Hi Molly, I'm a retired agronomist, living in Calgary Alberta. Grew up on a fruit and vegetable farm in Ontario, just west of Toronto. Got my degrees in Guelph. I was transferred to western Canada doing field research and managing contract research for Federal regulatory purposes. (the information that is required to register products for use). Did a lot of work for the PGA Potato Growers of Alberta. One project was helping a Masters student do bruising study in potato storage barns, not unlike yours. He had designed some plastic potatoes with a sensor inside that transmitted pressure data from various levels in the pile. As a retired 81 year old I am enjoying farm operations across Canada and the USA from a comfortable seat. Blessings and keep up the good work.
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work! Growing up my dad farmed about 1200 acres in Idaho, we grew potatoes, mint and corn seed. Loved growing up working outside! This channel brings back all my childhood memories of my dad and I who passed away in 2021. Love this channel!
Thank you very much! You are always one of the first to watch my videos and always leave a nice comment! I’m so glad our daily life brings you joy and good memories! 🫶
I'm grew up doing different things toward farming grew up on a dairy farm as a kid an over the years always worded around farming one way or another I'm retired now living in iowa keep up the great videos
Love the videos. My grandmother was a Bell. She was born in Oklahoma but her roots trace to the east. She came from farming but became a rodeo...wild west show... performer, in the 20s and early 30s. From now on Shane and yourself will be called Cuz. Be well.
Molly you are making a lot of new friends on this because you are very easy to like! Best wishes to you and Shane and happy Memorial Day. USN 1971-75 Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club CVA-41
Friend from New Zealand here, just love watching world wide farming. I've found over my decades of farming that water will show you where it naturally wants to run or sit so instead of trying to reroute it un naturally it's best to work around it.
After watching your videos in the last 5 to 6 months I'm amazed how much I've learned! Your a great teacher and influencer! Say hi to Shane for me! A by the way, alot of farmers like the ones in upper New York that have alot of rocks, they have slug hammers that makes it easier to bust out the big rocks!
Hey there! Thank you very much for watching! I’m glad I have been able to teach you some things! Yes I larger hammer would work good. It’s funny I’m still getting a list together of all the things I need in my tractor & truck for field work. Thank you again!
My first job was on a farm, it was a cattle farm We moved 500 head every couple months to a new pasture Another great video Can’t wait to see your hard work pay off
Cattle farm sounds very interesting! I have only seen our friend Larry’s cow farm. Thank you very much for watching and telling me a little about your experience in farming. I wish my first job would have been on a farm!
Hi Molly & Shane! Love the channel watching how you guys farm over there. I’m currently cropping just over 10 thousand acres of wheat and canola in Australia. Keep the videos coming! 👍
I am Todd. I work for county farms. We grow 3900 acres of potatoes in the mars hill area. We also have a farm in limington 145 acres of potato’s and around 300 acres of potatoes in the Rumford/bethel area. Love your videos.and the farm owns the fry plant in washburn.
Oh wow! That’s a lot of acres! I’m sure I have seen I have seen some of your fields when I was in the county! I think I remember hearing that you guys drive your tractors to Bethel from mars hill. Not sure if that is true or not, I would love to come check out the farm sometime when I’m back in the county! Thanks for watching Todd!
@@BellsFarming we drive the harvester and windrower from bethel to limington and back. We haul equipment from mars hill to limington with lowboys to plant in the spring. I stay in limington for the summer to take care of the crop till we dig. Then come home to help harvest. Yes you definitely should come visit the home farm. You can stop in limington anytime in the summer. It’s on skip road in limington. It about 400 acres in one field with 3 pivots. Putting a new one up next week for the 4th.
I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The countryside looks some the same as there,but we are between two mountain ranges. When I farmed I raised sweet corn, green beans, strawberries, boysenberries, wheat , alfalfa and other seed crops. The valley today has lots of grass seed crops, perennial rye, tall fescue, fine fescue, bent grass. Also the largest hazelnut producing area in the US. Some nursery crops, hops, and a few blackberries. So it's fun to see the similarities and differences. Thanks for the videos of farming in Maine!
I can just imagine being between two mountains! Sounds like wonderful farm country! I did not know that about hazelnuts! Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
I grew up working on dairy farms around the area here in western ny . We had 300 milking cows . When the economy fell the farm shut down.. I then worked for Case IH until I decided to become a wrangler out in Yellowstone. After that I decided to help run my family's horse boarding stable and now I run it with my brother.. we board around 36 horses and hold rodeos. We plant our own feilds and make hay for all our horses every year.. it's something I am proud of but soon we will be getting back into beef cows and start a new adventure .. Farming has always been my way of life . Idk what I'd do with out it
Adam your life sounds awesome! I think you should be very proud of all that you are doing, and ready to take on more! I just started ridding lessons this year( never been on a horse before ) and I love it! So much fun. You just forget about everything else while you’re ridding. You will have to leave me some updates on how everything is going! I would love to hear about the horses and soon to be cows! I wish I was a cowgirl!
Fun to watch how much potato farming has changed with modern equipment. I grew up on a potato farm in Caribou, Me in the 50’ and 60’s. Hand picking was the norm. Potato storage was in cellars with a roof, temperature in the cold of Aroostook County controlled by wood stoves. Grading and bagging done by hand. Hard work and the challenges of weather, rocks, wet fields are the same. Keep sending your videos, I enjoy them tremendously. Mel Cote
Hi Molly, great videos. I’ve commented before on how hard you all work. Great. I live in rural New Zealand on a couple of acres and while I’m not farming we are surrounded by sheep, dairy and cropping farms. Interesting to see the differences in farming practices. I lived in CT for a couple of years and visited Maine, a lovely state. Thanks for posting such informative videos. Pete
Hey Pete! Thank you so much for commenting! We really do appreciate it! Rural New Zealand sounds amazing! I have only seen it on the tv! I wish we had more animal farms around us! Thank you so much for watching!
Molly you tell Shane to weld you up a rock 🪨 box 📦 so you don't have to put rocks in my tractor. 😅😅. And slow down on the road you scare me ha ha. Great job another great video ❤.
Thank you, Molly, for filming and then putting these videos together. I'm a city slicker, but I am enjoying watching you and Shane as you share different aspects of your farming operation. Your videos are also informative. I like the personal shots, the shots from inside the cab, and the drone footage. You do a really good job in putting these videos together. And you and Shane work so hard and also work together quite well. Curious question... Who operates the drone? Especially while you are tilling at the same time?
Thank you so much the kind words! I do have fun making these videos! A bit time consuming at times lol. Shane is the drone operator. I haven’t ventured into that yet! Thanks city slicker!
Thank you, Molly, for replying and answering my question. I'm a fan of you and Shane. Perhaps someday, we can also become friends. I have the greatest respect for you and Shane.
