As someone whos spent the last 17 years in the Concrete and Asphalt worlds I long to become a first generation farmer. Making active steps towards that goal everyday but it always seems just out of reach. Thank you for your videos, they are an inspiration and a great resource for someone like me.

I was in the Army for 12 years and have been a mechanic, manufacturing and retail in management positions. I keep dreaming about having my own small farm once kids are adults. Thanks for the video!

I just ran across your videos today. I grew up farming, Grandfather had 180 acres, and couple cows, My Father had almost 3, 000 acres, 150-200 head of cattle, farrowed and finished pigs so around 1200 head sometimes more. It was a lot of work. Grandpa passed away, And dad retired .
I bought 20 acres and slowly getting back into farming over the last 6 years. It's a great life and would never give that up.
And no I did not inherit anything from my family. Started a construction company and retired from that.
Your videos are full of info to help people understand what it takes or what to expect beforehand.
Great job !

I’m going to buy your book to read in my spare time and to help you out anyway I can, part of your success on YouTube is quite simply, you. You have an endearing nature and honesty is that is rare these days. Thanks for all your hard work!!

Pete - I just ordered your book. I am really looking forward to reading it. I don't know that I want to become a farmer, but man do I need something new. Work for me is just a chore and and doesn't bring any real joy. I am 50 years old and getting awfully tired of it!

I was planning on buying some land and starting a cattle business right off the bat but I was hesitant because I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. I'm not in it for the money, I just enjoy that lifestyle. Right after you said to start small and then grow your farm, it gave me peace of mind and more confidence to go for it. Subscribed. Thank you

I work a 12hr shifts, and only scheduled for half the yr. I make about 70-75k a yr, i am not happy, with my career/work life...

I’ve always loved being outside and love animals especially farm animals. I love working with my hands

Man, the more videos I watch of you, the more I love you - thanks for the excellent content!

[dwaynekoblitz]

I’ve watched so many of your videos that I just realized, after watching this one, that you’re clean shaven in all of your videos. You go Pete! That’s the architect in you. Or the marketer? You suave Pete. I’m so sorry that folks choose to dislike these splendid videos. You rock Pete.

Love how candid this video is. Great info!!! Thank you for the honest content. We bought raw land in the southwestern tier of NY & are getting ready to embark on our farming expedition, at age 45

[johnkunce]

Crazy how my dream is to be an architect and livestock farmer, too!

[michael]

I love your life Pete, it seems like years ago that I subscribed to your channel but I really am a new follower watching a video or two everyday since I’ve been social distancing. You are a very good and honest teacher, I really appreciate your hard honest work. I wish I lived closer to you so I could be one of your customers. Stay safe and God bless you and your family and farm!

[johneverett]

Great videos Pete love all you do about your farm. My wife is from Dansville N.Y. I'm a Tennessee native and we live about 35miles east of Nashville. You are the kind of person I would hang around with. Take care and get that MD running soon .

[JacksBees]

Hi Pete, thanks for the video, please keep them coming! I'm not ready financially to get started, but it's been a dream of mine since I was a little kid, and I've been making financial preparations ever since. It will take time, but we will get there.
