Know where you food comes from. The Flying Diamond Ranch isn't selling meat to individual customers now but they might do so in the future. Follow them here to get updates: Facebook: facebook.com/flyingdiamondcattleranch Instagram: instagram.com/flyingdiamondcattleranch/
Thank you so much for this video. This is not only EXXXXXACTLY how I want to live. It's also how I want to DIE. Best Sunday morning video ever!
I'm headed that way. We'll only have 1 acre and probably no cows. But I'll rub elbows with the local ranchers and grow my veggies, fruits and herbs on my mini farm. And life will be AMAZING!
Peter, PLEASE EXPLORE country of origin labeling for beef cattle. As a small producer of beef and lamb, it seems we receive so much negativity because of a global market. They say the rain forest is being burned off at a record pace for beef cattle production and Americans do not even have the option of knowing where the beef they buy originates. Country of Origin Labeling on beef packaging was eliminated in 2015
@@alanwesterfield4254 Omg 😲 Are you kidding me? The entire industry needs more transparency. I wanna live like you. So, I get it.
I wanna know where my meat comes from. I can only imagine how fast food meat is raised. The Environment Matters!
You are doing such a great job helping people understand different communities and cultures. What I find most interesting about what you do is seeing the similarities of people despite different demographics - Kudos! It's great to see that there really are people out there that care about the truth and that we all really can get along, even with our diffences :)
@@ShawnRitch Amen 🙏
Small family owned farms and ranches are the backbone of this country.
And still the majority of producers.
Too bad our government is destroying the backbone of our country.
Having been raised in a small town, followed with a 10 year stint running a beef cattle ranch in AZ was an eye opening and extremely satisfying experience. As far back as the 1980s there was a market for range/grass fed cattle. No feed lot, corn fed, antibiotics added for these cattle. They brought top dollar at the livestock auction. Hopefully this trend will increase.
@Opperwezen The amount of food that is thrown away in a year according to some statistics could feed 3 times the whole world population. The real problem is the utter wastefulness, irresponsible and extravagant life style of the wealthy nations, but then those same people are the ones who think population growth is the problem.
One cause of misunderstanding is because many families incorporate for tax reasons. So what is actually a family operation, often with 2 or more generations, gets classified as a corporate farm or ranch.
I noticed during this video, not one person said the word "humane". Instead they spoke of respect... of the animals, to each other, and of the industry. I find that encouraging.
A point understood by us oldies, less so by the shouty folks
Excuse my ignorance but what is bad about the word humane?
@@madddvillain I don't believe there is anything wrong with it. However in the USA I see many people saying it infringes their second amendment rights, first amendment rights, and isn't in the constitooshon. Whatever they are.
@@madddvillain it's more of how it's implied.
@@madddvillain It implies a specific approach to the treatment of something that someone else invented, stamped and approved, as opposed to appropriate and proportional treatment given the situation.
As a beef farmer in the UK,it amazes me the sheer scale of these farms these ranches look after.....Ten's of thousands of acres....We only have 200 acres....Absolutely fascinating video. 👍💯👍💯
America is a big country. UK is very tiny to is.
We need farmers like this to thrive and do their thing.
The backbone of our countries.
Without food, we're all dead. Ranchers like these, farmers and the like are all salt of the Earth people. If I had the land and the means and knowledge, I'd probably be ranching too.
Peter's channel has become a staple of my Sundays. Like the old TV days, I'm glad I found a scheduled program that is enjoyable but at the same time, informational. Thank you Peter
Agreed
I just met him hes in my town.
Hello my good friend...have you ever traveled to Isfahan?! Isfahan is famous for half the world..Isfahan is a must see
Spare us the bucolic utopia of life on $2 million dollars worth of ranch land.
@@hg2. so who would you prefer on the land.
Never would have guessed that the two cowboys studied in China and Belgium! Aaand that is exactly why I love this channel. Learning about real, actual people. Good stuff!
Lovely family and an honorable profession. These folks are the backbone of rural America. Respectful of their animals and the environment. Thank you for sharing.
I have always been surprised and, more dumbfounded, that some suburbia folks, would talk bad about how the animals are treated, all-the-while, cuttin’ up that steak on their plate at a fine dining restaurant. Thank you to our ranchers and their familes! Its super hard work what ya’ll do!
