Pete: Do the truck and yes leave the patina on it, yes it would make for a great advertisement at the farmers market. You are really a great small farmer and keep up the great interaction with us.
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ― Mark Twain
It was nice to hear Hillary talk about her pts and kids. She doesn't really talk much, unlike Pete of course. Thanks so much for sharing I really enjoy your channel.
Keep up the great work!!! Love the videos, you've inspired me to start my own small farm, I'm 14, my family farms in Saskatchewan canada, I've started my own part of the farm with a little bit of land my grandfather and father let me use, I restored our old barn built in 1912, I've purchased and restored a 1961 cockahutt 560 and my grandfather let's me use his allis chalmers B and his massey 135, he let's me use his old square baler and lots of our old cattle equipment, we havent done cattle in 20 years and I've bought my own and worked for all if it with my own money, I watched your video on dexter cattle and now I own two of my own.
You are restoring my faith in young people wanting to work hard and building themselves a better future. Somey, we are extremely proud of you. Keep up your great work.
Ok so I have got sheep since i was 13 I think my dad helps me most of the time but next year I will try to do most things my self except moving them over the road . And try to not use chemical fertilizer next year bc It’s not to good for them. I bought own manure spreader with my brother (a Bergman m64 spreader for those who are interested in that) and we have a manure overflow so it’s great timing for me
I am loving to see both you and your wife sitting peaceably together on the side of the chicken area conversing about your day to day farm experiences. Seeing how she is so settled in to what you both are doing tells me that you are the salt of the earth and your drive is to be the best small farm that you can be and you are working to harmoniously maximize your land without depleting it. Looking forward to seeing that truck on the move.
That guy on Vice Grip Garage is hilarious. That old farm truck would be a blast for you to get going again. It would be awesome if you took us through the process like Vice Grip Garage. Enjoy this gorgeous weather while we got it.
PETE!! Yes, fix the truck!! If I could ever own a small farm. I would do it just like you, but with one new tractor to replace your larger ones. I'd love your Farmall H and that tiny one with the snow plow. And of course to have an old truck exactly like that! Just for goin to town! Please do it. I would personally love to see it all shiny and new like your H. Its just so pretty. I love your channel for a few reasons. But I think one of the main reasons is bc my mom grew up outside Buffalo(Im born, raised and still in Houston, tx) in Elma on a dairy farm. Every year we visit the 1,000 islands and lately all I want is to start a small farm like yours in that region. Watching you, I get a glimpse into NY farm life and makes me want it more.
Great truck. Got my grandpa’s 1952 international l110 running few years ago. Hadn’t run since 1973. Turned her over by hand, cleaned carb and changed few gaskets, cleaned points and she fired right up.
Pete, the truck could be really cool to take to the farmers market. Put a nice stained oak wooden box on it, like the ones of yesterday. Paint it bright red and you're ready to standout at the market! Your videos are so much fun to watch because you are so relaxed living your life on the farm. Thanks Pete for sharing Darrel
Great truck. I got my grandpa’s 1952 international l110 running few years ago. Last time it ran was 1973. Turned it over by hand, cleaned and did few things to carb and cleaned the points. Fired up.
truck? Yes please!!! I would love to see that old International up and running again!!! and yes keep the patina! Cant wait to see some videos on that! And the MD!
On a farm you don't need a gym. The weights are hay and heavy stuff, treadmill is walking the fields and don't forget spending time with the animals is relaxing I find which replaces yoga
I'm so thrilled you are doing this. I found my 1969 AMC AMX 390 AFTER SITTING FOR 25 YEARS.. The nice guy that owned it was a great mechanic and rebuilt the whole drive train before parking it 25 years ago. The only rust was from the car cover holds moisture that will rust. He painted it red and his wife drove it to work for a few years. I knew something had to be done and it called me. My wife thought I was a nut to take on the project. It took me two years to complete but it's never done. I hope it stays on your brain and it gets down right. Go to some car shows with your wife and kids and they'll tell those stories to their grandkids. You made my day. Don't let you tube nuts get in your head. Just think someday they get some help. Kill them with kindness. Only takes over coming stage 4 tonsil cancer to make you only look at the good stuff and shake off the bad. Neal
I can attest to the fact that winter is coming, have just over 3 inches of snow here in Casper Wyoming with more to come in the next 24 hours, first snowfall of the year.
