That’s not corn. It’s wheat. Corn doesn’t need threshing

I THINK WE SHOULD GO BACK TO THIS WAY OF LIFE IMMEADATLY

@BRI33NOR

Not possible I am afraid. Born and raised on a farm my Dad was the Forman and had almost Eight people working with him all doing varios jobs and coming together at harvest and threshing time etc. All in tied houses , low paid ,but all employed and earning wages. Many had a specialist skill, stockman, shepherd, tractor driver and so on. Mixed farm of about 400 acres found work for maybe a dozen families. Nowadays large companies own thousands of acres, specialize in maybe two products under contract to large supermarkets etc. Maybe two full time workers, rest all done by machines and contractors . All those workers were eventually made redundant by machines, computers etc. Workers houses sold off , now holiday cottages for well off folks. Workers moved into factories , or emigrated in many cases. Times have changed, money, greed, power now the main object of farming. Will never go back as it was, people would no longer accept the hard way of life. It was hard in many ways too, not as romantic as it looks now. I went to a small village school and started work at just fifteen years of age. But pleased that I was raised then, never ever drawn public assistance, dole money in my life. Now 80 years old, quite fit and yes I am happy with my lot.

Ah you don't say?

This was great !!!! I'm the last of my family still on this earth who used heavy horses for farming before the iron horse arrived. Life was reasonably tough in those days but society and social interaction made us better people because we all helped and look after each other in those times. But some say we had to have progress but now we are having trouble buying fuel for the iron horse, progress looks good but brings its problems.

Ireland is in my heart and my blood.

I was borne in the 1930s. a small farm in Wiltshire UK. used horses until 1947 on small farm 2oo acres. when our first tractor arrived. When the driver wanted to turn around at the headland he was shouting whoa WHOA still thinking he was in charge of a HORSE. We all fell about laughing.

Born on a farm in rural Lincolnshire in 1941. This type of life is so familiar to me. WW2 was at its height and petrol was needed for the military. So I grew up where horses were back in use as much as possible. Never will regret the way I was raised, all changed of course.

Yep. Born in 1950 the same thing happened in Derbyshire though the horses had gone and the fergie replaced them , the shafts taken off horse machines and replaced with a draw bar .

An amazing documentary of those times. Hardship may be, but the closeness of families working together is endearing, and how folk use to “ pull together” share and work very hard. Our children today know very little of “ the old days” and I wish this life could be brought back for them to experience and understand what are ancestors and long time ago days were.... I’m sure it would do them the world of good. NO TV NO INTERNET NO IPhones.....no nothing......how wonderful. Im 67 and I do remember my grandparents not having electricity and having a large black range in the kitchen , that my Gran cooked on. Happy days, even though I’m sure it was hard grafting.

It made me think of our Amish friends who have so many similar traditions.

Thanks for showing Muckross, near the heart of MacCarthy country. My grandfather went there on a visit before he emigrated as a teenager and kept mementoes of his visit to Muckross Abbey. He never saw Ireland or his parents again, though his siblings came to America too. They lived on the same street, just as they might have done in Ireland. Obviously I grew up hearing thick Cork and Kerry accents almost unchanged from the late 19th Century, so understanding was no problem. I've even picked the accent back up again on visits to family in Ireland.

Love these old videos, I remember my grandfather saying about the seed when they were drilling _ one to rot, one to grow (next years seed) one for the farmer _ and one for the crow.

I have always been fascinated by the beautiful ireland. The way irish people speaks of it with so much pride and love💚💚💚 I live in a very different climate.. ploughing the fields are done by water buffaloes over here but i have never lived on a farm

amazing window into the farming when not much electric or motor power

Intersting to se how people in Ireland worked on a farm. The farming in Ireland is very similar to that one I grew up with. I grew up in Norway in the1950s.The difference is the climate. In Norway we need to feed the animals indoors during the winters because of the cold weather. During the summer we have to dry hay which we feed the animals during the winter. The farm was a mixed farm. That means we had sheep and cows. We grew potatoes and wedgetables. We produced milk, butter and cheese. We had all we neded on the farm. My father made shoes, while my mother sewed clothes. We had no need during that time in spite of Norway was poor because it was short time after the war.

We certainly would be rich in food supplies if people could use their farm land again. I remember the many small family farms in New Hampshire before environmentalists ruined farming. I grew up with all these traditions except keeping poultry in the house. And we had the old farm machinery but the horses died before I was born, and at age 5, I was driving the 1933 International Harvester hay truck with the help of a governor, on low low!

When I was a boy in the early 1940's it was Great to watch shire horses being shown by the Blacksmith as at times allowed to ride on a shire horse's neck as his farmworker handler sat on the horse's back behind me.

I remember my mother making it back in the day wish I could remember how to make it. I am going to have to look it up 😊

@Border Reiver The Kerry is a very ancient dairy breed, possibly the oldest defined breed in Europe, and the Dexter was evolved from them, with an emphasis on dual purposeness, about 200 years ago. It seems they derive their breed name from someone called Dexter who was a breeder sometime in the 19th century. I am sure a search for the breed societies will give you more info, but the above is from memory.

Apparently the Paternal line of Kerry cattle came from a local Aurochs found in the British Isles at least since the Mesolithic, apparently related to White Park Cattle and Highland Cattle. The Maternal line maybe came from the Continent with the Bronze Age Migration into Britain and Ireland since that is when the use of Bog Butter appeared in Ireland.

Cant remember if I saw horses ploughing but I do remember two horses pulling the combine which tied the sheafs which were pushed out the side for the workers to gather in pairs and build them in colums of eight, they were called stooks. Also horses pulling carts in the filed where the workers emptied baskets of potatoes (picked by other worker10 minutes prior to being emptied) into these carts. Believe it or not this was in Scotland in the 1950s.

A really good film - ignore the H&S risks at the potato spraying. A pity the commentator was wrong about Bordeaux Mixture. It is so called because it was developed as a vine and potato spray in Bordeaux, not by somebody called Bordeaux. It had been in use for a long time but it took the botanist and mycologist Pierre Marie Alexis Millardet to realise its potential as a fungicide. I am a great believer in ensuring that men such as he who have done so much for food production should receive their due recognition and be remembered.

Lord God, please help not to take the land from ordinary farmers of Ireland, their children cry, they handed out a lot of food to charity, treating everyone, look at their dark faces from the sun and strained hands. Thank you.
