Have often wondered about the supply story of potatoes from planting to packaging/shipping. This is a fascinating YT channel, glad I subscribed. Great content, quality, production and especially presentation! Cheers.
I wish they would come out faster hahah then we would have time to do some other things in the winter! Haha oh well. Having to many potatoes is a good problem to have :)
I used a Spudnik cellar hog at my farm with an extendable conveyor . Always loved the Spud avalanche . LOL yes the final cleanup of the shed always meant some shoveling . You guys have got this process dialed in for sure . Your soil is very forgiving for washing . My place had a volcanic sandy loam , very easy to wash . Good content and great editing . Enjoy your attention to the details .
I am so amazed at the quantity of potatoes and how you guys have it down to a science. Keep up the videos. They are enjoyable to watch. Thank You! Dwight
Very cool! I’m always a big fan of your content Molly, and I got my Bessy fix. It amazes me the volume of product you deal with and I believe you said that you guys are a smaller operation - comparatively I mean in size. Wow that is astounding! I like how you guys have diversified as well, you don’t just farm potatoes. Well, I wish you and Shane all the best till next time.
Thank you so much for this comment! I’m glad you enjoy the channel. Yes we are like a “large scale - small family farm” making it happen! Bessy is going to be the star of this channel! Your comment has inspired me to do a video just about bessy. We do have other dogs. But bessy is Shane’s dog and she comes everywhere with him. She has so much personality. Coming soon- a day in the life of Bessy
Yes Jim, good point! Haha we haven’t had much time to work on the building in the last two week. I do have another video coming out with a little more of the build soon. Thank you again for watching
Thank you Molly, for another great video. It seems that it is a fairly labor intensive process to open up a bin, but I cant think of any new technology that would make it easier and still stand up to the pressure of that much weight. It just shows that where our food comes from is not without a labor of love. Keep showing us that beautiful smile, young lady.
Your warehouse is a mind blower. Doing my part! I have my potato for breakfast every morning. I usually have a small piece of pork chop with it. Keep up the good work, potato farmers. I try to grow a few in my garden but never enough.
New to your show. This episode is the newest I’ve seen but love them all. You’ve got one heck of a farm, and I love how you guys work around your dogs, so family like!
Thank you for joining us! We love this farm. And work so hard to make it what it is. The dogs are great! Bessy is becoming a little star on the channel! 🐕
Oh cool! Well next time you are in town come by and get some taters! Thank you for the compliment on how we run the farm. We really take a lot of pride in being farmers. The Bells have worked so hard to be where they are today.
It's always interesting to see how our nation's food is produced. I have affection for all farmers based on my life experiences. Working on dairy and produce farms in my 1970's youth introduced me to descent, honest, harworking people (farmers/employers) who taught me so many valuable life lessons. Those experiences shaped my life and the friendships remain to this day.
I've watched alot of Farming videos. I was raised on a Michigan dairy farm. Had chickens, Pigs, with other animals. It's pretty cool to see and hear of others ways of farm life. Hope Shane safe in that container? OSHA here in Michigan fronws that..😮.be careful...
I find your channel very interesting. I'm from Idaho and have seen potato farming a lot, but the family farms are about gone here and a huge operations. Nice to to see the smaller family farm way of doing it. I like your way better.
Interesting to see how potato farming is done today, as a young guy still in HS I lived in Aroostook county, I worked for the farmers nights and weekends during school season and all summer when off school. $2.50 an hour and that was pretty good pay for 1970. Kept me in spending money and I was able to buy and maintain a vehicle. I liked farming and considered making it a career, however at that time smaller farmers were being crowded out and it made it less appealing so I moved a little south and got into the logging business...now that's dying but I m retired and it's someone else's problem now. Thanks for bringing us along 😊
Hello there Beautiful Lady!!! Man your channel is really growing fast…. congratulations on your success and remember what I told you…. Have a great night 😊
You know it's not about the potatoes right? Although it is interesting you are the key to this channel. As cute as you are noooooone is that interested in potatoes. It's you and I'm not being creepy. It's nice to see good people doing good work.
They go all over. Recently we have been selling the big tote bags to a farm that repack and takes them to Boston market. We also pack for market basket grocery stores in New England.
I hauled potatoes out of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Alabama and Florida over my 30 years of trucking. A lot of those places also grew onions. Have you guys ever grown onions or is there some reason not to where you farm?
how good are the prices for your cereals and potatoes ? over here in the uk wheat prices are very bad around what we were getting in the 1980s and fert prices are have gone though roof hope things are better for you. trevor
I am officially caught up on watching all of your videos! I grew up on a "baccer" farm here in eastern NC. Enjoy learning how folks grow and harvest different crops in different states. Keep the "tater" content coming!
@@BellsFarming No longer watch regular TV. This kinda stuff is my entertainment nowadays. Everyday people doing everyday stuff that makes the world go round. lol!
Great video thanks for sharing god bless everyone be careful working around slippery areas I slipped yesterday and messed up my back and leg I can barely move 😢 I was thinking the other day when it snowed if I was a potato farmer I wouldn’t have to worry about food if I was snowed in I’d have a barn full of potatoes 😂
So sorry to hear about the slip! I slipped the other day outside walking the dogs and hit my arm pretty hard. Nice bruise. Rest up! And yes if there was ever a serious situation that happened we would be all set for food! Haha
Hello there - I have a few questions :) 1. Why do you store the potatoes ? 2. Do you sell them all over the country ? 3. How long has your family been doing potatoes ? 4. Do you have a local stand or farmers market you do ?
Hey there! 1- because we got lots of them and potatoes keep really well. 2- we sell mostly to the new England states. 3- Shane’s family has been growing potatoes for around 100years 4- we have a retail store at the farm packing facilities that we sell out of. Thank you!
Dad built potato storage before I was born in the late ‘50s. It didn’t work well because of our high water table. But it’s all gone now and 50 acre buildings are there now.
Very interesting. Would love to sell you some bags for packing. We can handle any of your bags needs. And our bags won't fail in line. Would be delighted for an opportunity.
From Australia. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I am in shorts and tee shirt eating a nice juicy California Navel Orange, it's only 88.9F today, a bit milder than normal for this time of the year.
If you "dog eared" the bulkhead boards they would be a lot easier to remove and install, but still be strong enough to hold them in. The ends would look like the top of a yard fence - like this.. /TTT\
If you look closely the bulkheads are numbered with orange paint, normally I take the time to put them where they go, but since they are all “close enough “ I didn’t bother this year, so they came out more difficult then normal. Next fall I will be putting them where they go I think, that was more difficult then it had to be .
Great video once again! So I’m in idaho and I think Maine has the same growing season. What month do you guys start planting new potatoes? Do you grow a starter first or just take a sprouting potato and plant them? I can’t plant my garden in the beds until end of May, early June. Thanks!
We start planting end of April early May. The way we plant potatoes is with potato seed. That means it’s a piece of a potato with an eye on it. They are not sprouted. The potato is cut into small pieces and then planted. 💚
@@alphaguy54 hey I have an Instagram account where you can send messages so they don’t need to be on the videos if it’s not related. The page name is bellsfarming.
That’s a lot of potatoes! Can you talk a little bit about the environmental systems and what temperatures you try to keep the buildings at and how that’s accomplished?
I struggle to keep my garden potatoes for the winter season in a cool place I can’t imagine having my livelihood at risk. I would starve. I was a grain farmer back in the day and I know the tricks for storing grain I imagine there are hard learned tricks for spuds.
@@robertgessert645 yeah the Bells like all farmer have good years, great years, and bad years. We have been lucky enough to have a lot of great years since I have been around. I imagine back in the day when times were much harder, and the crop was a lot smaller there was a lot more risk to be able to pay make a profit. I’m sure a lot of small farms have years when they make enough just to keep farming, and not real profit.

