Hey Molly - great video. Most folks don’t realize when you’re dealing with food product that is for human consumption there are a whole different set of rules for cleanliness as opposed to commercial food stuffs like commercial corn and such. Still is amazing to me how the potatoes come out of the ground covered in dirt but by the time y’all bag em up they look spotless. Looking at what you just showed us I can understand why you have to clean it up so often and that it is a never ending process. I absolutely love how Bessy never lets you or Shane out of her sight. Such a good dog! Have a great week y’all!
Thank you Edward! I always love reading your comments. You are absolutely right about the rules for human food. Luckily potatoes are one of the crops that is not consumed raw (like lettuce or carrots) those farms have to follow even stricter food safety rules. Then you have the packaging and processing plants. Their facilities for packaging is at the highest level of food safety. I read some of the guidelines for those facilities and was like “ boy I’m glad we only do potatoes and corn! “ thank you as always for watching.
I've noticed before on how clean the plant is, have a real appreciation for all the effort and work goes into running a good business, watching full commercials so hopefully you get your full revenue
Oh I don't enjoy them but I think Utube has different revenue formulas if they are watched entirely, someone please correct me if I am wrong, I think like small businesses good people need support, I have watched since the beginning but just realized I wasn't and subscribed today
Great video. There is alot of unseen work with potato's. I worked on a potato farm 40 years ago when I was just 17 years old. Hard work never hurt anyone. No need for a gym back in 1984 . 😂 still enjoying your video's here in Ireland 🇮🇪
You were definitely a hard-working woman. not too many women in this world would be doing the things you are now your husband is very lucky to have someone like you keep up the good work I enjoy your videos, South Carolina
Thanks! We do the same and blow off then pressure wash at the end of harvest ground work for the fall then repair work in the winter , I don’t know if you go thru GAP inspections but we do during harvest they come out inspect all the diggers and transfer equipment, went thru it last year boss came out after it was done. I asked how did we do, he said you got ginger, what!? My machine is good! No you got gigged. What! Yeah your ear rings, I said she had ear rings!
Hahah yes we do harmonized plus GAP inspections annually. The check list is long! I do all the food safety stuff on our farm. FYI let your safety person know to change their policy about earrings. as long as your policy says you can have earrings, you can have them😜 points get taken off if you “ aren’t following what your policy says” so make your policy fit your operation. Also depending on the auditor.. sometime they will work with you. Thank you so much for the support! We really appreciate it!
Wow, lots of equipment to clean. I really enjoy your channel, it's a must-see every week. Great content, quality, production and especially presentation! Cheers.
Great work guys! I live in north western New Brunswick Canada and we are in a great potato area here as well. It’s good to see the family values working on the family farm. John Wright.
Cleanup is one of the most important processes. Keeps the movement of everyone and process going safely and looks good too. Always love to see you in motion.
Greetings lovely lady, from southern Virginia. Thanks for bringing me along for the potato farming process. I greatly admire your work ethic, (everybody) and your, "ain't nothing to it but to do it" attitude. I love spuds.❤
Thank you molly 😊 that was interesting,,got to keep your equipment clean 😮😉,,luv the safety goggles/glasses they suit you,,all the best from the uk 🇬🇧 👍
Thank you for sharing. All good reasons to buy from Bells Farm, they clean and care for their equipment. Wow, Molly, on your hands and knees, climbing, scraping, power washing, dusting, you really take on the work.
Y’all do a great job, anyone who thinks farming is easy just needs to watch a couple of Molly’s videos to see how hard these wonderful folks work to put food on our tables. Bells Farms ROCK!!!!!
And don't you wish all that cleaning could be done in 16min 17sec! A wise woman, once a farmers daughter, told me that a farmers work is never done. Great video. I always enjoy the bits and pieces that make it all happen.
After watching several of your videos, I have a new appreciation for potatoes. All the work that goes into them it's hard to believe I came buy a 10 pound bag for only $4.
A farmers work is never done. After see how your equipment looks after working and then after you clean up. Big difference. Shows the care and how much of hard work you do. Thank you.
Hi Molly can’t believe how much work you folks put into your operation on a daily basis… And you’re plant shows that again very very impressive how you keep everything so clean and organized.. You are to be commended for your dedication and commitment to your business.. 👏👏👏 If I told you that you have a an amazing body would you hold it against me??? 😂😂😂 Have an awesome night…
Thank you for watching. My husband Shane and I have been watching your videos. We love them. Some of the subtitles are not in English but we still watch and enjoy! Keep up the good work!
This video needs to be shown in classrooms, so kids can see what real work is! Most people don’t and they whine about everything being so hard. 🙄 Thanks for the great video Molly! Once again you all amaze me by your work ethic. ✌🏻❤️🙂
Very thankful your channel exists. Many consumers have no idea what it takes to operate a grower/packer business. It's a shame many family farms are dwindling due to labor costs, fuel, chemicals...etc.Kudos to you and your family for keeping the family farm going!! Have you ever considered cutting floor drains in to capture most of the water rather than sucking it up with the floor machine?
Yes it is a sad thing so many family farms are not extending to the next generation. The floor…. If we could go back in time and placed 10 floor drains in the packing house I stead of 2 that would have helped a lot. We have thought about doing what you suggested for part of the floor. Half of the red equipment gets moved away during the warmer months the and we use that space for packing beans. So we need a regular floor in that part. Always a trick thing to deal with water in the winter. Thank you very much for watching and suggestions ideas!