Peter, this was incredible! So many people truly don’t understand the basis of ranching/grass fed part of life of farming. You and these families did amazing job conveying this process/way of life! Will be sharing.
My sentiments are the same as M snyder. Before this vid I was in the same mind set as the first women Lauren. Cows living a miserable life in factory farms than ruthlessly slaughtered. I always felt an uneasy morality to become vegetarian,(tried several times but failed).. after watching and listening I can drop the guilt. Thanks Peter Santenello for this series and thanks to the Ranchers for enlightening me of this process.
GRASS FED UNTIL THE ARE SOLD AND SHIPPED TO GIANT FEED LOTS
I grew up in California cities, moved out to Wyoming almost 8 years ago and most of my views/understanding of a lot of things have changed. Due to experiencing it and not just listening to the media or what I’m being told. I love it here and it feels like what America still.
Then please help preach to your former fellow Californians in La la land .
@@mkultra11 He doesn't live there lol. He escaped the rat race.
Yeah the absolutely worst thing is when Californians flee from the horrible policies that has ruined that state and then vote the same way in their new state. Remember Californians left for a reason and its not the beautiful weather. I fled Seattle because of the regressive I mean progressive policies. Assimilate to your new location don’t change it.
@@mkultra11 CA is a huge state and unfortunately the major metro areas control it, get out of the metro areas and you’ll find it’s very much the same mindset as in the Midwest. The liberal controlled media has forced the woke agenda on everyone for decades and offers no opposing views so many younger generation only grew up with a one sided view.
@@mkultra11 why help preach anything. There’s absolutely no point to try for some people. Gotta live it
What a fascinating, intelligent, freedom-loving, respectful family. It's a privilege to meet them. God bless them and you too, Peter, for showing us around.
We love our ranchers and farmers! Thank y’all for all the hard work you do every day to feed America 🇺🇸❤️
Peter, thank you so much for giving rural America a voice that has been silenced for a very long time. We appreciate your work!🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Countries should empower our Farmers, not limit them. These small farms provide specialized services that the big factories can't do on a mass scale. You can't just over regulate them.
Everything revolves around money and greed when it comes to the government. The gov will only support corporate farms instead of family farmers and ranchers. The gov wants ultimate control over our food supplies.
There are way too many people in agriculture in our economy but the government subsidizes the inefficiencies in our economy.
Far from what you are saying, the government gives way too much money to farmers in a hope to buy off their votes.
For example they buy surplus crops and mandate ethanol in gasoline which makes gas more expensive for consumers.
@@Will97675 it is deeper than just money! Trust me, they can make money other ways but controlling the mass population also means that you (the Elites) can terminate the population when necessary (to suit your agenda). They are master attached playing with your emotions. They have done decades of research on what information is sensitive and how people react, hence media delivers the appropriate information to target audience
Countries? Do you mean governments? Governments should abstain from meddling in economic matters.
service that helps your neighbors-mankind etc needs to be empowered.
Many good hardworking people often get looked at in a negative way..
I’m not sure why these stereotypes happen? Lack of diversity? Lack of understanding?
America needs to give all these families a big thank you for putting in all the hard work, so the world can eat !
I am not an American, but have lived in the US for a few years and have travelled the country. My husband and I have great respect for the ranching families. My only regret is that I never had the chance to visit a working ranch. Thank you for the video.
You will never see stories like this in the media today because it doesn't fit their narrative that they want us to believe , so refreshing to see, keep showing us reality with an unbiased lens
To have city type adds thrown in between real conversations only adds to the character of these people
Yep they all want us living in big centralised controlled cities, living centralised controlled lives. They hate us who still live rural, independent lives…
Late 2020 when Colombia reopened for travel I went to spend some time in rural remote mountainous area with a friend who has family members who are farmers & cattle ranchers. What a lovely experience. Eating fresh food, breathing clean air, swimming in a small river on their property, not wearing mask. I was like I need to live in a farm. I also notice how healthier the farmers were and a lot more welcoming than city people.