Now Shane, you should be proud that Molly would initiate a PDA. It is a great way to start Sunday morning with Molly’s smile on the video. Lucky you to see her smile in person and every day. Thank you Molly.
Another great video Molly. Love watching you in the tractor out in the fields. When I was 14 or 15 I started working on a hay farm I loved it driving all the farm equipment and tractors. It was awesome. ❤
Molly and Shane! Looks like you guys are in the thick of field preparations and it looks like you are enjoying every moment of it! Shane needs to let you kiss him on camera, he’s so funny not wanting to film that. I’d be boasting on camera with my wife! Great video!
Not a farmer here, but love learning and watching your videos. Retired packaging engineer, designed and installed many packaging systems and vision systems (not so much for farms) so this is how I started watching you guys. However, I got sucked in seeing all the aspects of your farm life. Best wishes to you and Shane as you continue to develop your business (even more). Love seeing how self sufficient you are and Shane's many essential skills. I have to think because this channel is so popular, you must get a lot of random "visits". I can see another Magnolia Silos in the future LOL.
Hey Bob! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! We do really appreciate it! We haven’t gotten many visits yet. But then again we aren’t really at the farm and packing house this time of year. Thank you for watching us Bob!
I am an old Iowa farm boy! I grew up on a farm in north east Iowa, and we farmed 1200 acres of corn, beans, and had a small beef cattle operation and farrowing center. I left and moved to south Texas in 1980 and lived in east Tennessee for 28 years. My wife and I thought we wanted to retire in south Florida and spent four years in that toilet and moved back to Tennessee. We live on Mowbray mountain outside of a little town named Soddy Daisy.
Hey there! Now that was a large farm! Thank you very much for sharing your past! I always wanted to work with cattle. Maybe someday. Thank you for watching and commenting. Ps sounds like you are in a good retirement spot in Tennessee!
Hi Molly,, farmer grant here from Minnesota,, took over farm after 32 years military, just me, 150 acres, 100 pasture hay ( for small bales ) 25 acres corn for grinding ( feed to sell ) 25 acres cover crop for neighbors,,having a great time,, - farmin 😎
I grew up around farming. Perused a career in the city. Retired in Florida now. I miss it. Thank you for the farming fix on TH-cam! I enjoy your channel!✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻
Good job Molly. We're a small Certified Seed Potato farm in Aroostook County (70 acres farmland) and we still have a week of planting left. Planting Potato Plantlets and Potato Minitubers are our slowest crops to plant. We don't start planting potatoes until the soil temp hits 50oF at 6am (6" depth) which this year was Saturday May 18, right on target with the 30 year average. We warm up and sprout all our seed before we plant our 24 varieties using a homemade Tuber Unit planter. Jim at Wood Prairie
Jim this sounds super cool! I know we have chatted a little in past videos. I’m curious to know more about the potato plantlets! I still don’t know the whole process of how the first potato is grown from the actual see part. Also can you tell me what varieties you are growing, and about how much of them. 25 is a lot! You can email me if you want to bellfarmsinc1937@gmail.com thank you for all your support! 🚜🫶💚👍🏻
@@BellsFarming Hi Molly, I just sent you an email describing the Potato Plantlet process. We watched your recent video where you were planting an experimental Potato variety. What is its name?
We started our Wood Prairie mail order business 35 years ago (now catalog plus web-store). We sell our Maine Certified Seed Potato crop Farm-to-Mailbox direct to home gardeners and market gardeners in all 50 States. We know how much of each variety we can sell in a year so we grow small amounts - rarely more than an acre per variety - to meet our retail customer demand. Megan and I have handed down the farm to the next generation, so we now we're farm hands working for our son, Caleb.
Good morning Molly, The drone footage was awesome it adds a cool dimension to the video. I don’t farm but friends of mine have 300 acres that they raise cattle on, I help them especially during hay season in return they let me hunt on their property.
Hey there! I think that’s great that you help them during hay season. We have a lot of people who hunt and never ask to help with anything. You are a good neighbor! Thank you very much for watching and leaving me a comment!
I was born & raised on a farm in Pa. Owned 2 farms & rented 2. Totaled about 300ac. After Dad passed I did it myself with 1 Farmall M & 1 Super M. Raised potatoes, feed corn ,wheat, barley, oats, peas, hay. Raised 15,000 meat chickens a year, had usually 30 head of Hereford cattle & a few pigs. Sold all our potatoes to Weis for potato chips. Retired now & really miss being on a tractor.
That’s a lot of work to do! I think about what it would be like to try animals on our farm, but I don’t think we have enough time to bring on anything else. We are totally maxed out. Sounds like a very rewarding life. I hope you are able to enjoy retirement! Thank you very much for watching and commenting! 🚜🚜 I’ll drive the tractor for you:)
Hello I farm in La Grange N.C. I grow 3000 wean to finsh hogs. And 200 acres of grain corn and soybeans. I really enjoy your videos. I like the way all of you work together. Thank you . I know it takes alot of time to do the videos. Have a great day.
Hey Chris! That’s a lot of hogs! Amazing! I have never been on a hog farm. You must stay very busy year round! How long is a pigs life on the farm? And how much do they usually weight when finished? I could really ask a hundred questions about your farm!
Hi there, I have to agree with others your drone shots are quite interesting. Can you operate the drone while you are driving the tractor? Glad to see you are making progress on spring work. We are still wet here in ND. Been held up for 12 days and will take at least four more days to dry out. We produce register and certified sp. wheat, barley and soybeans seed as well as sugar beets on about four thousand acres. It’s all challenging but wouldn’t want to do anything else. Have a great week.!!
Shane is the operator of the drone. I haven’t learned that skill yet. But he can fly it some while he drives, it depends on what he’s doing. I hope things dry out fast for you guys! I’m hoping your seeds didn’t get drowned out from the rain. I imagine seed farming is very difficult!
Thank you Molly and Shane,brilliant as always🤗,loved the drone footage 😊 I've just finished the first cut of silage which took 4 days and this week coming I'm hedge cutting for most of the week 😀 thanks again til next time 👍 UK 🇬🇧
Hey Pete! Awesome on getting your first cutting done! I’m learning a little about that from another channel! Thank you for always commenting and watching! O hope your week is great!!😊🫶🚜👍🏻
Molly(The Cindy Crawford farm girl),I guess there is a lot of preparation that goes into your fields before you start planting your crops??I love seeing your four doggies on camera and they are beautiful doggies 🐕 that you all have(your kids)...❤😊😊😊
Ha! I like that one. Cindy Crawford haha yes the land needs a bit of work to get ready for planting. Lots of fields. I’m so glad you like the dogs! They are the best! Thank you very much for watching and commenting 🐕🐕🐕🐕🚜😁💚❤️
Another great video Molly. Im retired, but i have a 20 acre field in which seed corn or soybeans are planted every other year. I want to try some sweet corn for an acre or so. Thanks again for the video and be safe.
