That was a great video. Things are coming along well and the ending was special. It was really cool to see the turkeys settling in for the evening. Thanks again and I will see you in the next one.
Nice work on that storage barn! Absolutely loved the late part with the turkeys! Like waiting for your kids to get their last drinks and snacks before bedtime!
Good morning Pete. I could seriously need that Pole barn. I started more as a small hobby farm but heck i collected quite an amount of farm machinery. Even got myself an old International 105 combine to restore. 😊
It's a Sunday afternoon with my feet up and my favorite 40lb chicken that identifies as a dog has her head on my lap while I'm playing an "air base" with my fingers up and down her back along to the soundtrack of the turkeys going to bed. Each measure of 8th notes causes her back leg to start scratching. She liked that part of your program so much that she wanted to see again a few times. The pole barn is looking good! Unless you weld day-in-day-out you're not going to be dropping dimes like a journeyman welder. But you do just fine. If you were really concerned about fire you might have a bucket of water on hand. But in a barn that has new gravel, wetting down the post is good enough. You got your heifer dust kickers on so you can stomp on anything that might flair up. The place at this time of year looks great. Tell Hillary she does great work if you haven't already.😉👍
Very entertaining video, I sure got tired watching the turkeys getting ready for bed... I fell asleep for a bit myself. Thanks Peter and Hillary for all you do, your channel is a blessing for all us viewers. Be well, best wishes. 😊
There's nothing wrong with your tractors, at least you don't have a payment looming over you. I have older tractors too, I like that I don't have all those electronics and DEF to deal with. Good advice with the stone for fill, I used clean on my slabs, less work without compaction. Looks good with the stone, good job, I did enjoy watching, thanks. Have a good day.
Hello Pete. I enjoy your channel very much. I especially like when you and your wife are doing something there on the farm. You have some jokes that make me laugh and some jokes not so much.?. Don't feel bad I have had the same experience. When I say a flubber or something goes haywire I just tell people I have been shot down more times and Snoopy. I don't worry about it. I like watching you with your animals, I can tell they are very at ease around you. God bless you for treating them so well. I am a retired farmer and Walmart associate from Southeast Iowa. PS. I am envious of your new pole barn and keep up the farmers market videos and videos of you three guys at machinery auctions. Thank you for making my day brighter😊
Pete with that welder in his hands is scary but, he seems to know what he's doing. Now, when he attaches the electric fence he nearly always gets electrocuted. He jumps like hell is on his heels when he gets zapped 💤 😮
Pete my husband watches you every day. He really enjoys your videos. I kid him all the time by saying if Pete says it's good then it's good. We both enjoy you a whole lot. So thanks from the Bloomers in Va.
I have huge respect for you, Pete & Hillary for the farmstyle you champion with all the ups and downs; And am grateful you share it all with us your loyal fans!!! Have some fun you two!!! 😊
The description on gravel and compacting soil makes a lot of sense for base under a concrete slab. Building inspectors always make a determination if the soil under that foundation is dense and supportive enough for the weight and support of the concrete foundation and build. Those tractors finally found their own home to roost in like the turkeys.
Love you and what you stand for Pete! I live alone and sometimes it's hard for me to find motivation to work on my house and get stuff done alone. I wear your Just a few acres farm shirt and have your videos playing in the background. Something about that combination gives me the ability to get up and get stuff done. Thank you, Pete.
I swear Mr. Pete I think those 2 pigs in the pasture are the best looking you've ever raised and you've had some good ones. I never knew the pole barn had as much room until you started parking equipment in it. The turkeys look great!
Good morning Pete, this is Darlene from California. I love your videos. I love you and your family and I love your old tractors. Thanks for being there.
I was thinking Pete, if you named the Turkeys as you do the cattle, it would be easy for you talk to. Hey Tom, get of there, Tom WAKE UP! 😂 I can't wait for the shop to be built as another tractor redo should follow. Thank you Pete and Hillary for sharing . It is so enjoyable!
I've gotten to the point where I automatically click the thumbs-up as soon as the video starts. This may seem presumptuous but Just A Few Acres Farm has never put out a disappointing video in the few years I've been watching!
What a magnificent production, Pete! Thank you so much... nice to see everything falling into place due to a lot of work on your family's part. Also a unique view on how your turkeys like to bed down for the night... the flock dynamics are a real treat to enjoy! For someone who doesn't weld all that often, that lower bead looks quite professional... good job! Thanks again for a bit of the good life and allowing folks like us to see the world as you see it, albeit from a certain point of view... 👍 🖖
Looked like a beautiful day, Pete. There's something to the simple, complicated simplicity of an old tractor, in my opinion. Love the turkeys roosting ending. Thank you for sharing!
I sure can see the pure pride in you when you start that MD. All the pain and agony that you went through in restoring that family tractor sure was worth it. A job well done.
Hi Pete! Your channel is great! Been following you for about a year and a half and I learn/affirm what I’m trying to do as I develop my own homestead. I recall two videos, maybe three that you talked about what the comments do to your psyche; please know what you produce and share is and should be a blessing for anyone lucky enough to stumble upon your content. You and Hillary work hard, intelligent, and just good people. I can’t say enough of what you provide and the positive impact you have on people. The comment you made on this video about finally accomplishing the barn(s) project i can truly relate to and I think is one of the reasons I enjoy developing a homestead - there are so many opportunities to admire the work you can accomplish and then relish in the fruits of your labor; at least for a short time as there are always a list of other projects on the horizon. I hope to meet you in the future, just not sure how being in Kentucky but you never know. Thanks again for what you do on this channel and society.
It’s been a great summer . Thought it was going to be dry but Mother Nature brought the rain .watching the new barn develop was a treat ,all the while watching the progress of the livestock . We had a great road trip and saw a magnificent flag . You have found the magic that makes it work . Thank you and your family for allowing us to tag along . God bless