@@BellsFarming where do you guys get your seed from? And do you have a separate building for the seed when it comes in?? Or do u you use the same building an just disinfect everything?. I usd to be a certified seed grower in nys years ago.
this inspires me to go clean... but that would have me need to walk away from the video, so at a loss and going to let what will bring me more happiness drive my decision.
I am glad you posted this Molly because i was thinking that, to keep the dust down, its imperative to keep the work area clean. A clean machine and a tidied up work station is important. It looks much better. A tip for, in a pinch you can cut up the broken pallets and burn them. Just a suggestion. Have a great rest of the weekend.😊
Hi Molly, l saw Bessy follow you in under the hopper l had to laugh she wants to be where you are so it sounds like chumping for fire wood tomorrow good luck with that another great video as usual you both take care. 👍
Hi Molly , I have to say that I admire your work ethic, you certainly are working hard. Those tators are sure dirty aren't they, I get in trouble if I don't remember to wash them. 😂 Thanks for Sharing your adventures with us. 😊
@@BellsFarming I wish…. $3 bags By us in NY. it’s closer to 5 But we are always grateful to farmers and try not to taking anything for granted Thank you ……
Farm and Ranch life Molly is always the same work just never ends it is always there. and sadly most people who live in cities have no idea what you and Shane and rest of family go though to feed them city folk. I grew up on a 170,000 acre livestock ranch in central South Dakota. We were always weeks behind it seemed. And priorities always changed too. haying first of June gathering of firewood, fixing and putting in new fence, riding fence lines, gathering cattle, horses, corrals cleaning out barns cleaning out old debris from hay corrals building new ones in pasture and then if you had time,... hahah go gather them downed trees,... bring them back and cut into pieces and then split into firewood. And that was them things..... we still had everyday morning chores, feed, gather eggs, change bedding or add new for beds, animals? feed, change water, bring in coal, fill fireboxes,... oh how the lists go on and on.... and if you rode your horse above all grandpa said you rub him or her down give them fresh hay, and oats, make sure they have water... fresh and clean.... always he said show respect to the animals and treat them like you would want to be treated. All this.... before your priority day starts hahaha My respects to you,.... Shane and Bell Farms.
Thank you so much for giving me a small idea of what life would be like on a cattle farm. While reading this I’m picturing the Dutton ranch from yellow stone, but I real life version of it not the tv glamor. I wish I had grown up on a farm, this is the first farm I have worked on. The life of a rancher! I have just started horse riding lesson. I love picturing the life you describe. Thank you for giving me a wonderful image! And thank you for watching out channel
😂 At one point while you were talking about the initial clean up I was wondering what that pile of stuff behind you was….then it moved and I realized it was your dog.😂
@@BellsFarming From the brief time I have been following your channel, you have a decent operation. Perhaps even more so with this video now in your catalogue. If you have a potential buyer on the fence, consider suggesting this video to move a sale into your corner...
Amazing how much residual mud and dust accumulates everywhere. Get yourself a ten inch mud knife/taping knife to scrape under the machines, it's a way better solution than the tool you were using. You guys do such a good job, it's a joy to watch.
Clean up is always the worst job, but it’s gotta be done. But y’all have it lookin good. And you’re right, on a farm you never get caught up on things to do
Surprisingly, you remained pretty clean and dry!🙁 When I saw you were going to be running the pressure washer I was like "Jackpot!" I end up looking like drowned rat after running one! Love the look🤓!
I really enjoy your videos they are a pleasure to watch on a Sunday afternoon. You are always so hard at work. You seem to have a great team. Do you sell your waste as animal feed, or do you compost them.?
Don’t forget that potatoes contain starch that becomes cement if not cleaned regularly. (Think about the steam and potato water after you make mashed potatoes).
Yes, they work great for these kind of projects! Great option if you don’t want to mess with gas. We use a gas pressure washer when we plan on making a mess, or when I’m outside.
11:56 Yes to glasses, was actually concerned there with all the years of pressure washer use I have had and imagining how much solid debris is left in the areas being washed
I've run into tobacco sheds, pickle plants, meat packing plants etc as a truck driver. Many sweet potato shippers like Hams in NC. Does the USDA ever come in to inspect produce packers like the others or is there a different rule for this because of the raw product. Great video. People go into a store and buy a bag of potato's but never stop to think where they come from. Thanks for the nitty gritty view
Hey there, yes about the USDA. We do an inspection annually. Our big buyers require a certain level of food safety protocols. In our case we pack for Walmart and they require the highest level. USDA - GAP (good agricultural practices) thank you very much for watching!
Good to see you cleaning the machines. Did the machines manufacturers advise you about coating you could use to stop the dirt from building up on surfaces? Sometimes I have seen disinfectants used with a candle wax catalyst that makes vegetable handlers easier to clean and helps to sanitise against viruses! Might be worth thought, or if the pressure washes manufacturers recommends or can supply something similar, that might make your cleaning work easier! Good luck mind any dust inhalation as it might have nasties in it! Keep safe.
All good suggestions! This part of the line will be nasty no matter what! Hahah we are getting a new washer for next year so that will change the cleaning routine very much!

