Is d\u00f3cha gur dual don tseanduine bheith ag dul siar de sh\u00edor ar bh\u00f3ithr\u00edn anacair casta na smaointe, agus n\u00ed taise dom fh\u00e9in \u00e9. Ach faoi mar adeir an seanfhocal, b\u00edonn dh\u00e1 thaobh ar chuile sc\u00e9al, mar is f\u00e9idir le duine breathn\u00fa ar thaobh amh\u00e1in den sc\u00e9al, \u00e1it a mbeadh chuile cheo chomh gl\u00e9geal leis an gcriostal, agus d\u2019fh\u00e9adfhadh s\u00e9 breathn\u00fa ar an taobh eile, mar a mbeadh chuile sh\u00f3rt chomh dubh dorcha le pic. Nach f\u00e9idir linn cruatan agus anr\u00f3 an tsaoil fad\u00f3 a chur i gcompar\u00e1id le faoiseach agus le s\u00e1imhe an tsaoil faoi mar at\u00e1 anois. N\u00edl dabht ar domhan, ach go bhfuil saol feicthe againne, seandaoine, nach bhfuil f\u00e1il, n\u00f3 teacht, air a thuilleadh. Nach f\u00e9idir linn uilig sc\u00e9al an tsaoil sin a fh\u00e1il \u00f3 na daoine a bh\u00ed suas, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad? Sea, mh\u2019anam, agus d\u00e9arfainn go raibh an saol as ar f\u00e1isceadh m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in, chomh bocht, crua, anr\u00f3iteach, is a bh\u00ed le f\u00e1il \u00e1it ar bith sa t\u00edr seo, ag an am.<\/p>

Small Farms<\/h1>

Ar mhaith leat blas eic\u00ednt den saol c\u00e9anna sin a fh\u00e1il?<\/p>

Go bre\u00e1 ar fad! d\u00e9anfaidh m\u00e9 mo dh\u00edcheall ar dheoch as tobar na gcuimhn\u00ed a chur ar f\u00e1il duit i bpiosa na seachtaine seo, agus \u00f3 tharla gur ar fheirm a t\u00f3gadh m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in, d\u00e9anfaidh m\u00e9 iarracht ar l\u00e9iri\u00fa eic\u00ednt den shaol ar fheirm bheag, i mBar\u00fantacht Iorrais, i gContae Mhaigh Eo, a leagan os do chomhair amach anois. N\u00ed rains\u00ed a bh\u00edodh ag an muintir thiar ag an am, n\u00edorbh ea muis, n\u00f3 tada d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id! Thart ar sc\u00f3r acra a bh\u00edodh ag bun\u00fas na bhfeirmeoir\u00ed beaga thiar, ag an am, agus fi\u00fa, n\u00ed bh\u00edodh cuid \u00e1irithe den bhfeirm\u00edn c\u00e9anna sin thar mholadh beirte, n\u00f3 b\u2019fh\u00e9idir nach mbeadh ann ach bogach, n\u00f3 portach fh\u00e9in, ach ansin, nuair a smaoin\u00edonn t\u00fa air, n\u00ed bheadh ar a gcumas feirm n\u00edos m\u00f3 n\u00e1 sin a l\u00e1imhse\u00e1il, n\u00f3 n\u00ed bh\u00edodh innealra ar bith acu, le cabhr\u00fa leo an talamh sin a shaothr\u00fa, faoi mar a dheintear sa l\u00e1 at\u00e1 inniu ann. N\u00ed bh\u00edodh de ghl\u00e9asanna n\u00f3 d\u2019acra\u00ed talmha\u00edochta ag a mbun\u00fas, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, ach sp\u00e1id, sluasaid, speal, forc, p\u00edce, sle\u00e1n, corr\u00e1n, r\u00e1ca, cast\u00f3ir, agus br\u00e1ca is c\u00e9achta ag an gcorrdhuine anseo is ansi\u00fad.. <\/p>

Ach c\u00e9ard faoi fhuirse is treabhadh, agus tarraingt earra\u00ed, ar n\u00f3s f\u00e9ar, m\u00f3in, arbhar, pl\u00far agus min, abhaile? Conas a dh\u00e9anaid\u00eds a leith\u00e9id?<\/p>

