Just a Few Acres Farm
United States
Приєднався 15 сер 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.

You should come to Swayze days in Swayze Indiana.
Go Red!! Hope,Pete, you had a great Father’s Day .
Glad you had a great time. Thanks for filming it.
Pete, The red tool that you picked up in the exhibit hall that had the slots is a tool used to assemble and disassemble chains, the style of chain like you have in the bottom of your manure spreader. You would slide a link into one of the slots, kink the chain and use a hammer to drive the links apart.
Hi Pete, I want to Thank You Everything that you put on this channel. Thank You for inspiring me to start on my 560 again....its been a long time. ❤
❤ tracker show
hope you had a good day!
That baler press thing looks extremely dangerous! Not OSHA for sure.
Thanks for the show. Love It.
Thanks Pete!
Thanks for the updates on all the projects! Busy times!!!
Pete alot of us aren't able to go to these shows, thank you for letting us come with you.
You’re welcome Terri.
Paint, spoke to you at the show on Friday. That big black tulle you're looking at there is a chain breaker for breaking panel type chain on the North spreaders and the like. Listen your idlers slide the chain into the slot you need roll it up and then you can drive the other side out
Happy Father’s Day Pete
Grass is green, tractors are red 😅
We just moved a international skid steer it’s the same one
Happy Father’s Day
Thanks Pete for taking us along with you at the tractor show good too see some great tractors , red off cose
Thanks Pete! So many memories for me being an ex- Inter parts guy who worked for a couple of dealers here in Oz. (1 being in the hills as mainly market gardeners & the other out in the country for more larger farms) We sold Inter Trucks & I resorted a few including Scouts for one of my bosses too! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Great show Pete and thank you for taking us along.
Very educational. And those kids are all adorable. Makes me miss the country.
I watch MF, and he is into modern green things. Refreshing to see old ones.
I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, NY and remember Chisholm-Ryder. Along with that bean harvester they also manufactured grape harvesters along with other combine harvesters. Thanks, Pete, for bringing back an old memory.
Interesting to see the original and restored vintage IH tractors. Lots of TLC went into these. The red cast slotted tool was a chain breaker for link type chain. Guess I'm giving my age away as many of the letter series tractors were common during my younger days. Never too old to learn more about old IH iron!!!
Pete this was really great never been to anything like this show before I really enjoyed the tractor parade the hay bailing all of it was just great Thanks for sharing it. Hope you have a very blessed week.
I really like your show...😍😍😍
Farmall 756 is old but works well 🥰🥰🥰
Great video. You sure know your stuff. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed looking at all the red. Love seeing all the old tractors and equipment.
This was so unbelievably helpful. We're starting a small farm just a couple of miles from you, and I've had so many questions about all of this.
Super💯video
Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri
it's interesting to hear how the three hour drive is close. Our country is so small that it takes four hours to drive from one end to the other and back. And everyone thinks it's too long a drive.
Pete, Happy Father's Day! I knew nothing about tractor and mechanics until I started watching your videos. Was in Costco's fuel line where a lane over from me was an over-all clothed gentleman pulling his trailer with tractor, so I approached and asked what year his tractor... can't remember anymore, but was he impressed I asked about his tractor. He appeared to be an ole local farm family decendent. Can kick myself for not asking about how he got into farming and to see if what I thought was true. Anyways, I mentioned Farmall and a few models- he asked how I know about tractors; I answered don't but learning through Pete's channel- JaFAF. Thank you for introducing me to farming and tractors.
I really enjoyed this video.
Thank you Pete for taking us along. Everything is big in the USA….😅🤭🤭💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻in my neighborhood here in Germany we have around 30-50 tractors and a beer stand… Hahahahahahah Happy Father’s Day Christoph
Hey guys I'm Nathan Wines, I'm from davenport Washington I'm gonna be graduating next spring. I'm currently starting into a 1948 or 49 farmall H as my senior project gonna be a project.
Thanks for taking us with you Pete
Bummer, I was there and had no idea that you were.
Hi Pete!!! I love your ball cap!!! I really want one. Where can I purchase it?
When you worked as an engineer where you interested in farm equipment and tractors then? You have an extensive knowledge of farm equipment and tractors that couldn't have started when you started farming. I've learned a lot watching your videos when you go to these events👍🏾
Hi pete my friend and i were at the Red Power Show. But i guess we missed you. It was neat to see we almost crossed paths
Thankyou Pete. That was just awesome.
Great video as always Pete , on our farm we have two farmall tractors ,one is an AWD9 and a 706 with wheatland fenders both tractors were built here in australia
Flat chain breaker tool red handle thing
Nice 😊 🤠👌👌💯🤙💪👍
Happy Father’s Day Pete, thanks for a great video and for taking us with you to the power show
I heard a rumor that you had been talked into a ride on the barrel train! Glad that clip made it in the video! Tim did a nice job with it.
Unfortunate I missed you there. Watch all your videos.
I love this channel so much.