That’s a nice ‘55. A great winter project. It could be the new Farmer’s Market truck. A metal flatbed with removable stake-sides would be handy. Take care & stay safe. Cheers from BC
We just watched your 'Just 5 Miles' video again from October 2022. We find your videos rather informative and detailed, and your interaction and camaraderie with the animals is very interesting. It is HARD work and you both make it look easy. Now, about the cheese factory in France and the deBrie. That joke was absolutely funny. It had me laughing so hard, and when I stole your joke and forwarded to my circle, the responses were hilarious! Continue the great job that you, Hilary, and the family do.👌🏾💯
Just beautiful! Thank you for helping we to travel back in time. I’m 66 years old and lived a pretty good life until I found you. Now it’s even better for these trips back in time where the views, sounds of old days farming wakes un the kid in me. So real I can smell the grass! Thank you very much fort this! I’ll be ever grateful!
That's a nice truck, you should fix it! Good to see Hillary, she was more talkative today....she has a beautiful smile! How did you get so lucky? 😆 Kids are funny, all to soon they will be enjoying your company..... Hugs!🤗💜🤗 Pete, the cows are bossing you around....🤣🤣🤣 so funny! Love your videos!
I have a friend that’s a hog farmer in Shiawassee County Michigan. And he also collects old International trucks and fixes them up. He had a beautiful red sixties model that he used to drive to work. I’ll have to introduce him to your site. Love your videos Pete. They really help to slow me down when I’m experiencing PTSD from that old war. Thanks so much!
Yes, do restore the old International Harvester truck. My dad's first cousin was the International truck dealer that covered southeast Iowa for many years. Almost everyone in our family and in our neighborhood drove several International pickups and trucks. The last pickup my dad had was a 1973 heavy duty half ton that was fire engine red. I was so proud of that when he brought it home. Yes, do leave the original patina if you can. I prefer original patina, unless the paint is really bad.
Would love to see the old IH truck get up and running. Sounds like it has a lot of life left in it. You should contact VGG and see if he would come help you!😁
Pete, another great video as always. Definitely restore the old truck and get Henry involved! A young friend of mine asked if I could help him restore a 50's Ford Crestline that was in a garage for 30 years. I jumped at the opportunity to pass down the skills. We had a great time! Working on old flathead fords brought back a lot of memories!! They are so easy to work on!! We had it started in one weekend and street legal in two months. Big difference from the vintage jet fighters that I restore now as a hobby. Nice seeing you and Hillary collaborating. You should do that maybe once or twice a week as the ending.
Pete, I love watching you and Hillary sit and converse. You two are what I would call the perfect match. Yes, we would like to see the ole truck run again. However I personally would prefer to see the 656 and 756 return to full glory. Your friend Bob
I remember sitting in my back yard watching my chickens walk across the yard and whenever the hens laid there eggs they sing. I laugh whenever you telling us about the chicken starts singing.
It seems to be fairly effective for keeping deer out of our electric fence when we tie orange flag tape along the fence… usually one piece about every 30-40 feet. I suppose the deer can see the tape blowing in the wind and somewhat stay away. It’s a little unsightly, but fairly effective.
The International truck repair is a great idea. When I was a boy my Dad had a 51 International pickup that we kept on the farm until I was in my teens. Drove that thing around the dirt roads in the country. Great memories of that old truck.
Hey mister Pete Miss Hillary I enjoy your show very very much in the hospital right now I've been here for about about a week pray for me yes I look forward as you get in the truck running and flatbed I enjoy watching you and Hillary a lot how to get the truck fixed and enjoy it God bless you all on the back of it and just enjoying it
Oh the old truck project is a must! That would be great addition to your booth at the farmers market and owning an old truck is great for the sole I have my Grandpas 64 Chevy pickup and it’s always the talk at our farmers market!
Hello Peter & Hillary. Great seeing you today at a restful part of your day. That truck... 1955. The year I was born!! Love to see it on the road. Be well.
I must say. Pete and Hillary, you have the most beautiful, luscious pastures I have ever seen! Keep up the great work with the rotations with the cattle!
Pete! My daughter is a cheerleader for Oakland University. Nice!! I also liked the VGG shout out… Living vicariously throughout your farm life from Michigan. Many Thanks…..
Watching the livestock do their thing is very peaceful especially the cows grazing. I'm sure you caqn get the old IH truck going like you did all your tractors. Great looking turkeys!
Get that truck going, stick a bed on the back and use that to haul all your freezers and chests to market. That would be so awesome! Might even drum up a few more customers just because of it being unique and not everyone driving something like that. If not customers, new friends!
