The light-brown land in the distance shows the extent of the potato crop area.
Harvesting with The Gap in the Comeraghs in background.
Trailer with suitable containers being loaded
from the harvestor's conveyor belt.
The modern harvester being used.
Note the canvas-covered platform at the end of this huge machine.
Two men worked inside this, picking items (probably stones?) from the conveyor belt
and discarding them!

and lo and behold, the ground above had already been ploughed and harrowed
and spring wheat covered the entire area in a beautiful shade of green!
