Molly is awesome ! So great to see her handle all the various jobs on the farm.

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you!

[@lylesommers5018]

Molly is so hardworking, I just love women who aren’t afraid of a hard days work. Molly is definitely my kind of girl, and it doesn’t hurt that she’s easy on the eyes. So much Respect to this young Lady

[@CecilTreadwell]

Shane is quiet and super efficient. It is great to sometimes see him for more than a mere instant, to hear him speak, and to see his great smile.

[@johncloutier623]

You have a great sense of humor and that is the key in life

[@everettdegrasse8478]

Great job with the camera work!

[@keithworker8556]

What a process,expensive overhead with equipment,buildings ,maintenance ,labour etc for us to buy potatoes at such a great price . Thanks for the insight and hard work .

[@MichaelSuire]

Just watched the drone footage! It’s amazing how many potatoes are going into the truck! Not that I haven’t seen this before. Just brings me back to the one time my parents took us kids out to the field to use baskets and barrels like the ole days. The taters were clean then…. You didn’t make any money picking rocks in with the taters ! Have you or Shane ever done it ole school? I bet you both have!

[@brianthompson3060]

Molly you are a stunning beauty and an incredible person, thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@jasonbrown2060]

She’s married you immature douche canoe

[@jocalafarms4051]

The most anticipated video of the year

[@BellsFarming]

Awesome! I hope you liked it!

[@mikecrockett3669]

So much effort must go into these videos…..so appreciated.

[@davidconaway2830]

A well oiled team doing great work to feed us all!

[@johnmedici6655]

I can't believe it's harvest time already! I love the process of potatoes because you and your crew really bust your asses off! And as far as shifting is concerned, practice makes perfect, that's how you get to be a pro!

[@g-dawg79]

Gotta say, your editing skills matching clips to music is fantastic. Keep up the good work

[@danielsiemens7489]

I drove potato truck for 10 years here in Manitoba. These videos bring back good memories.

[@BellsFarming]

@@danielsiemens7489 oh good! Thank you!

[@stevecollins1196]

I really love seeing this process y'all are some of the hardest working people much love and respect thanks for sharing❤❤❤

[@shopart1488]

Music is at PERFECT VOLUME most KZbinrs can’t do editing like you do great job MOLLY.

[@qcmark]

Molly, I like the fact that you let us see both the things you are great at and the things you are still learning. You do it with laughter and grace, which is more than I can say for myself. When I learned to drive a semi the words I came up with would violate You Tube’s standards for decency.🤣

[@BellsFarming]

Hahaha I do really try to show my learning. I will get criticized a lot on how bad I drive, but everyone starts somewhere. At least I’m learning. Thank you for appreciating that! 🫶

[@georgecrinnion2131]

Bessie is adorable because she knows she is part of the process.

[@bzh0164]

Greetings from France!

[@ajknaup3530]

Bon jour!

[@russhfan]

Any success you get from KZbin is richly deserved. Your videos are incredible.

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you very much!

[@Incaensio]

You're killing it. Very impressive!

[@stevenleeper8495]

What a great operation! Thanks for taking the time to video.

[@HeinzSmith-zx5ku]

WOW!! Great work! I love it you do everything on the farm!! Driving the truck is very cool!!

[@thomasr.miller5553]

😁 🥰Having a fun day on the farm with Molly is a great joy to me. Shifting ?🤔 One potato two potato Shift . fantastic video 💗 thanks

[@stevenjp7155]

I had to chuckle as I learned to drive on the farm too. I will never forget what another truck driver told me when I was speed shifting and grinding gears. “It ain’t your pecker boy! Slowly pull it out of one gear, and slowly push it up into the next!” Your doing great, love your stuff!

[@BellsFarming]

Hahahah thank you for the story! Second day was much better!

[@rickpullins8590]

Great video guys keep them coming.

[@AlanKing-c2p]

This Nebraska farmer finds this kind of harvest very interesting, in a positive way!

[@dalecharlick]

Just started watching your channel. I grew up on a small farm in Michigan in the 50's and we raised potatoes to sell at the farmer's market on Saturday in Detroit. We sold 50 lbs for $1.25 and they I would carry the bag to there car. I was 10 years old. And we hired people to pick them up for .10 cent a bushel, we had a 2 row digger.

