When it's heavier, it 'siles' down.........

Are we all looking back at this with rose tinted glasses,
grasping at the past ,
wish we could go back to the varied mixed farm,when you had 5 to 60 cows ,kept all calves to beef cause you had proper freisan cows not the hatracks on stilts ,
kept a few saddleback or large black sows ,another word for you here BRIMMED ,with large white ,to breed blue white sows ,then put nice long landrace on them , ,
some sheep ,and the minaguarynof ducks bantys geese running about ,
this is what the majority of people think a farm should be instead of jp1 industrial pig prison ,or cows kept in all time and clives industrial ,souless farm scape ,
dont think we have progressed in some ways its all a bloody red tape rat race now ,
wonder what some of these old boys would think ,how technology changed in last 70:years ,from the knackering slog it used to be to todays high tech
would like to be some where in middle ,
some seem to be happy on small place and scrape a living ,others need half the county to survive ,

Agreed, but it's also a hedging tool (one handed bladed chopping tool with a curve to one side of the blade).
Reducing length works in a corner are butts or short works.
Barley ailes is used here too (the bloody irritating barbed bits sticking out from each grain in the ear).