@Lilman Yellow I get your point but I was referring to the farmers I met in Colombia. hiking up & down steep mountains to reach their crops was good enough leg day exercise.
I moved to Colombia I’m in Pereira
@@tonybryant2290 Nice. Would like to do a video there soon. My channel is Stezworld I made a video about that Farm.
@@stez-nq4hs I’ll check it out
Colombia is beautiful! Wow, you were lucky to have that experience. My family is from Argentina and I’m not just saying this bc it’s my home country but we have some of the most gorgeous mountains and ranches 🥰 I hope you get to travel many more years and experience the same kind of happy memories you made in Colombia 🙏🏻
Peter...very good presentation! I retired several years ago as the head of a large conservation organization and I spent my entire working life advocating the importance of people becoming more connected with nature and natural resources. Unfortunately it seems that our society is becoming less and less connected with nature. I was raised in the Mid-west with roots in farming. A couple of years ago I wrote a book titled "On the Farm - The Uncertain Future of an American Legacy." I believe that farmers and ranchers use best management practices, as was discussed in the video are are some of the last people in America who are very connected with nature and natural resource management. Three cheers for the video and three cheers for farmers and ranchers!
As a farmer, thank you
Just wondering how many people understand how the Conservation Efforts have actually damaged the SURVIVAL of USA RANCING AND FARMING
Such a beautiful family!
Well spoken.. interesting, and intelligent.
Lack of understanding.. can cause many issues.
Thank you Peter, for helping bridge the gaps 🤙🏻
I live in rural Pennsylvania. The city people come up every weekend and trash the town, leave trash and bottles everywhere. There is definitely a disconnect in our urban communities. The adults in these heavily populated areas are failing as a unit. Rural areas and groups like the Amish do better because they have morals and stick together.
As I began watching this I thought in rural communities we stick together. Yet let one another live as they choose. That is truly the biggest difference. We have neighbors who we literally grew up with. It is an unspoken rule that you help your neighbor. I live in a smaller city now. I have no idea who my neighbors are who leave a few yds from my front door. Several yrs ago I would say hi as we were coming & going, it was obvious that wasn't their style. I respect their privacy. I no longer speak. It's such a different way of life . One I'm not accustom to.
The problem with that is the people from the city aren’t owners which means they aren’t used to taking care of their properties let alone someone else’s. There’s most definitely a disconnect when someone who rents their entire lives (and not nice places either, shitholes ran by slumlords) and grows up where nobody around them takes care of anything either vs homeowners that take pride in their land & properties.
If they trash your area, don't welcome them... .make them feel uncomfortable and unwanted.
@@unknownhuman5507 that’s a decent code to go by. I agree with that statement
So true. Rural people lower in numbers, definitely look after and respect each other better. City’s are diseased, full of crime and that has a direct effect on the people. I recently moved from Birmingham England the UKs 2nd biggest city population in the millions and it was the same there. Crime everywhere, people had no respect or time for each other etc, then we sold up and moved too a small market town in rural Worcestershire a very rural county too a small village population less than a thousand people, and everyone looks out for each other. Ok everyone knows your business, but we feel safe, are safer, our kids can play out in the full knowledge everyone knows who’s kids they are and some adult is keeping a eye on them. Every month we have a community get together in the town hall where people bring in their home made produce cakes, pies etc and sell them onto other village folk, it’s feels so comfortable and welcoming. I would never live in a big city again, where people only care about themselves and don’t even know their neighbours names.
This series lately of farming has been so awesome, so eye-opening to a vast majority of Americans who don't understand the reality of it all. My family has a dairy farm in Michigan and I am so thankful I have been able to experience that life.
i would contend that its a little of both though.. i know many rural american haven't even left their own state.. and have no understanding of world poltics or economics.. (contrast to this particular family where their kids have traveled the world and understand how things work outside rural america) Unfortunately market dynamics control things such as pricing and such..
@@Mellowyellow8888 You don't have to travel the world to understand market dynamics on your industry. Heck, you don't even have to leave the country to understand it.
" i know many rural american haven't even left their own state.. and have no understanding of world poltics or economics.. "
Compared to who, you? Tell us how you really feel about this rural Americans you know of. Go on.