Awesome Rick! I’m so glad you subscribed too! Thank you for the compliments! More cool stuff to come:)
Who doesn't love a potato landslide. It is surreal how quickly the storage spaces empty compared to how long it took to fill them. Cheers!
I wish they would come out faster hahah then we would have time to do some other things in the winter! Haha oh well. Having to many potatoes is a good problem to have :)
I just realized your in Maine I am going camping there this summer excited to see the country!
That is very cool!

Hey there! Sorry it took me a bit to answer your comments! Thank you so much for watching. Where are you farming?
When I worked on fishing boats I used polypropylene gloves. Thin and effective😉 Girl git you some gloves! Nice job and keep up the good work.
Haha I will try and keep those hands warm :)
i like to watch those guy's work. there like well-oiled machines
I agree! Ray and Shane work very well together
Very interesting thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Good job Ray and Shane taking that bulkhead down. Thanks for posting.
They make it look easy!
Very interesting process. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you James for watching :)
I am so amazed at the quantity of potatoes and how you guys have it down to a science. Keep up the videos. They are enjoyable to watch. Thank You! Dwight
Thank you Dwight! Theres a lot more potatoes to bag. Aka lot more potato videos 😁
I am impressed by the high level of production. I did not know that potato farms were so
productive.
Thank you. I can’t speak for all potato farmers. But we really pout the work in start to finish! 💚🥔
Thank you, Molly. More people will understand the process behind the bag of potatoes they buy at the market, and how hard you work.

