[@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.

[@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 ❤❤❤.

[@FRRitter]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@mikecrockett3669]

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

[@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

[@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! 🫶

[@richardplukas4787]

Very much enjoy watching your operation. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacknaylor94]

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

[@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

[@GoldenPotatoFarms]

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

[@TimothyAmiot-zr8ec]

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

[@chuckyc6912]

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

[@davidcoe5656]

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

[@stevecollins1196]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@geebopbaluba1591]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@AlanKing-c2p]

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

[@chevyguy6510]

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

[@tdmills1766]

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

[@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.

[@patrickgroves4047]

O beautiful farm gal, love your farming videos. Very informative to see how our food we love to eat is grown and processed. Great job!

[@jasonbrown2060]

You royal douche bag, she’s married.

[@johnmcmccormack9203]

Thanks for sharing Kylie, I have missed your posts. Hope everything is going well for you and yours.

[@Incaensio]

You're killing it. Very impressive!

[@melbytvenge]

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

[@jocalafarms4051]

The most anticipated video of the year

[@BellsFarming]

Awesome! I hope you liked it!

[@federalist46]

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.

[@DR-vr1xl]

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

[@rickpullins8590]

Great video guys keep them coming.

[@kennyrichard2971]

Another great video guys love seeing how farming life is like

[@rogerhiggins3190]

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

[@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.

[@charliethomas2798]

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

[@georgecrinnion2131]

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

[@davidconaway2830]

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

[@dgreene3467]

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

[@russhfan]

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

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you very much!

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for another great video!🐾🥔

[@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...

[@rainman7992]

the drone footage during harvesting, was so cool, now I know why Japanese have them sand gardens

[@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.

[@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. I so identify with your well-shown urgency, pleasure and satisfaction with the seasonal go-go. Stay awesome ;)

Another awesome Video Molly

[@mikeburton7077]

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

[@rsonweb2060]

Those are some beautiful potatoes. I wish our garden had spuds that nice. Bells Farm must be a valuable source of jobs for the local economy.

[@raykrv6a]

I wish I could find those potatoes in my area. Those looked great.

[@billsudekum2759]

Wow! That is a lot of potatoes! Best of luck for this year's harvest.

[@willyphast2509]

ya doin fine in that truck. the more your in that seat the better you will get to master that trans. tappin the excelerator before downshift makes for good syncronizing of gears. you already got her mastered. work that trans grandpa used to say. agreat harvest you two, good luck,,

[@DanPurdy1]

Now, I can see why you plant then in rolls of hills. The potatoes you harvest per acre has got to be amazing. Industrial farming.30 trunks 8is a whole lot of potatoes for one day.

[@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

[@jamescotie7535]

Awesome camera and drone work, truck driver potato wedge installer...LOL You are a very talented multitasker! that job is hard on shirts! LOL Great job Molly!

[@Subnortherner]

That's a lotta french fries!! Very engrossing to watch the process. Makes me wish I could get out and drive a truck or harvester for you! Takes me back. Well done video!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Love the pink top.

[@Incaensio]

Look at all those beautiful potatoes 🥔🥔

Thank you for sharing ❤❤

[@davepatti2296]

I've said it before, it's amazing what goes into growing and processing potatoes.

[@artymorrison7045]

Hello from Oregon. This has to be one of my favorite vids to date! I enjoy watching the equipment working and how it all comes together! Thank you, as always, for sharing! Stay safe!!

[@kurtforster8136]

Another Great video 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@BernadetteVallee]

Looks like a haunted house that Shane was running through..I love too hear your laugh it’s so cute. The assorted color of the trucks is brilliant…Excellent day for you that’s good …

[@conniejohnson3110]

Amazing! Love your videos.

[@matthewrenshaw]

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

[@StuartCaseley]

Love the drone shots. Peaceful with the music. Anyone else notice the back end of the potato box on the yellow truck? Looks like another truck driving in😉😀😁.

[@paullhommedieu2795]

Looking good! So great to have no stones!

[@daleberghorn6504]

Wow you guys grow alot of potatoes and the land looks awesome Molly your doing fine driving that truck i have some knowledge of that potato drying barn was on a job site in my area watching it being built all there potatoes went for potato chips as always love your channel ❤

[@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!

[@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

[@_Merica_USA]

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

[@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.

[@stephenmkollarjr1630]

Molly and Shane that's a lot of spud pancakes lol, do hope the blue truck is not broke down for you , enjoyed traveling with you you all be safe and well until the next one Happy Trails to you and shane and all later...

[@Jim_CSI]

Hi BESSIE!! We all know who runs this operation huh, Bessie? lol Molly, Molly, Molly. You NEVER ask how something is working. Murphy's Law! lol Thank you for posting, great job all.

[@whistled46]

good job Molly and Sean!

[@Dinoxt12]

Girl, after awhile you need to learn how to float shift without using the clutch once you get moving. Makes for a much more easy day of driving. Your farm boss Bessie, sure is a good supervisor of everything that goes on. lol

[@AntRielly]

Wow look at all those potato chips lol😉 Doing good shifting the Sterling Miss Molly. 👌

[@edwardmarino2776]

Molly your laugh is infectious! 😂 Something I just realized if you need to find Shane…just look for Bessy! You know he’s somewhere close by!
