Hey Pete, Very cool stuff!. I was looking over that old tractor at the end and thought it may be interesting to hear the whole story about the tractor. Good luck at the market this season. Should be a record year! Thanks again!

[@bertjeremy2831]

Hi I real injoy watching u I was told I had Stage4 salivary glands cancer . I'm just got done with my radiation and chemo. So now relaxing and watching you tube

[@jermynpedretti4761]

Thank you Pete for all the fly and pasture talk, may the weather stay in your favor Christ be with you

[@Liz-M]

Lovely truck Pete 😍 The price of petrol here is $8.55 a US gallon so I’m glad my car is only 1200cc. 😳

[@boat6868]

Before watching the video I thought that the new and shiny thing was going to the be hay wagon...so I was surprised. Congratulations on the new truck!

[@CPthetooladdict]

They cut alpha short so it's heavy and blows into the box easier!! That's a awesome truck very pretty! Congratulations #ifitaintredleaveitintheshed

[@terrylittle]

Nice Ford Pete! Really like that shade of blue! New truck, new tractor(756), new hay wagon by Dad. I'm starting to get a little jealous!

[@austinpatterson1352]

Thanks for sharing the video

[@essickfarms7585]

Been driving my 2000 Ford F-150 for 16 years great truck. Looking forward to seeing the John Deere hay wagon.

[@georgewallacejr5644]

Hello buddy love your new truck buddy 👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

Great video Pete. Varied and interesting. Would you do a run down on all your tractors? Things like what model they are, the engine, each one’s capabilities, what you use them for, how old they are, how long you have had them whether they (each one) are just farm tools or do they have a special place in your heart and anything else interesting about them. Hope that you can, I’m looking forward to seeing this video! Oh yes, congratulations on the new truck. I’m sure that it will be a great asset to the farm for many years to come.

[@g3agroundsllc103]

Good Afternoon Pete! My family and I enjoy watching your videos. Congratulations on your new truck. We look forward to your next video.

[@randyschultz4549]

Great video pete and I love your new ford pickup!!!!!😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nicolejanssens199]

A verry beautifull truck.love the color to😆😆

[@GeorgeandKatarina1824]

Nice truck. Enjoy all the new wheels. Hope you drove the truck over to your dad's to check on the wagon.

[@Cosm1cCream]

I laughed out loud when you said the baler needs spiked lugs hahaha I love this channel

[@Hor7236]

Bought my 2019 new a few years back, XLT sport with tow package. I didn’t want anything fancy like a lariat or platinum but boy those heated seats in the winter are nice! Haha

[@donnacochran3335]

I'd love that too. I grew up driving a tractor, learned to drive 3 speed on the column, a stick and now for the life of me I can't remember how to drive a tractor. All the others I can remember. I'm enjoying watching your videos. You remind me a lot of my dad, I miss him terribly. Thank you.

[@tabauman]

Hi Pete, Another great video! I know the feeling of getting tired of fixing cars and trucks. We normally drive a vehicle for a long time (last one for over 10 Years) and there's a point where fixing it isn't good use of time. We too bought new and it was a huge change. Just running the radio takes an engineering degree. Hope you enjoy your new truck!

[@kevind3185]

Congratulations on the new Truck. That's a beautiful blue on that Ford.

[@290wayne]

I was always a Ford man since the 60's. After my last 2. An the spark plugs breaking off in the engine. 14 of 16 broke off I had 2 V8's. I'll never own another Ford. Good luck... Took over a week to get the broken ones out an a $300. Tool.... But I do love that blue .

[@harrisonchevy4452]

A brief comment about your new truck. Beautiful 🤩 color. Blue for me is a very relaxing 😎 color. Reminds me of the sea. Waves rolling in, salt air, crabs 🦀, and peaceful times. Take care Pete, have a great day.

[@beckyrobinson5672]

Wow nice looking truck. Thanks for the video. I love it when the cows moo when you are around. The baby pigs 🐖 are adorable. Bacon 🥓. Takecare until next time.

[@ritabrunetti381]

Hello Peter. Good video today. Always looking forward to a tour and a so-so joke... but we do enjoy them. Need a good laugh these days. Be well.

[@mhale45]

Hey Pete your videos are amazing. My family have always used old equipment to farm until we sold our cattle about 20 years ago. Since then we have just slowly scrapped our old equipment. Now we have a few old tractors and some small implements. This reminds me of when our farm was in it's prime.

