I have been driving forklifts for 10 years now, and this is the first time I have ever seen a bucket on any. I like how you explain the process in what you all do. Good stuff.
@@BellsFarming Oh I am learning lots from you guys. I like learning how farming is in different areas. I know where Maine is, but that is it. So, it is nice to see what you produce.
Potatoes were one of my first garden crops. It gave me such pleasure to harvest them and use them in the kitchen. Now that I am following a low carb / keto genic lifestyle and have a handle on managing my metabolism, the potato is just a memory of a garden crop.
Very interesting Molly. Thanks to your great videos I am now more educated and impressed about how much work and effort goes into growing and delivering potatoes to market. Good job to you all!
It wasn't until i was 10 minutes in i realised it was about potatoes, i couldn't work with you all day, such a distraction lol, great vids and keep em cold ,keep em bold😊
Pretty cool of you explaining all the processes that go on behind the scene. Who would have known. A lot of work goes into what you do. Much appreciated from your farm to the kitchen table. Keep up the good work! 👍
my dad was a big beef cattle farmer when i was young. He use to give the steers the left over potatoes and chips from herrs potatoes' chips factory with string beans from Hanover and cookies and molasse's with left over malt liquor from Michters Distillery in Newmanstown. It was a huge feedlot operation at the time. I learned alot then and will never forget.
Love potatoes!❤ especially Love the big ones! My dad grew them many years ago and we had so much fun digging them out of the ground. I Love potatoes boiled, fried, stewed don't matter.😋
Just found your channel and subscribed! This brought back memories from my childhood, picking and later (when I was old enough) working on harvesters during potato season in Aroostook County. Planting, irrigation, harvesting, storage, and selection sure has changed over the years but the hard-working people who bring spuds to the table have not. Definitely watching more videos. Thanks!!
I have been watching footage of grain farming as that is what my family has done but, I was interested in seeing how other crops are farmed. Like others we gardened potatoes and it is nothing like farming them full time. I have watched a few of your videos now and I am impressed with how you have done so many different jobs. To my eye you have excelled at each. My mother and sisters were not involved with the farm work and I wish that they had as I think that that would have been a good thing. We were all involved in the gardens and the chicken and pigs I believe. Being a full participant in the farm like you are is wonderful to see. Thank you for providing an incite into this and giving my memories of my youth a boost!!
Thank you for the compliment, I do really love what I am learning and hope maybe it will inspire others to do the same. I’m glad I was able to spark some good memories! Thank you for watching!
This is a fascinating video and all however I think thems some of the best looking potatoes I’ve ever seen. built like a brick chicken house is an understatement i’d say farmer Bell got the prize when he brought that little girl home👍😊
What kind of farm girl never goes swimming in her local crik or pond in the summer? Can we look forward to an episode like that in the coming warmer months?
@@BellsFarmingSpeaking for some of the gentlemen on this platform, I'd say we would probably watch you, watch paint dry, if you did so in a bikini. Just sayin'. ;)
Well in my latest video it’s about 55 degrees and I’m wearing long John’s haha in the summer it’s about 80 and I wear a swim suit. So it depends on the time of year lol
I just found your channel a few days ago. Your videos are well done and very informative and interesting, plus you have a very likable personality. Have since subscribed and binge watched all of your videos. Thanks for sharing your and your husbands farming adventures.
Thank you so much for the really nice comment! That makes me very happy to hear! I did the same thing for a couple of channels I found too. Thank you very much for watching and subscribing, I should have a new video out soon, been busy with thanksgiving potato orders 💚
Most people do not understand the amount of work it takes to grow, harvest, clean and store potatoes. AND showing its hard, labor intensive work. They think potatoes "magically" appear in the bags and bins at the grocery store. Thanks for helping educate the masses !
Very interesting process. When I was a kid we grew our own potatoes, 6 to 10 rows, I recall eating the small ones, when we dug them up, after rubbing off the soil on my cloths, yum, yum. Yep stored in cellar. Thanks for sharing how its done on the BIG scale. At 79 I still Love them cooked all different ways.
We did that too with a exactly same model forklift, then we went to box storage . Much cleaner operation and less bruising. The downside is of course the weather cover one needs for the empty boxes. Cheers from a Finnish potato farm.
Im a new subscriber. Really enjoyed this video. Never realized how much work goes into potato farming. You're the prettiest tater farmer i believe ive ever seen! Thanks for the video!
This takes me back to the early 80's... I was 13, 14 or so moving pipe in South Eastern Idaho all summer, then come spud harvest, we'd all do whatever we could or had to do, I think I had done it all until I seen this video, but I did drive machinery, help grade and pull cull, drive many loads to the CO-OP with no power steering, an AM radio and weather that included snow in September and mud in October and I don't recall anything as cute as you in all of the time I spent in those fields, thanks for the memory jog
@@BellsFarming Family Owned and Operated Farms are the only way to keep us free. Again, thank you, your family and many like yours have built their lives around Farming all for the betterment of our society. 🙏
My grandmother grew up in the countryside of the state of Virgi,. She and my great-grandmother used to make pig feet in the oven. It's awesome to see how others on the other side of the globe in a different culture make them. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
if only i could get potatoes from there... awesome channel molly thanks for sharing. my garden potato harvest was barely a 5 gallon pail and mostly little ones.
