Hi everyone, I am not thinking about leaving RUclips. I made this video so folks could understand a little better how RUclips works, what it is like to be a video creator on RUclips, and give some experience for those thinking about starting a channel on RUclips. I hope you find some insights in it.
I have HAD a channel on RUclips, but I lack traction. I can't get growth it seems. I've produced more than a few videos.
416k, I remember 1k
I'm sure there's more good comments then bad and I bet there just grumpy and miserable so they have to affect everyone. Again I'm glad your here and show us farm life.
I saw a mouse/rat come out of the hay and run. You may need to get another cat for the barns. 2:48
Thank you.
Who the heck would have beef or a problem with this guy? He's about as wholesome as it gets.
Real question is , what’s more wholesome, the food he raises or the man himself?
Today on Farmer Tyler Ranch, he listed ''Just A Few Acres Farm'' as one of the channels he follows.....one very real farmer/rancher following another..... that's like meeting at the local Grange has been augmented by YT [Grange, was founded in 1867 to advance methods of agriculture, as well as to promote the social and economic needs of farmers in the United States ] but YT can be the problem too. Real procedures necessary to farm life...like processing animals...are banned from YT....that is crazy and counterproductive.
Hi. I agree. I love watching this channel. All of the video are so informative and I love the old machinery.
I'm sure there are a lot. Some people have a beef about everything and anything youtubers post.
Me, I love youtube because I can watch what I want. If I'm not interested in something, I can go to another channel. There is always something that will entertain me.
Haters will hate -- no matter the subject! Not to mention the ill....
The void of you leaving could not be easily filled. One of the VERY BEST channels. Thank you Pete for the knowledge and entertainment provided to your viewers.
Pete, you are the Fred Rogers of farming. Your videos and opinions are an anticipated source of happiness and joy every week. Please don't change what you do!
Perfect title for him!
That's exactly the term I used to tell my wife about this channel when I found it "He's like the Fred Rogers of tractors!" So patient and easy going, explains stuff in detail with out patronizing, I honestly feel like a little boy watching Mr. Rogers again when I watch Pete.
Wholesome. Humble. Simple. Positive. Wry sense of humor! Dad jokes! Educational! What’s not to like? Keep your flak vest on, Pete. Let the negative and hateful comments roll off your back like rain rolls off a duck. Please keep going. We love you guys! ❤
Exactly. The man and his family and channel are national treasures.
They are great role models.
Thats why mainstream/popular-culture people don't like it.
you forgot refreshing. This channel is nourishment.
@@joshk.6246 Agreed, but not just National Treasures. INTERNATIONAL TREASURES.

This channel gives me hope for the future. There ARE real people out there!😊
Great comment, great channel and Pete is a great person!
You've got the right attitude, Pete: ignore the haters, they don't contribute anything to your life. Remember there are thousands of us who enjoy your content and have no suggestions whatsoever -- we're just happy to watch you do all the work! Tell the family and the farm animals hello from your faithful viewers, God bless.
Adorei seu comentário!
Diga olá para família e para os animais da fazenda..
Abraços do Brasil!

Totally agree with Valbanks1’s above comment.
