- Hay-making long ago was much harder
than it is now, as there were no
mowing-machines out then.
he people had to cut all their hay
with instruments called scythes.
Towards the end of April the farmer
takes whichever fields he is taking for
meadow.
If there are any animals in the fields,
he takes them out and put them in
different fields, and also he fences the fields.
At the beginning of July it is ready to be
mowed by the mowing machines.
When it is all cut, the hay is turned, and
left to dry for about a day.
Then it is made into small mows of
cocksround left there to dry better for
about two days.
The cocks which they are made into are
called grass-cocks.
Then it would be made into big cocks
called field cocks.
Then the hay is left in these for about
three weeks.
Then near the end of the summer, the
hay is drawn home in carts or shifters(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)- Bailitheoir