And what does traveling have to do with anything besides you subtly dismissing rural Americans as unsophisticated and unlearned? I mean, if you use your premise what would a small town, well-traveled person do in order to help their family dairy farm in Michigan or Wisconsin survive farm factory?
I just find it amusing that you resort to "not well traveled" card as if traveling is some sort of magic bullet - because we know people in LA, NYC and London totally understand people who live different lifestyles than they do.
This family truly makes America a better place. They give back when so many others are just here to just take take take. This is how you live life the right way. Peters videos are absolutely amazing!!
Love these videos! Peter is the only true journalist meeting with real people and reporting the story with no bias or slant.
she's livin the dream!!
and your ability to show perspectives is absolutely amazing and a beautiful blessing for your audience 🙏❤️
Glad she is happy. I couldn’t live like this. I am used to suburbs. My cousins grew up like this in Bosnia I used to visit them. I would be depressed but glad other can live like this.
Peters ability to show perspectives is an extension of his kindness and desire to understand. He asks a question and gives them an out, like making a joke about being on camera or acknowledging his question may be rude, or ignorant or perpetuating a stereotype or he sets up a hypothetical scenario so it’s easier to answer truthfully. Solid technique. No “Gotcha” moments
@@millennialodyssey5956 God bless you on your journey!! 💗🙏
Best one so far! Notice how she said that she had been fed an idea about food and where it came from before she was introduced to the real life scenario. VERY important statement that people should pay attention to.
We had a 3-Generation cattle ranch in between Lamar and Springfield. After my grandma and dad passed away within a few months of one another it was left to me…but the bills were massive and I lost it around 2012. Miss those days of wheat harvest and calving season and riding horses/shooting guns. Wow, time flies. Nice video Peter. God bless you all.
Peter, watching from Australia where my family has farmed for nearly one hundred years. So much of what was said there is so similar. I met my wife, a city girl through my sister. We farm on with a great love of the land and our animals. Blaming animals for climate change, what a cop out. We who have built huge cities, covering so much up with suburbier, littered and destroyed, live as there is no tomorrow and then contribute our troubles to animals that provide so much to sustain us. When I was young diversity of opinion was encouraged and respected, now it seems we are all meant to think alike. And yes, country folk are often thought of as not so well educated and somewhat slow.
Thankyou for your video.
We need more students to be like Haley. My daughter (in Colorado State) says the same thing about college life. Hopefully we start seeing a shift.
We have seen a shift. Unfortunately it's not the way we'd like it to be. It's become MORE contradictory and woke. When I was much younger, (15-20 years ago) I was ADAMANT about my children going to college. Now, I'm adamant about them NOT going to college. Not judging you whatsoever, but now its all about poisoning their minds and shaping them for an agenda instead of actually educating them. That's why all 3 of my kids are/were homeschooled. Its not any better in public schools either.
@@pla6ue Poisoning their mind and shaping them for an agenda is definitely a reach
@@krisan7896 Ah yes, let's all have degrees in Lesbian Dance Theory, mountains of student loan debt, and live in pods while eating bugs
Its great to see a young woman stand up for her convictions when everything around her goes against her way of living. What a great family! I pray that Gid continues to bless them
Why do we need more women to be promiscuous like Haley or your daughter (or you)? And interesting that you complain about college life, but it's the "woke" cultural movement which normalized married women like yourself having "guy friends" or hugging your daughter's prom dates.
Greetings from the Netherlands !Stay strong Farmers !!!xxxx
They want to terminate 30% of the farmers in the Netherlands, right?
Well come ❤
Netherlands love from PAKISTAN 🇵🇰
Despite the shocking lack of media coverage..we know whats happening out there for you. Its coming for us all if we don't stop it. Canada now is going down the no fertilizer for farmers route. Yikes.
Love from germany ❤
Awesome episode..the kind of people that are genuine , honest and hard working .. there's great people that still exist in North America . Love and total respect from Alberta 🇨🇦
I am 80 years old, a navy veteran and have lived in a city and now live in a small town that I grew up in. I watch and read the news media somewhat and have gone from no locks to keeping the doors locked when you step out of the house. The nation really needs to listen to those people that you visit and pay attention to those that don't have their hands out expecting someone else to provide them with their needs. Keep up your work as it is a vision into the heart of America not what the uninformed believe. Those you see or read on social media need to shut their mouths and LISTEN instead of running their mouths.
