I visited the farm store today. Bought the best tasting sweet corn I've had this year; the best tasting kielbasa I've had in a long, long time (from another local farm); salad vegetables including onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini. The salad was wonderful. I also bought a bag of new potatoes that look great, some of which will be in a potato salad tomorrow. I drove 50 miles from Old Orchard Beach just to test the Bells Farm produce. It was well worth it. The local farms are good, Bells Farm produce is excellent. Thank you to all the Bells. Oh, can't forget the Bells Farm tote bag to put it all in. 😃😃
@@1striperon that is so awesome! Thank you for driving all that way to check out the store! Sorry I missed you, I had a chance to get some lawn work done this afternoon. Thank you so much for all you great comments and the support you give our channel
@@BellsFarming the harvester seems to drop / miss a good amount of pieces. is that something that be fixed with adjustments or is it just part of using such a large and fist machine? btw thank you for these insightful videos!
I had so many questions in my head as to how this machine works and you answered every one of them with the unbelievable camera angles and shot placement! Thank you for that.
I never would have guessed that watching the inner workings of a giant, mutant lawn mower would be so entertaining. That and you along with the drone shots go quite well with morning coffee. Thanks a bunch.
The behind-the-scenes look at "Cornzilla" and the careful planning for the next day's harvest really showcase the hard work and precision that go into bringing fresh corn to the table. A great watch for anyone interested in farming!
Shane is a very lucky man. He got the most beautiful, energetic, hard working, intelligent woman in Maine. Molly, you and Shane are a great team. Keep smiling.
@@BellsFarming Omg. I can't imagine being with a more grounded wife. To care for, encourage, support, admire and love unconditionally. Molly puts in the work in every measurable way. What a woman. So you fools can save your fool's comments. And Molly has the greatest teacher and admirer in Shane. What a couple!
You’re a breath of sunshine. It’s so good to see someone that is so happy with their job. I know farming is tough. That’s why I say it’s pleasure to you and your husband.
I’m amazed at your operation, I used to grow sweet corn in New Jersey and it was a 25 acre Manuel operation just to add income to our dairy farm. I currently live in western Pennsylvania and buy some corn from Walmart for 25 cents and ear. Can’t believe anyone can make money at these prices. Our local farmer get $8.00 a dozen but still struggles with input costs so high, God bless you for your commitment to agriculture and producing food thank you
I have to imagine it’s a loss leader item. Kroger will have it occasionally for 10cents an ear. Some stuff is so cheap I can’t believe they even hauled it for the price they are selling.
As a retire Electrical Engineer, certain rules are followed, so no problem for me. But a Hard Design Engineer, they have no rules, so I've always been impressed with what they come up with. So seeing how this corn picker works, I'm amazed! 👌👍
I am so glad that I found your channel. Not only do we enjoy the best tasting sweet corn and potatoes around central Maine, but we also now get to see all of the hard work that goes into getting those products to us. Not only do you do a great job filming and editing those daily chores but showing us and explaining how the equipment works is a real bonus for those of us with an engineering mindset. We are so grateful for all of the hard work that the Bell family does for all of us.
I remember while back my uncle got a call from Birds eye for sweet corn growing. He normally does field corn. But this one year he grow like 600 acres of sweet corn and still grown another 1,000 acres of field corn in southeast corner of by Plymouth, Nebraska. My 2 Uncles own 2 farms close together and they help each other with their families. I come over and help run equipment too at times during harvest, planting, disking too as our farm was just a few miles away too. Was interesting as he got Birds eye to bring in contractors with equipment for picking and hauling. Take care and enjoy.
Very interesting the way the picker works is really simple it's like any other machine too bad to do the transmission repair it cost so much to fix, very nice video well explained and thanks for sharing.
My late uncle's farm is in Ontario Canada where I helped with the harvest in the 1960's.... My late father was on the board of directors of Cummins Engine Company.. Hello from the rocky mid-coast of Maine, US........
With today’s equipment, just a few folks can produce an amazing amount of food. As I have watched Molly and Shane work their butts off, they really earn whatever they can profit from that labor and the horrendous costs associated with this industry. Bells Farms is a great place!!!