Hi in a past life I was a taxi driver and unfortunately I got many customers who would complain about which route I took to get them to their destination as the driver before me went this way and the fare was 10 cents cheaper, what a lot of them didn't realise that traffic conditions could change at any point or a particular way was blocked by road workers or a myriad of other conditions would arise so in the end I would just follow their instructions and see how that went often times the fare was greater than when I went my way any way just ignore the haters they won't go away unfortunately please have a great day Peter from Melbourne Australia
My almost 4 year old has been watching your videos her entire life! She loves Pete but really loves when Hillary shows up. Clapping and saying "come on cows" were basically her first words. ❤
Pete, I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now. I started when I lived in the city with my bantam chickens, cats and dog. Now I’m outside the city on 22 acres. I wear my Just a Few Acres hoodie with happiness all the time! Because of you, I was able to raise my first litter of piglets safely by building them a safe warm corner like you do. In a year when I started a farm and found out I had cancer, I decided to keep going and your videos have encouraged me the entire way. I did sell my boar and butchered two of my breeding sows when I found out I had cancer because I wasn’t sure what the future would bring. I ended up keeping four of my piglets to grow out (maybe keep one as a future breeder); I have two easy keeper adult pigs ; I had my first Dexter calf born here and now have one young bull, one cow and two heifers. I have 13 Blue Slate turkeys (I’ll butcher 5 of the toms and keep the rest to try to create a bigger flock next year. I have 45 Brown Chinese geese!! 6 are ganders and the rest geese. A few started to lay this year and their eggs are soooo good! They also protect my chickens. I will have raised and processed ~300 broilers this year (first time ever) and I was a lifelong vegan/vegetarian. I did 225 Freedom Rangers, 30 Cornish, 25 Kosher Kings and 25 Sassos. I have raised 345 egg layers! 45 laying the last 2 months and the rest to lay soon 😳 I adopted some feral cats for the barn and I have two Maremma dogs now besides my Pyr mix and Poodle (and pet cats). You helped inspire all of this!! I’ve been using a strict ketogenic diet to fight my cancer. It’s been stabilized a long time and I will have surgery right after Thanksgiving and hope to never deal with Cancer again🙏🏽 This year has been one of my best and your channel has hugely contributed to that!! Many thanks to you, Hilarie and your entire family, especially Patty!!
you have become quite the farmer!
Wow, that’s a great story! Your a hard worker. Best of luck with the farm and cancer
Keep on keeping on bless you
Pete, you and Hillairy do a fine job of putting up videos that please me and entertain me. I’m a doctorate level scholar, I appreciate presentations like your channels because, Pete, you (and Hillairy) are articulate and highly intelligent and accomplished Americans. Simply put, I love your channel immensely. Thank you for being real.
Hey Pete! It’s Carl. 10 year career in engineering. Feeling the way you do about the engineering hustle. I have animals and the habit of the farm gives my family free meat nervous to expand. You are having an impact on our lives with your comments and videos. My 8 year old girl and I watch every one together. Then go take care of our own animals. She even wanted to fix an old lawn tractor witch we finished last week. Currently red tractor shopping. She wants to help tear one apart. Without your influence I am not sure she would have this interest. Thankyou from Minnesota
Pete, you’re great. Remember all those who don’t comment, but watch till the end. So it’s more like 99,000 to 1.
Pete, I am a retired insurance co manager, farmer, trucking company owner. I have my dads Farmall “C” demonstrator and you have inspired me to restore it this winter. I can use your videos as a guide to help me through it. I find most of your videos inspiring and fun to watch. My payment to you is to always watch them completely and to like them. Thanks!
It's honestly impressive that you keep putting out entertaining content while also being family friendly content.
Keep doing what you do Pete! Your channel is a great escape from the stressors of life.
Pete, my husband and I watch every episode of yours. We would be devastated if you were to leave you tube. There's more ppl out there that learn by watching you do your daily things. Please see past all the negativity. Your really loved by many. Keep doing what you do. And we thank you for letting us into your life. Watching you over the years really makes it feel like your part family. We stand behind you 💯! We love you and your family.❤ lots of love from Maine.
Always glad to sit down with Prof. Pete!
As a long-time subscriber I appreciate that the content you provide is still as genuine, thoughtful, and considered as it was when the channel was much smaller.
I found your channel a few years ago when you were describing the reno of the farmhouse. I love everything that has followed. Thank you and Hilary and the kids for sharing your story with us.
Pete, I’m a teacher and a RUclips creator. People automatically assume that I’m outgoing and a social butterfly. I’m not. I’m actually a huge introvert. Making videos has given me the freedom to be heard. I’m not afraid to talk to my camera. And people listen to my homesteading advice and videos because of the content. But you hit it on the nail. Hurtful comments, well, they hurt. Sometimes my character is attacked or people come after my choice to live a simpler way of life. At first it was difficult to read those comments. Now I remove them and move on. Being a content creator is often a lonely and misunderstood pathway.
But I admire your hard work and your channel. It’s the right blend of humor, knowledge, and cute animals. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’ve made a positive impact on our life and my RUclips channel. Blessings.
