I love seeing this film. I went to the 85th annual National Ploughing Championships last year ~ Screggan , Tullamore, County Offaly. & I know that many people were more interested in the motorized tractors, but I counted it PURE JOY to see and get to be near the HORSES and the farmers who still plough with them.
What a wonderful presentation. My grandfather worked as a farmer and blacksmith in Ireland before coming to America and would often talk about his experiences, such as haying with lose hay, running a McCormick Reaper, all done with horse power, and working with the threshing machine, which was rented out and would arrive every year. It is wonderful to be able to see what life was like for him as a boy and young man.
Brilliant video. The horse drawn implements were different to what I grew up with and that is what had me wondering until I asked my Irish wife. Thank you for an excellent video.
The Ireland of my childhood, standing on a chair to pump the 'tilly' hung up in the ceiling of my pals house just because I loved doing it when visiting! The soda-bread cooking in the pig-pot over an open fire, carrying water from the yard spring to make the most delicious tasting pots of tea, the hum of conversation late into the night, to the accompaniment of the hissing tilly lamp, and the quiet flames of their turf fire...all now just ghosts in a silent past of long ago.......
I could collect the hay stacks on my own as a twelve year old, and clear a field in a day, but you still had to load the hay into the barn with a lot of help. co kerry

You wouldn’t want to pay the cost of produce produced the old way, nor would the farmer be able to survive on what he made
