Time to Build an Ark! Letterkenny Edition

It keeps raining, and pretty soon it's going to be time to build an ark! Hilarie and I have a bit of Letterkenny fun with our water situation. And I spend some time the importance of understanding how to handle water on a livestock farm: understanding watersheds, and how to channel, filter, and retain water.

-We do not sell from the farm

Personally, loved the comical beginning, love the water issue explanation, and 100% love the tractor and mechanical side as well. Having said that, I appreciate what you share, and as you feel up to it, sharing it with us. Don't let it(us) turn into a burden, sir.

Don’t be discouraged by the audience. I look forward to every single one of these videos and I’m very excited to see you start on the MD again. Go at your own pace. We’re just along for the journey.

[@AmandaE1964]

I'm a 57 year old city girl and I've loved all the videos, the tractor fix, the pastures, the brown baby cow...market. Doesn't matter the topic. There is something soothing about this channel and whatever you are doing, I enjoy it :)

[@nicholasdicaprio3788]

I can only speak for myself but there are MANY farming channels on KZbin to pick from. I believe people watch the channel because of YOU and YOUR personality and not necessarily for information they can get from most other farming channels (not to say this channel isn't extremely informative because it 100% is). I for one enjoy the tractor videos, and am guessing the gear heads that are being so negative in the comments are not your normal audience or even subscribers. This channel is a chronicle of the farm and your life on it as it were, and most of us are happy to watch all of it. Cheers!

[@crawdaddycolts9354]

I Agree Nicholas I look forward to watching Pete reminds me of when my Grandfather Farmed back in the 60's and 70's such a calming feeling being back on the farm even if not in real life for a bit can just listen and follow along like I am there, Pete is very knowledgeable , funny and love how he treats his livestock.

Whatever you show Pete, I’ll be along for the ride. By the way I unsubscribed to about half of “my” KZbin channels and kept only those I found myself really looking forward to seeing. You made the cut. Thanks for what you do and as I’ve said before I’m more interested in watching you do than hearing why you do it. You referred to that by saying you feel pressure to action. Don’t feel pressure from me. I’ll be along watching no matter.

Pete just keep it real and natural. Tips help all of us farmers and not one of us has all the answers. Always do that which brings you the most joy.

[@volvojohn9036]

When running a business, i had to always remind everyone "Don't let that 1 out of a hundred client ruin your day, remember the other 99 that appreciate what we do". And to become real, you have to say it out loud. Keep up the great videos Pete.

[@markgoodman6249]

I for one loved the MD videos, and look forward to more.

[@jakefrechette3224]

It saddens me to hear that sharing your journey to restore a family tractor has dampened the joy you receive from doing the project. I personally find each video, regardless of content, to be a gem and I know I am certainly not alone there. The foulest mouths are the loudest unfortunately. Hope to see more of those videos come winter and will try to praise louder than the haters.

[@xcalibur8320]

The reason why I like your videos is your personality and they way you look at life. Thanks for the invite into your family’s life.

[@jeanohlerkingflower7284]

At our house we look forward to every single post of Just A Few Acres… SOOOO enjoyed your back and forth with Hilary! We laughed at both of you. So silly. Since we were both raised in Iowa, every post is a taste of farm life for us (as we sit in warm and dry and never-go-on-daylight-time Arizona). Please keep being you. We love your chats, your relationships with the critters, the intricacies of your tractor repairs, and your sometimes shocking fence repairs. All of it! God bless you and your family.

My wife and I love this channel! If you need a break, take it. Don't worry about the audience, we will still be here when you get back. Nothing wrong with breaking the show up into seasons. Turn comments off if you need to, no worries. NO WORRIES! We will miss the show while your weather the winter, but will be joyful when spring comes back with you.

[@Truthandlight77]

Don't let the naysayers get you down. Life is beautiful. Dust off your boots, get you where you want to be. The reason they chant their negativity is because they are jealous of not having what you do. Take a break if you need to - but your fans (like me) find you uplifting, inspiring, and extremely helpful. Stay humble my friend.

[@magwakeener]

I agree completely. With one exception (or "augmentation"): Negativity is usually broadcast by negative people. No matter what they are "observing", a "half full" person (or worse) usually has something to say. And, what they do say is usually not "value added". So, yes, they may be jealous. But there are other reasons, as well. And ALL OF THEIR REASONS need to be ignored. Not easy, you say Pete? Well, there's another job for you. I don't know the financial implications of KZbin posting. I don't want to know. But income streams are often traps. Post what you want and when you want. Your joy is up lifting.

[@benchacon4983]

[@aussiepressconferences.4755]

Peter, I’d be happy with some very relaxed videos of you wandering the fields, talking to and patting the animals and just showing how a farmer connects with his animals. A lot of the joy of your videos is the relaxed feel and humanity to bring. Show us more.

