Gearing Up for Summer

Correction: I will be at the Red Power Showdown in Bloomsburg, PA on Thursday AND Friday, June 13-14, 2024.

I don’t watch the channel for the pigs, the cows or the chickens, I watch the channel for the story… understanding the unique perspective and challenges that you face is interesting to me and provides me insight into the farms that I buy my beef from here on Onondaga Hill… the value of this not solely from an entertainment perspective cannot be understated and I truly appreciate it…in my opinion some of the qualities that have made your channel a success is the story, the transparency and honesty and the variety of content included, I never miss an episode and truly enjoy it, thank you

Pete is your passion for farming and life in general that make your channel so special. Doesn’t matter if you growing rocks to me . I would still be here

This what I like, your calm, measured, sensible approach to everything. Removing the stress from your life and everyone watching your videos lives for that 20 or so minutes. Doesn’t matter what you are doing it is soothing for us that watch. To be honest although I liked the pigs I’m glad you aren’t getting pasture ones this year. Plus the old sty area must make it so much more comfortable for Hilary with the chicks. I’m dreading the day that Patty goes but she has had the best life thanks to you.

The stories..the challenges.. your perspective..that's what I enjoy Pete. Thank you!

Pete, I could just sit here and listen to you talk. You are a wealth of knowledge, and have a great way of putting it out there for us to enjoy. You do your thing on the farm, and I'll keep watching. Thanks

Hello Pete, I have been watching your channel for a few years and get a lot of inspiration from your videos. I retired form my corporate job and live on a farm in central Illinois. My wife grew up on a family farm and now owns about a third of the land, which is worked by my brother in law and nephew. The farm business went from conventional row crops to 100% organic about 10 years ago, a great move for the business and the land. I really love the farm/country life style. I retired at the end of March, in April I built a brooder large enough for 100 chicks and then built 3 Suscovich style chicken tractors. I just had my first batch of Cornish Cross broilers processed at a USDA facility in Arthur, Illinois, an Amish community. I was very pleased with the result 90 birds processed out of 102 chicks, average weight 5.55 LBs and they have a great pasture raised taste. Cutting back on your operation is understandable, I just love watching you live the dream.

Excitement is not ever lacking on the channel, the farm now is focusing on the good things of life. Farming is hard 24-7 and lucky it’s not 25-8 ha ha. Many are here because we’re here because we’re here. Enjoy all you two do.

Peat my hat is off to you because without farmers like yourself the world would in a very bad place. You do a awesome job and thank you for everything you do

Those cows sure do have a lot to say! Thanks for taking us on your farm tour and talking about your works in progress & upcoming. It’s so neat seeing the chicks and hens; all chirping away at you, lol! I really enjoy hearing you talk about your tractors and caring for your grass and meadows. I get so much practical knowledge from you. Thank you

I want to tell you thank you for posting. My dad has watched for a long time, but he has been very sick and is bed ridden now. He absolutely loves watching your channel when he is feeling good enough. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your life!

I have retired for the past one year, before that nothing puts me in a relaxed mood than your videos. It been a while and I missed your videos. Please don't stop

I'm a little envious that you're able to wear a flannel shirt. We're already in the low 90's here in Texas. I don't blame you at all for scaling down. You'll find yourself doing what you have a passion for. I think that sharing your life with others is one of them. You're a thoughtful person. Thanks, Pete!

Good morning Pete. I’m up to 8 cows now! 1 bull, 1 steer, 2 cows and 4 heifers.

Just do you Pete, There are those of us who will always follow you on your journey thank you for bringing us along😉

Pete I really appreciate your honesty and candor , am amazed all that goes into running your place.Wish you and Hilary all the best

You’re not farming or living your life for us. Just do you, we’ll adjust. You’re loved. ❤

I used to not have much affection towards Patty, but I have grown to appreciate her. 😊

Pete, yours and Hillary's work ethic are an inspiration. Whether it's the cattle, field maintenance, birds, or garden you are always going full out. I often use your videos to get myself moving with projects around my own home. Thanks for just being you, and the best channel on YouTube as far as I'm concerned. Have a great time at the Red Power Showdown!

Still an amazing channel. As it has changed and evolved over the years, the underpinnings have remained the same- a channel showing the joys and challenges of the farm, presented straightforward and honestly. No long, drawn out jibber jabber to stretch the video, no nonsensical music or special effects…….just a decent man giving a glimpse into a wholesome and rewarding life. Don’t change a thing.