Your channel is now the first thing I watch in the morning. Catching up on your old videos. I enjoyed your pleasant demeanor (both of you). You're very frank. It's very educational and I've learned a lot already.
Pete, I think you and Derek should do a video together reviving that International truck. That would be a blast to watch! Two of my favorite channels on TH-cam.
I realized why I like this channel so much. It brings me back into a world that isn't so big and I'm so small. It brings to place when times were simpler and life had a connection to the Earth and each other. So peaceful...so humble.
HI there Pete. I just finished thinking "What truck, let me see it"...then you took us to see it. I love it. I can already see it with a nice wooden deck and sides. That would complete the package to have your farm logo on the side of both doors and role up to the Ithaca farmers market in it. As well as driving to town, the butcher and your farm supply store to name a few. I can't wait to see it going...no presser, just excited.
Bonnie Bellmer has been watching Pete and his Just a Few Acres TH-cam broadcasts. Pete gives tips and advice to folk that are Gardening and Farming on a smaller basis scale. Pete has a small farm in upstate New York. Pete asked for his subscribers to send in division I college shirts to him. Pete received over 250. Well today’s broadcast he was wearing the Golden Grizzlies of Oakland University Bonnie’s Alma Mater. Thanks Pete!!
Hey Pete. Just finished watching your video on the future of farming this morning and I have a new possibility to offer. I'm hoping that people in general (because my Dutch government already is showing signs that it does), will come around to the idea that large farms may have significantly damaged nature and the environment but that small traditionally run farms will significantly help restoring that same environment. As a former feed hauler I know for a fact that the Dutch government has helped small farms in our most populated areas to stay in business for many years. And since a couple years farmers that save birds that are nesting on the ground and have grass fields that include wild herbs and plants are being compensated with money. A small diverse farm (a "mixed farm" as we call them here (animals AND crops)) of a smaller size (a 100 HP farm as we say (where the biggest tractor they operate is below 100 horsepower)) has a very elegant equilibrium with nature, as you well know. Governments simply can't afford to "repair" mother nature, but small farms that make a profit can. As the whole of agriculture in Europe is already very heavily regulated, which started the up-scaling in the first place, it's just a matter of changing the regulations.
Good morning! Would love to have your weather. We just had around 22 tornadoes.....our house had no issues however, our youngest son, 28 yoa, place of employment was pretty much destroyed. Almost all of his tools were lost, or destroyed. The company is taking care of their employees. I'm thankful no one was in the building when the tornado hit. Expecting more rain, and severe weather tonight. The weather people advice we have a low chance of tornadoes tonight.
You know what Pete I like your videos because I'm not sensational! I can watch enough of that on television I like your laid back enjoyable videos please don't stop making them I like what you do around your farm I can get some very interesting thank you for sharing
Pete, absolutely do the truck, and I agree, leave the patina, but I would also say, make a rat rod out of it. Ya know, like the Munsters rat rod.....lol, very cool.
That truck would be an AWESOME "Ambassador" for the farm! It will stand out in a crowd of cars, so everyone will look at it. And I agree with clean the patina and then clear-coat it to lock it in. Stake-sided flat bed would look pretty sweet too!
Love the reference to Vise Grip Garage and the "bleepity bloop" in the comments. As a Connecticut guy who spent every possible moment at my grandfather's farm in upstate Vermont I appreciate your approach to farming. Thanks for the info and looking forward to watching the progress in the International.
We sit and watch our chickens. We call it watching chicken TV. If we want to change the channel, we turn our chairs or change the location we sit to one of the many swings we have around our farm. Then we watch goat tv or pig tv or duck tv or sheep tv. We got 2 new channels this year: steer tv and turkey tv. 😆 Sometimes we watch sunset tv. Makes a nice peaceful end to a busy day.
In a gone era if we didn't need fuel, or other services we would hear the noon whistle we would park the tractor at the end of the field, and walk home to eat. At the 6 o'clock whistle we would walk home to milk, and eat. It was a good time. Frequently you remind me of those days. Thanks Pete.
Heck yes, that old International is just calling to be used again. With a stakebed. And definitely keep the patina. I didn't hear if it is the 220/6 L? Outstanding motor.... for the time. My Dad changed two cyc. sleeves and pistons (used out of another truck), in the snow outside next to the barn.