Hi Pete, My crummy advice on the haters and their negative/mean spirited commentary is exactly what you already do. Ignore them, they’re usually trying to bait you into reacting in a way that’s not in the true spirit of you and your content. You and Hilary are a far better example of how to live with integrity and honesty and plain old hard work. Keep it up Pete. Your true fans will support you in the long run. 😎
Thanks, Pete for your honesty. You and Hillary do a fantastic job of sharing your lives on the farm with us..and I appreciate you. Keep making the videos. We love to watch whatever you are up to. ❤
Pete, woohoo two videos in one day! What makes your content so enjoyable is the variety of activities you share with us. You asked a few week's ago what content your produce is important to the viewer, and I believe it's that variety of your content that makes you so appealing and enjoyable to watch, but more importantly it's you. You're really the largest part of what makes the content on your channel such a pleasure. So I thank you for taking the time that you do to create these videos and thank you for sharing a little part of your life and family with us the viewer. Your videos are one of things that bring me consistent joy each week, I look forward to seeing with eager anticipation each time I am notified of a new post!
AMEN! AMEN!
Pete, I enjoy your channel. I look forward sitting in front of TV and relaxing. You do a great job.
👍
If you don't have anything nice to say, dont say it at all. Pete is one of the nicest people, so show love and not show hate.
Pete: It is your personality that is making you a RUclips success. TJ
Happy to be part of the 99 of 100 positive comments. Thanks for keeping a level head through the disastrous emotions of others. You mentioned you're just a normal person with a camera and I want to let you know you're a bit more than that. Your strong storytelling and leadership qualities shine through in your content often.
Pete, the good you do by introducing people to the reality of farming outweighs the negative comments some unhappy have. Please continue to do what you are doing. You have provided me with information about farming that I personally would never have known. Thank you.
Pete:
Please don't ever get discouraged with just a few negative comments that you may receive.
Always focus on the positive that your bringing to so many.
Your providing a learning experience to many of us, as well as very satisfying entertainment.
I grew up around many farms here in New York, and that's home to me.
I have a 1950 farmall super A with a front blade for the snow.
I just like to dream about having a larger one, and which one, however it's just not practical.
Keep the video's coming !
You bring a whole lot of happiness to us all, and we certainly appreciate everything.
Mark
Jamestown, NY
Thanks Mark.
Awe Pete...don't you dare go anywhere! You, Hillarie and the family have let us visit your lives. You have shown us the family farm and what it takes to manage it. I for one appreciate that. Look at the welcome you get when you go to the farmer's market and out at the tractor shows. Over 400K subscribers that look forward to your videos every week. Please don't be discouraged, haters are everywhere no matter what you do. I'll always be a huge fan...from rural Maryland - surrounded by beautiful family farms. Thanks!!!
I know I've mentioned it before, but you're the ONLY channel I let the advertising run through. Your channel is worth it to me.
Pete,I'm pushing 73 years old. When I was a kid I was always around the farms, hoeing sugar beet, carting bales, feeding stock on a Sunday to give my friend, the farmer a day off.
I loved the chance to drive that old machinery. Your videos take me back over 60 years to a time where jobs had to be done, so do them with a smile. Things broke and ingenuity triumphed in the repair. Livestock all had names, I even knew a cow that would let you steal a drink of warm milk in the field.
Your videos make me feel warm inside.
Thanks for the feedback, Pete.
Pete, you make me regret leaving my farm. Your show is enlightening for potential small farmers, the encouragement they need is all there for them to see.
Just a Few Acres Farm is a masterpiece of old fashioned logical advice and should go into the must view category for all the young families looking to breath some fresh air, eat their own produce, and be a favorite spot for friends and family to visit.
Keep up the good work.
My wife and I bought 30 acres, are currently building our forever house and watch your videos with the plan of creating our generational farm. Pete you inspire people. We appreciate you & your family.
You're still worth my time climbing on the hill behind my barn to enjoy your content and get some ideas from you. Appreciate you and others being out there.
