[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 7870375, member: 1008"] Were they the bags that held 2 1/4 hundredweight? I’ve heard the story many a times of my late uncle carrying these sacks of grain on his back from the threshing machine, across the yard and up the granary steps to empty them. On one occasion on his return to the threshing machine they all stopped to watch him catch hold of the bag, he knew something was up but carried on, yep something was up but he dug in deep and carried on as close to normal, across the yard and up the steps, each step getting harder and and harder but determination kept him going, he made it to the top, and emptied the bag , complete with two 56llb weights inside. Wonder how many farm workers could manage a day carrying 2 1/4 hundredweight sacks nowadays [/QUOTE]