Pete: Do the truck and yes leave the patina on it, yes it would make for a great advertisement at the farmers market. You are really a great small farmer and keep up the great interaction with us.
Totally agree with John...could be a great symbol for the farm at market and around town.
I agree. I just found this older video. Do the truck. I love watching your instinctive mechanical work as much as everything else.

So true.

That segment made this one of my favorite videos.

Awesome!
That's great for a 14 yr old, congratulations.
We're so impressed! That is a lot of work. You must love to see things change before your eyes and become more useful. Impressive!
You are restoring my faith in young people wanting to work hard and building
themselves a better future. Somey, we are extremely proud of you.

Never watched Vice Grip Garage but Mutie1 is somewhere in New York I think, he is great with anything from weed whackers to trucks?
@@COIcultist Mustie is in New Hampshire.
@@Dratchev241 Not at my brightest. I never checked out where he lives, and I finished with a question mark when I'm certain he is great with engines.
Mustie is ok but Vise Grip has humour lots and lots of humour
@@COIcultist Oh boy if we couldn't get Pete and Mustie1 together to work on that IH, that would be a treat.
"I think their way of thanking me is not yelling at me" - this reminds me of children during puberty.
PETE!!

I love how your daughter acknowledged Hiliare in public for the first time. That is soo
true with kids. Ha, Ha, Ha
I worked at my local grocery store in high school and college. I always acknowledged my Dad or Mom when they came in to shop.
Ray price song Wish i was 18 again, great singer, great song. Beautiful farm makes me wish i was 18 again. love those cattle.

I can attest to the fact that winter is coming, have just over 3 inches of snow here in Casper Wyoming with more to come in the next 24 hours, first snowfall of the year.
A man and a woman and no drama!!! A thing of beauty. Thanks again, Pete.
Peter, you are more than an advisor or teacher for the wide range of ages of your viewers. You are a true mentor!
"i like to bother the cat when hes sleeping" 🤣🤣🤣🤣, its gems like that quote are why i watch this channel
The international Farm truck project would b amazingg!!!!
Love the shoutout to vice grip! Our family watches the both of you every week!
I love the sound the grass makes when they wrap their tongue around it and pulling it with their teeth. Wonderfully pleasant sound.
Being a keen follower of Vice Grip Garage - YES please revive the truck - you could even wake up the "lightning make-it-happener" - probably not!
That’s a nice ‘55. A great winter project. It could be the new Farmer’s Market truck. A metal flatbed with removable stake-sides would be handy. Take care & stay safe. Cheers from BC
We just watched your 'Just 5 Miles' video again from October 2022. We find your videos rather informative and detailed, and your interaction and camaraderie with the animals is very interesting. It is HARD work and you both make it look easy.
Now, about the cheese factory in France and the deBrie. That joke was absolutely funny. It had me laughing so hard, and when I stole your joke and forwarded to my circle, the responses were hilarious! Continue the great job that you, Hilary, and the family do.👌🏾💯
AW! Your darling daughter's acknowledgement. Ya MOM and Dad!
Rough day at work, long day. Poured myself an IPA tonight and took a gander of Just a Few Acres Farm before bed. Thanks Pete. I needed that.
I love everything about this farm and how the animals are taken care of . Just a few wonderful acres
Hillary's store about going to the store had me laughing, she's a gem!
I really enjoy when you and Hilary just sit down and chat to the camera.
Just beautiful! Thank you for helping we to travel back in time. I’m 66 years old and lived a pretty good life until I found you. Now it’s even better for these trips back in time where the views, sounds of old days farming wakes un the kid in me. So real I can smell the grass! Thank you very much fort this! I’ll be ever grateful!
Do the truck it will be fun to watch! I enjoy Derrick also! Just don’t forget to check the fire make it happener
That's a nice truck, you should fix it! Good to see Hillary, she was more talkative today....she has a beautiful smile! How did you get so lucky? 😆
Kids are funny, all to soon they will be enjoying your company..... Hugs!🤗💜🤗 Pete, the cows are bossing you around....🤣🤣🤣 so funny! Love your videos!
That old truck is the bomb!!! I adore old trucks and pickups from the Fifties and before!!🛻❤️🛻
I love cows! And it will be great to see the truck being restored…I know you can do it! Hillary is a fun gal too!
I'm on board with the International truck.
It fits in with your appreciation for IHC equipment.
I noticed the Mack bulldog on the hood.
I have a friend that’s a hog farmer in Shiawassee County Michigan. And he also collects old International trucks and fixes them up. He had a beautiful red sixties model that he used to drive to work. I’ll have to introduce him to your site. Love your videos Pete. They really help to slow me down when I’m experiencing PTSD from that old war. Thanks so much!