Lol, I will never forget all the gymnastics you have to go through to get a signal. Thanks Anthony.
Oh to be young! 😂🤣😂
@@juliebauman3998 I'm 56 with Lupus.... yes Mr. Larson's channel IS that good!!
Mouse crasher LOL !!! 2:51. Even when you’re being serious, you still give us a chuckle!
Pete, this is my first comment. I would hate to see you leave and wish you all the best. Seeing you live a normal life in the midst of todays craziness is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work.
Pete, I love watching you and your family on your farm no matter what the subject is. I even love your jokes! Thank you for doing this and I am sorry that some are mean and cruel and hope this will not sway you from doing this! Lots of love and light to you and the fam ❤️
Ditto Pete. I'm in the UK and watch all your stuff and have never had a problem with it.....
I love your jokes too
Clean comedy.
Not all the jokes. Keep your day job Pete
Pete, it amazes me how open you are and how much you share about your life and experiences. You are very brave to do so and its why I always look forward to every video that you make. Chin up and keep 'em coming!!
Good job Pete. My wife and I enjoy your channel. Thank you.
Dear
Pete & Hillarie , I love watching how you to work so well together. I enjoy that you can have so many different projects going on in a day. You always share your thoughts about how you come to your conclusions on your projects. I am glad you are enjoying success with your channel, and I beg you to disregard the haters who are jealous of your happiness and harmony. Never lose sight of how much joy you bring to so many and there’s no putting a price on that. I’m just so happy you bring us along for the ride.
Pete, I can’t tell you how much I truly appreciate the fact that you talk to your audience as if they were there in front of you. Much like you said, I myself am in a rather “lonely” career. My animals and quality content here is my way to unwind and I must say, it’s nice to feel like I’m being spoken to instead of talked at.
You, your family, and your farm being on RUclips is worthwhile to me.
One of the best videos i have seen thanks pete....
I'm happy I'm not one of those commenters that could give you stomach trouble. You have a great family and a great farm. I'm glad you share what you do with us.
I come here to see how you do things, not tell you what I might do. I only ever gave advice when asked. And, I think you're right to get that tractor garage/hanger started. You have the classic tractor fever the way a lot of guys get classic car fever. It's a cool facet to the gem you have here.
Don’t know if it’s worth it for you in the long run but I enjoy your videos and enjoyed coming out meeting you twice at the farmers market!
Thank you Pete love watching your videos
I like people just being themselves
Just keep doing what you're doing Pete.... I love what you're doing.. It so refreshing in the current social clilmate!!
Please don't change or stop. You do so much good by making myself and I'm sure others just simply feel good. Cyber bullies and cyber experts are our petty terrorists of social media.
As a kid that grew up on a farm and was surrounded by small family farms, I know of the different ways farmers do things and the fierce independence they display by doing so. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING! Keep your head up and your wonderful videos coming!
Okay - so you can't quit youtube. Baby Max (my niece's 4 month old) really enjoys the cows, chickens and pigs - but his favorite is when you drive the tractors! Your show is the secret sauce to keep this colicky baby happy!! Keep it up Pete - there's a little guy who needs you! :)🥰
It's very simple. I watch your videos because I like them. I like your common sense. Your down to earth qualities... and your interaction with your family and the way you take care of your farm and animals on it. In my mind, you have a good heart and something to say.❤
Pete. I’m sure there’s a lot of fellers out there like me who know or care nothing about farming or how to dismantle a Farmall “H”. We tune in to see you, and how you’ve tuned out the negative world. Your wisdom and attitude (as well as Hillary’s) is reassuring. I hope you keep doing this for many more years. Thank you!
Keep at it. You are a gentle soul and this comes across in your videos. Take care. My wife just added ‘PETE IS NICE’.
Pete, you have a gentle soul and I can completely understand your concerns. I enjoy all your videos and usually watch them all the way through. This is a fallen world and there are those who take pleasure in attacking others, especially behind a keyboard. I wish you much success Pete and though it's surely hard to completely shake off, the vast majority think you are doing an amazing job. Blessings my friend.
