Harvesting Our New Variety

[@corncobhill2442]

Aerial view of the potato fields was very pleasing !!! GH in MO

[@BellsFarming]

I love the drone shots!

[@CecilTreadwell]

All of your videos are great. This one is extra good because of the drone shots. You can see everything going on from above and to the side. Perfectly done.

[@dennislaughton1676]

I am new to your channel. I grew up on a fruit and veg. farm in southern Ontario. I worked in various aspects of ag research and development mostly in Western Canada. You talked about small potatoes, a company in Edmonton Alberta successfully developed a market for small potatoes marketing them in 2 lb bags. Their main product is a small yellow potato. I am 81 and retired, your videos keep me connected to the farm.

[@ronnsmike]

Here I am sitting behind my computer in Sweden looking at someone harvesting potatoes... Well, main reason is this is new to me, never before thinking on how it is done on a big scale. Second is Molly, a beautiful woman an even more a beautiful personality with a lot of humor and compassion of her daily work.

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you very much!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Your channel.is doing great. Congrats on 50k.that

[@BellsFarming]

@@beckyumphrey2626 thank you so much Becky!

[@kurtkrim7378]

I am new to your channel and I love it. I grew up on a small family farm in the 70's. So much and changed in farming. But yet the Family Farm is still alive, thank you for filling our stores with great product. New Fan.

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you very much and welcome!! I’m so glad that there are still family farms being passed down. Thanks for commenting.

[@1stcontact590]

Had a chance to read your families Bio . Its always heartwarming when you see generational families with good roots in the land. My family is up to its 5th generation in Minnesota. We started out in farming and today just gardeners. Love the video's and learn a lot . Thank you

[@dennismahonchak3228]

All my life when I thought about potatoes I would think of Idaho. I'm a retired truck driver out of New Jersey and the last company I drove for I would spend my Wednesday, Thursday and Friday making deliveries from Seabrook, NH to Ellsworth, ME. Until I started driving up there I had no idea of all the potato production. I've been enjoying your videos for the past few months. A new subscriber.

[@thomasdragosr.841]

Long Island was once a big potato producer, it may still be.

[@arthurs5704]

Great drone shot of the Spudnick in action. You can clearly see how the harvester works. Don't know how you would be able to harvest all those potatoes without it. Fascinating machine. Molly you are no dummy. I give you a lot of credit learning how to drive the red truck. Love Bessy. Does she roam free all day and follow you guys around. Lol

[@shanebell9589]

Bessy is quite something haha. 99% of the time she free roams/ follows us around. I do leave her at home occasionally if we’re moving a lot of equipment down the road for the day or something, she doesn’t like those days .

[@gardnep]

Digging 4 rows takes a lot of horsepower. Great video, thanks.

[@kcolombo49]

This video was transcendental. Love the choice of background music over the drone harvesting shots. Seeing the process from the air clears up some things for me and puts everything into perspective. 👍

[@michael_3985]

Great video shots. Amazing and beautiful. 👍👍👍

[@mlj6419]

Good morning Molly, another great video of variety. Thanks. I'm enjoying watching the harvest and storage.

[@120Workshop-George56]

Love it, it breaks you fix it and move on . Go Bessie

[@funkslawncareservice]

It's great to watch your team work together to grow the food that consumers enjoy

[@c.v.7950]

All the guys are workin' hard,.... except Shane - he is playing with the remote control all day long haha ;) Nice drone-views by the way, that river is amazing, so huuuuge....

[@SuburbanDon]

When i first found this channel i wasnt sure it would be interesting enough. But is has turned out to be so. Good videos.

[@DanPurdy1]

I find all of the conveyers that you use to harvest and store the potatoes fascinating. Of course, they make it possible to grow and harvest a huge amount of potatoes. Infinitely better than a potato fork and a big old wooden 55 gallon barrel.

[@peterasacker5948]

Love those Golden Globes....

[@jburch1544]

Love potatoes, so many ways to fix them to eat. Thanks for your work growing and harvesting them!

[@timber240]

The drone gives a great perspective

[@ericroadking7564]

Good job guys!!

[@KevinPlemons64]

I'll be on the lookout for some locally grown (East Tennessee) Constance potatoes. Never had them before, but a quick internet search says they have a buttery flavor and are a versatile potato variety. Great content as always. 😁

[@hmr171]

First time viewer as your video just recently showed up in my feed. Took me a bit to realize that I have driven by your fields hundreds of times on my way through Auburn. I'm just a few miles away on River Road in Brunswick. I always notice the old truck parked by the road when I drive by.

[@shanebell9589]

That’s great, hope you Like the content and thanks for watching!

[@BellsFarming]

Oh that cool! Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. It’s always nice to know our neighbors are watching :)

[@jondarrah6829]

Shane and Molly you are so lucky to have great and experienced help who carry some tools in their tractor and can fix the machinery if something goes wrong. Lets hear it for the Spudnik operator he is a great man to have on the team.😊

[@shanebell9589]

Dave is my uncle, he’s an owner and runs the harvester

[@NeilMaclachlan]

Great video Molly.....potato time....seeing them getting harvested is something else....stay safe and see you soon

[@jamesharrell8580]

I "like" your videos, they are well done, show all the hard work involved, even the mundane, and make me want to go to the store and buy more potatoes. Thanks for the great insights and information I never considered previously. Best wishes for all you guys.