There’s your new average shot vlog pit , that might be a good place for that when you dig out a little more distance Length, lol ❤❤ thanks BigAl California.
Hi Molly and Shane , its always nice to see you guys working any having fun working. We are retired and no longer farming, I trucked for year's ,farming and Ranchin at the same time. My wife and I worked together in the field for years also. We raised a lot of hay ,alfalfa, grass, and grain hay. I never could get my wife to run a baler,😂 She saw what a pain it was sometimes. Ha. Have a Great Weekend. 😊
Hey Steve! Sounds like you did a bit of everything all at once! I really enjoy hearing about other husband and wife working the farm together! Thank you for always watching and commenting!
I love watching anything to do with farming I farmed until age 35 & then worked seasonal for different farmers now almost 70 but I still love farming, keep up the good work.Allan from NB Canada.
Been watching your show. I like gardening. I also watch Wishwell Farms, Broyard Farms and I live in Central PA. TH-cam is more informative to watch than slap stick comedy's on network TV and I also enjoy your personality.
Loved the drone footage. A big difference in how your trees are coming out and the trees here in Pennsylvania. Our hay is ready to bale but just can’t get the weather to cooperate. Farming has different challenges every year I guess. Thanks for sharing your video.
As of today mostly everything is green! We have had great weather the past week and we got some rain today so things should really start to take off! We have all of our potatoes and grain corn planted, and now we are working on the last few plantings of sweet corn!
Have you considered using the gravel from the unused gravel pit to fill in the erosion damage? So nice to listen to smooth music watching a pretty lady farming!
They will do some field maintenance this year over there. Yeah they have to bring some equipment over. I’m so glad you enjoy the videos and the music! Thank you so much for watching!
Hi molly and shane I am from Queensland Australia farm cattle, wheat cereals,mungbeans legumes, sometimes grain sorghum and barley rhodes grass for hay, mix of irrigation pivots and dryland cropping run a couple 7630 john deeres and some smaller ones aswell. R62 gleaner header
My husband farms for wildlife,,, he mowed, disced and planted about 10 acres of corn that is grown for duck hunting. Now he has moved on to mowing which will be for better forage for deer this winter.... very small farming BUT ..
I grew up farming corn and cotton with Dad. The corn was for our cows, chickens and pigs. We always had a large garden which I still maintain today. In the mid sixties we began farming on a larger scale with rice and soybeans. As I was finishing high school Dad decided to quit farming and get a factory job so I went to college and graduated in 1980 as a Registered Nurse. After 43 years in the hospital, I retired in 2023. Turning dirt is still in my blood.
Hey there! Thank you Very much for telling me your story. I come from a family of nurses. My mother and sister both. I hope your garden does great! Thank you very much for watching and commenting :)
Excellent video. Love the drone shots. LOL and Shane's timidity. Woke up to thunderstorms today. Yesterday was beautiful sun and warmth. All headed your way in a day or two. I live on a gravel bed. I can have a lake out front and it'll be gone in 10 min as soon as it stops raining. Again, enjoyed your chatter and experiencing riding along with you.
Another good informative video. I love the fact that you are always smiling. You show that things go wrong, your equipment gets blocked and it’s you that has to fix it, no one to help. I see you didn’t get stuck into it this week. Ha ha. Last video. We just see the product on our supermarket shelves, but you show there is a lot goes into getting it there. Is it hard to grow rocks? You seem to grow them. ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸🚜🫶👍
Hello. I live in Sweden and watch your videos. you have very large fields to work on in Sweden. You explain in a very good way in each video. I'm not a farmer but I love machines and farming anyway. I collect tractors in scale 1/32 😉. keep making videos because i'm checking them out. etc. Bjorn
Enjoy watching farming in other regions. We work about 2,200 acres in N Central Alabama. Cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat, milo. Our corn is tasseling now, beans up, cotton just emerging. Getting hot and sticky down here now! Be that way til October!
Oh wow! Yeah you guys have a much longer growing season! Very cool. That’s a lot of acres!!! I never have gone to Alabama! I hope you guys have a great growing season! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Sure. Sitting here in Freeport Maine - about to till my garden late this year to plant a plile of potatoes! It's only about 1,000 sq feet of space - makin' use of my old 6HP tractor tiller. I planted potatoes once before when we had a bag of sprouting potatoes almost take over my counter - so to make use of them I planted them along the perimiter of my garden to see how they did - they died GREAT, and we had a lot of fun seeing how many we got from 8 old cutup potatoes just jammed into the ground. It went so well I decided that was all I wanted to deal with this year. Great to see you farming in Lewiston nearby, and your great attitide and smile makes your channel a lot of fun to keep up with.
Ha! I love the potato resourcefulness! Don’t let them go to waste, make them multiply 🥔🥔🥔 I hope they do good this year! It appears we will not have a repeat of last spring and summer! Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment! It’s always fun to see other Mainers commenting! 😊🫶
Hello Molly and Shane, As a reaction to your question. I am Stefan and I am from The Netherlands in Europe. I grew up a the dairy farm owned by my parents. The are retired farmers now. I work as a parts manager at a New Holland dealership. I am still very interested in all farming going on and love te see what farmers over the world are doing. Keep up the videos.
Hey there Stefan! Thank you so much for watching! I bet the dairy farm was a great place to grow up! I’m happy you are still involved with the farm world! My had dad had a nice New Holland tractor. I remember when he came home with it from the dealership! He still uses it! He was not a farmer but uses it for projects and wood cutting. We lived in the country. Thank you! 🚜🚜🫶
I was the hired man for a Soy Bean and Field Corn farm. We farmed 2600 acres. We were a JD green operation running the larges JD equipment possible. Soy Beans were Pioneer Seed Beans that we stored on site until the plant called for them. Occasionally they would plant food grade yellow and white. Yellow would go to Frito-Lay and white to elevator that sold to Taco Bell and famine organizations around the world.
Wow!!! Very impressive. Did you do farm work your whole life? We are definitely a JD farm. We have two tractors that are not. But one of them is an antique now, but still in use. Very cool! I bet you had giant silos! Thank you for sharing!
Just our of bed, got my coffee, and now catching up with my favorites in entertainment. Just say that this older man down here in the Smoky Mountains of East TN found this John Deere buried in mud from front to rear, in a place I had no idea existed - even tho I had been there on business twice. So I subscribed and have enjoyed every issue since. Molly, you do not talk like a lot of the others in Lewiston (Loiston). I will follow and enjoy. Do be careful all of you. Jim
Great content, production, quality and especially presentation. What's not to like? I'm green with envy here, missing my youth growing up in farm country in MA. Cheers!
Hi Molly! A Nice 30 + minute drive back to home base. Great drone footage of an irregular sized field and more good information for us armchair farmers. Have a blessed day week. Greetings from Central PA.