Them chickens is also happy that you set where you do, so they can watch you folks.
I love watching you guy interact as husband and wife holding conversations about your lives. Great to see real couples.

Talking to those cows. I Love it!
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀
Well I'll be dipped! That IH truck looks like the perfect goin' to town rig!
The best fertilizer for your land are the footprints of it's owner - Keep walking Pete.
I must say. Pete and Hillary, you have the most beautiful, luscious pastures I have ever seen! Keep up the great work with the rotations with the cattle!
That is the best compliment! Thank you Jeffrey!
Pete! My daughter is a cheerleader for Oakland University. Nice!!
I also liked the VGG shout out…

Definitely do the truck Pete. I think that would make a real cool project for you.
I'm sorry and I may be a dork but its awesome watching this. Thank you!!
I loved the cheese 🧀 joke omg hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 and that truck would be beautiful running again 🤩
Oh heck yah - seeing that truck come to life will be kick butt.
That old IH truck would be perfect as a farmers market truck! I agrees with the patina and farm logo on the doors. Flatbed of course
Your channel is now the first thing I watch in the morning. Catching up on your old videos. I enjoyed your pleasant demeanor (both of you). You're very frank. It's very educational and I've learned a lot already.
LOL love you guys! Oh yes please redo the truck! I love to see old things restored to their former glory.
That truck is a gem would be great advertising. I saw one with an oak rear bed with sides. You could put the freezers on it and off to market!
I kid you not, I’m sitting with my six chickens watching your show. Lol. Great minds!
They thank you by giving you lovely food and well-being ✌️
Yeah, do the truck for the farm with logo! Great idea.
Pete, I think you and Derek should do a video together reviving that International truck. That would be a blast to watch! Two of my favorite channels on TH-cam.
It is great to see Hillary open up and speak her mind. You go Farmer!

