Just a Few Acres Farm

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.

Video Description
In this video, the second in our hay making series, I cover the basics of raking and tedding hay. I talk about the best times in the drying process to do each and the different types of rakes and tedders, along with their advantages and disadvantages. We go out to the fields to ted hay with a Farmall 504 tractor and a 2 star tedder, and rake hay with an International 656 tractor and a New Holland 258 hay rake. I also show you a pattern for raking I developed which results in straight windrows that are easy to bale. website: http://justafewacres.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Just-a-few-acres-farm-187074114794963/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justafewacresfarm/?hl=en email: [email protected] To order Pete's book; "A Year and a Day on Just a Few Acres:" https://www.amazon.com/Year-Day-Just-Few-Acres/dp/149549957X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NM8AQPCG3IT5&dchild=1&keywords=a+year+and+a+day+on+just+a+few+acres&qid=1587327049&sprefix=a+year+and+a+day+on+just%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1