[@BellsFarming]

Very cool! Thank you for sharing! Boy the prices have gotten a lot better since then :)

[@TimothyAmiot-zr8ec]

It’s the only way to learn… you’re doing great driving.. love the content and the farm!!

[@chevyguy6510]

Farmers the "Backbone of America". I miss the times on my grandparents dairy farm. Thanks for taking us along.

[@gardnep]

Great video, Molly and Shane, great drone footage of digging and loading with the two row. Only a thousand more tons to go. Thank for the video.

[@FRRitter]

Thanks for including us Molly, on such a busy day... wishing you and your crew a safe harvest!

[@artvelcro]

Gosh Dang....I love this channel.

[@TomSarelas]

'SPUDNIK' - love the space race name. Good morning & thank you. God bless you & God bless America. TFS

[@geebopbaluba1591]

Wow looking at those fields y’all have a hell of a lot of potatoes to store and then bag!!

[@ericorff9994]

Loved the smell of the freshly dug earth as the potato digger went by within arm's reach as you pick his last dig.

[@charliethomas2798]

U married into a good family 😊lots of fun to watch from South Carolina

[@Aviator1047]

Good morning, Molly! Great video...thanks for taking us along!! 🥰

[@bradleymcclintock7771]

Wow I could watch harvest all day long there's only one thing that could be better and that's to be there helping. I wish I lived closer I'm retired and I would help you for free. Thank you Molly and Shane for sharing this video love watching and love you guys you all are the best ❤❤❤.

[@GoldenPotatoFarms]

I’m very impressed with the advanced machinery you showcase; it truly optimizes the farming process!

[@rogerhiggins3190]

We met you a week ago, your potatoes make awesome mashed and scalloped patatos. It was nice to meet you.

[@davidcoe5656]

You have such a sweet charismatic personality! Who else could make farming so much fun and interesting!!

[@rinkdijkstra9513]

Nice video! We just finished our 450 acre potato harvest last friday in the Netherlands. Last year it was on 18 december because off the heavy rains. Now starting with the 180 acre off carrots.

[@markdav61]

My paw paw grew potatoes in east Texas along time ago. Stored them in the sandy soil under the house. Im gonna go watch the movie The Martian again. Potato's saved the day there. Thank you to farmers of the USA.

[@richardplukas4787]

Very much enjoy watching your operation. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnnyyarbrough9716]

Good job super trucker !,,

[@JohnMcKay-p1f]

Hi, how many tons are you lifting in a typical day?

[@eljefe414]

All I can think of is making mashed potatoes for thanksgiving yum yum. Thank God for farmers like you for all the hard work to bring food to our tables.

[@DR-vr1xl]

Considering how busy you are around the place, you sure make good videos.

[@jacknaylor94]

You have very interesting videos. I enjoy learning about the potato farming and also the sweetcorn operation. Keep up the good work.

[@mikeymad]

Tater time! Great update video. I really appreciated the in bed view for the truck during loading. And it is a little astonishing how many conveyor belts all have to work to get from the ground to the pile. -cheers

[@jackrolfson312]

I did not realize all the preparation and things you had to do to store potatoes. But it makes sense. From harvesting preparation, all things ran Like a well oiled a machine, no pun intended. I love watching your videos. They are very informative and interesting. Thank you for taking the time to bring this along.

[@NeilMaclachlan]

Its great to see how potato harvesting is done big style...Thank you for sharing Molly...stay safe and see you soon

[@Don_ECHOguy]

It's spud day and I was waiting for this day. Thank you Molly for showing us the in's and out's of your potato harvest. . . . . keep your heads on swivel and be safe out there.

[@jipm]

Another awesome Video Molly

[@KevinPlemons64]

I've got the blue Shane T-shirt and since the weather is starting to cool down looks like i need the hoodie too. Thanks for another great video.

[@BellsFarming]

Hey Kevin! Thank you!

[@tdmills1766]

The drone footage is awesome. I know that’s a lot of work to create. Thanks for giving us that perspective.

[@kennyrichard2971]

Another great video guys love seeing how farming life is like

[@rickrick7309]

Nice job Molly

[@Jim_CSI]

Molly & Shane, thank you for taking us along for the ride. I enjoy seeing what actually goes on behind the scenes. A lot of hard work on keeping everything running. Deep down, I bet you kids wouldn't have it any other way. Keep up the videos please. And stay safe!

[@Incaensio]

Look at all those beautiful potatoes 🥔🥔

[@kurtforster8136]

Another Great video 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Love the pink top.

good job Molly and Sean!