Good to see the "Oakland University" shirt. my son attended there 20 years ago.
The cows are funny! Very vocal! I always have a chuckle😊
Great seeing you and Hillary sitting down and talking. ☺️
Bonnie Bellmer has been watching Pete and his Just a Few Acres TH-cam broadcasts. Pete gives tips and advice to folk that are Gardening and Farming on a smaller basis scale. Pete has a small farm in upstate New York. Pete asked for his subscribers to send in division I college shirts to him. Pete received over 250. Well today’s broadcast he was wearing the Golden Grizzlies of Oakland University Bonnie’s Alma Mater. Thanks Pete!!
I always laugh at your jokes. You are funny guy. Like watching you and your wife chatting. She actually likes your jokes as well.
Hey Pete. Just finished watching your video on the future of farming this morning and I have a new possibility to offer. I'm hoping that people in general (because my Dutch government already is showing signs that it does), will come around to the idea that large farms may have significantly damaged nature and the environment but that small traditionally run farms will significantly help restoring that same environment. As a former feed hauler I know for a fact that the Dutch government has helped small farms in our most populated areas to stay in business for many years. And since a couple years farmers that save birds that are nesting on the ground and have grass fields that include wild herbs and plants are being compensated with money.
A small diverse farm (a "mixed farm" as we call them here (animals AND crops)) of a smaller size (a 100 HP farm as we say (where the biggest tractor they operate is below 100 horsepower)) has a very elegant equilibrium with nature, as you well know.
Governments simply can't afford to "repair" mother nature, but small farms that make a profit can. As the whole of agriculture in Europe is already very heavily regulated, which started the up-scaling in the first place, it's just a matter of changing the regulations.
Good morning! Would love to have your weather. We just had around 22 tornadoes.....our house had no issues however, our youngest son, 28 yoa, place of employment was pretty much destroyed. Almost all of his tools were lost, or destroyed. The company is taking care of their employees. I'm thankful no one was in the building when the tornado hit. Expecting more rain, and severe weather tonight. The weather people advice we have a low chance of tornadoes tonight.
You know what Pete I like your videos because I'm not sensational! I can watch enough of that on television I like your laid back enjoyable videos please don't stop making them I like what you do around your farm I can get some very interesting thank you for sharing
Hey, Pete me and my daughter love watching your videos.
Pete, absolutely do the truck, and I agree, leave the patina, but I would also say, make a rat rod out of it. Ya know, like the Munsters rat rod.....lol, very cool.
I told mum that cheese joke and she groaned pretty hard. If I had been closer I might have gotten a whack on the shoulder! So, great success! :D
I look at it like your cows are just talking to you their way of communicating not complaining. Sweet💕. I love that.💞
Im excited to see you tinker on that old truck!!!
Yes the international a fall project!!!!
PLEASE get to that truck! That thing is beautiful! I am SO looking forward to a video series of that restoration.
Pete, great old truck. Yes U should fix it up. Great seeing your lovely wife Hillary. Love your videos
That truck would be an AWESOME "Ambassador" for the farm! It will stand out in a crowd of cars, so everyone will look at it. And I agree with clean the patina and then clear-coat it to lock it in. Stake-sided flat bed would look pretty sweet too!
Flat bed with a lift gate for the freezers for the farmers market.
Love the reference to Vise Grip Garage and the "bleepity bloop" in the comments. As a Connecticut guy who spent every possible moment at my grandfather's farm in upstate Vermont I appreciate your approach to farming. Thanks for the info and looking forward to watching the progress in the International.
The pasture is glorious! Lucky cows.
Getting close to deer season! Good luck!
We sit and watch our chickens. We call it watching chicken TV. If we want to change the channel, we turn our chairs or change the location we sit to one of the many swings we have around our farm. Then we watch goat tv or pig tv or duck tv or sheep tv. We got 2 new channels this year: steer tv and turkey tv. 😆 Sometimes we watch sunset tv. Makes a nice peaceful end to a busy day.
Like how you make farming look like fun especially when the animals acknowledge you as you speak to them
I love vice grip!!! You can certainly do him proud too. Look forward to watching the truck come back
In a gone era if we didn't need fuel, or other services we would hear the noon whistle we would park the tractor at the end of the field, and walk home to eat. At the 6 o'clock whistle we would walk home to milk, and eat. It was a good time.
Frequently you remind me of those days. Thanks Pete.
It looks very relaxing watching cluck cluck TV.
Heck yes, that old International is just calling to be used again. With a stakebed. And definitely keep the patina.
I didn't hear if it is the 220/6 L?
Outstanding motor.... for the time.
My Dad changed two cyc. sleeves and pistons (used out of another truck), in the snow outside next to the barn.
Black stain pine bed with the patina would look amazing. Good luck with it! We will be watching!!!