[@ginnyv812]

You know Pete, you are so personable, I enjoy watching whatever you happen to be doing! (Even the MD project, even though I am not a mechanic) I also enjoyed it when your Dad & son joined you. I thought that was pretty cool! We all watch your channel because we love to see farm life. If that means slowing down, that is just another facet of farm life for your viewers to appreciate. 🙂

[@thomascdewey2]

HI Pete, Your channel is the reason why I watch KZbin. Your farm, livestock, antique tractors, and general lifestyle are things I am interested in. For those that are on the treadmill and can't seem to get off of it, you give us a viewing window to our own futures one day. I work in public service and have 6 years left before I can step off. I can't wait to wrench on my own antique tractors and feed my own chickens, and sit in my field and just watch nature do it's thing. I love what you do and look forward to your videos, regardless of how "busy" you are. You've taught me a lot. But don't let us change who you are. Keep being you. Thanks for all you do.

[@johnneeley6354]

Just keep doing you. If you did a 15 minute video of you walking your fence lines in the middle of a blizzard you’d still have me on the edge of my chair. I’d watch you doing a mucking the stalls video at least once a week. I immensely enjoy your personal interactions with nature, your land and your livestock. Don’t change. You’re my calm spot on KZbin.

Pete. You seem down about the audiences of your channel. The mechanical winter work needs a greater emphasis on saving money by repairing what you have instead of going into more debt. Keep stressing that debt accumulation can kill an otherwise successful farm business. I am looking forward to you restoring the International truck. Every farm has old equipment that can be given new life and help the farm finances

He is kind enough to share his life and farm with us. I understood exactly what he meant. Apparently you did not. You are part of the problem, not the solution.

Your water control methods are textbook best management practice. I’m a junior in college studying watershed management and we talk about this all the time because it’s the biggest issue today, especially with the Chesapeake Bay. I wish all farms would do water management as well as you do. Everything you said, from keeping the cows out of the water to leaving that swale to grow up and help stop erosion, was perfect. Well done Pete.

[@lanaarpin6540]

Pete ignore the naysayers. I look forward to every video you do. I am a 71 year old woman who is kind of envious of your can do, will do attitude no matter the job. I never thought I would enjoy watching anyone tear apart a tractor of all things. Just makes me want to drive one just once. Thank you and Hillary for a glimpse into your busy lives.

[@sheldoncrane3588]

Pete speaking for myself and I'm sure many others, I watch your videos mostly for the education. "Weather" it's farming, marketing, or maintenance I am learning something from all of your videos. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is worth more today than you think. The jokes too.

[@stevenharris7020]

Live YOUR life - and thank you for bringing us along! This is a farming channel and as such involves all aspects of farming, one of which is the real mechanical side. KZbin, aka "viewers" (such as myself) are blessed to have you and your insight into all things farming. From the mundane to the madness, from the flocks to the floods, from rain to Rusty - it's all good. I, for one, look forward to the completion of the MD AND anxiously await your interpretation on the International truck.

We like how they vary from the daily work and repairs (of both items around the farm to the MD rebuild) all the way to your reflections/discussions. There are a bunch of other farming type channels out there but yours is the only one worth watching. Keep up the great work.

[@RGKnightandSon]

Pete. It was your IH tractors and workshop content that brought me to your channel in the first place and I really enjoy your knowlage of your tractors. Don't give up on that side of things through the winter! Don't let the haters grind you down. If you want to learn how to deal with the negative comments, look up Lord Muck's channel here in the UK, he just tells them if they don't like it, shove it!

Pete I have like 4 youtubers which I watch every episode, yours is one of those because it's real your editing is sharp and clever along with your downhome style brings us all happiness. Since I grew up on a tractor as I've shared before just the starting and driving puts me right back in the seat! I do miss farm life which for me is 45 years in the past yet your efforts bring it back to life for me. For that I thank you sir.

Pete, I sure hope you continue to film your restoration of the MD... I absolutely LOVED it this past winter... Reminded me of my dad... I can't image the filming something I love to do and have dumb people comment on it with stupid opinions... Please ignore them and continue filming the MD restoration. I am truly inspired by your farm, your life, your humility and your story. This my sound silly but as a 40 year old man, on my bucket list officially is to meet you perhaps at the farmers market, but to tour your farm. I know you don't want that, and i'm not asking, but you are inspiring a generation... I promise you are! My family is forever changed as a result of watching your videos.

