Another great, infometive video. Framing is so much more than dropping a seed in the ground and waiting for it to grow. There is so much science involved in it. This video taught me a lot. It's very fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate these videos. Best wishes for a very beneficial harvest this year. 😊
I love to watch your method to your process. All hands know what to do and there'e not wasted effort. You're a fast learner. It's not easy driving a big rig with gazillion gears that requires a whole to of hand - brain corridination. Growing and packing to multiple individual orders. So many moving parts to the family farming business. I love the no waste cycle of farming. Oh, and not just a typical 9 - 5 with overtime pay job. Great podcast for us city 9 - 5 folks. Thanks!
I hope Shane realizes he best be good to you ! Lol! A hard working ,good hearted women who can Drive An Unsynchronized Truck ! You will never need to depend on someone to take care of you! My girls know more about mechanical things than most guys do today . Farmers are good folk ,hard working ,self sufficient and honest .The backbone of our Country !
It is great to see Shane & Molly work so well together. It looks like potatoes for fry’s for every one of the big fairs in Maine. A good accomplishment for the farm for years of business. Great to see the hard work needed to keep every thing clean.
I just found your channel and quickly subscribed when I watched how well your team worked together and backed each other up with the various tasks. While no team is always perfect, you've clearly created an environment where the people feel valued. I can tell you guys are serious dog lovers as well, otherwise Betsy wouldn't be able to sleep in the busiest spot on the floor;-) I look forward to learning more about sweet corn and potato farming, along with the many other things that fill your day.
🥔s galore, I love it. I never knew 🍅s came in those colors too, I've only seen the traditional red, green and yellow ones. Another great video M & S(Molly and Shane), I'm loving this Channel. Much respect from Tucson, AZ
Did good at the shifting. 4th, and 5th reversed pattern. Act like there’s a egg between your foot and throttle pedal. Match speed to shift. You did good. Me, over 2 million miles in a semi. Love your videos. Southcentral Kansas.
Even with all that equipment, it's amazing to see how much labor is involved in everything (like bagging potatoes). It's easy to see why it's a challenge to be profitable in farming.
Some farmers are. What these guys do is pretty labor intensive. As is dairy farming. But row grain farmers have it really easy! Anymore, it's almost all push-button and automated. They work really hard for 4-months a year or so and the rest it basically maintenance and waiting for spring...
Molly, We run ten speed Peterbuilt trucks too. We tell our drivers only use the clutch to start out otherwise don’t use it. When up shifting drop the rpm 500 rpm and shift. When downshifting reve up the rpm 500 rpm then shift. Shane can explain it. My secretary drives truck for me during beet harvest, short handed on help, she does a good job too. Good video.
Molly and Shane, you are awesome and run a very clean operation. I picked up some potatoes the other day from the store and they sucked wish I lived closer to you guys so I could get some real potatoes. Molly you do a great job on the videos love them ❤❤❤.
Hey Molly. Another great look at the workings of a farmers life. Long hors and a lot of hard work. Bessie got close up on camera today, and as always plenty of pets and attention from the crew. Y'all have a safe and productive week.
Looks like a productive Sunday on the farm! Packing corn and potatoes for the fairs must keep you super busy. Thanks for sharing the behind-the-scenes look!
Nice driving. Not used to seeing someone use the clutch after first gear. I was trained to shift gears without the clutch. It's an art.... Well done..... :))
Hi from the UK. your channel is great and I have enjoyed watching all your video's that have been very informative to me. Have watched framer in the fields over here ripping , discing & ploughing but never really knew what they were doing when they were ripping the field. Your video's have answered a lot of those Questions. But one Question I have to ask you Molly all those RPC's you fill and send to the stores Are they returned to you guys for reuse or do you have to use new one's each time. Keep up the great work. Shane is a very lucky to have a wife like you who is willing to muck in with anything that needs to be done.
You clean up after every job … that’s new to me i never realized that .. the four letter word is work work work. My prayer is GOD watch over my family and keep them safe and healthy..
Great video Molly. I wore your T-shirts the last few weeks and I’ve had comments on them if I knew somebody in Maine. I told them no and I told them to look at your UA-cam channel. I hope they will have a great day, South Carolina.
Once again Molly and Shane , thank you for taking me along on the ride . You have in many ways captured my life on video that is only a memory today . So much work is involved , the little details that take time but are critical in providing a top grade food product . One distant 3000 mile away observation , in your corn sort line do you need a second conveyor so that when the first person culls a corn ear the second or third person never has to look at it a second time . In theory , the fill end of the conveyor would be full , the cull conveyor would be empty as the process goes along the cull conveyor is filled and at the end of the start conveyor would be mostly empty dumping into the waste bin . Just saying , I love going for the ride . Oh by the way , you are not a bonafide truck driver unless you have the Jake Brake on . If you know you know . LOL All the best to you and the crew .