Well said Sir!
Well said. Thank you for your service, Sir.
My son ( almost 19 ) joined the Navy just last yr. Hoo-yah! ⚓🇺🇸
Thank You for Your Service. From one warror to another. 21 years USMC
Yes sir. Absolutely agree.
Keep Your Head on a Swivel. Don't be the soft target. Be the Hard Target! Sorry, but it's the world we live in. Only 63. Retired USMC/DOD/DOS. Stay Above Ground My Brother...
This cracked me up when talking about "unsexy rural". In 2009, at 44 years old, I moved from the suburbs of Seattle to a flat, rural, farming town (1,100) in Southwest Kansas (about 45 minutes from the Oklahoma Panhandle) for 2 years. Starbucks was 90 miles away :-( My takeaway...the people are great, I got to experience the farming process, but in the end, I missed my family, mountains, and the ocean. I'm so glad that I went!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
I lived on a farm for ten years myself,but had to get back to the ocean
This poor girl. She doesn't realize that HER LIFE EXPERIENCES give her MORE of an actual perspective than ANYONE ON CAMPUS.
I grew up with Will and his family, they've always been genuine hard working people and I'm happy to see their hard work continue fruition
What an incredibly thought provoking video! "We have to tell our story, or else someone else will". This really opened our minds and created so many discussions. As long time followers of you Peter, this is our favourite video yet. From a young New Zealand couple with a love of travel, thank you for sharing your story.
I just love sitting down with a cup of coffee watching your videos. They are always so interesting! So appreciate you 💕
Bex, I am doing exactly the same! 😁
Yet another look in to a part of society that we’d never experience or learn about on our own. Thank you for your excellent work!
@5:00 "no one's getting lost in the shuffle."
Oh man.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️ This so much.
My man Peter has been on a roll delivering amazing content. Every single video has been informative, interesting and entertaining.
Love the series. You're displaying one of the most important topics that should be taught in schools. "where does our food come from" Ruminant meat is and will always be the most nutrient dense foods for human beings. Thank you!
This is why I continue to eat meat and dairy. I can't take seriously any secular moral reasoning for not eating meat or dairy. Even the "science" behind why meat and dairy is bad is up for debate. It's not settled science.
Try swimming in any body of water near ranching. I’ve walked across whole states and seen what agrarian societies do to the land. It’s the old way of thinking. I haven’t eaten one scrap of animal product in 10 years and I’m doing great. Just walked 400 miles across Arizona. I invite any of you meat eaters to get out of your pickups and join me.
Food systems based on animals are cruel when scaled up as they are today. It’s violence on a mass scale done to innocent beings like your dog.
Next time you go to a rodeo, substitute your dog for the calf and see if it’s still entertaining. If you don’t think so then you believe rodeo is cruel. An animal is not less valuable just because you want to eat him or her
IT ALL STARTS WITH KNOWLEDGE! Such a very informative explanation of what we do. All my animals are always taken good care of. God bless this ranching family for such an awesome video. Thank you Peter for what you do in making a difference of understanding in the presentation of all your videos. P.S. Amy from Hippy to Cowgirl such an intelligent way of transforming into what you do "Impressive". Ranching Forever.
Bless them with what? Their ultimate reward is heaven yet they are avoiding it.
Looks like pure, clean, wholesome air out on the ranch. No cow farts polluting anything. What a story! If I'd been told cow farts would be to blame for air pollution 20 yrs ago, I'd think they had dementia. Come to think of it, I still do. Good life! Thank you for showing us the real deal on the farm. These people are awesome.
Seriously, this is some of the best journalism around. A wonderful story, with awesome people living a real life. I grew up and still own a cattle ranch. I've traveled/ lived abroad. I even lived and worked in SF for 14 years. The one difference I encountered is once I was able to personally illustrate working/living the ranch lifestyle to most of my friends in SF they found it somewhat admirable. Very similar to what Peter is doing here on a broader scale. My advice to the daughter at CU, continue to be positive and people will see you as a someone unique and special.