Pete, in 1987, we built a new 60’x60’ steel building at our family dealership. The concrete contractor wasn’t going to compact the base, because he said it wasn’t necessary. We had hauled the stone with our own trucks, and there was 217 tons in total, the contractor claimed he was at the proper grade. Fearing that the slab would crack, we rented a vibratory roller, and I operated it. In less than five minutes, the grade had changed so much, both trucks headed back to the quarry. Ninety-seven tons later, we were back to proper grade. Thirty-six tears have passed, and that slab has zero cracks in it. For what you are doing compaction isn’t critical, but under a building slab, it’s a different story.
You did not say what type of fill was used, but I think we’re in agreement. Under a commercial building slab, I would have required Proctor tests of structural fill to ensure proper compaction. Also, I would never advise to use clean stone for deep fill. instead, use graded structural fill for the majority, then finish with clean stone to shim the slab sub base.
You really got the bath looking great, and the upper barn has so much more room now. So excited about the new build of your shop, and so glad you are finally going to have the shop you dreamed of having. Really enjoy watching your videos, you and Hillary make me laugh every video. You are such a awesome creator and do a great job.
I think the barn clean up and the redo looks great . That is one thing I wish for is to have a roof over my head as I water and feed all my animals. You've all done a great job
With that many tractors it amazes me they all start and run so easily- especially the gas ones. There are so many things to do to deal with today's gasoline and occasionally I'll forget. The struggle is real!
Now I can see how it is all coming together, and the functionality that you are going for, less work for you and Hillary and the comfort for the animals, can't wait to see the finished product. Good tidings going forward.
Oh what a wonderful treat that was, watching the turkeys go to bed! lol I enjoyed that so much. Watched it twice. Please do that again. :)))) Thank you, Pete
I think you and your wife do a great job and a farm is a work In progress it for you to enjoy keep up the great work looking forward to more great videos God Bless
Them little piggies ain't quite so shy now, nor so little! In regards the driveway, it it's good enough for you, it's perfect. NIce shot on the turkeys going to bed.
Great video. Loved to see your pigs coming for their food and each getting a pat on the back. Seems like yesterday they were really skittish around you. That Pete is why your husbandry skills are first class. Animals know instinctively when to trust a human. Always enjoyed brain and behaviour psychology when training as a medic/biologist 50 years back; still do and have a wild male crow who never flinches near me. Saved him from being trapped in my house when he was a fledgling, he is now 8 and shows off in flypasts and has a response call for me when I give him and his extended family food. God bless and thank you for so many inspiring videos, best from the UK.
That barn full of Farmall red is great !!! My G-daughter (4) came out to join me while the turkeys were roosting. She squealed with delight. Had to go inside & share with Nanny & Mom who were absolutely delighted to be woken up in such a fashion !!!! 😆😆😆
I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the progress on the barns. I'm looking forward to seeing the cattle in their new place. Those are some nice-looking turkeys. Good night. 😴
That short piece of the turkeys bedding down was awesome, Pete. Saw some wild turkeys roosting on a fence last week when we were up on Cape Cod-about five of them roughly the size of yours. And the MD-is gorgeous! What a splendid piece of machinery and your restoration, impeccable! Have a great week!!
Pete, for all the time I've been watching you, you have come on heeps and bounds. Something to admired, of course that's includes your wife. Behind every good man there's a great Wife 😊❤
The barns look fantastic. Glad to have seen the journey. The workshop project will be exciting to watch also. 😊
Eu também!
👍
Dear Pete, you never cease to amaze me ! Your energy, planning, and versatile talents…. Thank you for sharing how the turkeys tuck in for the night 😊
As a fellow gear-head, I really enjoy the tractor startup/warmup sequences. It's like I'm standing there helping Pete out.
I wish i could cook a turkey, im in a nursing home. My cooking days are over. But i can still enjoy youns videos.Thank you and God bless.
The cleaned out barn looks great. And how much easier this winter to feed the cattle! Work smarter not harder 😊
Pensei o mesmo.
Ficava com dó em ver o gado exposto na época do frio.
The turkeys roost was pretty cool. I have five girls grandchildren they run through house saying come on cows.😂
Loved seeing the turkeys get ready for bed 😍
Congratulations! What a lovely addition. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to see what Titus, Ordin(and the girls) think of their new digs!
Looks awesome Pete , can't wait to see the new shop get started ! Fun to watch the turkeys going to roost ! Thank You Pete ! GOD BLESS !!!
I like it when you share your construction and design experiences. Great content.
It must be very satisfying to have those barn jobs completed, your farm always looks so peaceful. Have a great day!
That was a great video. Things are coming along well and the ending was special. It was really cool to see the turkeys settling in for the evening. Thanks again and I will see you in the next one.
Looks great. Love the morning sounds. Pete ever thought of filming the chickens routine of going to bed I bet most would enjoy it. Susan
I always check to see if I have a new video notification every Sunday after church! It's a routine I enjoy....
Just a few Acres gets my week started in a positive direction
I have to say love the animal finally, you guys have a great place, thank you for making these videos as always
Nice work on that storage barn! Absolutely loved the late part with the turkeys! Like waiting for your kids to get their last drinks and snacks before bedtime!
Looks like a Red Power Tractor show inside the barn! 👍
Good morning Pete. I could seriously need that Pole barn. I started more as a small hobby farm but heck i collected quite an amount of farm machinery. Even got myself an old International 105 combine to restore. 😊
105 is a good rig, and not that crazy joystick steering like a 95!
I had wondered about how the turkeys roosted. Way different than my chickens, who all tend to go up at the same time. Thanks. Learned something.
Love your farm Pete. I like you sharing your thought processes of where you're taking things.
It's a Sunday afternoon with my feet up and my favorite 40lb chicken that identifies as a dog has her head on my lap while I'm playing an "air base" with my fingers up and down her back along to the soundtrack of the turkeys going to bed.