I could visit and ask questions for hours but out of respect for your time , I will leave you with this thought from an ole timer I used to know in bringing a conversation to an end , I have work to do and you should have ....
@@danielhathaway6000you what I have been thinking about for the waste. To put some kind of channel/divider on the back side of the to make a lane for the cull. We talked about adding a second waste conveyor many many times for that exact reason. We just haven’t done anything about it. There was a time when we would throw the cull off the conveyor, but then it was just too much mess to clean up. I’m so glad that the videos are capturing and highlighting a lot of the things that you did your whole life. We think of you often! Thank you so much for all you support and comments🫶🫶😊👍🏻
Who gets to drive that nice lookin red Pete? I wanna see you drive that one, Molly. Come on Shane, take her out in that! Lol. I have no doubt you’ll figure out that shifting. Definitely more challenging with a non working tach. I was a fairly long time before I wasn’t constantly looking at that. 👍
😁Hey , shift like a pro One potato Two potato GO. 🥰Its so easy when you learn the RPM notes the engine makes. When you have enough practice you can upshift without using the clutch. Just the way I did it for many years. Great video Thanks
Hi Molly and Shane, I am totally amazed at all the work that you all get done in a days' time. I would like to know how the indigo tomatoes do at the sale? I really do love your videos, I learn a lot from them and I watch them over and over again! 😀😀
Have you thought about a conveyor under the polisher and sponge table to continually carry everything away to a tank of some sort. I work on a cucumber operation for 5 years and had similar issues at the sorting shed. The farm I was on grew 4000 acres. We were one of 4 farmers growing the same amount of acres. We floated the cucumbers, but the dirt and vines was the biggest issue before they got to the sorting belts. Love you video's.
Yes that’s an idea! We are getting a destoner that will float the potatoes this winter. So hopefully that will take care of a lot of the dirt. When we are u loading directly from the field there are always more dirt and vines. Sounds like you did a lot of farming!!! That’s a huge amount of acres!
Thanks for another great watch Molly, what a fantastic life ( hard work it is I can see) you have there, keep them rolling out please, a really good watch even here in the uk too..
Another great video Molly, never would guess you just started youtube last year. Just as good as the other youtube farmers I watch that have been doing it for years.
Great driving. Wind that puppy out a bit more like Shane said. I’m definitely impressed with your driving though! Just be glad you’re not driving one of those newer diesels, I do, they suck haha. That old Pete is a gem.
Hey, you're driving the manual Pete!! You'll get your timing down where you only use the clutch when you start and stop. Getting the timing right to shift, and what gear to be in at what time is tough to wrap your brain around at first, but it's one of those things that when you get it, you get it. It's just an epiphany you get one day. Great job!
Great job shifting Molly! Not always the easiest thing to learn. I remember being taught when I was a kid and every time I missed or ground a gear I got punched in my arm. Made me learn quickly lol.
molly darlin, fyi from a guy that drove truck 35 yrs ya dont have to double clutch trucks any more in fact once ya get used to driving ya dont even half to use the clutch at all just stopping and going im amazed there is no jake brake on that truck makes life so much easier i started on a 55 international 6cyl gas with a5 and a 3 way tandem dump that you had to double clutch would have ben fun for you keep up the good work
Hey Cedric! Yeah I figure once I get the hang of it I’ll be able to just slide into the gears. The RPM gauge is not rally Working correctly currently, so that is making it just a little challenging to learn :) thank you!
Hi Molly, the wife finally finished our garden last week, potatoes were last out, she dug them by hand from her tractor scoot, which is a steel tractor seat on a little four wheel cart worked well saved her back and all other aching parts of her body. We ended up with about 50 pounds of spuds, not terrible for impromptu planted potatoes. Dave D.
Great job grabbing those gears Molly.Try a few Heirloom tomatoes next year Cherokee purples or German Johnstons big flavor and great on tomatoe sandwich , white bread , mayo , tomatoes salt and pepper. What most farms kids ate for lunch years ago in the south. If they will grow up north not sure about that.If you take a sprayer wit 1 gallon of water with a teaspoon of Epsom salt in it spray every morning. Fights blossom rot , fruit set better, you use on most vegetables great on peppers too.
Molly, it seems like only a couple of weeks since the potatoes were planted, and now you’re bagging chefs. For some reason, the French fries at fairs taste extra good. We buy small potatoes for home use these days, used to be B’s at some farms. “Diet” potatoes. Love your videos.