I love your respectful approach to these stories, Peter. Keep up the good work!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Greatly enjoyed this series of videos on lesser populated areas. I think it’s very important for our nation to get to know how these types of communities live.
This content is so valuable Peter. Especially this series. I hope you get to look back on it years from now and see the impact it had. Keep it coming.
I just happened upon this video and am SO happy I did. I have a long line of cattle ranchers in my lineage, including my dad, who was a real cowboy in Southeastern Arizona. I was raised in a suburb of Los Angeles, but got to see small bits of my dad's childhood while visiting my uncle's ranch, which is made up of our family land. The cattle industry is so misunderstood and so vital to our ecological growth and management. Long live the cattle ranchers and their tasty grass-fed, grass-finished steaks!
Really enjoyed the ranching series. Thanks for taking us along
Peter thanks for informing the masses on how things really work and giving these people a voice!
Great job, again! Thank you very much Peter. I hope and pray this and many other ranchers have many many more generations on their ranches.
Another awesome video Peter I understand how important it is to know how people of different backgrounds have the same common goals as most of us living in the city and how the voice of few can change that perspective. Thank you for bringing that to our screens
Thank you for doing such a great job in these ranch documentaries
Best episode ever. As a farmer I love and absolutely agree with there message
I don't comment on many videos, but yours are so enlightening in all areas. Seeing real ranches with real feelings is great. Thank you.
This was fantastic! Thanks for giving them a platform to share the amazing work they do.
Peter, your vlogs are refreshing and always something new which affects the community and the country. Really enjoyed watching.
This channel is Amazing, I’ve took a dive into so many cultures from your channel!! Keep it up, tell OUR stories!!
I have total respect for farmers and ranchers very hardworking and we should support them all 🇬🇧
Thanks so much for bringing awareness to how much our ranchers and farmers contribute to our society, culture and environment. Thanks for your signature approach of balance and respectfulness.
Thank you so much for your recent videos! Seriously, this is what I think real America is. The way you do all your videos is so nonbias and nice, please keep up your great work and just educate people the way you are doing!
As someone from Amish Country, this is the kind of message we need out there. People don't realize that being "progressive" and "of the land" means you have to know where your food grew up, lived, and died. Too much of that has been lost. TY Amish farmstands around Lancaster Pa and the Coop my family has bought into for beef and pork the past 5 years lmao!
Hi Berke
This has to be one of the best videos I have ever seen explaining farming today.The family were amazing and you asked such pertinent questions which made this so enjoyable to watch. Each family member gave such great replies, especially in relation to college and how you can't really say what you feel now. Also on how much methane the ancient herds of buffalo gave out compared to now.
I live in England, and was born while my parents lived in farm cottage so I saw growing up how hard farm life is for farmers and their families. As your family said behind the food on our tables are families working hard to provide it.
Thank you to you and the family for such a great thought provoking video from the land of Robin Hood England xx
This was amazing. I love these segments of rural America. Showing what these hard workers do as the backbone of our country is amazing. I applaud you for listening and slowing. Them to tell their story.
Beautiful area! Thanks Peter! Always so much to learn and see the amazing work of ranchers.
I love hearing the perspectives from the source. Great video. I come from a family of farmers. My mother and aunt were the first to leave that life but the richness of their upbringing on a dairy farm and surrounded by farms still resonates in them today.
Peter thank you for sharing this video of a contemporary rancher family of multiple generations. Their story needs to be shared with the world and I agree 100 % that misinformation has a agenda to discredit ranchers . Bravo to this family and you as well for choosing this topic .🙏🏽👏🏽
Another great view of life on the ranch and just how our meat is raised and treated. Not what many believe is real. Telling these stories as you do, I always learn something about people and how they treat other people and animals. Thanks for sharing.
Respect / kudos to this family for being candid and letting us into their world. No judgements.
Thanks again, Peter. The dinner table conversations that you show are the reality that we need to hear.
Wow!!!! I got so much of that. Thank you Peter for your time! Thank you ranch family for opening your private life up!!
