Video: Silage cutting timelapse from Kerry is strangely soothing

From green sward to empty of bales in just over three minutes.

From green sward to empty of bales in just over three minutes.

If you had to make one gripe about agriculture, it is that it is a bit slow. As a business it requires patience, lots of effort and bags of time.

But this video, posted on YouTube a few months back by Pádraig Ó Dubhaigh and sent into us today by Stephen Fox, cuts out all the messing, showing the entire silage saving process is just over 210 seconds.

We’ll admit the video would be even more soothing if the music was a bit different but that said, the video has a certain hypnotic quality that we rather enjoyed.
