Just a Few Acres Farm
United States
Registrace 15. 08. 2019
Our videos focus on small farm life, and are targeted toward people interested in understanding more about small farming, sustainable farming methods, or who wish to vicariously live the farm life!
Just a Few Acres is a 45 acre seventh generation family farm in Lansing, NY, in operation since 1804. We are a diversified livestock farm, providing high quality, healthy meats directly to consumers in our community. All our livestock is grown using a grass-based diet, and we focus on a low-stress life for our animals. We operate our farm using sustainable practices, building healthier soil every year through innovative grazing methods. We believe a small family farm can still be a viable business in today’s “bigger is better” world, and that small farms supplying locally grown food to their communities can create a more resilient, healthy, and meaningful agricultural system.

I am now 76, I remember sq bailing in early 20s. The one legged owner could work me into the ground. was not fun, but he could cook good pork steaks.
Sad to see Pete's Tire and Auto Service is now closed
Pete cool and collective thanks bumper music👍
Love your videos and Hilary working with you. Sweet couple.
Thank you again. I’ve learned so much from an excellent teacher, and an all around great guy.
That was one Hayul of a good video. Fun to watch, seriously.
Watching you and Hilarie always reminds me of summers from age 12 to mid twenties, helping my uncle and cousins on the family farm in Ohio, and in high school working for a custom baler in Texas. Loads of fun and hard work for a young man. Thanks, Pete and Hilarie!
Love this one…thanks for taking the time for all the camera angles, Pete! (Keep that hat on 😊… ☀️ ☠️)
That old GEHL is a dinosaur compared to balers today but that old girl still gets the job done like it’s almost new! Thanks Pete great video as always!
I thought this was a great video. I love making hay.the tractors sound great. Glad everything went well. Have a great day and I'll see you later.
Looking at the round ends always reminds me of eating Shredded Wheat for breakfast when I was a kid...
Pete. I know you have a liking for corny jokes. "What did St. Patrick say when he was driving the snakes out of Ireland?" .... "Are you alright in the back?"
This is a wonderful video. Camera placements produced fascinating views. Thank you. I'm sure making this video was a time consuming task. It was certainly appreciated.
Thanks for the memories. I can remember back in my very young days I was about 12 on a small 4 cylinder Case tractor with a side rake like yours. My Grandfather turned me loose and that was a great life learning at that age but where I was and the time zone only small squares bails Thanks Pete and Hillary for the memoirs.
Pete, up front it has been said that behind every successful farmer is a wife who works in town, I say that behind every successful farmer is a wife on her knees interseeding on our behalf before our Heavenly Father. Enjoy when Hillary is in the videos. Question for you,do you find the outer windows to be less than,equal to, on better than inner windrows? N
I'm a green tractor kind of guy, but that's a sweet super c!
What year is the rake??????????????????????????
Watching you rake hay is super relaxing, I enjoyed your explanation of how and why you do it your way. Thanks for a great video
Pete that 756 sounds so nice when bailing
A job well done . Keep it up .
Excellent camera footage, explanations of everything you were doing and the drone shots. My anticipation in waiting for hay time was well worth it. Thank you and God bless. ❤️
Howw do you know when the bailer is full?
Nice hay! Is this early for you to cut and bale hay? Our fields in northern Michigan are growing nice this year but won’t be cutting most till the end of June and first part of July. Good job and thanks!
Most of the hay for the coming winter already accounted for... and on only the first cutting.... NICE !!!!
So when does hay get teddered? Did you already do that on this hay?
Hey what is the name of this jazz song and ensemble? At the end.
Pete have to say that old Baylor sure does make a nice looking bale
I know that machines don’t have emotions, but that beautifully restored tractor sounds happy. Can you hear it? That is a happy tractor.
These are my favorite starting with this series last year. I'm probably the only NY cake decorator who knows how hay is made and bailed.
definitely a good day when hay is getting bailed for the winter
They both need a new paint job!!!!!!!
I don't know why but I love the hay making videos! I think I was a cow in another life. LOL! Dinner is served.
Awesome stuff Pete!!!
The super c looks and sounds great!
Pete, the sound of that super C is awesome. Oh how I wish I could make a few rounds for you. God Bless, Daryl
That Tractor looks beautiful.... nice job on the restoration.
That was very relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Nice bales Pete!! My dad would have approved to not having any ice cream cones..
I e never baked round bales, but not much smells better than fresh cut and baked hay. Also never seen the process inside a round baler, thanks for that view.
Great video Pete! I like watching you make hay likely as much as you look like you enjoy making it. It's great looking hay. We used a rake one summer it was like 4 or 5 big round fan things that were angled to make the windrow. It was fun for a teen boy. Mine definitely wasn't as neat as yours Pete. Lol
Ha ha ha ha 🤣🤣
Your bales so shiny
good looking hay, thank you Pete
What are the advantages or disadvantages of the dolly wheels on the rake? Anybody?
Your bales so shiny
Back in the mid 80's, while laid off from a factory job, I worked for a guy that did some custom baling. He had a 4250 power shift John Deere, that made it nice for stopping and tying the bale. No clutch ever needed. He also had a New Holland baler with a monitor, that told you when to weave and when to stop to tie. Easiest baling I ever did. It beat the heck out of putting up 12 or 1500 small square bales in a long days work!
I like your how you rake every body does things differently
How very satisfying!
didn't do any of the work, but I feel very satisfied by the end of the video :)
Awesome job