Well, you've got at least one guy who always watches all the videos you make all the way through. I may not have any insightful comments, but the way you look at life has really helped me find my own balance and I really appreciate the time you put into your content.
Speaking for my family and myself we love watching your videos. We watch literally everyday day. My boys ( 1yr and 2yrs) ask everyday to watch "Pete". We love the videos, keep them coming.
I'm from a suburb of Sydney, Australia. I've never lived on a farm or had anything to do with farm animals. In saying that, I look forward to the videos and watch them in their entirety and am thankful that Pete and his family have let us into their lives. Keep up the excellent work.
Pete, thanks for taking the time to share your opinions and provide us with a little of the behind the scenes of a RUclipsr and how it affects your family. It’s amazing today how people find issues with even the best things. It seems to be a trendy thing to do on all platforms. This channel brings a certain calmness to my day. Watching Pete go through his day. Thanks for your time and effort Pete. It’s appreciated.
Pete been following you since Covid and have enjoyed every minute of it, please continue showing us your farm and lifestyle, ignor the naysayers, keep on farming.
Pete,
As I see it, you run a business with 4 “profit Center’s”, chickens, beef, pork and you tube. I’ve watched since your channel had 37k subscribers and haven’t missed many since. You now have almost 1/2 million and growing. You have become a you tube star . Enjoy what all of this has brought to you and your family. Don’t change your formula - honest, forth right, story telling with great contributions from your cast of characters. These include your many named animals, IH numbered tractors and a lovely family. We all will miss the day when you say enough!, but until then enjoy the ride and the privileges this brings to you.
I would say that the honest way you present your life through RUclips becomes very obvious and that’s why people are attracted to your channel you have that calm Demeanor about you.
I love watching your father interact with you Pete.
Of all the different youtube channels I watch, I always come back to your Channel because you are REAL keep it up and as always I await the next video.
Hi Pete! I enjoy your videos and as a fellow tractorholic the auction and repair videos are awesome. Growing up on a small farm with two H tractors it is nice to see your restored and repainted tractors out getting the job done as the were meant to. Keep up the good content
We are from michigan, iv watch most all your videos. Some several time. My daughter who is 4 and aspires to have livestock loves watching you.
She asks for “play pete”! By name when i put youtube on.
I love your detailed tractor restorations.
Thanks for being way better than having cable!
Authentic farm life at its best, thanks Pete and Hillary ❤
Your videos are educational, inspirational, and entertaining, dare I say, heartwarming. You have a wonderful family, and a wonderful farm. You do nice work, Pete!
Been watching you for 3 years Pete. It’s been awesome and I’ll be around as long as you keep the channel up.
Pete your channel brings thousands joy. I personally appreciate what you have done. God bless you and your family.
I think you hit the nail on the head!
Thank you Wes!
Pete .. Please ! and I am being selfish here .. please don't stop creating content.. your the best Mental break for thousands of viewers !! Your not just a farmer, not just a GREAT Mechanic, not just a great husband and father .. your DR. in phycology for lots of people who just want to watch something honest and wholesome... Let the nasty Keyboard worries eat static and don't feed them , the will die on the vine while the rest of us flourish on Grape Arbor of Pete , all we need is JUST A FEW ACRES!!!!!
Your channel and content make me feel like there is hope for small farms. Your family dynamic that you show is really inspiring. It is so cool the spotlight you show on Hilary. She does so much more than bring you food in the field! Thank you for that.
I have watched your channel for years, I rarely make a comment.
It's your farm, your family do things your way. I like watching your videos just they way you create them.
Unhappy people try to drag happy people into their misery. Ignore them the best you can.
I wish you, Hilary and the kids all the best
Take care
Who does not watch Pete's video's end to end? Yes, of course I skip the ad after obligatory 4 seconds when possible but hardly ever a second of content. One has to stay until the 'have a great day' closer!
Love the channel and all the hard work you and your family put into the effort. Keep up the good work.
May you be able to focus on all the good people out there and block out the negativity.
