- In this video we show the Oats being harvested and built into huts and stacks in preparation for threshing. The practise of hutting the ensured the grain remained safe until a thresher was available to thresh the oats.
This 10 minute video is the second part of a film called Farming Down the Years" based on 1955 Irish corn harvest examining the changes that were taking place at that time. Vintage enthusiasts from County Derry in the North of Ireland explain the difficulties of starting farm contract work and take us through the complete season of the corn harvest.

How things have changed on the farm, but well done to those who have worked hard away back all those years ago.
Beautiful!
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....
my job then was to trim the thatch around with sheep sheers as a boy. to give a neat appearance.
Those were the days my dad is a tipp man

Subtitles in english would be great
I wonder if (for all of our modern conveniences) we're really that much better off and happier?
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.
