  • Today the contractor is installing roof trusses on the pole barn addition. Meanwhile, I have some sickle bar mowing to do with the Farmall H, Hilarie and I move the second batch of broiler chickens out to pasture, and I grill a chicken for dinner.

    Pete, You said "Now we're cooking with gas" as you cut grass with the sickle bar mower. Is that a saying from your grandfather? When showing me how to do something my grandpa used to say "Now you're cooking with gas in both burners" when I got the hang of whatever he was teaching me. Thanks for triggering old memories; Planting our potatoes for the year today and grandpa loved potato planting day. And you will be happy to know we used a Farmall C and hiller/cultivator attachments to mark rows and hill the potatoes back in the day.

Your son is getting better at filming and drone flying absolutely wonderful to see Henry doing his part behind the scenes. Pete in the future o hope to send you some surprises for your farm to make your families life easier. Love you guys for sharing only the farm life. You have done a most blessed job of taking care of your family and these skills and knowledge will bless them in the endeavors of their life. I myself am very proud of you and you have been a mentor to me of just slowing down and smell the money (flowers ) ( pig poop ) ( cow poop ). A couple of goats may make easier ( on a leash ) to help with the mowing but good grief those monsters just do a great job too. With love from my family to yours we are very proud to know your family through you and the videos and how you have kept it personable but private. I salute you.

    I grown some veges and fruit on a 1/4 acre plot. I have been trialing and killing plants of all varities for 30 plus years at this location. Nearly every 3 to 4 years one neighbour or another would put up a fence cut down a tree or a tall shed changing my yard's environment. I don't waste anything until it is stuffed or totally useless. Grand daughter number 2 came to visit yesterday with her boy friend and he was really happy walking around asking questions and loving my simple way of doing things. All my vege beds are raised so I don't have to bend too far down and because my soil is clay. I have recently made a new one with all the old one mulched up and soaking in blood and bone infused rain water. I will layer wood lumps cardboard green tree clippings and rejuvenated soil from my old bed into the new one this will sit until spring when my onions and corn will start and as the winter crops die off we start again. This young man wants me to get him over to watch my operation finishing the next bed. It is so nice to have this opportunity. They both left with 2 bags of fresh. A taste of things to come.
    Just this second had a thought. I might attempt a worm farm for a starter kit for him.

    How nice to hear the H running as sweetly as it does. You have the touch with things mechanical. In my younger years, I restored several older tractors. My favorite was the 1928 Rumely OilPull. It would pull a 3 bottom plow and started on gasoline, then switched to kerosene. When working it, the water injection would use as much water as kero. Good times.

    I remember seeing some of your first vids and how you end up having to clip in front of those chicken and how your cattle are picky and don’t knock everything down in whichever pasture they were in and it made me think you should get sheep and however many year’s later it’s been still thinking you should get sheep… would be a great value add with minimal extra effort and almost no additional infrastructure needed. That is hair sheep of course not fiber. Best wishes.

    Like your choice of layer chicks, I stopped with leghorns a couple years ago. I don’t heat my coup in the winter but there is a light on a timer and in the winter I found that the leghorns didn’t produce like the heavier breeds. It was obvious as they were the only white egg layer I had.

    Thanks for your channel, I only started watching you a few months back when I got close to buying my own few acres (Deal settled we move in June 12th) mainly to get ideas about what is possible. I see chickens whethers and steers in my very near future :)
    Our new place is only 4 acres of grazing so a pretend farm compared to yours but while its in a great location with a very nice house the land has issues which that mower would be useful for. The previous owners for no doubt genuine reasons took animals off the land a year ago so the grass has grown wild and fallen over also lots of weeds it needs a mow and reseed (or maybe a large number of animals for a short time to eat and trample the existing) then a short rest before I reseed and bring on my own animals. Anyway I am in for allot of learning and work two of my favorite things :)

    Pete, I always enjoy your videos. Short story, we raised broilers when we had an acreage years ago. I ordered 25 leghorn roosters because I misunderstood my dad that those would be a good meet bird. I had to raise them twice as long to get a bird 1/2 of the weight. I gave up and had them butchered and yes only used them for stew meet.