[@rode792]

Pete, for me I would really appreciate seeing the more natural flow of the farm. We moved onto a 7 acres homestead a year ago and I struggled last winter understanding why all the youtubers seemed to have more projects/work in the winter than I had (or wanted to do). I still work a 9 to 5 (from home) and it felt like the cows, chickens, sheep, and homestead workflow in the winter wasn't that bad, but watching all the youtubers I always felt like I wasn't doing enough. I finally realized they were doing extra projects for thier viewership and gave myself permission to not be as busy as they seemed. Give yourself permission to show the reality. While I am not very mechanically inclined and would have not sought out a tractor rebuild video I watched all your MD videos. It was more like being at a friends house chatting in the garage while they tinkered away on a project. I get that may lose some views for those videos, but I really enjoyed them and watching you and hearing you explain what you were doing actually gave me more confidence to do more with my equipment. You be you, I am here for whatever you and your family decide to share with us wether its farm chores, cooking, chats with the cows/chicken, or a sit down chat by the fire.

[@Marialyse]

Pete and Hilary - I have sat and mulled over what you said toward the end of this video. All the comments of negativity.. I am 75 and have been on my property since 1997. There was basically the land, a well and stick framed house with absolutely nothing done on the interior. From the very beginning I never heard a word of encouragement on what I was doing and what my dreams were. I was told to hire people to do the work. I started with 13 acres and now have 30. A lot has been done and a whole lot more to do. It got to the point that all of the negativity really got to me. Then one day someone who understood my feelings and dreams told me “these naysayers are just jealous because I am doing what they want to do and have not done”. And those who do not have the amount of land I have. I have always been one to share knowledge. But people seem to want to tell you what to do more than learn from what you have experienced. Do not change the way you do things because of the naysayers, keep on trucking the way you are doing now. There those of us who realize that you are a wealth of knowledge and wisdom learned from experience. You had the guts and fortitude to go off on to this lifestyle and generous enough to share with us. Okay I will stop here. From the bottom of my heart I thank you so much for sharing it us all that y’all have accomplished. KEEP ON TRUCKIN

[@davidbaker690]

Personally, I like the everyday chores videos. I live in an HOA neighborhood without even the opportunity to have a garden, much less chickens, pigs and cattle. Those videos are soothing and uplifting - like Seinfeld episodes - about “nothing”. Mechanicals, not so much. But that’s me. When I was younger and cars were simpler, I used to do some light repairs like water pumps, belts and hoses, or oil changes. I was never any good at it and it was slow torture for me. So I’ll just opt for the everyday stuff. BTW - the info about the swale was interesting and provided insight into an issue I had no clue about. Thank you.

[@alexbrown7786]

As being from an old small farm also I know the way of yearly routine and getting into the shop in the winter to repair machinery. I loved watching last year with the MD (very interesting) and how you do your work, organized, clean and taking your time. I live in Costa Rica now on any given day these days we can get 5" of rain in an hour, so far since April we've gotten 2 meters. Have a good day yourself.

[@charlenasutherland]

I can’t speak for anyone else but for me, I enjoy whatever you chose to put out there. It is a visit for me, a chance to see a farm again and feel a little part of it. I am retired but worked in a unique environment. I was a public safety dispatcher answering 911 calls and sending help in the form of Fire, ambulance or Police. There were periods of fast pace events where every second counted or long stretches of nothingness which was usually 3 am to 6 am. So the change that has on your mentality is profound but ultimately what I notice now is that I have a very short attention span. I want to see something different all the time. So I love anything you do with the tractors and Farmall is my favorite but after a few minutes I’m ready for a change. Lol. That’s why I like the way you have multiple things going on. So in short, it’s not only exciting content but also mundane content that I enjoy. It’s the variety that makes it real and interesting. At least for me. Thanks for the views

[@ronquamme3373]

[@izaksmith538]

Regarding the fluctuations in viewership with the different content- please just keep doing the videos YOU want to do. Like I said before, your videos reflect the ebb and flow of a farm family’s from season to season. If your viewership flows similarly will that be such a bad thing? I would love to see you working on clocks and learning a new song. We enjoy the way you segue from descriptive explanation to philosophical musing and back again- it’s like hanging out with a friend. When it comes to comments just skim them to get a tone and if it’s self righteous and judgmental just skip over it- those comments are made to make the commenter feel better about themselves by tearing you down. Just be thankful those people are not in your life. I have seen all the mechanical videos and I don’t know anything about tractors or cars- I enjoy the zen of the process narrated by an expert. I’m always fascinated by how you know the name and function of every little part- your friendly competency is something everyone needs in their lives. Also, I hope Hillary’s performance in this video is a harbinger of things to come! We would love to see both of your routines and hobbies interspersed- it doesn’t matter if you (Hillary) like to be more quiet - there’s so much space for quiet in our lives that we pack with noise and it’s good to sit with quiet activity. Anyway, forgive my rambling, but just keep showing us what you love and I promise the viewers will follow!