Thanks Molly! Great video as always! I'm an old farm boy down in NC that raised tobacco, watermelons, corn, beans, wheat, peanuts and hogs back in the 60s-90s...never seen a sweetcorn picker!! Shane is a lucky man to have such a beautiful partner and looks like y'all work real well together!
I am still amazed at the improvements in farming now, mechanization has improved everything so much. We don’t have nearly enough farmers but the great modern machinery has taken the need for so many farmers. Love watching the use of the machinery and your hard work. Hard work as always; just greater produce.
Dan, I in no way mean to insult you, but how can you say "We don't have nearly enough farmers?" Do you know how many people are lined up to be farmers? Moreover, I defy you to find me a single farm field not being farmed because we don't have enough farmers.
@@greggergen9104 I have read that we don't have enough farmers. That we have had a large percentage of farms close down in the last 20 years. Across the country, the same sort of problem.
@@DanPurdy1 Just search something like: "start up farmers," on CZcams. You will find a ton of videos, by people who are trying to break into farming. Like I say they are lined up to farm.
@@greggergen9104some of the fields we used to farm now have houses on them, so there’s not a field not being farmed, however there are no more fields. Just tossing that out there
@@greggergen9104 Well the facts are many farmers went under in past decades due to low prices on their produce. That resulted in less farmers and then huge acreages operated by one farmer or perhaps a family and ever larger equipment. I grew up on a mixed farm. My Dad had Angus cattle and i can recall when the exotic breeds started coming in--this would be late 1960-1970's in Western Canada. We got docked on price when the livestock sold because the "buyers" now wanted the larger breeds like Simmental, Limousin, etc. So, the old story the cattle farmer then goes to the bigger breeds, and by the time we left the farm NOW THOSE WERE TOO BIG, buyers wanted smaller steers etc. DID YOU EVER GO TO THE STORE AND SEE THE MEAT SOLD BY WHAT BREED THEY WERE? Although i do find it kind of funny when the fast-food stores brag about their burgers being "Angus burgers". Then i think back to my days on the farm when Dad was docked for his Angus cattle!! In other words, he would basically get less per pound. I wish farmers of old would share some stories on here about how different grains were being sold for the same price it went for DECADES BEFORE. I suppose most are deceased or in nursing homes. My Dad is long gone but sure could have told a lot of stories. The only way farmers have survived is increasing production and larger acreages. I have not kept abreast of the situation but did see TV shows talking about the aging farmer and not enough people to replace them. You see how hard this couple works and it is sure no 9-5 job that everyone wants. The fact is there are a lot of corporate farming going on these days or so i have heard.
So much appreciate showing us the way you farm the sweet corn,,, I plant the last 2 rows of my 25 acre corn section ( for feed ) with sweet corn cut the stalks by hand and bring it to the Saturday market,, local folks love it,,, thanks for video Molly ☺️☺️☺️😎
Here in south Texas years ago my father used bird cannons in rice fields right after planting so ducks wouldn’t dredge & pull up the plants. Later when the plants matured and had grains we used them to scare off birds from eating the rice. We made wooden stands to put the cannons on & the propane tanks sat on levees to keep them out of the water so they wouldn’t rust.
That is definitely a interesting machine picking the sweet corn thanks for sharing tater lady please tell shane that his work ethic and machine skills are definitely awesome in my opinion
I watch on CZcams and I haven't been able to see you in awhile. It's good see you again. If I had the tools you have I probably would have been a farmer. I walked too many days behind mules to want to be a farmer
After a rough night, due to low blood sugar, this is the perfect way to start my day. Smiling Molly, and Handsome Shane, doing cool work. Thanks for sharing, Molly!! Bryan from Nova Scotia 😊
Your big smile getting into YOUR truck just made me smile, too. You really do enjoy farming. I don’t think your customers know that you’re taking quite a risk when you plant sweet corn and awaiting orders, and leaving fields behind because the corn has matured beyond table suitable. Making silage out of it is a salvage income that doesn’t cover all costs. Love your videos, Molly.
I’m so glad I could make you smile 😊 happiness is contagious. I do really Love this. And you’re 100% correct about tracking the risks when planting. Thank you so much for all your support!
4:00 to 7:00 is a tough start to the day. Great footage of Cornzilla. Crawling under the machine to put a camera was an achievement. The problems of horticultural production and supply at the right time meeting current demand. It’s a tough industry. Thanks for the video.
