Thankyou for all the educational videos. I find the informative and educational, Glad to see you plant potatoes from my home state WA. Fingers cross they do well and not let you down on the opposite coast. Cheers!
Some Dutch Creams for the table? Great to see the planter in action. Working hard. Trial work is always rewarding. Not always a good idea to go into confined spaces without respiration, too much CO2 and methane from decomposing stuff. Thanks for the video, you are legends.
Thank you so much for watching! We have a great time working together. Shane actually did not breathe while he was in the tank. He held his breath and came up for air while he was cleaning in the tank thank you :)
Thank you so very much for sharing this video Molly. Last month I turned 70 years young and I have made it my goal to learn something new every day and you’re helping me with that by sharing your videos
I can say the same thing. Great idea. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. We grow potatoes here where the soil is suited for them. I deer hunted near a potato field but didn't know that much about them.

Molly, you are an absolute joy! It is so refreshing to see people who thoroughly love their work. Hope you have a great season and huge harvest. God bless.
Thank you Molly for the great video! You are teaching me a lot about potato farming especially since I knew absolutely nothing about it. By the way I love your laugh and smile! Larry
for some reason Shane coming out of the tank reminded me of high school health class video the miracle of birth i keep rewinding and laughing until i cry!!
Busy days planting and field prep is a sure sign that we made it through another year! Another great video Molly ! You never disappoint with your videos.
There is something to this confined space thing. The welding is highly problematic if you’re inside. You can do it but it requires special equipment. First thing is a trained competent person to oversee the project. I was one of those and the danger cannot be overstated.
Hi Molly. Thanks for the birthday wishes. It was a great weekend. You are probably the happiest worker I know who brings us along on your adventures. Maybe you will go in the tank after all on this to be continued.
Thanks Molly for showing us how you plant potatoes. Very interesting. Never realized all the work that is involved growing potatoes. It looks like its more hands on than other types of farming.
As a retired sales rep for US Foods, I sold a LOT of potatoes in my career...but never knew the extent of the whole process and what went into making a good looking product happen! Nice documenting! 👍 thx!
My Uncle worked for US Foods. Back then it was Sexton (Rykoff/Sexton) and then there was another merger with JP Foods I believe and then US Foods ... I always thought he switched companies, as I was not aware of all the mergers and stuff. They treated him very well and he did very well with the company. I thought Sysco was going to buy US Foods, whatever happened to that... Think around 2010? I remember my Uncle talking about it, but as far as I know they are still separate.
Wow, this was a pretty in-depth process to video getting right down to the nuts and bolts of all things potato and of course, the smiling potato queen giving expert narration. This video was pretty interesting. 🎉
I have watched how your winter turned out and I'm excited to see spring and summer unfold. We are getting rains every other day down here in rice country. Texas just keeps forwarding weather north and eastward.
Thank you molly,Shane and crew👍you had me laughing when you really wanted to go in that tank 🤣 excellent video and lovely weather to🌞,all the best from the UK 🇬🇧 👍
Not much has changed on planting day, when we were planting corn in 1960 in north central Ohio or you guys are planting potatoes in 2024. It’s always a crazy time of year, wouldn’t trade it for nothing…. Thx for the video..
Idaho farmer and rancher Billy Stanger was a man I briefly knew. He was onery as hell but once you got to know him, he was OK. One thing he hated was trespassers on his property and he had a lot of property. 44 thousand acres of property. Most of it was ranch but he did farm a small part of it. Anyway, when he caught someone on his property, he was ruthless towards them. He would confiscate their property like fishing gear and firearms. The people would threaten to call the sheriff and he would tell them to go ahead. Then you can explain why you are trespassing. I would always ask him for permission, and he would always let me because I was polite and didn't go anywhere I wasn't supposed to. And after we left his property and told him so, he would always say, "You tell people I am the meanest SOB you know". Like I mentioned, he was a cranky dude but once you got to know him, he was a good guy.
Sounds like a legend! The older man I was talking with in the field “Bill” we actually rent the land from him. I know what you mean about people asking for permission we have some issues in our property that is furthest away. But the neighbors keep an eye on it for us.
@@BellsFarming Yep everyone knew Billy. He had a blue pickup that was same color of blue and make and model of the local Sheriff's pickup. He even had a Sheriff's magnet he would place on the driver's side door of his pickup . Where he got that thing I have no idea, but he would fool people - just the trespassers - into thinking that he was a deputy. Sadly, he and his wife have both passed away.
Love You Guys, even though y’all work 7 days a week y’all still have fun together!!!!!! I only wish that the food distributors for the Southeast would add Maine potatoes to their list, we only get Idaho spuds in this area!
Those test plots are always time consuming no matter what crop you are planting. I hope you get some good data from the test. Another interesting video, keep it going Molly.!!
God bless Machine owners that save us trillions of dollars for food. I am 95 years old and I planted potatoes by hand. Today you couldn't afford potatoes raised by horse plowing and raising potatoes by hand.
And a good Sunday to you Molly… The poptatos you cut up,do they have eyes on them too??? You remind me of my wife see like a Tasmanian devil you both are always in tenth gear…. Enjoying the video.. Great curly hair 😊
My grandpa was a small time farmer, and he raised potatoes. I don’t remember how many acres but with about 10-12 people we picked it by hand and put them in his root cellar. He would cut the eyes off potatoes and use them for seed. Are you just cutting your seed potatoes in half just to expose some of the insides? Interesting show, learned a bunch.
"Nature always wants to grow" my dad would say. Sprouting in the box, they just want to get going lol. When you are saying "flags" I'm picturing little Dutch red-white-blue flags al thru the field lol. curious the results though, be interesting to see how those new varieties flourish (or not).