If you were really concerned about fire you might have a bucket of water on hand. But in a barn that has new gravel, wetting down the post is good enough. You got your heifer dust kickers on so you can stomp on anything that might flair up.

older John Deeres here. Paid for and loved. they get the job done
Those turkeys look like they’re ready for freezer camp! 💙
Good morning you guys .. I hope it's a nice peaceful day for you. ❤
Hello Pete. I enjoy your channel very much. I especially like when you and your wife are doing something there on the farm. You have some jokes that make me laugh and some jokes not so much.?.

Nice idea to show the turkey before sleeping. Thank you.

I have huge respect for you, Pete & Hillary for the farmstyle you champion with all the ups and downs; And am grateful you share it all with us your loyal fans!!! Have some fun you two!!! 😊
Ahh, the self satisfaction when its snowing, blowing cold, and ya gotta feed a bale. All inside !!
Turkeys going to bed. I could watch this again and again.
As always great to watch you both and hope you all are doing well too

Every time you startup a tractor you smile from ear to ear. Happy equipment happy farmer.
I swear Mr. Pete I think those 2 pigs in the pasture are the best looking you've ever raised and you've had some good ones. I never knew the pole barn had as much room until you started parking equipment in it. The turkeys look great!
You do need a new tractor, pete!! More old farmalls lol I love you seeing you build your collection!!
Good morning Pete, this is Darlene from California. I love your videos. I love you and your family and I love your old tractors. Thanks for being there.
The music playing while we watch the turkeys was perfect! Made me smile! Thanks.
I’m glad you soaked that wood before you started welding, Pete. You see… its what all of professionals swear by.
Amazing seeing all those happy turkey's 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Beautiful morning.

Everything is looking beautiful.
Enjoyed watching the tractors and turkeys gather in their roost. 😊
You are so happy. Nice to see people loving what they do. Good choice on music with high-speed video of the turkey's nighttime ritual.
Enjoyed the video and watching the turkeys bed down for the night.
What a magnificent production, Pete! Thank you so much... nice to see everything falling into place due to a lot of work on your family's part. Also a unique view on how your turkeys like to bed down for the night... the flock dynamics are a real treat to enjoy!