Great stuff Molly! Thank you for sharing your journey!! A lot of hard work!! Stay safe and God bless !!!! Eddy
Another great demonstration of how much it takes to put that bag of potatoes, on the store shelf. Always enjoy watching the floor supervisor (Bessy).
It’s fun to see where she pops up. like where’s Waldo, but where’s Bessy. Oh yes she is laying right there haha
Great video. There is alot of unseen work with potato's. I worked on a potato farm 40 years ago when I was just 17 years old. Hard work never hurt anyone. No need for a gym back in 1984 . 😂 still enjoying your video's here in Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you very much
Great to see how much pride you guys take in the cleanliness of your facility 👌
Thank you!
I love the team work, everyone pitching in. The Facility looks great for next years harvest!
Thanks this is just for next weeks bagging :) we will do this many times over the winter while we bag

Also depending on the auditor.. sometime they will work with you. Thank you so much for the support! We really appreciate it!
There is something very satisfying about using a power washer. Nice job Molly, 😃
Yes there is! Instant gratification!
Wow, lots of equipment to clean. I really enjoy your channel, it's a must-see every week. Great content, quality, production and especially presentation! Cheers.
Thank you very much!
A farmers work is never done. Nice clean operation, little girl. Great job.❤
True statement! And thank you

Hahaha so lucky! the cleaning never ends!
I loved watching all that, thank you again Molly for always putting out fun videos
Thank you Darren!
@@BellsFarming Next time I want to help you clean it out and my reward would be any of the potatoes that you throw away
Molly you guys do a great job keep things clean,you guys are hard workers,keep up the great work.
Thank you! It helps when you love your job
People just don't realize how much hard work goes into feeding them and for such low cost.
Cleanup is one of the most important processes. Keeps the movement of everyone and process going safely and looks good too. Always love to see you in motion.
Thank you! Yes a tidy operation is a usually a smooth one!
You guys are so on top of things it is great to see the energy you all have keep up the good work Molly still watching all your videos from wv

Don’t forget that potatoes contain starch that becomes cement if not cleaned regularly. (Think about the steam and potato water after you make mashed potatoes).
Those Greenworks pressure washers are really good IMO. I highly recommend them to be honest.

11:56 Yes to glasses, was actually concerned there with all the years of pressure washer use I have had and imagining how much solid debris is left in the areas being washed
Yes glasses are good! These work great and they are Rx.
Gotta get it done but be careful.
Thank you!
Those floor scrubbers are so satisfying to watch on really dirty floors
Yes they are even more satisfying to operate. Almost as good as pressure washing.
That is hard work but actually satisfying to watch. What brand of camera do you use for your videos please?
I am using a GoPro Hero 11. Seems to be working pretty good. I’m still working on the wireless mic set up.
I've run into tobacco sheds, pickle plants, meat packing plants etc as a truck driver. Many sweet potato shippers like Hams in NC. Does the USDA ever come in to inspect produce packers like the others or is there a different rule for this because of the raw product. Great video. People go into a store and buy a bag of potato's but never stop to think where they come from. Thanks for the nitty gritty view
Hey there, yes about the USDA. We do an inspection annually. Our big buyers require a certain level of food safety protocols. In our case we pack for Walmart and they require the highest level. USDA - GAP (good agricultural practices) thank you very much for watching!
Good to see you cleaning the machines. Did the machines manufacturers advise you about coating you could use to stop the dirt from building up on surfaces? Sometimes I have seen disinfectants used with a candle wax catalyst that makes vegetable handlers easier to clean and helps to sanitise against viruses! Might be worth thought, or if the pressure washes manufacturers recommends or can supply something similar, that might make your cleaning work easier! Good luck mind any dust inhalation as it might have nasties in it! Keep safe.
All good suggestions! This part of the line will be nasty no matter what! Hahah we are getting a new washer for next year so that will change the cleaning routine very much!
Scraping the floor on your knees that is so bad for your knees. Scraper on a broom stick would make it so much easier
Agreed, I was just going for it that day!
