  1. I have a 1949 picture of my Mother (who passed away in 1959) at the farm across the road from ours. It shows her trying to catch one of their piglets who had escaped from the pen. My mom is sort of in mid-air, executing what the farmer's wife called a flying tackle. It was successful, although she was was covered in mud for the effort! I haven't thought of it for years–but that's what your videos give to this elderly ex-farmhand. You push my nostalgia button every time! Thanks to you and yours, Jeff

  2. Where did you buy your cattle from? Obviously now you breed them but when you didn’t have any, where did you go to find good quality cattle? I am looking to start my own farm and have no farm experience

  3. I wish my only job in life was to eat 24/7 only…..I don’t want to get fat! I’m from Louisiana and we moved to suburban Atlanta GA which is still the south. The area where we were was a melting pot bc of the Delta airline pilots. But when I was in a crowd of people talking I was the one who stood out like a sore thumb bc of my “accent” they called it. It was a southern drawl without a doubt. People liked to hear me talk and I hated it! They also thought we had alligators in our back yard. Not in the northern part of the state. There was no restaurants that served a “po boy!” That saddened me! I could have made them and gotten rich! Lots of places back home sure did. If you like a roast beef, fried shrimp and catfish, chicken etc. sandwich served on a special French bread bun dressed with your fav condiments served with mostly chicken gravy and homemade French fries then you would love a “po boy!” Also gumbo and jambalaya. My neighbors loved me bc of my cooking. I happened to love one of my neighbors bc of his grilling expertise. We made a good pair and shared often. It was a fun time but bc of my husbands job we had to move AGAIN! This time it was back home and we were so happy. We did make some good friends that we still stay in touch with. I’m thankful for the experience. Now I don’t remember why I started this comment. Anyway, I love your channel. It’s kinda like an experience for me. I love your way of life probably bc I had so much fun as a child at my great grandparents farm. They were what you call fully sustainable. Cows, chickens, pigs, garden….the whole nine yards. We would help with the shelling of peas and beans and shucking the corn. We didn’t even know it was work! I did get my legs switched for chasing the chickens. Grandma said they wouldn’t lay if we upset them. I learned a valuable lesson. I was washing my feet and hands at the faucet and grandma slipped up behind me with that switch! Lol I just remember I couldn’t wait until the next time to visit them. They were hard working people.

  4. Always wanted to be a farm girl but alas was in the city-So Calif. Finally in my retirement made my escape to E. TN. have a small garden and I'm canning food, mostly proteins. Would love to have chickens but probably isn't practical for me. I love watching your videos. If I wasn't looking I would think I was listening to Jay Leno-almost.

  5. Agree re: round bales! They're great. Collect old (free) pallets for outdoor storage. Appreciate the way(s) you make every blade of grass "count." Thanks for filming and for your imaginative video'ing efforts. For example when camera was on the ground and your tractor tire (on one side) and manure spreader tire (on the other) narrowly "missed" mashin' your camera.

  6. I am making my way through your book. I read a chapter each night before bed. Loving it. My daughter and I have been gardening in my back yard for the last four or five years. We are wondering if we can come and pay a visit. And if yes when would be a good time? I have subscribed to your channel and regularly watch your videos. Thanks for sharing the every day experiences of your life on the farm.

  7. Here is something that shocked me. In the United States all the population live in the top 1% in the whole world. Shocked? Me too. I think kids need to learn and experience that. When we go on vacation makes us appreciate where we live more. Good talk Pete. Neal

  8. I sincerely, enjoy your videos. I try dozens of other farmers, and frankly, it creates anxiety while watching them unfold their work. I feel I am working the farm instead of enjoying learning. Your segments are relaxing, informative and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the next one.