Russet potatoes 🥔 are my favourite for baked and white potatoes 🥔 are my favourite for mashed. Mmmm yummy 😋. Cheers 🍻 Wishing you good health and good friends.🇨🇦
Just came across your channel, this is the 2nd video I've watched so far, very very interesting. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos PS, could tell it was chilly in there when you were grading potatos😘😘
Molly we appreciate the effort you put into these wonderful videos, they are far the best farming videos on CZcams. Your presentations absent of any foolishness that happens so often when people get in front of a camera are appreciated. A huge congratulations and appreciation to you and the entire Bell family, farming since 1937, there's not many of guys left in this country
Appreciate all your work. I was a manufacturing engineer earlier in my career. Lol got me thinking about "ROIs"and gravity feed storage system. It was always a function of hourly labor rates. Great video!
@@BellsFarming Appreciate your work... It was always a sizeable amount of work to change anything.. not only the technical solutions but the political part of working with people. Thank you.. I no longer can travel as I takecare of my wife. I really do miss turning around entire plants. All the best!
Wow,,, back in the 80s when I was 15 to 18 yrs old I shoveled (with big pitchfork type shovels)the potatoes out those kind of bins. lol, that and ran a bagger at the end of the line. Had to weight, twist wire close and stack. That was some hard but satisficing work back in the day.
Very interesting, I always enjoy your videos I have learned quite a bit. I worked in retail produce for 43 years and never knew potatoes were grown in the state of Maine.
This is in IOWA, right? Just kidding, we get that from time to time here where I live......as I sit surrounded by endless miles of cornfields, hog confinement buildings, dairy farms, and not one potato farm in sight. Love your channel, really cool to see how potato farming/processing is done. It's silly that people hate on farmers for a variety of reasons, but if it weren't for people like you a lot of us would be starving, or struggling to find our next meal. Thanks for all you do!
@brianog5267 here in Iowa, some people see farmers as rich, lazy, mizers who collect government welfare and subsidies, and don't "share the wealth ", and pollute the environment. Usually these people live in town and have no clue where food comes from beyond the grocery store shelf. The rest of us who grew up in rural areas know otherwise.
Very well done and presented. I like all the camera angles of the fork lift potato scooper. Your nice thumbnail photo shows that the work area is a very cool temperature 🙂👍❤️ 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
Coming from the mountain west (just south of Idaho), who knew potatoes grew in Maine?! Fun fact, my mother's ancestry goes back hundreds of years in Maine! My parents have pieced together many lines of our family tree to the early 1600's and beyond, several of whom were on the Mayflower!
That’s a pretty slick process you all have. I never thought about what it takes to process that bag of potatoes in the grocery store. Thanks for sharing.
Solid content. Everyone eats em, but doesn't understand how they get to our table. Love this style of taking us through the steps.
Hey thank you!
I see the pointers you speak of. Great info
@@BellsFarmingwhere's the potatoes I only saw melons that were quite cold 🤷
LOVE THEM POTATOES AND YOUR POTATOES ARE BEST!
almost all eastern europe harvesting potato by themselves every year
Thanks for presenting us with a couple of great pointers on potato farming.
Must have been a little chilly that day.
She pointed out several things I as unaware of.
I can't wait for Melon harvesting season!
Nice one!😂
Underrated comment.
Excellent, we men of culture appreciate your potatoes
Boys, we'll click on anything in a cold room.
Men of agriculture, let's admire those nice potatas.
Very nice potatos, never seen eyes on potatos so big.
I thought the exact same thing.
It is nice to see someone find a way to stand out on CZcams, embrace it, and succeed at it.
There aren’t really many potato farms on CZcams. I’m happy to be educating people about this kind of farming!
I'm all in for some education.
Your husband is a very fortunate man!
She presented a wealth of information, that was strikingly on-point.
Mmmm ,gorgeous smart little farmer ,enjoy learning new things from your ooeration.
This video was great. It has really perked my interest in potatoes now.
I know she knows what she's doing😊 but good googlie mooglie! She is a whole handful of beautiful! Most respect intended.
Not only does Molly look absolutely stunning her smarts about potatoes makes her even more fascinating. 💯❤👍👍
Thank you!
wow I never watched a Potatoe show before. Thanks for showing me your potatoes I enjoyed. The show.
A very well rounded tour of everyones mouth watering favourites, spuds!
I prefer my spuds to be totally natural. These just felt forced on me.
Those are 100% natural....put a little butter on them and oh boy what a treat.....
What are we talking about?
Those are some fantastic potatoes!
Good golly Miss Molly, your voice and the confidence within it rock
She could talk about anything and we men of culture will approve!
Best potatoes I’ve ever laid my eyes on!!
Those are some beautiful potatoes. They look scrumptious! 🥔 🥔
Thanks for being a great tour guide and showing us how you scoop, wash, sort and bag the potatoes. Blessings to you.
Thank you for watching have a great night

This just shows what potato’s go through to get to a selling point! Thanks