I love the tractor restoration videos but I also love the sitting in the field with the cows videos. Maybe it's just envy. I've been working on my Case 300B this year because you inspired me with the MD. If only I had 20 acers instead of 2.

Hey Pete, I feel like I have learned so much from your tractor videos, really love em. Don't let "US" get you down. Your videos help me get away from the rush of city life. I like the pace of the videos, it's not "magic," not fully restored in 30 mins. I like that. -just my thoughts.

[@jnrshirk1433]

yes, the back and forth with Hilary was the best. and we love all your videos, god bless you both and your family.

[@jameswiley9969]

Loved, loved, loved the way y'all started this video! As for what people want, it doesn't matter. Truth is, I enjoy the mundane laid back realistic documentary of life on the farm. I've learned so much from you and that only happens because what you do is real! Please keep it genuine because that is what makes your channel special!

[@samoatodd8730]

❤️ Pete, I’m thankful for you and Hillary. You both add so much to life in this upside down world we lived in. This season of change is always a bit bittersweet….. thank you for being willing to share your life with us…

[@izaksmith538]

I have no words- I love this channel SOOOOO MUUUUCH-uh!!!! Letterkenny is such a great show and to find people my age or slightly older who know that show is, well, just a delight! I will be thinking of you guys tomorrow when I’m butchering the broilers. Thanks for everything you do.

To hell with the criticism man don't even give it a second thought we run a small machine shop/engine shop and love to sit and watch your content (ALL of it) in down time relax time. Stay blessed and stay well my friend, stay frosty.🤙🇺🇸🇷🇺🙏

[@mabdman2140]

Awesome intro. I enjoy the mechanical videos. You have to have diversity on your channel.

[@russphillips835]

Hilarious 😂 I love it!

[@tomhaffey1588]

Pete, be yourself. That's what makes you happy. It makes your viewers like myself happy when you are in harmony. Keep your chin up Pete.

I love the mechanical videos! It’s easy to see the joy that brings you also. Oh , the mechanical work is a big part of showing how you keep the old farm equipment running and demonstrates explicitly how you can run a farm with old equipment. We love it!

[@uncr3ditedcreator564]

Learning is never easy. I had no idea of what you were talking about when you explain your mechanical restorations and parts. However, you did provide an inspiration for me to research the difference of today's equipment verses the restoration of vintage. Keep inspiring, not everyone will see what you have to offer. The "Likes" are not always the measure of your purpose. Thank you and your family for showing the world what you know.

I love the farm, mechanical, and sometimes life advice videos. I hear you on the critical part. Mechanical people tend to be very black and white and the internet only seems to inflate that sentiment. I will still watch regardless if you decide to not post those types of videos, and I am sure your other subs feel the same.

[@jorisschleicher1487]

I enjoy 99.9 % of your videos, don't change anything, I enjoy watching farm life and being a retired mechanic I really enjoy the tractor rebuild.

[@larryzavitz3439]

Beginning was hilarious Pete! Keep up the great work. Would like to see your rebuilds. Keep it real!

[@larrycrawford173]

Boy Pete, it’s your channel to do with as you enjoy but I was really looking forward to the other half of the MD restoration. I really enjoy all your videos and think you do a great job balancing everything you have. You and Hillary really inspire me on days I’m tired and don’t want to go out for chores. I hope you two have a great day!

[@malindasamarasinghe9909]

Loved the videos related to mechanical things.

[@lordmetal3842]

THE MECHANICAL WORK FIXING THINGS AND TRACTOR RESTORATION ARE MY FAVORITE VIDEOS .

[@bluepower_4life703]

I like the mechanical videos. Love seeing the old tractors come back to life. It's an important part of keeping the past alive. People need to see how farmers from the past kept this country going.

[@judybahniuk9126]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos, the comical intro was hilarious and I love being able to see your life in the farm from my couch and wish I could do that. Don't let anybody get to you, you do what's right for you and that's the right way. You need skin as thick as a rhinoceros! Any time you let people into your life from the public some jerks will be jerks. Pay no attention. I love you guys and your life and I'm sure that goes for the majority of your followers, please carry on! 😘

[@iagellatly]

Great intro. Forgot to double tap your coffee mugs on the table though before getting to choring.

[@andrewpaige6571]

Your self talk was real and you made it personal and that I enjoyed. A lot of us haven’t had experience of a real family but you take us on a journey all we have to do is sit back buckle up and ride and listen to you. Thank you for taking us on this journey I look forward to new videos and enjoy your personal views about any subjects thank you so much Pete .