Another great video! I have read how Cornzilla works but a picture (better yet a video) is worth a thousand words... cool to see the inner workings! Thank you for taking your valuable harvest time to capture it.
my father worked on Oliver tractor design late fifties early sixties. he would be amazd with your cornzilla. good clean pick and no damage i saw and self contained no truck driving parallel. good camera work showing the wheels of death in action. have a good harvest
What a fascinating and informative video. Thank you so much for taking time out of your incredibly busy day to share a little bit of your world with us! Farmers are heroes in my book. ❤
This is the first time I've ever seen sweet corn harvested. I assumed it was harvested just like conventional corn, but it looks like the stock is cut and drawn the opposite way to remove the ear. Very interesting. Thanks very much for the video
One of your very best videos IMO...The amazing camera angles, excellent information / explanations, the whole thing really shines and really showcases your impressive videography skills! Really glad to see Cornzilla running normally after the major repairs, what an amazing machine. Gonna hafta get me some Bell's T-Shirts now!!
Awesome video brought back memories. I used to run a single row pixall corn puller back in the day. Those were some early mornings picking for all the wholesalers. FYI never never stuff a bird cannon full of corn thinking it will shoot the corn out. lol
Great to see you Molly and Shane and a video when you have time.A busy time of year and long rewarding hours too.Down in the Fraser Valley of B.C.,I was eating fresh corn over two weeks ago seeing family.It seems early by far in many areas.The weather is different this year as I heard Trumpeter Swans yesterday and usually don't hear them until well into later September.I hope this doesn't mean that winter is not too far away at least here anyways? Great to see how corn is harvested!
I use a milk crate when transporting a 20# LP tank. Prevents it from rolling around and tipping over. Great video. Interesting in seeing how sweet is harvested.
I used to work on a fresh market corn farm in Oregon...we used to load 5 to 10 trucks a day...we had 4,000 acres of yellow and white corn... and about 50 acres of beans
That corn picker is a very interesting machine. I like seeing how farm machinery works. A lot of them are very simple designs but with a lot of thought into them...
Really great video! Thanks for going over the operation of the Cornzilla and showing so many great camera angles! And I was going to ask about the board road but you explained that too! I can't believe how hard you two work! Please know that the extra effort that you put into video production is appreciated!
Good morning from Kodiak Island Alaska I so enjoy watching these kind of videos I have spent literally weeks inside of sellers just like yours I actually was in India in 2020 in March to spray foam in a brand new storage building I enjoy doing that my wife is from Maine so we spend a lot of time up there back in the day didn't notice if that was sugar and gold corn
@@charlieslorenson1861 very cool! I can imagine it’s slot of work to spray these buildings. And messy too. This variety of corn is called Nirvana it is better than sugar and gold :)
Great job of explaining how the corn picker works. I watch a lot of farming videos and so many do not explain how they are doing something or why. I know it may be personal information but would love an overview of how much corn, potatoes, beans you get from an acre, how much it sells for, etc. I am fascinated by the expense of all of the machinery and buildings required to run a farm.
That footage is some of the most unique perspectives and just plain great corn picking videography I’ve ever watched, you put the “Kool” into a harvesting video. Great Job!
Keep up the great work guys your both awesome as a male I understand why all the comments are directed at you Molly and I'm sure sure Shane knows too but you two make an awesome team together and always make things work and progress excellent work love your channel guys
I hope the power company is paying you for the use of your land. Very interesting fact about seeds that don't germinate. I never thought about that possible issue for farmers. Bird canons. I love it.
I've been told that all the powerline work is the southern end of the new line coming down from Canada for Massachusetts. The same line that is tearing thru beautiful wilderness in Jackman.
Mollie and Shane are very hard working couple. AWSOME videos. Never thought I would be this interested in corn and potatoes keep up the interesting videos and stay safe
I’m never so happy as when I’m munching on a grilled ear of sweet corn from Avila Barn. As a “purist”, I take it either neat or with just a little melted butter… perfection. I can’t stop chuckling that you named your harvester “Cornzilla”! As a G-Fan who loves everything Godzilla thats absolutely perfect! Don’t work too hard! ;-) Cheers!
