Catching up with early videos. I have whole new respect for my beloved potatoes. You guys have gained a lot of my friends and family who all love watching your posts. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing. 🇬🇧👍👍👍
My wife loves potatoes so much that if she saw the bins when they were full she would swim in them like Scrooge McDuck in his money bins! Lol you make farming understandable and are a great host!
Loved the talking with hands in pockets. Wife’s side of family is Italian and hand movement goes with talking a lot. I didn’t notice you doing that till hands in pockets. And I made me giggle. Love the channel!
Your work ethic is admirable! Hard work is what it takes to keep a large, family-owned farm afloat. Your videos have great quality, production and especially presentation. Cheers.
It's cool down to earth hard working people like yourself that take the time to reply back that makes this an enjoyable community connection that just makes my day 😊.
Thank you for watching! It seems that automation is the way of the future. The more automated equipment we have to less laborers we need. Good reliable help is hard to find.
Evening Molly!!! 1st off Love your thumbnail… I’m really impressed on your potato plant it’s spotless ,you could eat off the floor in that place you should be proud… I couldn’t work with you around there.. I wouldn’t be able to take my eyes off of you and I’d end up sewed up in a bag of those potato’s headed to SHOP AND SAVE!!!😂😂
Hahah thank you for the compliments. We really try to keep the packing house clean. It’s important for food safety. And because we have Bessy hanging out with us! Thanks for the other compliment too :)
All those structures, all that equipment, all those workers, and a dog. It amazes me that the lowly spud is that lucrative. When I was growing up on a corn and bean farm it was just the lone farmer and me, his serf.
This farm started with nothing too. The bell family has really put in the work to grow! Even since I have been there we have added newer equipment. The hard work has really paid off. We are able to work a little smarter not harder. Thank you so much for watching our videos!💚
Molly, this old man loves your videos and the vibrant Lady teaching us how the Eastern Potato farming works. Just to let you know, there are few, if any markets in Georgia that carry the delicious Maine potatoes and I have yet to find any that carry Bells Farms, wish I could!!
Yeah I don’t think they make it that far. But you can always ask the produce manager at your grocery store about trying to get our potatoes. Tell them about the channel maybe they will want to try and carry them since they already have some Maine potatoes.
Thanks for showing us how it’s done. Just like all agriculture, more work than anybody can imagine. Looks like everyone knows what to do and some of us are glad it’s cold in there to enhance our viewing pleasure !! Thx for the video….
I truely Thank You and your family team including your awesome canine. For filling our dinner tables with top grade potatoes and a beautiful host! You all are high energy and that surely part of your sucess👍♦️
There she is. Molly, our beautiful tour guide to commercial potato farming, and as always, with a smile on her face. I grow about 300lbs of reds and russets every year for our personal use. I just cant even imagine the work that goes into yalls operation. I love seeing the doggos in the videos, mine follow me everywhere I go, I have one that gets in the truck everytime it starts, LOL. Another great video, Thank you.
That was a very fast ride that Ray was doing. Great job Molly great video lots of help that day helps when we are trying to empty the first of two potatoe storage buildings
@@BellsFarming discovered your channel just by chance and now I'm hooked 😳 still got a few more of your videos to watch and really enjoy them,keep up the good work 👏 🤗
Molly love your videos, the potatoe bussiness is very interesting never dreamed so much work went into a bag of potatoes. Keep up the good work ,Shane is a lucky man to have a great lady like you.
Mornin Molly. When people myself included go to the store to buy a bag of potatoes I don't think they realize the work that goes into it. We all tend too take things for granted. Thanks for everything you do there around the farm !
Hi Molly, I like the way you explain the day to day decisions of running your farm. My background is dairy farming when I was young and lived in Northern NYS.
This is right! We all love what we do very much. But honestly it doesn’t feel like work. It’s just what we do. And you do what needs to be done. Thank you for the support!
In all honesty though, we have a lot of automation, aside from people being sore from not being used to the physical labor most common thing is people managing to cut themselves on tape dispensers.
Good evening Molly, I always enjoy and look forward to your videos. Probably because I’m half Irish but I’ve never met a potato I didn’t enjoy. I’ve looked for you all’s potatoes but I don’t think I’ve ever seen them here in Missouri but I’ll keep looking. The weather here has been pretty crazy we started today with a temperature of 47 and now it’s 17 and we aren’t expecting temperatures above freezing till next Wednesday. You all stay safe and well.
Thank you so much for watching! We have been having very crazy weather too! Stay safe. Ask your produce manager at your local grocery store to try and get our potatoes. Maybe the will order some :)
Such a cool video, we grow a few taters, nothing like this. Love seeing how a big farm operates, and all the cool machines y’all get to use. Thanks so much for sharing!
Luckily she just lays there not disrupting anything hahah. She is a good girl. I just have to walk over her sometimes. I cant even imagine how many scraps the buckets have made on that floor!
Well……. The bucket holds around 400 lbs ( nice round number for mathing) and we’ve used that forklift for about 20 years . Average probably 4 million lbs a year over those 20 years. So about 200,000 buckets of potatoes if I had to guess on the conservative side
