Loved the conversation between you and Hillarie at the end of this video - it's really great to hear you both talk about your partnership.

It is so obvious to anyone watching your channel that is one very strong, capable lady:)))

It’s so refreshing to see couples, such as yourselves, share equally in the work for your homestead. It’s a beautiful property, and the house is just wonderful. I know it’s a lot of hard work, but it’s so rewarding to be able to see what you’ve accomplished. Good job, you two!! 🙏🏼❣️♥️❣️🙏🏼

Spot on Judy. What a wonderful family. I have drawn so much inspiration from this channel especially during all these COVID lockdowns.

When couples are both giving 100 percent to the farming operation, the shared responsibility engenders respect. Good for you all to model for your kids how life can work in harmony.

Seeing these big hay stacks makes me nostalgic of climbing and playing on them with friends, when I was a kid. Good times.

How I miss the farm life ! now at 78,I know all about,koulda,woulda and shoulda ! I schoulda left the city about 48 yrs ago !!

It's nice to hear Hillary chatting with you about being your partner... as she becomes less self conscious in front of the camera... your channel just makes me feel good! Your channel is my favorite!

It was almost too cute to see Hillary riding in the tractor seat along with you, Pete.

I like it a lot when he ends the video with a " I hope you have a great day will see you next time" 😊 it always puts a big smile on my face. ❤

Pete I love you and your videos. They are therapeutic for me to watch and I bet they are therapeutic to make. Thanks for sharing your farm with us. Cheers

It's a good feeling having a barn full of hay !

I love the convos between you and Mrs Hillary. You can just feel the love that they have for eachother

I learned to love the winter when I was young. On the farm it meant a calmer time and even some time for play! 👍👍👍

I have to say that my wife on our farm was working shoulder to shoulder with me and she was very good at it and raised calves that were unequal to none

Great to see both of you at the end saying your thoughts.

Your girl is alongside you...that's so sweet genuine honest people ever

Mornings on the farm look so peaceful . . .

The old "arm strong starter" oh I love that reference. I will say it takes one positive example to show the way for others to follow.

Interested how it starts so easily after not being fired up in 12 months. Modern fuel with its ethanol content is not normally good, being left more than a month or so.

For the past five months, I have watched a lot of your videos and I am inspired to live on a farm. Thank you Pete. I am in Lusaka, Zambia, Africa

Pete, another great video. Was good to hear Hillarie as well. Have a great rest of your Friday.

I like seeing you and your wife together

Thank you for adding more of Hillarie's perspective. Good to hear her two cents.

I forgot to mention this last hay delivery, but wanted to say that was nice of you to set off your rolls close by (and not hang the hay supplier up while transporting/stacking to/in your barn. He's probably just tryin' ta make a living too.... Glad you have hay security for the winter....

Hillary’s smile is beautiful. We enjoy your posts. Mercy, we’ve watched you so much we feel like you’re kin. Both of us raised in Iowa where my husband’s dad did some farming. I was the city girl who had no idea how much work went into farming. A farmer has to be a mechanic, meteorologist, chemist, carpenter, and one who understands animal husbandry, as well as a good spouse and parent. We thank God for you and your very sweet family.

Pete, you reminded me of something that my uncle used to do. He had a few acres to maintain, but wasn't a farmer, so this probably wouldn't help you. Since he had these acres to maintain, he decided that he was only going to have one battery for all his powered equipment. He had a homemade tractor, homemade mower (3 wheel hydrostatic), a riding mower (Cub Cadet), and a front end loader that he also plowed snow with. He got tired of going out to use something and finding the battery dead, so he would only have one battery that was always charged up, so if he wanted to mow, he would put the battery in the three wheel mower (he made this for mowing hillsides and banks, mow with it, put it away and put the battery on a float charge. The only machine he didn't change the battery into was the Cub Cadet as this used a smaller one. He did this for many years. In his younger days, he and my aunt would raise ponies, and he hand made sulkies and Pony carts to sell. He worked for a tanker manufacturer, so he would make stainless steel diamonds to embellish the carts, and his customers loved these. He got scrap from work to use in building his projects.

You and Hillary make a great team! She has a beautiful (contagious)smile! God bless you guys! I really enjoy your videos!💞

I would have gladly watched the moving of that hay in regular speed.

Great seeing you both, Peter & Hillary! You're looking well and so blessed. Be well.