Oh I got so homesick for the Plains ! Grew up in Kansas now live in Switzerland thers No place like home 😍 Lots of Love Jenny
Recently found your channel. I really appreciate what you are doing showing parts of our nation through the eyes of the real people who too often are being overlooked and marginalized. In this video the question was asked “What would you advise someone from California before coming to this area?”. I believe that the answer to this question would be to go into your new environment with an open mind and try to see things from another perspective and have honest, respectful dialog about the differences. To me that is what made “My America Great” and what we have lost. Thanks for what I see is an honest and non biased telling of these great stories. Andy Moore Mississippi
Wow, great report Peter. You do such a good job of not getting in the way of the people you interview. You don't step on their toes, you give them plenty of room to express themselves. Many times, that's not an easy thing to do for most interviewers/documentarians. Thanks for another fascinating look at life in America.
I just discovered your channel two days ago and I am addicted. Your videos are so interesting and well done. You allow the people you visit to tell their own stories and you don't interfere.
This is definitely one of the best American culture channels on RUclips. It’s wild what you think you know until you see how different everything really is.. between Texas through Arizona in the south/southwest there’s so many cultures most of us that grew up in the north never get to see about. Thanks for the awesome videos! Just moved to Arizona and watched the Navajo series can’t wait to visit.
Really enjoyed the conversation around the kitchen table. I agree with the farmers and ranchers on the way they live, raise their livestock etc. It's nature therefore it's natural. More and more people from the cities want these little homesteads and raising animals because they want their food to be healthy and know how the animals are being treated and what they are eating. God Bless, another great one!
this is a good channel, very much necessary in our times. thanks Peter, keep em coming.
Thanks Peter! This was amazing, I come from a rural American upbringing & now live in a city. I can’t wait to get back out!! My dad sold the farm a long time ago because individual farmers are a rare thing anymore. Our kids wish it was still in the family.
This was one of the best pieces I’ve watched of any type on any channel! Bravo! Here’s to mutual respect, which is so sorely lacking in this day of shove-it-down-your-throat narrative. I love this family’s view that outreach and transparency is the key. I wish I had more faith that anyone would listen, since listening seems to be such a lost art. Kudos to the university student who is so outnumbered yet stands in the truth- what an amazing young woman she is! The biggest problem is that students go to college to learn how to think but are taught what to think instead.
Awesome video, thank you for shining the light on ranchers!
Thanks peter for doing what you do!
The flying diamond cattle ranch family are
Awesome!
These videos can help educate a lot of people who have been getting the wrong information. I knew some of this story but I am learning much more. Keep it up!
Thank you Peter for this wonderful display of people. You take me to places I will never see.
Great interview. I love the diversity you cover and getting stories out from those that mainstream media doesn’t bother with. Especially enjoyed the perspective on cattle and beef production.
Freaking amazing video as always. Nothing but love and respect for you, Peter.
Peter, I'm from Alberta, Canada. Thank you for this. These are wonderful, thoughtful, educated people. I hope more people get to see this
You’re doing what the mainstream media use to do-honest journalism. Great job!
I grew-up in SE Colorado relatively close where this family is and absolutely loved this! Great series! I likely played High School sports against some of their friends and relatives in Eads and Kit Carson.
It it were about 10 years earlier, you would probably be able to find some people in the area to interview about the dust bowl as well.
I left the area when I was 18 and don’t necessarily think I could go back, but it will always be and feel like home. I have a lot of family there and people still recognize me 20+ years later just by how I look because of my dad. The people I grew-up with will always feel like family. It’s very hard to make a living out there, and the heat, wind, and drought out there is only getting worse, hence me not going back.
The hardest part of the divide between urban and rural is a lack of understanding and respect to/for each other, and being too dug-in on politics rather than having personal relationships with people who are very different than themselves. Hopefully this story is one of those pieces that helps close a bit of that divide.
Thanks again for such a great story and I’ll definitely be sharing it with friends so they can understand my perspective on rural living and ranching a bit better.
So you "loved" it, but you left the area? LOL Let's be honest here, bud, if you truly loved it, you wouldn't have left. But no, you're living in San Diego or Honolulu having the time of your life because corporate agriculture has allowed you to live such a lifestyle.