Watching the turkeys get ready for bed was a treat, thank you for the!!
Hey Pete, I am not quit sure, but Happy Birthday 🎉 I am from Germany and watch your Videos with love. Please continue to be as you be 🤗
Thank you.
Those Farmall Tractors look amazing parked next to each other. You've done an amazing job restoring them Pete.
To make this upload while being so busy is very generous, thank you!
Looked like a beautiful day, Pete. There's something to the simple, complicated simplicity of an old tractor, in my opinion. Love the turkeys roosting ending. Thank you for sharing!

Your hard work really pays off
Looking good Pete. Hopefully your pre-winter to-do list is shrinking, not growing!
this station always brightens my start of the day
The long stare and nod into the camera made me crack up. I really love your sense of humour. ❤😂
The turkey thing was a cute idea and my wife and I really enjoyed it. As a plus, we learned something about turkey behavior.
Pete, in 1987, we built a new 60’x60’ steel building at our family dealership. The concrete contractor wasn’t going to compact the base, because he said it wasn’t necessary.

Loved it all...but the Turkey scene won the prize this time. Your videos are NEVER boring.
Another lovely day...on just a few acres. I miss how the world outside melts away under the needs of the farm.
You really got the bath looking great, and the upper barn has so much more room now. So excited about the new build of your shop, and so glad you are finally going to have the shop you dreamed of having. Really enjoy watching your videos, you and Hillary make me laugh every video. You are such a awesome creator and do a great job.
"It's a new day, chickens!". Now there's a t-shirt idea if I ever heard one.
Pete your progressing that is the main thing. Turkeys were hillarious😊 Thank you for the insite.🦃🦃🦃🦃
The music for the turkey part of the video was priceless! Thanks for sharing.
I think the barn clean up and the redo looks great . That is one thing I wish for is to have a roof over my head as I water and feed all my animals. You've all done a great job

Haha! You have as many Tractors and implements as you do cattle!
The Turkeys look like they are getting ready for a Drive-In movie to start
What a beautiful calm morning 😊
I think it’s great you still use the older tractors 😊
What crazy birds they all now there own spot
Pete you look sooo HAPPY with your farmall tractors. Like boy lining up his Hot-wheels.
When you look at the camera up close its nice to see all the lights on and everyone is home.
The tractor parking lot looks very good. I know this is going to sound strange but I could watch you work all day Pete. Have a great day.
It was an interesting video but the best part was SPENDING TIME WITH THE TURKEYS!!! Thanks Pete.
Your own personal Red Tractor Parade. You are a lucky man Pete! And loved the Turkey-lapse. :)
Oh what a wonderful treat that was, watching the turkeys go to bed! lol I enjoyed that so much. Watched it twice. Please do that again. :)))) Thank you, Pete
I think you and your wife do a great job and a farm is a work In progress it for you to enjoy keep up the great work looking forward to more great videos God Bless
I love the turkeys getting ready for bed routine
Them little piggies ain't quite so shy now, nor so little! In regards the driveway, it it's good enough for you, it's perfect.
NIce shot on the turkeys going to bed.
I liked when the video started,and you heard many types of birds,the cattle,a rooster crowing ,etc,took me right back to the farm growing up
Great video. Loved to see your pigs coming for their food and each getting a pat on the back. Seems like yesterday they were really skittish around you. That Pete is why your husbandry skills are first class. Animals know instinctively when to trust a human. Always enjoyed brain and behaviour psychology when training as a medic/biologist 50 years back; still do and have a wild male crow who never flinches near me.

God bless and thank you for so many inspiring videos, best from the UK.
Glad you are getting to the end of the build and able to use the areas in the way you want. Loved watching the turkeys. Thank you.
So happy you ‘soaked everything’, safety first.
That barn full of Farmall red is great !!!
My G-daughter (4) came out to join me while the turkeys were roosting. She squealed with delight.

Those are some nice-looking
turkeys. Good night. 😴
Kinda cool showing the turkeys bedding down.
Love the extra stare at the Trolls

Pete, for all the time I've been watching you, you have come on heeps and bounds. Something to admired, of course that's includes your wife. Behind every good man there's a great Wife 😊❤
Thx Pete 4 the turkey section. Barns are gonna be awesome for this winter. All that hard work will pay off when the white stuff covers the ground.👍
Good day all. Nice work, peace.
So fun to see the turkeys get ready for bed.
Thanks, Pete. Your videos are an integral part of the daily routine and frankly, necessary to maintain my sanity. RED POWER!!!
