    Dear Pete. I am a Swedish farmer who just started my own channel in English and I just want to say you are a big inspiration for me. I always end up learning something valuable watching your videos. Be it animal husbandry or haymaking or sometimes getting a glimpse into how you see the world brings about hope and leaves me feeling inspired. But most of all, I think what I take away from all these years of watching your videos is the joy and gratitude that you seem to have for every little or big chore that you were doing. It’s so important to stop and count our blessings. And you having a channel here on RUclips is definitely one of mine. Stay safe and take care from Sweden.

    Really love your channel Pete. I'm a caregiver for 90 y/o man who grew up on a farm and we watch your videos together. His eyesight is poor and he enjoys the sounds of the cows, pigs, chickens and the sound of your old tractors running. He has dementia and the sounds of your farm inspire him to vocalize his memories of his Dads farm and the work involved with that and a few stories how he got his kid brother in trouble a couple times lol .

    I retired 2 years ago after 50 years as a dental hygienist, and my husband and I had a tiny house in wheels built, sold our house to our youngest son and bought 5 acres out in the country. Anywhere away from the coast in FL is country! We started collecting animals and watching your channel. We now have 2 Yorkshire pigs, 2 kune kunes, 1 bull, 2 cows and 4 heifers., 4 goats and approx 35 chickens, 2 horses and a crazy pony. We have learned so much from you and even did 11 Cornish cross meat chickens! We raised them for 10 weeks and the biggest was 10 lbs! We have learned so much from you! Not sure that we will ever be self supporting but it has been so much fun. We have 12 young grandchildren that love coming out here. Fingers crossed that the kune kune couple are expecting and some of the cows. You have put gas in our tank!!! We love on our animals like you do and make their lives as good as possible. Thank you for all you do!

    Pete has taught me that all those years I chased cattle I could have been talking to them and had them go where I wanted without all the fuss. I guess we need to learn patience with the animals and learn to give them scratches! I enjoy watching Pete and Hilary go about their daily chores and the relaxed atmosphere they have relaxes me. A big plus is their choice in tractors also! Thank you for sharing your time with us.

    Love the “chores video” and a chance to watch you visit with, and feed all of the animals. However I missed seeing…or should I say “hearing from Patty”. Kind of seemed quiet without hearing her familiar bellow in the background. But it was good to meet Patty’s heifer. And she does look like a “keeper” for sure. All of your animals look very healthy and very happy…and that’s the best compliment I can give to a great farm family like yours. Thank you, and have a blessed rest of your week.

    I don’t know if a person could realize the value of a channel like yours (I know I couldn’t if I did it would be overwhelming) is to people like me. I believe people have forgotten what it is to be a TRUE farmer and not just a producer(yes there is a difference) from fixing equipment to having a relationship with the animals( I believe that’s important). My father once taught me how to make brushes for a starter on a truck. The replacement starter was over 450.00 so dad and I set out on making our own. With a little time and patience and tearing apart some other starters with similar brushes we had it going and it is still in the truck. Thank you again Pete for what you do and know that I look forward very much to each video.

Before that i worked at a propane distributor that also sold and applied fertilizer and anhydrous. i had spent a lot of time on farms in my younger years. Weather it was my Grandpa's farm, my brothers rented acres or a friend's farm in high school. I always felt the happiest when i was on a farm. Your channel takes me back to happier times. I loved working on my brothers Allis'. Thank you for sharing with us, and educating us!

    Pete, I forgot to reply to the video where you asked our thoughts on the channel. I wanted to let you know as someone in their mid 30's, I've found your channel to be very inspiring. I enjoy the tractor restorations a lot. Since watching your channel (and a few others), we have gotten into growing pigs each year and are currently debating on chickens. Please know that you are inspiring others to become sustainable, even if it isn't commercial farming. Baby steps first. Keep up the great videos and know that many different age groups enjoy your content. I'm ready to see the new pig operation you spoke about building as that may help show how to run a commercial operation with less acreage needed than with cows.