Loved the sound when you cranked the A. Growing up we had a 1940 A. That one was armstrong starter. Now I have a 1947 A with electric start that needs to be restored. The 47 has a high serial #. It's one of the last A's built before they switched to the Super A. When you crank by hand they all have that same sound. :) :)

Every time I came home from work and drove up to my gate to drive into the drive my chickens would see me and come running I would say at least 100 yards from the chicken yard to greet me and let me know how the day went. I really miss that time in my life but I got super down and couldn’t take care of my flock going through cancer treatments and my wife sold everything.

What a beautiful morning Pete. Thanks for sharing, and the conversation.

The sit down with you and the Mrs was quite pleasing ... remember to stay safe and stay blessed

Thanks for sharing with your wife. I was curious as how she felt about farming and this video answered my questions…….So sweet to see you guys working as a TEAM! Many blessing to you both!

Ahh yes, that special age old relationship between a man and his bailer. That what was brought together by God let no man put asunder.

Thanks Pete & Hillary.

Thank you Pete and Hillary! You are very good company.

Would like more of you two together. Sounds like Hillary is going back to nursing when kids are gone if I heard that right. Great shows all the time, sound advice about "grounding" and peaceful to watch.

These videos just keep getting better. Yeah!

You two are so good together. I really enjoy seeing how you work as a team...happily.

Such a great organisation and setup you have, love to see farms with that diversity. I do recognise the pig rush around the breakfast table. 😊Great video as well of course. 👍

You exactly right about screwing the plug out of the touch control system slowly and waiting for the hiss...don't ask how I know... Usually during the winter, I will crank my tractor about every week and let it run for 30 minutes or so to keep the battery charged as I basically only used it then to scrape snow. Great video Mr. Pete as always!

Sent one of my favorite tools to use when working on equipment. Should be there Monday. Have a great weekend y'all

I'll be looking for it. Thanks!

If you have mushrooms on your property, that means the soil is super rich in vitamins and you can be really happy about it. Same with leaf clover.

Pete , loved it when you and Hillary talked at the end. Just love your videos.

Pete watching you and you wife at the end of this video reminds me of what my grand father said at my grandparents 50th Anniversary - pulling together makes everything work - we have been in the harness pulling together for 50 years and it works every day. You folks are proof it works !!

Ah! Yes! The man and his Baler, I can relate to that, I have lots of memories of them. and all the superlative's I learned from their breakdowns and the operators who ran them and the superlatives that used to roll off their tongues during "repair' time of them. I learned a lot of new words back then. only trouble is you couldn't use them in normal conversation! another lesson in life! Thanks for another great day on the farm Pete. and Hillary. God speed.

1:40 listening to turkeys is always a good day

Not sure why but “Howdy Piggers” makes me chuckle every single time! I appreciate your relationship with your animals and the fact they are treated with love and respect. Have a great weekend!

Just LOVE this guy!!

Glad you and Hillary found your niche,really love your farm experiences and emotional story of family.

Love to see Hillarie warming to the camera!! You finally “let” her ride with you. 😂. You need to get her an atv or gaiter or something!! She always seems to be walking. Just given’ ya a hard time!!! Really enjoy seeing you two working together.

Spent 3 yrs at turkey operation, I actually miss it... Sometimes lol. DiPaola's Turkey Farm out of New Jersey, sold throughout NYC green markets, very good 3rd gen operation.

Ah, that was lovely. You really felt the aura of the autumn taking hold and the year starting to wind down. A stocked up “pantry”, animals ready for the winter holiday meals. If we had smell-o-vision you could practically smell the burning leaves. But yes, as always, you can feel the healthy relationship between Pete and his family, farm and livestock. It’s refreshing in times of discord.

Nice farming philosophy .. and life philosophy really! Partnership is key to family success.

Hello Pete and Hillary. The Lord has blessed us with beautiful days, and to start wrapping things up for winter to come. Glad to see both of you healthy. Thank you for sharing your day with us. 🇺🇸

I’m only sorry I just got to meet your channel. I’m thankful I can go back a year’s worth of content anyway. You both are an inspiration!

Pete i am impressed how dedicated man you are im watching always men more power to your channel love you

I love Farmall tractors, as a kid growing up in Indiana I would drive around on my Grandmothers farm on her Cub , I was the king of all creation!

You guys are so real and down to earth; like real farmers should be! Blessings

Thank you for sharing your farm, and family with us!

Great to hear your evaluation on the farming partnership after all working together, teamwork makes the dreams work. Looking forward to tractor pull.

That bailer comment from Hillarie had Pete blushing!!!