I became very happy that you thanks for all of your fans who watching and subscribe you your drone footage are really give a breathing view which is pleasureable and your videos are very interesting you are doing a great job thank for making video i enjoy your videos and i also love your TH-cam channel because you gave response back to your fan
Hey there! Thank you so much for leaving me this comment! I think the drone footage is awesome! We have t had a lot of time to play with it yet, but it gives just an amazing view! We never knew how beautiful the fields looked from above! I really do appreciate everyone who watches and takes the time to leave us comments! You guys really are what makes these videos fun! 🫶🚜💚👍🏻😊😁
Just my wife and myself here dryland farming in central ND. wheat, corn, canola, soybeans, barley, and a few sunflowers in the area, alfalfa and native hay, with cattle mixed in. 44th crop for us. Oh, (: We put rocks on rock piles instead of the bushes! Some of the piles get pretty big(: HA!
Hey there! You guys are a farming couple too! 44th. Crop! Wow that’s really something to be around of! You like I I just throw the rocks wherever hahahaha maybe I should start a wall hahaha thank you so much. For watching and commenting! We have thought about growing sunflowers! Might do that in the near future.
I really enjoyed reading about all the farmers from all over the world in your comments. That was a great question to ask your followers. I've had a rewarding life as an engineer but always thought I would have loved being a farmer.
Hey there! It’s very cool that you read others comments! I’m very lucky everyone is very kind and positive! Farming is very rewarding! It’s hard sometimes, but everything can have its ups and downs. Thank you very much for letting me know you check out the comments of others. And thank you for leaving one yourself! You guys really make this fun! 😊🚜💚🫶👍🏻
At 11:23 when you two were eating lunch, the clouds are amazing! That's why I love spring tillage/planting and mowing hay in early June in Central New York. We have the best skies. And, whatever you did, you look especially great! Shane is a lucky guy.
I loved seeing you and Shane's little "tailgate date." Quality time is a must! I personally would be camera shy myself, so i don't really blame him. You seem to have a great relationship. Im sure it's not perfect. None are, but you guys are great! As far as farming for me, I grew up on a small horse and cattle ranch. But now my wife and I farm a whopping 20 by 30 patch of purple hull peas, a few watermelon, and a few tomato plants! 😁
Hey Phillip! Thanks for commenting. Shane and I are very lucky, we are best friends! I think we got it right with each other! ❤️😊 I’m just getting into horses. Boy are they fun to ride. I think I have a long lost dream to be a cowgirl! Hahah good luck with your garden! Keep me updated!
Good morning ☕️, my family doesn’t farm anymore but it’s my blood, I enjoy your videos. I still have a couple of my old tractors. I’m curious how many acres of potatoes do you plant? And how much sweet corn do you plant? Thanks again for your time and videos.
Hey there! We farm about 150 of potatoes and 150 of sweet corn. We also grow around 150 grain field corn so all in all it’s about 500 acres. Thank you so much for watching and asking questions :)
Molly, what is the backstory with the irregular shaped fields? The great drone footage highlights the challenges maneuvering the turns and setting up your lines. Anyone with OCD would be going crazy in the JD!
So this part of the farm, is mad up of lots of fields. The natural landscape is what has shaped the fields. The guys are farming every flattish area available. That’s why there are so many little extra narrow areas. The places that are wooded between are sharp drop off gullies.
@@BellsFarming Ahh…Topograpy. The bane and boon of every farmer. Got it! Thanks for sharing and keep up the hard work, positive attitude, and great content!👍👍
Ok... First off all !. My crops are under constants supervision during the daytime. I am not sure what to expect in terms of yeild, but growth is fast as we have hot weather here ( in Denmark ), I grow two sorts, and one seems to be taller than the other. I really do hope that my 2 x 3 tomato plants in Capillary Boxes will give me lots of tomatos. They are just outside my office window.
Thanks for the video. I’m sure they add a ton of work to your everyday load. I really look forward to your updates. Mostly retired ( to South Georgia) my farm is about 20 square feet, three tomato plants, two cucumber plants and a patch of fresh herbs. I kind of miss the hustle and bustle of corn and soybean farming in Indiana.
Thank you so much for watching! I’m really glad you like the videos, yes you are right they do all a bunch of work, but it’s fun! And everyone watching makes it worth it! I do enjoy the hustle of farming, and when it’s go time! I hope your garden does well this year! Thank you again for watching and commenting!

Thank you very much! We are getting rain here today! Guess we won’t need to set up Irrigation just yet!
Friend from New Zealand here, just love watching world wide farming.
I've found over my decades of farming that water will show you where it naturally wants to run or sit so instead of trying to reroute it un naturally it's best to work around it.
Thank you!
I am a retired engineer and just love watching strong women working hard in a rough industry. We need you so don’t ever stop.
Thank you very much mark! I appreciate the support!
After watching your videos in the last 5 to 6 months I'm amazed how much I've learned! Your a great teacher and influencer! Say hi to Shane for me! A by the way, alot of farmers like the ones in upper New York that have alot of rocks, they have slug hammers that makes it easier to bust out the big rocks!
Hey there! Thank you very much for watching! I’m glad I have been able to teach you some things! Yes I larger hammer would work good. It’s funny I’m still getting a list together of all the things I need in my tractor & truck for field work. Thank you again!
The scale of the size of that land we are seeing from the drone is awesome! Its massive the fields! Great footage and thank u
Thank you very much!
@@BellsFarming ПРИВЕТ КРАСОТКА ТЫ ЗАМУЖЕМ ИЛИ ЕЩЕ ПОКА СВОБОДНА

We moved 500 head every couple months to a new pasture
Another great video
Can’t wait to see your hard work pay off
Cattle farm sounds very interesting! I have only seen our friend Larry’s cow farm. Thank you very much for watching and telling me a little about your experience in farming. I wish my first job would have been on a farm!

I’m sure I have enough stuff kicking around to whip one up no problem lol. Have a great weekend as well!!
Hi Molly & Shane! Love the channel watching how you guys farm over there. I’m currently cropping just over 10 thousand acres of wheat and canola in Australia. Keep the videos coming! 👍
Oh my goodness! That is so many acres! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🫶
I am Todd. I work for county farms. We grow 3900 acres of potatoes in the mars hill area. We also have a farm in limington 145 acres of potato’s and around 300 acres of potatoes in the Rumford/bethel area. Love your videos.and the farm owns the fry plant in washburn.
Oh wow! That’s a lot of acres! I’m sure I have seen I have seen some of your fields when I was in the county! I think I remember hearing that you guys drive your tractors to Bethel from mars hill. Not sure if that is true or not, I would love to come check out the farm sometime when I’m back in the county! Thanks for watching Todd!
@@BellsFarming we drive the harvester and windrower from bethel to limington and back. We haul equipment from mars hill to limington with lowboys to plant in the spring. I stay in limington for the summer to take care of the crop till we dig. Then come home to help harvest. Yes you definitely should come visit the home farm. You can stop in limington anytime in the summer. It’s on skip road in limington. It about 400 acres in one field with 3 pivots. Putting a new one up next week for the 4th.