@@blake9668 since when does loving a place obligate you to live there? There’s thousands of places I love on this planet, doesn’t mean I have to live there 😂. Sometimes people move away to go to places with more opportunity. Not everyone wants to be a rancher in the middle of nowhere. No need to be a douche.
@@blake9668 Bitter much?
@@blake9668 Your presumptuous attitude is a big part of the reason why people are so divided across the U.S. today. The OP simply gave their story and you flew off the handle with assumptions. It's just poor behavior and all too common these days.
Thank you for this video I felt so guilty eating meat and scared frankly thinking I would get sick from the way they are treated thinking that they are tortured knowing this makes me feel so much better!
👍👍
Just remember asia people don't eat much meat and they live 20 years longer then Americans
I am 60 and live in rural Kansas, I have lived 20 years in the city and 40 years in rural Kansas, town population 1,500, I will never move back to the city ever! My wife was a farmgirl and we have been married 42 years! Great informative video, thanks for posting!
"KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"
I love the way you interview. You let the person tell their story without interrupting them just to hear yourself talk.
She is so right! It feels scary to put the name of your town out there when is so great because of the fear bad people moving there. Totally get the feeling!
It screwed up KommieRado decades ago..
@@SegoMan whats the real name? Just wondering
@@sarantsogtmunkhbaatar6974 Kommie-Rado is what used to be Colorado before the A-H*** from Cali showed up.
Theres lots of these small towns out in Eastern Colorado but they do need people to move out there especially young people just like her and I don't think she has to worry about bad people moving in you reallly have to be dedicated to move and stay out there
Love these personal down to earth stories in rural America you do Peter!! I have learned a ton of new perspective on how other people live on a daily basis. Keep'em coming!
Such a refreshing dinner table conversation! I guarantee they all sit down to the table together every day and discuss everything and anything and enjoy one another’s company. My family used to do this every night when everyone still lived home and I believe this tradition has fallen by the wayside. Strong family bonds are so important and this mentality is definitely one of a by gone era. Folks need to put the tech down and make time to sit and have a meal together and reunite and regain this family bond. Thank you Peter for all the hard work that goes into your videos! It’s definitely refreshing to see each new one! Keep up the awesome work and we’ll keep watching 👍🏻
This was an awesome video, definitely think this younger generation needs to hear more of this. I live in Southern Delaware and totally appreciate farmers of all kinds, and to be honest, they are some of the most knowledgeable, honest, and friendly folks I've ever met.
This was the best vid in your series - thank you so much for highlighting these communities. One thing that elite media and coastal people do is to negatively view farm / ranching people as being uneducated and dumb - only people in cities are smart enough to make decisions - such utter BS - these families are smart, intelligent and caring.
That's not true. I'm as East Coast as they come. Born in Brooklyn, raised Long Island. We actually have farms and horse ranches here (gasp! I know! And lots of wineries). Mostly out East on LI but there's a lot of ranches upstate in the country as well. We don't believe ranchers/farmers are unintelligent. It takes quite a bit of smarts, business savvy and hard work to run a successful business. I think that instead of highlighting a bias you are actually *stereotyping* coastal people.
I’m just a young mexican stoner that smokes weed on my RUclips channel, tryna me it out the hood One Day👌 When i look at the top where all the successful people are… there isn’t NO mexicans 😩😩
@@lisam2496 True enough - point taken. Sorry for the generalization. Guess I mostly think it is the city elites and media / political disparaging country people. I've been to upstate NY multiple times - beautiful country. I grew up in the country North of Denver surrounded by farms / ranches - I know how much smarts it takes to managing these properties.
@@k1_w3 Most of the discrimanotry remarks come from being called fly-over red neck country - farms on the coasts seem to escape this - IMO. As a kid, I felt it strongly even from the neighboring town kids - we were referred to as country hicks. This denigration of country folk has happened for a long long time.
@@SevenHunnid Peter will do quite an interview with successful folks of Mexican decent, and there are lots!
Peter that was one of your best.....I live in rural Ireland and the problems are just the same but on a smaller scale..City people know very little about where their food etc comes from...keep up the good work..
Very insightful. The work you are doing is amazing. Must mention, when the daughter was speaking at the table I thought "if this was my daughter I would be so proud". Smart and intellectual.