What a awesome video, the machines, the people and this lovely young lady so full of life.
Man I love your laughter and you. Great wife Molly.
Good Golly Miss Molly.... You got to get Shane to talk a lot more.. with more on camera kissing..😉😁❤️

Thank you for commenting :)
Thank you very much! That makes me really happy I can help you learn you something.
Molly is 100% Bad Ass! Oh and that smile 😍 Great Video!!
Thank you very much.
Shane is a man of few words but not to worry cause Mrs Shane makes up for it with style and grace!🤪
Hahah don’t worry! I will take up the slack in questions and talking!
Molly, you are an absolute joy! It is so refreshing to see people who thoroughly love their work. Hope you have a great season and huge harvest. God bless.

That tank fits the definition of a confined space, you guys should be aware the possible dangers before entering. Be careful!
We were

All the welding done to the tank was from outside luckily, my welder is a little tall to be in that tank anyway, I was just vacuuming out debris .
@@shanebell9589. That’s great. The stuff you need to weld in a stainless in a tank is a half day job to organize.
@@shanebell9589how did you know what the percentage of O2 was in the tank? Did you check it? Be safe, you have people counting on you.
When I was young and at home we planted potatoes trust me it wasn't this easy keep up the good work your doing a great job
Thank you! I have heard the stories about harvest by hand and barrels
Sweet, a Sunday episode! Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!
Innuendos we’re coming one after the other!🤪
Hahaha I know! It wasn’t intentional, but funny as hell!
Hi Molly. Thanks for the birthday wishes. It was a great weekend. You are probably the happiest worker I know who brings us along on your adventures. Maybe you will go in the tank after all on this to be continued.
Hahah maybe :) I’m glad you had a good birthday weekend Steve!
Mark Twain said, "Find a job you enjoy, and you'll never work a day in your life." You two are fun to watch. Great video as always. 👍👍
Thank you! We do really have a wonderful time working together. Life is good
It is very interesting to see what is involved in the commercial planting of potatoes. Great video.
Thank you!

Thank you
Luv your Taters lady!! 😊
Molly Magic Continues!
Always The Maine Event -
Lovely as Always Xx 💐🇬🇧
Good job, as a Dutch breeder I am of course curious about which new varieties to try?
Hey, we are not allowed to say just yet. But they are possibly some you are growing already.

I came for the potatoes and i stayed for Molly. Wow. She's gorgeous and has perfect curves.
We’ve had some great weather for getting spring planting done. Cheers from Nova Scotia.
Yes this last week has been great!
Another fun video. Your perpetual happiness is infectious and I am enjoying each and every one. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! I’m glad laughing and happiness can be contagious!!!! Thank you very much for watching out videos
Nice tubers.
Great video you guys. Always so much to do. You never stop going. ❤
Good Golly Miss Molly That’s a lot of potatoes 🥔 🍠🍟.
I have watched how your winter turned out and I'm excited to see spring and summer unfold. We are getting rains every other day down here in rice country. Texas just keeps forwarding weather north and eastward.
Thanks for the update! I’m glad you have been watching for a little while :)
Thank you Molly and Shane 👍🏻 Appreciate you 🫶🏻 God Bless my friends 🙏🏻

Never knew that potato planting was so involved.
Without a new Bells Farming video, CZcams would be very boring.