Bhuel, bh\u00edodh capall ag corrfheirmeoir anseo is ansi\u00fad, agus thagadh seisean i gcabhair ar an t\u00e9 a bheadh ina gh\u00e1tar. N\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1, go mb\u00edodh asal ag bun\u00fas chuile fheirmeoir, agus bhaint\u00ed an-\u00fas\u00e1id as an mbeith\u00edoch bocht c\u00e9anna sin, ar na feirmeacha beaga, ar dhein m\u00e9 tagairt d\u00f3ibh thuas. I gc\u00e1s tarraingt na m\u00f3na abhaile \u00e1fach, b\u2019in gn\u00f3 nach bhf\u00e9adfa\u00ed a dh\u00e9anamh in aon l\u00e1 amh\u00e1in, n\u00f3 th\u00f3gfadh s\u00e9 thart ar sc\u00f3r n\u00f3 sc\u00f3r go leith de chairteacha m\u00f3na, le cruach r\u00e9as\u00fanta m\u00f3r a dh\u00e9anamh, agus ba \u00e9 a dh\u00e9anta\u00ed sa ch\u00e1s sin n\u00f3 leora\u00ed, n\u00f3 tarrac\u00f3ir, a fh\u00e1il ar ch\u00edos do l\u00e1 eic\u00ednt, agus thagadh meitheal de na comharsanna lena gc\u00fanamh a thabhairt don t\u00e9 a raibh an mh\u00f3in \u00e1 tarl\u00fa abhaile aige, agus d\u00e1r nd\u00f3igh, dh\u00e9anta\u00ed an comhar sin a \u00edoc leo si\u00fad, ar ball, nuair a bheadh an mh\u00f3in \u00e1 tarl\u00fa abhaile acu fh\u00e9in. <\/p>

Bhaint\u00ed an f\u00e9ar le speal, agus ba \u00e9 an feirmeoir fh\u00e9in a dh\u00e9anadh an gn\u00f3 sin. N\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1 go mba obair throm, mhaslaitheach, \u00ed an spealad\u00f3ireacht ch\u00e9anna sin, agus go dt\u00f3gadh baint an fh\u00e9ir roinnt mhaith laethe, agus bheadh g\u00e1 le c\u00fanamh \u00f3n gclann, chuige sin, n\u00f3 fad is a bheadh s\u00e9 fh\u00e9in ag baint an fh\u00e9ir, bh\u00edodh a bhean is a chlann ag teacht ina dhiaidh \u00e1 s\u00e1bh\u00e1il. Ba \u00e9 an sc\u00e9al c\u00e9anna \u00e9 i gc\u00e1s bhaint an arbhair. Thagadh an feirmeoir fh\u00e9in i dtosach, leis an speal, agus bh\u00edodh beirt n\u00f3 tri\u00far ag teacht ina dhiaidh, duine ag t\u00f3g\u00e1il, duine ag ceangal, agus duine eile f\u00f3s ag stucadh. Sea, mh\u2019anam, n\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1, go mb\u00edodh droim tinn ar na cr\u00e9at\u00fair bhochta sin i ndeireadh an lae, sea, agus a fhios ag chuile dhuine acu, go mbeadh tuilleadh den obair ch\u00e9anna sin le d\u00e9anamh acu an l\u00e1 d\u00e1r gcionn, agus an l\u00e1 ina dhiaidh sin ar\u00eds. Sea, mh\u2019anam! agus n\u00edor dhada \u00e9 sin taobh leis na laethe nuair a bhaint\u00ed gort arbhair leis an gcorr\u00e1n, geallaimse dhuit \u00e9!<\/p>

Turf too !<\/h1>

Agus, c\u00e9ard faoi bhaint na m\u00f3na? Ba \u00e9 an sc\u00e9al diabhalta c\u00e9anna ar\u00eds \u00e9. Fear an t\u00ed fh\u00e9in ag baint na m\u00f3na leis an sle\u00e1n, agus fear eile, n\u00f3 tuilleadh fi\u00fa, ag teacht ina dhiaidh, agus iad ag scaradh na m\u00f3na le p\u00edce, n\u00f3 uaireannta bh\u00edodh g\u00e1 le barra rotha, leis an m\u00f3in a iompar amach \u00f3n bportach fh\u00e9in, go dt\u00ed an \u00e1it ina nd\u00e9anta\u00ed an mh\u00f3in sin a scaradh, agus d\u00e1r nd\u00f3igh, n\u00ed raibh sa mh\u00e9id sin ach an t\u00fas, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed an t-uaf\u00e1s eile oibre le d\u00e9anamh, sula mbeadh an mh\u00f3in ch\u00e9anna sin sa chruach mh\u00f3na a th\u00f3gta\u00ed, taobh leis an teach, le teas a choinne\u00e1il leis an l\u00edon t\u00ed, go dt\u00ed an tr\u00e1th sin, an bhliain d\u00e1r gcionn.<\/p>