It is surprising how fast potatoes grow in just few months after planting. Thanks for working so hard to provide us a
food supply.
Gotta love that in the middle of the hubbub, somebody stops to spoil Bessie a little. Thats a good place to be. Todd the retired trucker.

Can’t stop watching Bessie and her observational role😂
Loved watching the prep’ing then the picking, packing. Great footage

Good job in the truck Molly. You've got all the basics. Downshifting can be a challenge.

Monday morning with Molly, the week's off to a good start.
Even with all that equipment, it's amazing to see how much labor is involved in everything (like bagging potatoes). It's easy to see why it's a challenge to be profitable in farming.
Great video, I didn’t realize how much work is involved in growing and packing potatoes and corn.😊
Farmers are the hardest workers in America.
Some farmers are. What these guys do is pretty labor intensive. As is dairy farming. But row grain farmers have it really easy! Anymore, it's almost all push-button and automated. They work really hard for 4-months a year or so and the rest it basically maintenance and waiting for spring...
Yes farmers are the backbone of the country
Hello Molly and Bells Farm!! It is a beautiful day! Enjoy! ;)
Bessie gets love and treats all day.
She is the backbone of this place. She makes everyone happy and in a better mood :)
Good job on the shifting Molly! Your a natural!
awesome job M,olly Shane and crew always look forward to seeing your videos. take care be safe have fun it is what life is about!!.
Molly,

Again THANKS for great bells farming video Just think how many people you all make happy 💯local fairs French fries 🥔 0:03
Excellent operation, great video. Clean is good. 👍
mol grabs gears with 2 fingertouch ... good work mol... good teacher shane!!
😁👍🏻👍🏻
Pretty little ducks and chickens Nothing like fresh new potatoes!
Not bad for your first time in that truck. Once you get a feel for what the truck needs/wants and the more you drive it, the better you'll get.
Another great video show your hard work keep it up. Americans need a lot of potatoes and corn.
Great job molly! Welcome to driving a roadrunner and double clutchin! Just takes practice and being comfortable and not getting nervous.
Never watched your channel before ,you guys all work so hard !
Thank you for watching :)
I'm an old retired guy that just found your channel, I live in Wiscasset, but if I was closer I'd work on your farm for free.
Your business is like a well oiled machine, everyone knows their job and they do it well! Thanks to you and Shane for the videos!
Looken neat in the seat of that big truck. 👍

Nothing any better than fresh cut French fries ❤️ !! Good video 😃😘

Nice light hand on the gearstick, Molly! It always makes shifting easier.
Thank you Molly Shane and crew,,busy busy busy,same here in the UK 🇬🇧 not enough hours in the day,,brilliant as always 😀 👍

Awesome job shifting. Great job!

Way to go Molly. Good shifting!

Awesome video Molly. Very educational. You have a great group of employees. Until the next one.
🤜🤛
Having both in one day sure shows how much goes into processing tatters vs the corn. Thanks for sharing all the hard work with us. - cheers.
Molly, there is a lot of "feel" involved in shifting the manual transmission of a big truck. You will get it.
Potato prepare machine is nice. Nice farming.

Morning Molly.... Planting is going well.
Very good! I will want some updates!
molly darlin, fyi from a guy that drove truck 35 yrs ya dont have to double clutch trucks any more in fact once ya get used to driving ya dont even half to use the clutch at all just stopping and going im amazed there is no jake brake on that truck makes life so much easier i started on a 55 international 6cyl gas with a5 and a 3 way tandem dump that you had to double clutch would have ben fun for you keep up the good work
Hey Cedric! Yeah I figure once I get the hang of it I’ll be able to just slide into the gears. The RPM gauge is not rally
Working correctly currently, so that is making it just a little challenging to learn :) thank you!
Let her drive how she wants. There's nothing wrong with double clutching.
Hi Molly, the wife finally finished our garden last week, potatoes were last out, she dug them by hand from her tractor scoot, which is a steel tractor seat on a little four wheel cart worked well saved her back and all other aching parts of her body. We ended up with about 50 pounds of spuds, not terrible for impromptu planted potatoes. Dave D.
Like a well oiled machine is your packing operation! Rest when you guys can Molly. Good stuff!
Oh I’m looking forward to some rest! 😴
What a beautiful facility Bells farms up in maine!!
Great job grabbing those gears Molly.Try a few Heirloom tomatoes next year Cherokee purples or German Johnstons big flavor and great on tomatoe sandwich , white bread , mayo , tomatoes salt and pepper. What most farms kids ate for lunch years ago in the south. If they will grow up north not sure about that.If you take a sprayer wit 1 gallon of water with a teaspoon of Epsom salt in it spray every morning. Fights blossom rot , fruit set better, you use on most vegetables great on peppers too.
Thank you for the tips! I will have to try some next year.
Molly, it seems like only a couple of weeks since the potatoes were planted, and now you’re bagging chefs. For some reason, the French fries at fairs taste extra good. We buy small potatoes for home use these days, used to be B’s at some farms. “Diet” potatoes. Love your videos.
The diet potatoes are very good! I love the B’s too. Thank you
giant gourami fish and rabbit can eat fresh corn fruit silk just let you know and peace be upon you
Don't you take a day off for yourself, everybody needs a day of rest,you got to stop and smell the daisy's and enjoy the world around you.