I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The countryside looks some the same as there,but we are between two mountain ranges. When I farmed I raised sweet corn, green beans, strawberries, boysenberries, wheat , alfalfa and other seed crops. The valley today has lots of grass seed crops, perennial rye, tall fescue, fine fescue, bent grass. Also the largest hazelnut producing area in the US. Some nursery crops, hops, and a few blackberries. So it's fun to see the similarities and differences. Thanks for the videos of farming in Maine!
I can just imagine being between two mountains! Sounds like wonderful farm country! I did not know that about hazelnuts! Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
Would love to visit New England some day going to Wisconsin and Michigan this fall!
I grew up working on dairy farms around the area here in western ny . We had 300 milking cows . When the economy fell the farm shut down.. I then worked for Case IH until I decided to become a wrangler out in Yellowstone. After that I decided to help run my family's horse boarding stable and now I run it with my brother.. we board around 36 horses and hold rodeos. We plant our own feilds and make hay for all our horses every year.. it's something I am proud of but soon we will be getting back into beef cows and start a new adventure .. Farming has always been my way of life . Idk what I'd do with out it
Adam your life sounds awesome! I think you should be very proud of all that you are doing, and ready to take on more! I just started ridding lessons this year( never been on a horse before ) and I love it! So much fun. You just forget about everything else while you’re ridding. You will have to leave me some updates on how everything is going! I would love to hear about the horses and soon to be cows! I wish I was a cowgirl!
Fun to watch how much potato farming has changed with modern equipment. I grew up on a potato farm in Caribou, Me in the 50’ and 60’s. Hand picking was the norm. Potato storage was in cellars with a roof, temperature in the cold of Aroostook County controlled by wood stoves. Grading and bagging done by hand. Hard work and the challenges of weather, rocks, wet fields are the same. Keep sending your videos, I enjoy them tremendously.
Mel Cote
Thank you very much!
That sounds like a lot of no fun
Hi Molly, great videos. I’ve commented before on how hard you all work. Great. I live in rural New Zealand on a couple of acres and while I’m not farming we are surrounded by sheep, dairy and cropping farms. Interesting to see the differences in farming practices. I lived in CT for a couple of years and visited Maine, a lovely state. Thanks for posting such informative videos. Pete
Hey Pete! Thank you so much for commenting! We really do appreciate it! Rural New Zealand sounds amazing! I have only seen it on the tv! I wish we had more animal farms around us! Thank you so much for watching!
Molly you tell Shane to weld you up a rock 🪨 box 📦 so you don't have to put rocks in my tractor. 😅😅. And slow down on the road you scare me ha ha. Great job another great video ❤.
Hahah I’ll get on the rock box! Thanks you so much for watching and commenting!! 🫶😁🚜💚
Thank you, Molly, for filming and then putting these videos together. I'm a city slicker, but I am enjoying watching you and Shane as you share different aspects of your farming operation. Your videos are also informative. I like the personal shots, the shots from inside the cab, and the drone footage. You do a really good job in putting these videos together. And you and Shane work so hard and also work together quite well.
Curious question... Who operates the drone? Especially while you are tilling at the same time?
Thank you so much the kind words! I do have fun making these videos! A bit time consuming at times lol. Shane is the drone operator. I haven’t ventured into that yet! Thanks city slicker!
Thank you, Molly, for replying and answering my question.
I'm a fan of you and Shane. Perhaps someday, we can also become friends. I have the greatest respect for you and Shane.
Now Shane, you should be proud that Molly would initiate a PDA. It is a great way to start Sunday morning with Molly’s smile on the video. Lucky you to see her smile in person and every day. Thank you Molly.
Hello Molly and Shane From Northwoods Michigan, love the channel, (the sound you made when you threw that rock, lol)
Hahahahaha
Another great video Molly. Love watching you in the tractor out in the fields. When I was 14 or 15 I started working on a hay farm I loved it driving all the farm equipment and tractors. It was awesome. ❤
Thank you very much! I wish my first job would have been on a farm! I got a late start! Haha thank you for watching and leaving a comment!!
Molly and Shane! Looks like you guys are in the thick of field preparations and it looks like you are enjoying every moment of it! Shane needs to let you kiss him on camera, he’s so funny not wanting to film that. I’d be boasting on camera with my wife! Great video!
Hahah thank you always!
Not a farmer here, but love learning and watching your videos. Retired packaging engineer, designed and installed many packaging systems and vision systems (not so much for farms) so this is how I started watching you guys. However, I got sucked in seeing all the aspects of your farm life. Best wishes to you and Shane as you continue to develop your business (even more). Love seeing how self sufficient you are and Shane's many essential skills. I have to think because this channel is so popular, you must get a lot of random "visits". I can see another Magnolia Silos in the future LOL.
Hey Bob! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! We do really appreciate it! We haven’t gotten many visits yet. But then again we aren’t really at the farm and packing house this time of year. Thank you for watching us Bob!
I am an old Iowa farm boy! I grew up on a farm in north east Iowa, and we farmed 1200 acres of corn, beans, and had a small beef cattle operation and farrowing center. I left and moved to south Texas in 1980 and lived in east Tennessee for 28 years. My wife and I thought we wanted to retire in south Florida and spent four years in that toilet and moved back to Tennessee. We live on Mowbray mountain outside of a little town named Soddy Daisy.
Florida, the wasted land. One of the best places in the USA to grow fruit and it is wasted on condos and housing developments.
Hey there! Now that was a large farm! Thank you very much for sharing your past! I always wanted to work with cattle. Maybe someday. Thank you for watching and commenting. Ps sounds like you are in a good retirement spot in Tennessee!
Hi, Molly, I think I've found the farm! Off Riverside Drive? The satellite says someone's been ploughing too!
Haha yes that’s correct! But I’m not sure when the last time the satellites were updated :)
Hi Molly,, farmer grant here from Minnesota,, took over farm after 32 years military, just me, 150 acres, 100 pasture hay ( for small bales ) 25 acres corn for grinding ( feed to sell ) 25 acres cover crop for neighbors,,having a great time,, - farmin 😎
Hey farmer grant! Sounds like a great farm! What a wonderful why to retire! Well not retire but change of pace! Have a wonderful week!