It’s hard to soar like a eagle when you are working with a bunch of turkeys! :-)

OMG, we love you guys! The ending of the video was amazing.

I absolutely love watching your channel, you have the best way of farming I have ever seen. No negatives at all 😊

I think you can hit 200K before Thanksgiving the way your channel is growing. I am excited for winter and you can get back to the MD restoration.

Looking good Pete you and yours have a great weekend

Great team and teamwork!!!

I haven see anyone crank a tractor or any car since I was a kid! Love those old tractors! It brings back memories of my Dad. He’s been gone many years.

I love when you're both in the video.

I watch your videos every day and I love them God bless you and your family take care

You could consult new farmers . You’re such a wealth of a million kinds of info. Like how much of what feed for all those animals at all their ages, suppliers, Intro to Tractors through Graduate Tractor Repair and Restore. I love these videos!

I really love this type of farm. I've worked on a few of them,but I always loved the farms with self made things compared to the expensive store bought stuff. Like the watering thing for the birds.

I'm with you...it feels good to have a well stocked pantry / wood shed / hay barn. Whatever else may happen, there will be something to eat and you won't freeze.

Good day to you and family. Thanks for the "Benny Hill" you and Hillery put out, another walk down memory lane! Your wood heating is the same as my Grand Parent Home, they kept a container full of water to help moisten the air the heater burned off. The smells of wood heater and the occasional pop.

Just want to let you know that the content you provide helps me relax after a long stressful day. Your so inspirational… shared the channel a few months ago with my mother who lives 600 miles away from me and is caring for my father who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. He enjoys your videos too - he actually talks about “Pete and his tractors” and “going to the farm”. You are helping people everyday. In times of darkness you shine a bright light and Just A Few Acres becomes a haven for us… a welcome escape. Thank you! And LOVED the convo with Hill.

When we're little, honestly we are compatible couple. As we go along, it's terrible. Now that we are old, we go back to the old standard. What a life. Just going circle. Just like farming. Round and round. That life. I agree!

Beautiful sunrise! Love your videos, it gives us an education in the life of a farmer, how to operate in a farmer’s market, and the differences in the product you sell vs what can be purchased in a grocery store.

My Grandpa had a Super A I grew up driving. Miss that tractor. I had fun starting it with the hand crank.

Your face with all your tractors lined up. So cute!

What a wonderful family appreciate y'all !!

Hi ....We enjoy all of your videos that you put up for us to watch...Outstanding ...We have a small family farm in Ohio ..We lease the land for growing wheat,soy beans,and corn..95 acres..It was a diary farm at one time..cows, chickens, and sheep..12 acres of maple trees for maple syrup ...take care and enjoy your summer...

I’m watching in the UK de Dreaming of having my own homestead/ farm some day! Absolutely love your videos guys keep up the fantastic work 👍😀

Love your work, it’s so refreshing to see low tech but high intelligence.

I'm glad summer is winding down soon for you both. I feel either of you could easily do my job but there is no way in heyell that I could do yours. I wouldn't even want to try. You have a beautiful farm and family. Pretty BA that the worst part is the cold and not the THOUSANDS of eggs she hand washes. Eek! I'm not envious of that task.

Great job Pete. I love your video’s. I live on my Grandfather’s farm that he cleared. He got the farm from his Mother Fannie Lane Farmer. Yes a farmer named “Farmer”.

I've always envied the farm life but could never practice it. I had an uncle who was a dairy farmer. l looked forward to visiting him whenever we could. When the SHTF, small farmers have the skills and ability to survive much better than us city slickers can. We've become so dependent upon the infrasturucture, we'll be the first to go. I can't even grow weeds in my backyard! But one year, I did get a good crop of summer squash and okra. Living in the desert doesn't make it easy at all.

You always treat your animals with respect

Thank you for sharing Hillary loved the video buddy always great stuff take care and god bless everyone

I like the ‘arm strong starter’ on your snow plus tractor!

Thanks for the videos, you are the best!!

GREAT SHOW. HILLARY IS SO PRETTY AND ENJOYS WORKING !!!What more could a man want?

I enjoy your videos, it's so relaxing.

Thanks for taking the time to make your videos of your farm activities I really enjoy them keep that red power running!

A farm day is a good day.

Good morning from Maine!

I think it's beautiful the way you work together. It's so natural. Nothing contrived. There's an air of true partnership that makes it all work... and makes it beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your farm life with us

Good morning Pete.... have a great weekend 😀