Süper video olmus. Mısırlar sanki olmamış gibi. Bu yeşil mısırları siz ne yapıyorsunuz. Mısırın dalları var çok güzel hayvan yemi olur. Zayi etmeyin. Saygılar hanım efendi😂🎉
Great video Molly and Shane! This is actually the first video I've seen harvesting sweetcorn, ive always wanted to see how they get the cob of the plant without damaging them!
Hi, first time viewer from the uk, just subscribed and love videos like this. We should all be very grateful for people like you who keep our countries going with quality food thank you so much, also the camera angles are amazing ie the corn being cut off at the base. I can see wht molly is Very popular with the viewers, just love the accent too 😊. Thanks guys..
Have you heard of the sweet corn variety called "Bodacious"? It's a variety I get here in SW Idaho. It has such a great "corn" flavor that I have found many sweet corn varieties lack in.

Shane, harvesting the corn, SWEET, lol, Jack, RI, USA
I hope the power company is paying you for the use of your land. Very interesting fact about seeds that don't germinate. I never thought about that possible issue for farmers. Bird canons. I love it.
It’s actually their land , we farm it
Pretty amazing how machines can do this process so efficiently and fast, great angles and shots on the video.
Good job on the corn demo Molly. Even with not enough hours in the day, you are putting out better and better content!
Those camera angles really SWEET 😆 awesome videos you shoot thanks for doing them 👍👍
I've been told that all the powerline work is the southern end of the new line coming down from Canada for Massachusetts. The same line that is tearing thru beautiful wilderness in Jackman.
I have heard the same thing
That machine is amazing. Incredible how it can separate the cobs of corn from the rest of the plant.
Nice video...noticed manual roll down and up windows on the trucks...wished we still had the option to have them in our autos..thanks for sharing.
Amazing process that you have perfected!!
Mollie and Shane are very hard working couple. AWSOME videos. Never thought I would be this interested in corn and potatoes keep up the interesting videos and stay safe
I’m never so happy as when I’m munching on a grilled ear of sweet corn from Avila Barn. As a “purist”, I take it either neat or with just a little melted butter… perfection. I can’t stop chuckling that you named your harvester “Cornzilla”! As a G-Fan who loves everything Godzilla thats absolutely perfect! Don’t work too hard! ;-) Cheers!
When i saw the corduroy road i was thinking these are the richest farmers in the country that can afford a road like that through their field.
Haha yeah right! Central Maine power handy work there
Cornzilla is a pretty cool piece of equipment, it kind of reminds me of one of my Son's Transformers toys!
Hahah Optimus Cornzilla
Good job getting all the camera angles showing Cornzilla in action. Many very clever harvesting machines on the farm these days 🙂
You guys are doing an excellent job and we all love it!
Süper video olmus. Mısırlar sanki olmamış gibi. Bu yeşil mısırları siz ne yapıyorsunuz. Mısırın dalları var çok güzel hayvan yemi olur. Zayi etmeyin. Saygılar hanım efendi😂🎉
I think this is awesome people need to see where our food comes from and how hard it is , from seed to harvest, complete the process . Thanks 😊
Love your channel thanks for sharing
Thank you!
I watched this video for 2 reasons. When she said THE 'ear of corn' is pinched off by the rollers... BOTH my questions were answered. 😎
Hello from Maryland. Just found your channel today. Very interesting. You do a great job. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Great video Molly and Shane! This is actually the first video I've seen harvesting sweetcorn, ive always wanted to see how they get the cob of the plant without damaging them!
Hi, first time viewer from the uk, just subscribed and love videos like this.
We should all be very grateful for people like you who keep our countries going with quality food thank you so much, also the camera angles are amazing ie the corn being cut off at the base.
I can see wht molly is Very popular with the viewers, just love the accent too 😊. Thanks guys..
Have you heard of the sweet corn variety called "Bodacious"? It's a variety I get here in SW Idaho. It has such a great "corn" flavor that I have found many sweet corn varieties lack in.
I have not heard of that one. Clever name.
Seru dan menarik sekali proses panen jagung manis dengan mesin panen...👍👍 Senang sekali menyaksikan videomu sahabat👍👍
Interesting. Like a reverse corn head. Pops them off from the top instead of from underneath. Cool!
Awesome work on Cornzilla!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