I grew up around farming. Perused a career in the city. Retired in Florida now. I miss it. Thank you for the farming fix on TH-cam! I enjoy your channel!✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻
Thank you so much for watching!! 🚜😊👍🏻💚
Good job Molly. We're a small Certified Seed Potato farm in Aroostook County (70 acres farmland) and we still have a week of planting left. Planting Potato Plantlets and Potato Minitubers are our slowest crops to plant. We don't start planting potatoes until the soil temp hits 50oF at 6am (6" depth) which this year was Saturday May 18, right on target with the 30 year average. We warm up and sprout all our seed before we plant our 24 varieties using a homemade Tuber Unit planter. Jim at Wood Prairie
Jim this sounds super cool! I know we have chatted a little in past videos. I’m curious to know more about the potato plantlets! I still don’t know the whole process of how the first potato is grown from the actual see part. Also can you tell me what varieties you are growing, and about how much of them. 25 is a lot! You can email me if you want to bellfarmsinc1937@gmail.com thank you for all your support! 🚜🫶💚👍🏻
@@BellsFarming Hi Molly, I just sent you an email describing the Potato Plantlet process. We watched your recent video where you were planting an experimental Potato variety. What is its name?
We started our Wood Prairie mail order business 35 years ago (now catalog plus web-store). We sell our Maine Certified Seed Potato crop Farm-to-Mailbox direct to home gardeners and market gardeners in all 50 States. We know how much of each variety we can sell in a year so we grow small amounts - rarely more than an acre per variety - to meet our retail customer demand. Megan and I have handed down the farm to the next generation, so we now we're farm hands working for our son, Caleb.
Good morning Molly, The drone footage was awesome it adds a cool dimension to the video. I don’t farm but friends of mine have 300 acres that they raise cattle on, I help them especially during hay season in return they let me hunt on their property.
Hey there! I think that’s great that you help them during hay season. We have a lot of people who hunt and never ask to help with anything. You are a good neighbor! Thank you very much for watching and leaving me a comment!
Miss .Molly you're a natural great video
Thank you!
I was born & raised on a farm in Pa. Owned 2 farms & rented 2. Totaled about 300ac. After Dad passed I did it myself with 1 Farmall M & 1 Super M. Raised potatoes, feed corn ,wheat, barley, oats, peas, hay. Raised 15,000 meat chickens a year, had usually 30 head of Hereford cattle & a few pigs. Sold all our potatoes to Weis for potato chips. Retired now & really miss being on a tractor.
That’s a lot of work to do! I think about what it would be like to try animals on our farm, but I don’t think we have enough time to bring on anything else. We are totally maxed out. Sounds like a very rewarding life. I hope you are able to enjoy retirement! Thank you very much for watching and commenting! 🚜🚜 I’ll drive the tractor for you:)
It's really funny to me seeing that green nose going fast in the sped up parts. Love the videos. Thank you for all the hard work!
:)🚜💚💚
Hello I farm in La Grange N.C. I grow 3000 wean to finsh hogs. And 200 acres of grain corn and soybeans. I really enjoy your videos. I like the way all of you work together. Thank you . I know it takes alot of time to do the videos. Have a great day.
Hey Chris! That’s a lot of hogs! Amazing! I have never been on a hog farm. You must stay very busy year round! How long is a pigs life on the farm? And how much do they usually weight when finished? I could really ask a hundred questions about your farm!
@@BellsFarming It takes 24 weeks we get pigs at 20lbs and they average 275 when they leave.
Hi there, I have to agree with others your drone shots are quite interesting. Can you operate the drone while you are driving the tractor?
Glad to see you are making progress on spring work. We are still wet here in ND. Been held up for 12 days and will take at least four more days to dry out. We produce register and certified sp. wheat, barley and soybeans seed as well as sugar beets on about four thousand acres. It’s all challenging but wouldn’t want to do anything else. Have a great week.!!
Shane is the operator of the drone. I haven’t learned that skill yet. But he can fly it some while he drives, it depends on what he’s doing. I hope things dry out fast for you guys! I’m hoping your seeds didn’t get drowned out from the rain. I imagine seed farming is very difficult!
@@BellsFarming There is very little water damage, just can’t get the work done that needs to be done. It’s also getting late in the planting season.
Great video, the drone footage was incredible!! I really enjoy the field work stuff. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you Molly and Shane,brilliant as always🤗,loved the drone footage 😊 I've just finished the first cut of silage which took 4 days and this week coming I'm hedge cutting for most of the week 😀 thanks again til next time 👍 UK 🇬🇧
Hey Pete! Awesome on getting your first cutting done! I’m learning a little about that from another channel! Thank you for always commenting and watching! O hope your week is great!!😊🫶🚜👍🏻
Molly(The Cindy Crawford farm girl),I guess there is a lot of preparation that goes into your fields before you start planting your crops??I love seeing your four doggies on camera and they are beautiful doggies 🐕 that you all have(your kids)...❤😊😊😊
Ha! I like that one. Cindy Crawford haha yes the land needs a bit of work to get ready for planting. Lots of fields. I’m so glad you like the dogs! They are the best! Thank you very much for watching and commenting 🐕🐕🐕🐕🚜😁💚❤️
Another great video Molly. Im retired, but i have a 20 acre field in which seed corn or soybeans are planted every other year. I want to try some sweet corn for an acre or so. Thanks again for the video and be safe.
Thank you!!
I Think you do a Great Job, making Videos…and I get to see your Smiling Face.. Thanks. Still Waiting For The Cowboy Hat 😁
Hahah I had one on yesterday!
I didn’t see it…😬
I find the drone footage with this music hypnotic😎
Haha I thought it was pretty chill!
Great video again, this is my favourite channel TH-cam
Thank you so much Tim! Have a great Sunday🌞
There’s your new average shot vlog pit , that might be a good place for that when you dig out a little more distance Length, lol ❤❤ thanks BigAl California.
Very good idea Al! 🫶😊🚜
Morning Mrs Molly… Really appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos I really enjoy them… THANKS 😊
Thank you Tommy! 🚜👍🏻🫶😊💚
Hi Molly and Shane , its always nice to see you guys working any having fun working. We are retired and no longer farming, I trucked for year's ,farming and Ranchin at the same time. My wife and I worked together in the field for years also. We raised a lot of hay ,alfalfa, grass, and grain hay. I never could get my wife to run a baler,😂 She saw what a pain it was sometimes. Ha. Have a Great Weekend. 😊
Hey Steve! Sounds like you did a bit of everything all at once! I really enjoy hearing about other husband and wife working the farm together! Thank you for always watching and commenting!
I love watching anything to do with farming I farmed until age 35 & then worked seasonal for different farmers now almost 70 but I still love farming, keep up the good work.Allan from NB Canada.
Been watching your show. I like gardening. I also watch Wishwell Farms, Broyard Farms and I live in Central PA. TH-cam is more informative to watch than slap stick comedy's on network TV and I also enjoy your personality.
Loved the drone footage. A big difference in how your trees are coming out and the trees here in Pennsylvania. Our hay is ready to bale but just can’t get the weather to cooperate. Farming has different challenges every year I guess. Thanks for sharing your video.
As of today mostly everything is green! We have had great weather the past week and we got some rain today so things should really start to take off! We have all of our potatoes and grain corn planted, and now we are working on the last few plantings of sweet corn!
