One of the most enjoyable vlogs I have ever seen. All other young farmers should take note of what you did in this vlog . And keep a record of the way things were done back in the day. These story's are PRICELESS.

[@MrMike353]

I couldnt agree with you more

[@DianeD862]

[@derekfinn6077]

Another great video men great to hear old stories of Irish farming! I'm a non farmer but I see and feel the pressure on farmers nationwide due to poor policies in government and so on, please god they get they're acts together an appreciate the hard working men and women of the farming industry who in my opinion are the back bone of our land we get a great standard of meat,grains, milk and so on it's a shame how farmers are treated and I wish all yous the best of luck for the future

Rip uncle ian

[@tmyersf4]

Hi Phil - You should also start a podcast series with these stories. Would be very suitable format for that.

[@pinocchiomediam5055]

Fantastic to have so much family history pulled from the memory . Proper men

[@caolanodonavan8970]

Love the old stories

[@gotlandscapes]

I'd listen to Derek and Ian all day

[@tomgreene2282]

Stooks , stacks...and ricks....ah the days! Most farming people had potatoes, eggs, porridge, cabbage, milk butter and bacon. ...no telephone, cars, etc.....a great "fireside" conversation ...well done! I was in( Willie?) Stuart's sawmills in Ennybegs with my father getting timber oak posts sawed in the 1950s . Some folks had a horse churn similarly powered.

[@seamus7495]

good men for the chat phil i’m farming with the aul buck but only wish there was something to be at everyday like yourself

Great video great chat between you's very interesting to know about your farming life 👍👍

[@wallaceloan4169]

This was really interesting to hear your uncle and dad talking about the past. You should sit down with these two wise gentlemen and rite a book. It would sell no problem and it would be interesting read about the past farming ways. Great video Phil

[@MrShanbla]

Jaysus Phil that was class, I hope you convince Father Phil and Uncle to keep reminiscing away like that, sounds like your farms history is fascinating! Gonna watch this again tomorrow with the father, the amount of tea I've drank with him and my own uncle and they reminiscing about old allis Chalmers and Garvie threshers!

[@danielhutchinson1102]

[@Panchdeburca]

Unbelievably video there Phil. Fascinating to hear the father and uncle reminiscing and with the old stories. Videos like this are absolutely priceless. You buys should think of writing a book - especially if you had any old photos that you could put in

Great video keep recording those stories even for your own use . I didn't now dad isn't able to go over stories I've heard him tell numerous times .

[@joesod]

of all the hardship farmers went through back then I think the worst was the small square bales as was mentioned here they crippled alot of men, even though in theory square bales should have advancement from saving loose hay