So cool!! Just a reminder for us, while you're building the storage facility, you also have a farm and business to run!!! Cool stuff!!
Yes Jim, good point! Haha we haven’t had much time to work on the building in the last two week. I do have another video coming out with a little more of the build soon. Thank you again for watching
Nothing like a bit of hard work . Loving the video's here in Ireland 🇮🇪 😊
Thank you Jim! 💚😊
Liked seeing the updated on the emptying of the bins, looking forward to an update (with weather permitting) of the quonset hut building project.
Thank you! Coming soon!
Cool too see how its done in the potato house great videos. 👍🏻 ❤.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Although I am new to the farming world. These are some of the best people I have ever met! Honest and hardworking!
I've watched alot of Farming videos. I was raised on a Michigan dairy farm. Had chickens, Pigs, with other animals. It's pretty cool to see and hear of others ways of farm life. Hope Shane safe in that container? OSHA here in Michigan fronws that..😮.be careful...
OSHA hahahahah. Luckily family farms w 10 employees or less are exempt from what i understand. We still try not to get hurt though haha
This box looks pretty safe to me. A lot better than standing on a pallet lol. 😁👍🏻 thanks for watching!
@shanebell9589 lol yeah I know OSHA is good for some things but can get carried away with others!.
@@BellsFarming oh goodness.. a pallet.. been there done that before. But I was younger.. Younger and make of steel.. tho I thought then anyway.
@@ronaldfeuerstein435 hahah yes I can relate!
Great videos... I had no idea what was involved with Potato farming.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad I was able to teach you about it
very interesting hmm hard work hard life thanks for the video great channel
Thank you! It’s a very rewarding life :)
Fascinating. I was wondering why the potatoes didn't all come rushing down in one big avalanche. Are there air ducts all the way along?
Yes they are
I think the Discovery channel should do a story on your operation try and stay warm later girl.❤️😎🇺🇸
Wouldn’t that be something!
Thank you for sharing wow quite a process your family has made for handling potatoes Well done
Lots of experience! These guys have this potato thing down! Hahah
never thought I would find potatoes so interesting
I’m glad you do! Thanks for watching
You have excellent videos. It’s really interesting learning about everything that goes into raising potatoes. There’s only beef cows around here.
Thank you very much! I like cows :)
Congratulations on the 15,500 subscribers. That’s really good for only 4 months or so you guys been doing TH-cam.

Nice to see Inspector Bessie on duty. Does she like potatoes? 😅
We couldn’t do anything without her hahah. She likes them ok. Her Mother Denali loves to eat potatoes! She comes to the farm often too.
Love potatoes. Interesting and educational stuff, by a attractive potatoe lady.
Thank you! I love the potato lady references:)
Mollie you are tater made and perfect for the job i love watching maybe you can show how you get seed taters ready for sale and planting
Thank you! I feel like I was born to be a farmer! I’m just late to the game. I will be showing all kinds of that stuff. Thank you for watching !!
I hauled potatoes out of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Alabama and Florida over my 30 years of trucking. A lot of those places also grew onions. Have you guys ever grown onions or is there some reason not to where you farm?

Looks like you all have a pretty smooth operation there, what variety of potatoes do you grow?
We grow mostly Norwis. We also grow a yellow variety. We kinda switch the yellow variety up to try new ones every few years.
What purpose do the corrugated culvert play in the storage bins ? Great video .
Hey there I am going to be covering that in a video very soon. Short answer. They provide air flow.
Looking Gorgeous xx
I have already worked for 3 mounths in the underground mine with a shuttle loader (scoop); it's a similar working spot but with potatoes. 😀
Oh cool! Now I’m curious about what they look like- google!
Amazing how many potatoes you harvested!

Hi , Who buys the hundred pound touts ? Another great video .
Right now they are being sold to another farm who does re pack- they are kinda like a potato broker. So they could end up anywhere really.
great content! there could be alotte of mashed potatos MS Molly!!🥔😎
Thank you for watching again!
👍🏻
Dang look at all those potatoes. Just think of all the potato salad I could make with that 😋
Molly, do you rinse the potatoes down to remove some dirt, or to make the potatoes adhere to each other so they don’t roll away?
You mean in the bin? He does it so they slid into the bucket better, and it helps with the dust!
@@BellsFarming Thank you. I did mean in the bin. They were being hosed down between pick ups.
WOW! Not gonna lie, I thought there would be a lot more pressure against the bulkhead when he opened it up.
Yeah, I was kinda surprised at the little amount of potatoes that rolled out too!

How long ago were those potatoes stored in that area? Didn’t know how long they could keep.
We harvested these potatoes in October. They will be good well into spring- early summer. Just in time to start digging the. Next crop.
Puling those bulk heads made me nervous!! Lot of weight behind them.
