Modern History TV with Jason Kingsley, CBE, the Modern Knight, explores the physical challenges of medieval haymaking without modern machinery. Techniques for stacking, drying, and calculating acreage based on daily labour are explained while demonstrating the difficult art of using a scythe.
Jason discusses the importance of the medieval hay harvest, what it meant for the medieval peasant and how it was done.