New to your channel,great video
Hey! Welcome!
One of my favorite foods is potato love watching the show
Thank you very much!
Shane is a better man than I! no way I could have let “can I go in the front while you go in the back” go with out a comment 😂😂
Hahaha

Those test plots are always time consuming no matter what crop you are planting. I hope you get some good data from the test. Another interesting video, keep it going Molly.!!
Thank you !
Again, industrial farming. Still being very careful to keep planting clean and organized. A huge undertaking.
Good golly miss Molly,
She works hard for the money!
Great video molly , so interesting to see how you do what you do. You and Shane and crew are hard workers. Thank you for what you do 😊
Thank you for watching :)
I needed a dinner idea, and here you are with a delicious idea for part of it
Great video. Love watching the process for planting. Good stuff. Keep them coming. .
I dont know what kind of Potatos you are growing but you sure are a " Hot Potato!"
Hahahah thank you.
Love you’re videos Molly 👍
Thank you very much for watching! We really appreciate it 💚
New varieties, very interesting. I'm Looking forward to how they grow and produce. Thanks for another video.
Fascinating as always can’t wait to see the progress through out the season. Great job guys
Fun to watch what goes into potato farming. Nice work guys!
God bless Machine owners that save us trillions of dollars for food. I am 95 years old and I planted potatoes by hand. Today you couldn't afford potatoes raised by horse plowing and raising potatoes by hand.
Thank you very much for your time as a farmer!
I am honored that you are watching our channel! Thank you very much.
Yes! Tip of the hat to the generations that came before us. They did the hard work to get us to where we are today. Thank you sir!
Tank is totally worth fixing. A good welder can have in shape in no time.
Yes Derick did a great job, I will show in an upcoming video :)
Seems so early to plant but Bell Farms are experts with growing potatoes! Hope those Washington seeds mature nicely.
16:36 - "That's what she said." 🤣
Molly, you're a hoot! 😂 NCIS stuff? That's cool...I'm ret.Navy...22yrs.
I wish I knew who sent it to us :)

It is to make them smaller and more uniform inside. The inside doesn’t matter. But the smaller size to fit into the planter cup does
Some pipes on you Molly lol. From handling all them spuds
Welcome to the gun show lol just kidding 💪
Good video Molly. I jusr can't believe Shane wouldn't let you get in the tank haha.
Hahah I’ll have an opportunity to get into the next tank haha
GROWTH IS AFFECTED WITH EVERY VID!

Great 👍 job kids ❤
Nicely done, very informative.
Thank you for watching:)

Great job girl !!! 😊
what a great laugh!!!!!!!

Oh nice!
Love your positive work ethic, refreshing to see that your generation does have what it takes !!! So it’s not all about being Woke …😮
Hahah just good old fashion work and happiness here.
КАРТОШЕЧКА ЭТО ХОРОШО
Wow alot of moving parts on that planter..mine has much less moving parts..you have very nice soil up there! I'm so jealous!
Lovely sunny day for it.
I still enjoy watching the process. Can you explain the difference between these potatoes and organic ones?
Organic means- food grown and processed using no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We are a conventional Farm. We do not do any organic farming currently.
Ok. Just asking. Ty for answering Molly
You two have entirely too much fun while you’re working!😊 You’re not suppose to have fun, you’re suppose to walk around with a scowl looking like you’ve been baptized in lemon juice. Cheers you two!
Hahah I knew you would get a laugh at us being silly
Having fun, laughing together, and getting things done, couldn’t be better. Happy planting! 😊
Fun was the same thought I had. Had I had as much fun on the farm as a youth I may have stuck with it.
Want to see more of how potato planter works. I have never seen one in my life.
We ain’t cleaning shit out roll with it🤣🤣🤣 later girl.❤️😎🇺🇸 Just saw Shane’s ink at the end of video….Nice👍
We have too much fun! Thanks for watching!
