Farming In Ireland in the 1950s - Growing Oats - Farming Down the Years Part One

In this video a field of Corn (Oats)is grown and harvested as it would have through the middle of the last century. Re-enacting the farm year of 1955, we show each stage of growing Corn as it would have been farmed during these years. From ploughing with horses though to ploughing with a 1939 Fordson Tractor, onto the preparation of the ground using a harrow, a brake, disc, rollers, all to prepare the ground for the sowing the seed which is done with a corn fiddle.
Once the oats have grown we show them first being cut with scythes and we then show them being harvested with a reaper and a binder. After the corn had been cut the sheaves were built into huts and then into a stack ready to be threshed.

Throughly enjoy these Irish farming films. It was the ways of my ancestors. I did not get to learn them as my father died when I was only 7 yrs old.

When I was a boy my dad sat on the binder and was pulled by Ford Major tractor I used to sit on the mudguard of the tractor, if it rained they used to put a sheet over the sails of the binder and we used the climb underneath on the canvas to keep dry.

Its shocking how so little people dont know that corn is a catch all term for grain used for feeding cattle. Corn was a term used before America was discovered. The real name for corn that we know of today is maize. These farmer's corn crop of the year was oats.

New Zealander cropping farmers Warren Darling broke a 25-year-old world record for the highest yielding barley, growing 13.8 tonnes a hectare on their Kiwi Timaru farm...He says there was “no secret recipe” in the agronomy package but he does believe variety, low seed rate, and min-till cultivation were key www.ruraldelivery.net.nz/stories/World-Record-Barley-Yield-2015-2017-03-31-01-42-47Z#:~:text=In%20January%202015%20South%20Canterbury,hectare%20on%20their%20Timaru%20farm - 2020 HARVEST - Canterbury Kiwi-,Volgs - New Zealand ..kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHnGmGqkiammrqc ..!!!

[@andrewjones-productions]

"The horses pushed instead of pulled..".....Actually, horses very rarely pull. They push on the large collars around their shoulders and it is the framework that pulls. If you look at the chains at the rear of the horse to the carriage/implement, you will see that they hang loose.