[@rayray8687]

Damn, I’d do love a good shot of lithium grease on my yellow potatoes!

[@brianwentworth3352]

Hello from Hampden. Always enjoy videos from the South.

[@markchiz64]

Hey there, Molly and Bell Farms. Your filming and farmlands are beautiful. We learn a lot about what goes into farming, and thank you for feeding us. Your enthusiasm and work ethics are refreshing. It is eye-opening to see the investment the business has in equipment and the time energy that goes into maintaining these farm implements. Please keep on doing what you do. Much appreciated!

[@LissanFarm]

The passion and commitment you have for this work are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@iguana9173]

Best video to start the morning with.

[@johnmedici6655]

I've never heard of so many different potatoes! Molly and Shane you put out so many good videos, I've learned alot from your channel, and your the only farmers that I know of that say they love each other! ❤

[@BellsFarming]

That’s wonderful! Thank you So much for watching and enjoying. We love each other very much! And love what we do together.

[@KenHackathorn-m2v]

Everybody be careful looks like you are having a very good harvest

[@danpags7023]

Good morning, and thank you for allowing us to hang out. 👍👍

[@justinbarker4603]

Your work ethic always impresses me!

[@william38022]

Here in the valley when I go to Walmart, the potatoes they have to choose from most of the time have a few in the bag that are starting to go rotten or actually are and and a lot of them have eyes growing on them,,,It’s hard to get good fresh potatoes around here anymore.

[@BellsFarming]

Yeah that is a shame. I think the produce departments should be paying better attention to what their shelves look like. Potatoes will turn green with the store overhead light too. Find you self a potato farm :) 🥔🥔

[@rjmjjmw]

Fascinating... Great video. I now have a much greater appreciation for the potatoes I buy... You pick one up and now realize how much effort, work, and technology is behind that one little potato. Would really like to see how they move from the mountains in the bins to the grocery wholesalers...

[@nol7034]

Thanks for the video. Good camera work.

[@davidlarson3920]

Ive enjoyed the adventure so far, thank you. Let me know if you could use a temporary driver next year.

[@BellsFarming]

We are always looking for potato truck driver for harvest! You better bug me in September :)

[@Yorkie285]

Another day, another harvest from the hardest working couple on KZbin.

[@John-jg5dh]

Goodmorning Molly! The best way to start my sunday morning watching a Bells Farm video and my coffee!👍

[@beebjnu3906]

I've done a lot of potato harvesting at young age, in Central Europe during USSR regime. We always made a huge bone fire from potato vines, threw potatoes in to the fire. It was good eating. In Alaska we call the yellow potatoes Yukon Gold. That's what they are. My favorite kind. They are meant to be cooked and eaten with the skins

[@DominicChristadore]

U just a great video love the way you’re so helpful. Your husband is so lucky to have a woman like you that doesn’t mind getting behind the wheel of a big truck and pretty nerve-racking. I’m sure keep up the good work girl watching you.

[@DanaDoesStuff]

Man, this was this first time where I could make a dumb comment about Molly‘s “headlights,” and not feel like a complete perv. 😂 Definitely feeling the autumn weather in this video! Reminded me of farming soybeans in the autumn with my uncles and grandpa.

[@gregr1672]

Excellent video from the hard working Bell's! What are the Constance potatoes? I figured y'all for Kennebec,Katahdin growers! I lost my entire planting of Kennebecs this year,never came up ! I usually get about 90% or better what I plant come up. Never had total blowout! I replanted a couple rows in late June and at least harvested some taters. I can not imagine how devastating a blight or rot would be for a farm . God Bless all our you farmers!

[@chuckyc6912]

Molly you make it look fun but we know it’s hard work. Very interesting always enjoy your videos. Safe harvest

[@ram_1776]

Great video, showing machine operations.

[@MicBruise]

Your videos are so calming. Odd, because you are all so busy and work long hours during harvest. It must be satisfying to watch the results of your months of discing, plowing, hilling, planting, fertilizing, watering, and harvesting go flowing down the conveyor belt and piling up in the storage bins. And then you have to turn around and start packing all those potatoes!

[@Jan-Boer]

Thanks

Back in the early 70s when I was still in high school I worked at a steakhouse in Arlington Tx and their baked potatoes were the biggest and best tasting potatoes I ever had even today and what we would do is brine the potatoes in a large vat and then start baking them a few hours before we opened for business and I remember those convection ovens and the smell of those potatoes even today.

[@petermullin5387]

Some days the trucks and traffic just fight you all day long. I spent all day Monday driving the struggle bus. Spent the day in an International HV Tri-axle that I haven’t driven much. Sight lines are different, handling and controls are not what I amused to and I struggled all day long. But, I got my loads in. Tuesday I was back in my usual truck (Freightliner 10-wheeler) and had a much better day basically driving the same route - in your neighborhood (sort of) Bowdoin - Yarmouth via Lisbon and Durham.