[@solitarybell2836]

Good morning Pete! Love the new wheels, keep them videos coming! Thanks for the entertainment can’t wait to see the next hay video

[@idablythe4847]

I’ve owned trucks most of my life. I was 5’ 4” now I’m 5’ 2”. I’m 71 1/2. When your short you see better in a pickup. I waited 16 years for a new used pickup. Bought 2014 with low miles in 2019. It’s a GMC. No payments. Saved till I had enough. Love ❤️ the blue of your truck. Mine is burgundy. My brother has a farm truck 1971 3/4 ton C-10. He’s put a little money in it and it’s a work horse. I never saw a truck hold weight like his does. We carried 50 cases of water in it and it didn’t squat hardly any. It pulls fertilizer wagons like nothing. Its a standard shift and 4 wheel drive. It’s a camper special. He has restored a couple hundred old Chevys. He also has an 81 1/2 ton pickup. They are really easy to work on. I’m still learning about all the do dads.

[@davidf.7782]

Another great show!!!

[@Sleekfalcon]

I felt the same way when I got my new to me truck. Congratulations, it may have been time to upgrade but you all deserve it. You work hard for what you have.

[@adamspioneerfarmflorida8802]

Congrats Pete on the new addition to the farm! As a farmer I understand how we have to make do with what we have until the wheels fall off. Glad your time come to be able to replace a very important tool on your farm.

[@kenhabig1473]

17 years!! Yep, I’d say time for a new treat/truck! We’re inching our Yukon toward ten and hope we can get close to 17. Enjoy what you do so much! Keep it up and know you’re lifting us up even on those days that may frustrate you!

[@bigcountry4900]

Pete, thank you for buying Ford, and supporting an American Company! Its a Beautiful Truck. I'm nobody to you, but I'm proud of you. UAW 863.

[@michaelharvey7613]

We have not yet seen any heat in Eastern Washington. Just cool weather and rain. Making up for last years lack of rain. God Bless

[@barbaraokin6507]

Congrats on the new truck. Wouldn’t be surprised if Hilary goes looking for you one day and finds you napping in the truck listening to a podcast.

[@wgoconnor33]

Beautiful truck 🛻 I’m smiling 😊 when I saw it

[@dannyeischens3707]

Hi Pete just want to say very nice truck and yeh everything has advanced in technology but congratulations on the new truck

[@harrisonchevy4452]

Hi Pete, just thought I would just mention about the weather out west, East Texas, it has been unusually hot and dry for this time of year. Record low levels of rain 🌧. 100 degree days.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

Congratulations on the new truck! We faced that mountain a year ago. I had two trucks, a 1993 f250 and 2002 Ram 2500. Both were closing in on 300,000 miles and maintenance was getting expensive. I finally bit the bullet, we spent a big portion of our budget on a 2014 Ram 2500 diesel. It has wonderfully replaced the other two trucks. They both retired themselves shortly with the new truck picking up their duties and more, allowing us to grow some.

[@d17spud]

Pete. I really like your positive attitude. No wonder your channel keeps growing 👍

[@frankrizzo3915]

Enjoy your new truck.

[@richardseidl198]

congrats on the new truck

[@elvinirons5959]

Beautiful n hopefully great new ford truck , hopefully you’ll get many yrs of great service n be able to figure out all the gadgets n buttons they have these days, love your videos !!

[@channelwanderer7010]

You got to love Pete's enthusiasm for his work. A man that left a white collar world to live a more wholesome life. The man and his family should be proud to show the world their lives.

[@frederickhill460]

OMG😮, did I just see new rolls of twine on top of the 269? Pete you are the farm and fly GOD!!

[@livinglifesiedways]

Wow! Pete, What a Beautiful Truck, and nobody deserves it more than you. Peace!!!

[@berryleeken8596]

I've been here for a very long time I'm watching from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@dmark6699]

Nice looking truck Pete.

[@dustoff1472]

I’m so jealous about all the tractors you have. I had an opportunity to buy a small farm or buy the equipment to use on the farm. I chose to buy the farm and save for the equipment. Your channel has taught me a lot about farming and it’s very much appreciated. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

[@jcamisa50]

Nice truck Pete, good luck with it. Love that joke, had to think about it for a second but I got it. Lol !!!! 😆 take care see you next time.

[@greenmama54]

WOW, nice truck Pete. I love that color!

[@shirleyjames9697]

I am so grateful for all of the time you take to video and share with us. I really enjoy watching your videos. I believe it's the Common Sense you share that is one of my favorite reasons for watching your channel. Thank you so much!

[@rogerringer7066]

When my dad was small grandpa had a big pig and was going to haul it to the sale. It was a hot day in Kansas and he felt sorry for the hog. He turned the hose on it, went in the house for a minute and came out and the pig was dead. He felt so bad besides the fact that they were broke. He never raised pigs again. The shock from the hose down put the pig in shock.

[@bradw6413]

My dream truck. Hard work pays off congrats!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Congratulations on the new truck Mr. Pete. Your Dad knows how to rebuild a hay wagon but that green and yellow paint...

