Hello from Wisconsin, USA. Thanks for the excellent video! It's amazing how fast farm technology has advanced in such a short amount of time in history 🤠

9.00..........oh the memories of picking stumps and rocks on a 1000 acre sandy paddock. Thanks to the Narrator who is doing a great job to explain the progress of technology with some context. I have been around agriculture for a long time, but I never heard or saw "straw rope" before............

I'm in north Florida and I love these videos. I grow very small amounts of oats and potatoes from October to May. The rest of the year it's more like India than Ireland.

My wife’s grandfather worked for Ford as chief engineer, received an OBE for his work, we think, on the Fordson tractor. His name was Gerald Ronayne. His Irish relatives were not all pleased with him accepting an OBE from the British.

[@johncourtneidge]

Thank-you!

[@oldthudman]

The Ford 8n is still a very, very popular tractor.....Many are restored and/or many still used as garden and small acreage tractors......

It were many a long hour we stuck in the field, weren't a day passed that finishing wasn't a gleeful sight.

[@davidloughridge1988]

When I saw the picture of the Ford Ferguson at the top of the video, I got all excited. The reg number is a few numbers younger than the one we had: IW 8035. I wonder does anyone know where it might be now

[@SuperOlds88]

I have to believe that the average farmer gained substantial bodyweight with the advent of mechanized farming, the world over. When I was little I always thought the song went "Bringing in the sheep, Bringing in the sheep" Nobody told me any different, maybe they didn't know either.

[@MrjackieG]

The problem with fertilizer is it becomes an addiction. Once you start using it your damned if you do and damned if you don't. The price never remains constant and the weeds really love it. So you are now sucked into having to spray more for weeds leading to a disasterous situation of having to move up to GM crops which cost a fortune and leave the soil in a real mess. Good luck!

That old diesel Ferguson 20 was the Cadillac of it's time, you had to be carefully working around that ever spinning pto, as good as I rem it had a single clutch so no way to turn that pto off , I'm not sure what year the tvo came out but it was temperamental.

[@cottagemommy5116]

Wow, it is amazing to see the progression of progress. 😉 Kind of sad that progress means doing away with communities working together and becomes one man working alone with a machine though.

[@309basshead]

[@alanhannigan9944]

Love watching the old ways,for me it's a sort of time travel,if i could of picked a generation to grow up in,100% my Father's generation 60/70's it was all happening and all new,but no violence like today, sure you did have drugs in Ireland in 60's mainly in the cities a bit of hash might get brought home to the country from college,but nothing like today's epidemic of drug addiction and all the sorts of drugs,give me the 60's you could go out and have fun not watching for something to kick off,you could just chill back then ☘️🇮🇪

[@michaelhalsall5684]

"Corn" is what crop in Ireland? Here in Australia "corn" means maize as it does in North America.

[@polki1482]

Its just a term used for any cereal usualy either barley wheat or oats.

[@raypitts4880]

[@KowboyUSA]

Mom's pop, my grandfather sold the farm to sell Case steam-powered tractors.

[@CDev2184]

Not many cross-community documentaries done in Northern Ireland then, including this one.

[@beeboop1726]

Why do some people like you feel the need to bring religion and politics into everything? This is a farming show! People like you is what is wrong with our wee country

couldn't understand a word some of those dudes were saying

[@KowboyUSA]

Spend some time in western Canada and you'll eventually easily understand every word.
