How things have changed on the farm, but well done to those who have worked hard away back all those years ago.

Beautiful! Thank-you!

well remember carrying the stooks in but we put ours in a rick under a barn so no need to weatherproof them..the corn stayed there until the threshing machine arrived...that was a dusty sweaty job....

At 1:09 there is comment about good for spuds, what was the reason?

[@sav7568]

To carry a load of them out of the field.

my job then was to trim the thatch around with sheep sheers as a boy. to give a neat appearance.

I see the wisdom of stacking grain in the field rather than storing it in a barn. Once rats and mice get the run of a place there's no getting rid of them. The barn will always have a population of mice waiting to explode. Much better to put the grain where there are as many owls and foxes as mice.

I wonder if (for all of our modern conveniences) we're really that much better off and happier?

[@VideosofIrishFarmingLife]

Yeah for sure, we get it much handier than the folk in the past and then take all for granted.. Thanks for commenting..