[@paulsalvaterra]

In the future all the electronics will be out of sight to repair, my buddy just restored a 1966 ford truck, easy to work on

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

Good for you Pete! That's a beautiful looking truck!

[@jimproud3116]

Thanks for the latest video Pete. Nice new truck! I am a Ford Ranger owner - 2011. Has never given me a problem. Hope things go well this summer.

[@frankcadillac9151]

Green and yellow the color of corn. Had a piggy named Gracie she loved beer. Worked with an old guy that had the contract to haul broken bottles and cans from Carlings brewery, we had no shortage of beer.-

i just love these old machines :) i could watch and listen to them all day long

[@normawright3179]

I love watching your videos and life on a farm. Nice truck! Have a great week - see you soon!!!

[@jdgimpa]

Nothing like a new truck! I am still driving my 07 Dodge Ram that I bought new 15 years ago. I like the color blue on yours. It's supposed to get to 102 here in South Georgia today!

[@RestorationFarm9503]

Congratulations on the F 150. I've owned several and it will serve you well. They cost so much you have to keep them a long time!

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

Hello Pete and Hillary, I just want to say how much I love your videos and how much I love the positivity of the two of you whenever you’re talking and working on the farm. I think you represent what real farming is about. I have enjoyed your videos for sometime now and I look forward to them so much not only because they are much like how far in life was when I was on the farm but because you’re always teaching us and it’s always exciting, but you always make me smile while I’m watching your videos, and sometimes I actually laugh out loud like on this video. Pete you had me laughing while you were painting yellow rims… And then you had me laughing out loud over the joke about the Bear Charging you… I know some people are saying oh that’s a dumb joke but I thought it was hilarious and I’m still chuckling about it! My heart is heavy for all of the cattle that was lost in Kansas due to the heat and as you walk through your field and we’re talking to your cows in the shade I was glad for Iowa land and any Area that has any kind of trees and trees for the livestock. I lived in Kansas for 25 years approximately and out west it is almost like an oasis before you see a tree except a cedar tree and they don’t or not known for shade. I used to drive 4 1/2 hours across the state to see my sister down in the southwest corner in north west corner actually moved after about 12 years & I learned to pack appropriately in case of an emergency whether it be water for the car or water for the kids and I or a blanket or two extra and definitely food because there was no fast food for hours and then it was limited at a gas station two greasy hotdogs and steel chips so bring your own was my theory and I have plenty of activities for the road trip because the children would be bored within 20 minutes as it was nothing to look at it after but grain silos and feedlots! Congratulations on your new pick up truck. I think more people should drive your vehicle for 17 years! I am wondering if you will have a harder time working on this new computer truck. I remember when my Dad got a new Chevrolet and he was very frustrated because he said for the first time he’d have to take certain parts into the dealer to work on because they had made it to where the average man could no longer fix his own vehicle. And that was over 20 years ago. That was long before the pushbutton car or truck came out!! Baby pigs are looking really nice and I’m glad to see that they’re all still alive😊❣️❣️ obviously, mama is still doing well and hasn’t lost any weight. It’s nice to see all your baby calves doing well, also. Last we all just need to be praying for rain for the country because there is such a drought going on everywhere and you have some of the most delicious looking feels of anyone I’ve seen and I think you should be proud of the hard work you’ve done to keep your fields looking so nice. Thank you& God bless you both for all the hard work you do and being the people that you are. You do make a difference in our life of this I’m sure😊🌈♥️♥️

[@theresamcmullen4841]

Merry Xmas Pete !

Congratulations Pete . Very nice truck you deserve it ! Great video looking forward to more hay videos .

🐖🐈‍⬛🐄 Awesome video Pete 🚜

[@TheCajunHomestead]

Great video. Pete I have been saving for 30 years to buy me a new truck , to have after I retire, well I needed a new tractor to clean and use around “The Cajun Homestead” so a new TYM 574 it is. I will drive a old truck until it is my time to go garden with the big guy.

[@sieteseisnueve]

congratulations on the new truck, very informative videos truly enjoy watching them

[@shehumuhammed1589]

I grew alfalfa in Southern California, it is standard to cut alfalfa at about 3 to 4 inches off the ground. My cutting schedule was set at every 28 days, you could begin to cut alfalfa in the year as early as late February and go to October 12 that was my usual season end date.

Congratulations on the new truck. Hope you have many years of service with it.

[@connerb1954]

Nice video. Nice truck. Now you gotta build a new shed to store all your tractors in. Can you do a video showing all the tractors you have sitting around waiting to be restored? Have you ever considered renting some more hay ground so you don’t have to buy it in?
