What's Flapping - Why Are They All Here After Work?

Video Description

In this programme, Jack Hargreaves opens a window onto a side of rural life that has almost vanished today. It begins with the sort of countryside sports that took place in fields after tea. From there Jack shows how a plough does its job. He explains the share, the coulter and the mouldboard, and how the smallest changes in depth and angle decide whether a field is turned properly. It’s one of those simple demonstrations that stays with you. The final part Jack follows the harvest as it once was: stooks of barley standing in long rows, the binder creaking across the field, sheaves lifted onto the elevator, and the careful building of a rick before the weather turns. #countryside #DaveKnowlesFilmmaker #JackHargreaves 👉 Watch more Old Country episodes: JackHargreaves.tv 📘 Buy the authorised biography of Jack Hargreaves – Jack’s Country – written by Paul Peacock: ➡︎ Via Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XVipl7 =========================== Connect with me on Social Media: YouTube: ➡︎ www.YouTube.com/DaveKnowlesFilmmaker Instagram: ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/daveknowlesfilmmaker/ Facebook: ➡︎ https://www.facebook.com/DaveKnowlesFilmaker Website: ➡︎ https://daveknowles.net Amazon Shop: ➡︎ https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/daveknowles-filmmaker X (Twitter): ➡︎ https://x.com/DaveK_Filmmaker Some of the links above are affiliate links.
