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! 👍
Been watching your show. I like gardening. I also watch Wishwell Farms, Broyard Farms and I live in Central PA. RUclips is more informative to watch than slap stick comedy's on network TV and I also enjoy your personality.
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
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
We do 2500 acre's north east Ohio lot of moving like y'all almost done planting corn is done like 40 acres of beans on to side dressing n spraying God bless be safe
Thank you for telling me, I grew up in north east Ohio. We are almost done with sweet corn plantings few more plantings. Will be side dressing potatoes in another week or so
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!
Thanks everyone that has served and is serving now for my country thanks, BigAl California.nice , you could start the hall of farming wall, thanks BigAl California.
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 ❤.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!!😊🫶🚜👍🏻
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 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 :)
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. ❤
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 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 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!
Behind my apartment is a spot of lawn that is maybe 8 feet by 10 feet. I should have you come till it. Oh, I live in Utah. I hope that isn't a problem. =]
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! 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 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.
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 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:)
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!
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 ..
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.
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!
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.
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! 🫶
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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! 🫶🚜💚👍🏻😊😁

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 :)
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!

Would love to visit New England some day going to Wisconsin and Michigan this fall!
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 :)
All the footage from the drones was amazing.
I love seeing the fields from above. It’s so new to us too!
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!
You sure get a lot of work done Molly.
Thank you very much!
Behind my apartment is a spot of lawn that is maybe 8 feet by 10 feet. I should have you come till it. Oh, I live in Utah. I hope that isn't a problem. =]
I’ll pencil you in, you Know I like to travel with the tractor. 🚜😁
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
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!
Molly...it is ALWAYS SUNNY when you are explaining to us! (See what I did there?) 😊
🌞😁🚜
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!
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 :)
hi from Australia
Hey there!
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!
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.
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 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:)
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…😬
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!
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!! 🫶
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! 🚜💚👍🏻😊
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.
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!
Should put some pipe in there to keep your soil from washing away
Yes. There are a lot of project we want to do! Haha time is just the problem:) thank you very much for watching!
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!!
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 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
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 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!
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!!
Shane, get the Lady a basket would ya? She's doing a good job.
I guess she earned one huh, I’m going to put it at the top of the list !!
@@shanebell9589 She does work hard, maybe you two could try to make one out of some scrap. Enjoy the holiday!!
I’m sure I have enough stuff kicking around to whip one up no problem lol. Have a great weekend as well!!
Nice cultivation video.
Come on Shane you can Kiss the Girl You Tube is bad but they won't hit you for a Kiss. LOL I love you guys. Good Luck to you all.
That’s what I’m saying! Hahahaah 😘 thank you very much for watching us and leaving your comments! 🫶
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!!
Very cool drone footage. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
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.
