GREENHEYES PAST
This is a new section that we are developing for the site. We hope to be able to show how farming has changed over the years. In this first series we will be looking at farming in the 1940's and comparing it to today. We will start with a topical subject for the season PLOUGHING AND SOWING NOW AND THEN.
Chris ploughed the 2ha in about 2 hours George would take 5 days
Chris sowed the field in about three
hours, George taking three days two harrowing and one sowing. The end result however the same, a field
of oats. Interesting to see the difference over 60 years.
