Keeping ancient hay making tradition alive

  • The cantonal authorities in Uri, central Switzerland are trying to keep the tradition of hay making alive, because the hay not only provides winter fodder for livestock, but growing grass for hay in the high mountains encourages biodiversity and stops the pastures returning to forests. The canton organises an annual course for would-be haymakers. swissinfo joined the students on their adventure. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch 01.10.2009)

    Very impressive using tools of another generation to get the job done in very difficult mountain terrain, no one out of shape and over weight in this village. That hey sliding down that cable piece of engineering speaks of determination of smart people to complete the harvest.

    dought they had a cable loader 50 years ago or before but when I was ten my uncles helper (Knecht) would lay down a hefty rope , double up on it and tie a five hundred pound load (in hot wheather a large cotton cloth was added). Then we (me and another kid (summer chind) would help the "big ochs" to pull it to the so called "schneise" where the terrain was steep.Then the helper would glide down to the "gade" where the hay got stored for the goats or the cows...

    Naw, hay wire is used to bale hay. It comes in a loose coil and is very easy to get tangled up. That's why when something "goes hay wire" it means that it's all messed up.

    Can anyone tell me what approx year the zip line was incorporated into the process? In researching haying in the mid 19th century I find these tools would have been used...but how would the farmers transport the hay back then? TY! (PS Great video)

      Maybe you could ask Michael Dipner Gerber, featured in the video

    I wonder why they didn't use horses, donkeys or oxen to haul the hay? We use a truck.

    Cool. Maybe next you can keep alive traditional anthrax, smallpox, hunger, famine, and short lifespans.

    Trust me, there is no danger in nature becoming "overgrown"
    We're bloody killing ourselves in our concrete nightmare.
    This sort of anti-life anti-nature dribble isn't surprising coming from a bald engineer.

      Proper management like this only strengthens nature. The grass will come back stronger.