Thank you Molly and Shane I believe because of your tips I'm on par to double my potato crop this year..
That’s great! Good luck!
I love the smell of fresh turned earth in the morning Shane is my hero have a good Memorial Day weekend
Thank you very much! I love that smell too! And the colors
Have you considered using the gravel from the unused gravel pit to fill in the erosion damage? So nice to listen to smooth music watching a pretty lady farming!
They will do some field maintenance this year over there. Yeah they have to bring some equipment over. I’m so glad you enjoy the videos and the music! Thank you so much for watching!
I like to watch your channel to see your day.
Hi molly and shane I am from Queensland Australia farm cattle, wheat cereals,mungbeans legumes, sometimes grain sorghum and barley rhodes grass for hay, mix of irrigation pivots and dryland cropping run a couple 7630 john deeres and some smaller ones aswell. R62 gleaner header
:)
Molly you & your family are awesome, enjoy your videos so much, ty Steve
Hey Steve! Thank you so much for watching and the kind words!! 🫶
Only helped the neighbours while I was young(14-19). Sure do miss the farm/tractor work.
It seems like a lot of young people have their first jobs helping out at a farm! We hired teens in the summer to pack corn with us :)
Those gravel pits look like an opportunity for the men to get back into old timers motocross
Hahah yeah. I was working on the “old track” field a couple days ago. Thinking about dirt bikes!
It’s amazing farming a field for years and rocks still appear
Yes! They always make their way up!
My husband farms for wildlife,,, he mowed, disced and planted about 10 acres of corn that is grown for duck hunting. Now he has moved on to mowing which will be for better forage for deer this winter.... very small farming BUT ..
Hey it is farming! Don’t short change yourself! 🚜💚👍🏻😊
i watched you over the last month and think your job is incredible , keep up the good work .
I grew up farming corn and cotton with Dad. The corn was for our cows, chickens and pigs. We always had a large garden which I still maintain today. In the mid sixties we began farming on a larger scale with rice and soybeans. As I was finishing high school Dad decided to quit farming and get a factory job so I went to college and graduated in 1980 as a Registered Nurse. After 43 years in the hospital, I retired in 2023. Turning dirt is still in my blood.
Hey there! Thank you Very much for telling me your story. I come from a family of nurses. My mother and sister both. I hope your garden does great! Thank you very much for watching and commenting :)
Been really enjoying your content, i’am not a farmer but learning a lot about your operations 👍🥰🇨🇦
Excellent video. Love the drone shots. LOL and Shane's timidity. Woke up to thunderstorms today. Yesterday was beautiful sun and warmth. All headed your way in a day or two. I live on a gravel bed. I can have a lake out front and it'll be gone in 10 min as soon as it stops raining. Again, enjoyed your chatter and experiencing riding along with you.
Thank you very much for always commenting and watching!!!
I grew up on a small dairy farm in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I really enjoy your videos. Great to watch.
Thank you Glenn! I always wanted to be around cows!
Another good informative video. I love the fact that you are always smiling. You show that things go wrong, your equipment gets blocked and it’s you that has to fix it, no one to help. I see you didn’t get stuck into it this week. Ha ha. Last video. We just see the product on our supermarket shelves, but you show there is a lot goes into getting it there. Is it hard to grow rocks? You seem to grow them. ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸🚜🫶👍
Hahaha thank you! Life is good and everyone should smile more! Rock seem to just multiply! Hahah
Tater lady I'm glad you started this channel for numerous reasons
Thank you very much! Your dog is very cute by the way :)
Hello. I live in Sweden and watch your videos. you have very large fields to work on in Sweden. You explain in a very good way in each video. I'm not a farmer but I love machines and farming anyway. I collect tractors in scale 1/32 😉. keep making videos because i'm checking them out. etc. Bjorn
Thank you very much for watching! I bet all your tiny tractors and equipment are super cool! You probably have an amazing fleet! 🚜😁👍🏻
Enjoy watching farming in other regions. We work about 2,200 acres in N Central Alabama. Cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat, milo. Our corn is tasseling now, beans up, cotton just emerging. Getting hot and sticky down here now! Be that way til October!
Oh wow! Yeah you guys have a much longer growing season! Very cool. That’s a lot of acres!!! I never have gone to Alabama! I hope you guys have a great growing season! Thank you for watching and commenting.
So glad I found this channel, so informative and relaxing to watch, take care.
Molly...it is ALWAYS SUNNY when you are explaining to us! (See what I did there?) 😊
🌞😁🚜
Sure. Sitting here in Freeport Maine - about to till my garden late this year to plant a plile of potatoes! It's only about 1,000 sq feet of space - makin' use of my old 6HP tractor tiller. I planted potatoes once before when we had a bag of sprouting potatoes almost take over my counter - so to make use of them I planted them along the perimiter of my garden to see how they did - they died GREAT, and we had a lot of fun seeing how many we got from 8 old cutup potatoes just jammed into the ground. It went so well I decided that was all I wanted to deal with this year. Great to see you farming in Lewiston nearby, and your great attitide and smile makes your channel a lot of fun to keep up with.
Ha! I love the potato resourcefulness! Don’t let them go to waste, make them multiply 🥔🥔🥔 I hope they do good this year! It appears we will not have a repeat of last spring and summer! Thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment! It’s always fun to see other Mainers commenting! 😊🫶
Hello Molly and Shane,
As a reaction to your question. I am Stefan and I am from The Netherlands in Europe. I grew up a the dairy farm owned by my parents. The are retired farmers now. I work as a parts manager at a New Holland dealership. I am still very interested in all farming going on and love te see what farmers over the world are doing.
Keep up the videos.
Hey there Stefan! Thank you so much for watching! I bet the dairy farm was a great place to grow up! I’m happy you are still involved with the farm world! My had dad had a nice New Holland tractor. I remember when he came home with it from the dealership! He still uses it! He was not a farmer but uses it for projects and wood cutting. We lived in the country. Thank you! 🚜🚜🫶
I was the hired man for a Soy Bean and Field Corn farm. We farmed 2600 acres. We were a JD green operation running the larges JD equipment possible. Soy Beans were Pioneer Seed Beans that we stored on site until the plant called for them. Occasionally they would plant food grade yellow and white. Yellow would go to Frito-Lay and white to elevator that sold to Taco Bell and famine organizations around the world.
Wow!!! Very impressive. Did you do farm work your whole life? We are definitely a JD farm. We have two tractors that are not. But one of them is an antique now, but still in use. Very cool! I bet you had giant silos! Thank you for sharing!
Just our of bed, got my coffee, and now catching up with my favorites in entertainment. Just say that this older man down here in the Smoky Mountains of East TN found this John Deere buried in mud from front to rear, in a place I had no idea existed - even tho I had been there on business twice. So I subscribed and have enjoyed every issue since. Molly, you do not talk like a lot of the others in Lewiston (Loiston). I will follow and enjoy. Do be careful all of you. Jim
Thank you very much Jim! We will be safe! Have a wonderful week! Yes I am not originally from Maine. I grew up in Ohio! 🚜💚😊
Your time lapse farming reminds me of the TV show Street Hawk with his implausibly fast motorbike.