Thank you
Don't typically comment but I gotta try to add to the 'good pile' and try to outweigh the bad ones as best I can:
Absolutely love your channel, Pete! I love to sit down at my desk and live vicariously through you and your beautiful family and get a small slice of the farm life I long to live. Your attitude towards life is a huge reason why this channel has been one of my favorites. I just love your positive attitude, your goofy dad jokes, and your love for the life you live.
Thank you for everything you do here on YT, buddy. I appreciate it all so much.
Thank you, Pete, for your candor.
its so refreshing to kinda have an intelligent conversation about small farming. Thankx Pete.
You are doing just great, Pete. Never doubt how much pleasure and insight you give me and I'm sure lots of other folks into the fascinating world of livestock farming, and your beloved farm tractors. I look forward to seing many more of your videos in the future...
The only 2 RUclips channels I watched is yours and another channel both are family oriented and fun. I'm glad you make these videos and you show the real truth in farming and life.
Love your channel and your content. You seem to have an awesome family and farm. Keep doing what you do, and we'll definitely keep watching. Have a great day.
Thanks for putting this out in the world Pete! Much love man!
Thank you!
Great work Pete! You’re doing a great job and you are very inspiring. We met you a few weeks back at the market (the EE from Virginia Beach) and the steak and the ground beef were EXCELLENT !
Boy you hit the nail on the head, as a Farming youtuber I go through the same struggle with whether or not to read comments to change the way I want to do something for fear of comments. RUclips can be a great community resource and can also crush your mental state if not careful. Keep up the great work you are always an inspiration!
Hey Man, it’s easy for those who do done nothing to be critical. Lead your Family and your Farm the way God needs you to🙏🏻🇺🇸🤩
Enjoy your videos all of them. Don’t go anywhere. We need a channel like your channel. Honest, educational, knowledgeable. Have a great day.
Everytime i see one of your videos pop up, its a good day! Keep plugging along Pete! My family and I love what you guys do!
Please don't change the content on your channel. We love to just watch your day to day routines. You could just show the same things over and over ; no problem. Please keep up the good work thank you for being a calm, easy to listen to voice.
You're the best channel on you tube make me happy watching you work on the farm.
Pete, when I see a new vlog from you I feel a little buzz of excitement. PLEASE, DON'T GO, EVER.
At the end of every one of your videos I say " Thanks Pete".In some way or another, you always make my day a little bit better.
Pete you and your family are very important to show how a small farm works, and it shows how farms were 30-50 years ago. My Fiancé, froze the Philippines likes your channel and I often share the videos to her. Being a senior herself, her family farmed , but everything was done by hand. Thank you for what you do.😊
I hope you have a great day Pete, I love watching your channel. I love your view of life. Thank you for being on RUclips!!
You are an educator of the small farm life, which for me still behind a desk is so enjoyable. You made a choice that allowed you and your wife the joy of being around your children as they grow. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy your show. I hope you are not too discouraged by naysayers. What keeps me coming back is your content and hope. I keep hoping you’ll show more of the mechanical stuff. I actually learn from watching you. I’m old and theoretically I shouldn’t be learning about stuff so far out of my comfort zone. Keep up the good work!
I got sick with cancer 4 years ago and stumbled across your channel and I have to say I look forward to your content. When I was a kid I worked on a grain farm with about 20 head of cattle and International tractors so what's not to like about your channel. I really enjoy your tractor restorations and hope to see more of them. I think you and your family do a fine job with your farm and I'm glad that everything we see goes fairly smooth. Don't despair the people that will berate you for there are those of us that say little but will always support you. Thanks For The Great Show.
Been watching from almost the beginning. You are the friend we all wish we had on the farm. You bring comfort to a chaotic world. Love your style. Keep rolling out videos as long as they are fun to create. Best of luck.
Pete, don't change a thing.
You are priceless the way you are.
“Come on Cows” is what drew me in. Excellent content is what keeps me here. You and Hillary are awesome because you are genuine!
I can honestly say, you sir make my day brighter when I sit down and watch your videos. You and your family have put a smile on my face for quite some time now. I think I can speak for the majority of your followers...we love your content, your jokes, your analysis of problems, etc. The people who want to spread their negativity may just be unhappy in life, and we should pray for them. God bless you and your family.