[@IdahoPohTaToh]

In SW Idaho Potato, Onions, and Sugar Beets are in full harvest right now. Sweet Corn is over(got my last fresh corn a couple days ago) and Seed Corn harvest is beginning. It's such an amazing sight to see. Roads full of farm equipment and trucks full of produce. I love watching your videos and seeing the inner workings of your farm.

[@raten2791]

Thanks I was wondering about when onion harvesting begins.

[@thomasrogers4201]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your work days with us.

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you Thomas!

[@Blackxs93]

I find it interesting on how potatoes are picked and stored

[@GregWeepie]

Good video of what’s happening, sen a lot of spud operations driving though th Golden Sands area of Wisconsin & NW Minnesota in a truck but was never close enough to really know what was happening!! Great job driving Molly, it all takes time & PRACTICE!!

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you so much Greg!!!

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for another great video!🐾🥔

[@Jonathan-hx6oy]

You're doing good for a learning manual driver. Don't force towards gear, just hold slight pressure when it's ready it'll fall into gear. Same for down shift, bump throttle, gentle pressure it'll fall in when it's ready.

[@PeteThecurious100]

Great camera/editing work. The right panning for informative interest. The business looks very professional, and the capital involved wow. I hope you get a reasonable margin.

My name is Peter Cameron, a retired farmer living on the family farm at the bottom of the south island of New Zealand with a life experience in farming sheep cattle and grain cropping.

Thanks Molly for the seasons first spud spectacular and schooling us on proper potato pilling thus avoiding a tuber tsunami. Still loving the bumper music.

You two are AWSOME folks. Am happy you are taking us along for the ride Lots of hard work. Be safe

[@charlieslorenson1861]

Good morning from Kodiak Island Alaska my wife is from Maine and we travel around spray the inside of these potato sheds I even went to India and did one taught them how to spray that was challenging in March of 2020 but my comment is whoever is running the elevator and stacking the tubers does a really good job because I don't see any dings inside your sheds in the spray foam kudos to whoever is running the stacker most of the time they're doing a really good job and actually the material looks like whoever sprayed it really knows what they're doing I've been doing this stuff since 1989

[@shanebell9589]

There’s a few dings in the foam, but I try to keep it to a minimum

[@dgreene3467]

So cool how that machine pulls up the potatoes and lays them in that one row!

[@paullhommedieu2795]

Looking good! So great to have no stones!

[@garyfrederick7607]

wow french fries forever hahahahaha awesome video thanks Molly.

[@jondarrah6829]

Molly your doing great pretty soon you won't even use the clutch to shift you will just match your RPMs and make the shift slicky slicky. Then they will move you to a different truck and you will learn all over again how that truck likes to be shifted. You guys keep up the great work.

[@j.w.7688]

Molly is every REAL man's Dream-Girl 😊❤. Lovely...

[@melbytvenge]

So thats how potatoes are planted. I learn something new every day

[@pdoherty]

You're a real diamond in the rough Molly! Doing just fine driving the stick shift and everything else you do. Looks like a good harvest underway. Take care and give Bessie a pet.

[@120Workshop-George56]

Awesome, thanks for helping feed America

[@angelahorne867]

Thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@1striperon]

Harvesting potatoes is quite magical to me. The "fruit" is hidden until dug, then to see the potatoes, mature and beautiful, going on the truck and into storage. Thinking about all the ways they will be eaten, baked, roasted, fried, boiled, then perhaps mashed. One of the most versatile and good tasting crops in all of agriculture. Thank you for sharing, Molly and Shane.

[@mikeburton7077]

That's a lot of potatoes! Enjoying your hard work, best from the UK

[@mraetnts]

Cool video Molly. Nice change from all the corn and soybean videos

[@jamesharrell8580]

Molly, you gotta' lot going on right now, it's great to see the "food chain" is still working... As usual, I "liked" this video, and enjoyed watching all your truck driving "prowess". Wow, that's a lot of "taters"! I'm empressed and await anxiously for the next installment. Best wishes and be careful...

[@nixer8984]

Subbed. Thank you for feeding America. Amazing skills and experience.

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you very much!

[@johnchristensen-jo1tf]

great videos every child should see this so they realize it's not a food fairy that comes to store every night .as to your driving you will learn I always did the if you can't find it grind it system cheers