Hahah in reality I’m only going about 18mph hahah
Great content, production, quality and especially presentation. What's not to like? I'm green with envy here, missing my youth growing up in farm country in MA. Cheers!
Thank you very much Rick! 🫶🚜💚
Thank you very much Rick! 🫶🚜💚
Hi Molly! A Nice 30 + minute drive back to home base. Great drone footage of an irregular sized field and more good information for us armchair farmers. Have a blessed day week. Greetings from Central PA.
Hey Steve! Thank you very much!!! I don’t mince the drive :)
I became very happy that you thanks for all of your fans who watching and subscribe you your drone footage are really give a breathing view which is pleasureable and your videos are very interesting you are doing a great job thank for making video i enjoy your videos and i also love your TH-cam channel because you gave response back to your fan
Hey there! Thank you so much for leaving me this comment! I think the drone footage is awesome! We have t had a lot of time to play with it yet, but it gives just an amazing view! We never knew how beautiful the fields looked from above! I really do appreciate everyone who watches and takes the time to leave us comments! You guys really are what makes these videos fun! 🫶🚜💚👍🏻😊😁
Always great to watch
Thank you very much!
Just my wife and myself here dryland farming in central ND. wheat, corn, canola, soybeans, barley, and a few sunflowers in the area, alfalfa and native hay, with cattle mixed in. 44th crop for us.
Oh, (: We put rocks on rock piles instead of the bushes! Some of the piles get pretty big(: HA!
Hey there! You guys are a farming couple too! 44th. Crop! Wow that’s really something to be around of! You like I I just throw the rocks wherever hahahaha maybe I should start a wall hahaha thank you so much. For watching and commenting! We have thought about growing sunflowers! Might do that in the near future.
I really enjoyed reading about all the farmers from all over the world in your comments. That was a great question to ask your followers. I've had a rewarding life as an engineer but always thought I would have loved being a farmer.
Hey there! It’s very cool that you read others comments! I’m very lucky everyone is very kind and positive! Farming is very rewarding! It’s hard sometimes, but everything can have its ups and downs. Thank you very much for letting me know you check out the comments of others. And thank you for leaving one yourself! You guys really make this fun! 😊🚜💚🫶👍🏻
I love these vlogs so much. I learn so much.
Thank you very much for watching!! And commenting !
Lovely Suspension going on there Molly - ❤Xx 🇬🇧
Good morning from Manitoba Canada you have a great day love your videos
Hey there! Sorry for the late reply! Been busy. We had a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much for watching! Have a great week!
750 acres of corn & soybeans in 50/50 rotation in North Central Iowa. 4th generation on our century farm (2014).
Awesome!!! Shane is 4th generation also. That alot of acres! Thank you!
At 11:23 when you two were eating lunch, the clouds are amazing! That's why I love spring tillage/planting and mowing hay in early June in Central New York. We have the best skies. And, whatever you did, you look especially great! Shane is a lucky guy.
I loved seeing you and Shane's little "tailgate date." Quality time is a must! I personally would be camera shy myself, so i don't really blame him. You seem to have a great relationship. Im sure it's not perfect. None are, but you guys are great! As far as farming for me, I grew up on a small horse and cattle ranch. But now my wife and I farm a whopping 20 by 30 patch of purple hull peas, a few watermelon, and a few tomato plants! 😁
Hey Phillip! Thanks for commenting. Shane and I are very lucky, we are best friends! I think we got it right with each other! ❤️😊 I’m just getting into horses. Boy are they fun to ride. I think I have a long lost dream to be a cowgirl! Hahah good luck with your garden! Keep me updated!
Good morning ☕️, my family doesn’t farm anymore but it’s my blood, I enjoy your videos. I still have a couple of my old tractors. I’m curious how many acres of potatoes do you plant? And how much sweet corn do you plant? Thanks again for your time and videos.
Hey there! We farm about 150 of potatoes and 150 of sweet corn. We also grow around 150 grain field corn so all in all it’s about 500 acres. Thank you so much for watching and asking questions :)
Molly, what is the backstory with the irregular shaped fields? The great drone footage highlights the challenges maneuvering the turns and setting up your lines. Anyone with OCD would be going crazy in the JD!
So this part of the farm, is mad up of lots of fields. The natural landscape is what has shaped the fields. The guys are farming every flattish area available. That’s why there are so many little extra narrow areas. The places that are wooded between are sharp drop off gullies.
@@BellsFarming Ahh…Topograpy. The bane and boon of every farmer. Got it! Thanks for sharing and keep up the hard work, positive attitude, and great content!👍👍
Hi Molly and Shane 👋🏻 Thank you 💚 Have a wonderful Memorial Day 🫡🇺🇸 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you my friends 🫶🏻
Hey! We had a great weekend! Thank you very much for the well wishes 🫶🚜💚😁😊👍🏻
Thank you for the regular episodes. I really like watching and learning.
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Molly, we do grain in South Central Ky. We currently do 1600 acres and as of Memorial Day we have 150 acres left to plant, if it stops raining.
Hey there! You’re almost there! Hopefully the weather will start drying up! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!
The goldfish😃looks like it might rain
Love the drone shots! Beautiful country
Hi Molly we are all the way across the country from you guys in Yuma Arizona ok I like your TH-cam channel
What a bumpy ride ,I’m glad you love what you’re doing ..
Ok... First off all !. My crops are under constants supervision during the daytime. I am not sure what to expect in terms of yeild, but growth is fast as we have hot weather here ( in Denmark ), I grow two sorts, and one seems to be taller than the other. I really do hope that my 2 x 3 tomato plants in Capillary Boxes will give me lots of tomatos. They are just outside my office window.
You better keep an eye on the tomatoes! I had some 🐛 eat mine up so quick last year! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
My wife and I went by the farm last weekend but it was too late to stop. The store was closed. We'll get there some time this summer.
Yes we are open later in the summer! I’ll see you guys in august!
Ohh yeah some👍 good farm work getting done ✅
Thanks for the video. I’m sure they add a ton of work to your everyday load. I really look forward to your updates. Mostly retired ( to South Georgia) my farm is about 20 square feet, three tomato plants, two cucumber plants and a patch of fresh herbs. I kind of miss the hustle and bustle of corn and soybean farming in Indiana.
Thank you so much for watching! I’m really glad you like the videos, yes you are right they do all a bunch of work, but it’s fun! And everyone watching makes it worth it! I do enjoy the hustle of farming, and when it’s go time! I hope your garden does well this year! Thank you again for watching and commenting!
"interesting day out here, that's for sure". yes it is......from 13.00 on.......very interesting!