N\u00ed raibh os comhair an fheirmeora bhig, agus a chlann, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, ach obair chrua, anr\u00f3, agus cruatan, \u00f3 cheann ceann na bliana, seal ag cur, agus seal ag baint, ach ag an am gc\u00e9anna, caithfear a r\u00e1 gur bheag duine a bh\u00edodh ag tarraingt ar theach an docht\u00fara, ar bhonn rialta, sna laethe \u00fad, agus d\u00e1r nd\u00f3igh, n\u00ed bh\u00edodh \u00e9inne ag smaoineamh ar dhul chuig s\u00edciatra\u00ed, s\u00edceola\u00ed, n\u00f3 chuig beith\u00edoch ar bith eile d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id. N\u00e1 habair liom anois nach mbeadh a nd\u00f3thain gustail acu, le beada\u00edocht d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id a chur ar f\u00e1il d\u00f3ibh fh\u00e9in, n\u00f3 d\u00e1 mbeadh g\u00e1 d\u00e1ir\u00edreach acu lena leith\u00e9id, thiocfa\u00ed ar sheift eic\u00ednt, lena leith\u00e9id a chur ar f\u00e1il d\u00f3ibh. Ach, is d\u00f3cha, i nd\u00e1ir\u00edre, gurb \u00e9 at\u00e1 \u00e1 r\u00e1 agam n\u00f3, an tr\u00e1th \u00fad, nuair nach raibh spar\u00e1n teann ag \u00e9inne, agus Conch\u00far m\u00f3r sa ch\u00fainne ag a l\u00e1n, go raibh an chosmhuintir l\u00e1n s\u00e1sta lena nd\u00e1n, agus n\u00edos m\u00f3 n\u00e1 sin, go raibh siad sona s\u00e1sta leis an gcine\u00e1l saoil a bh\u00ed acu, n\u00f3 bh\u00ed tuiscint acu ar an gcine\u00e1l sin saoil, bh\u00ed cleachtadh acu ar chruatan agus ar anr\u00f3, agus ba chairde d\u00f3ibh iad, agus d\u00e1 mbeadh ar ghas\u00far dul ar scoil cosnochtaithe, n\u00ed chuirfeadh s\u00e9 as in aon chor d\u00f3, n\u00f3 bheadh roinnt mhaith cosa nochta eile timpeall air, cuma c\u00e1 raghadh s\u00e9. <\/p>

All Mod Con ……<\/h1>

Ach sa l\u00e1 at\u00e1 inniu ann, nuair at\u00e1 innealra, gl\u00e9asanna, agus acra\u00ed de chuile shaghas nios fearr n\u00e1 a ch\u00e9ile, ag daoine, le c\u00fal a chur ar an anr\u00f3 agus ar an gcruatan sin, agus chomh maith le sin, t\u00e1 an spar\u00e1n teann acu freisin, sa chaoi go bhfuil ar a gcumas, s\u00f3l\u00e1s agus s\u00e1imhe a sheasamh d\u00f3ibh fh\u00e9in, d\u00e1 dtogr\u00f3id\u00eds \u00e9, sea, agus earra\u00ed brand\u00e1ilte a cheannacht d\u00f3ibh fh\u00e9in freisin, rud a choinneodh suas leis na comharsana iad, ach, ag an am gc\u00e9anna, n\u00ed d\u00f3igh liom, go bhfuil na daoine seo chomh sona, s\u00e1sta is a bh\u00edodh na daoine a th\u00e1inig rompu, b\u00edodh nach mb\u00edodh an gustal c\u00e9anna acusan. Ach t\u00e1 s\u00e9 cinnte, nach bhfuil cleachtadh ar bith ag na daoine a mhaireann anois ar an gcruatan, n\u00f3 ar an anr\u00f3, a bhain leis an saol, sna seanlaethe. N\u00f3 sa l\u00e1 at\u00e1 inniu ann, t\u00e1 fl\u00fairse ag bun\u00fas chuile dhuine, a dh\u00f3thain le n-ithe agus le n-\u00f3l aige, teach comp\u00f3rdach aige, \u00e9ada\u00ed gal\u00e1nta ar a dhroim, agus carr nua-aoiseach ina sheasamh taobh amuigh d\u00e1 dhoras tosaigh ag roinnt mhaith den chosmhuintir……<\/p>

N\u2019fheadar \u00e1fach, an bhfuil ceacht eic\u00ednt le foghlaim againn \u00f3n sc\u00e9al sin ar fad? T\u00e1id ann ad\u00e9arfadh, nach ionann gustal agus s\u00e1stacht, n\u00f3 nach mbronnann fl\u00fairse f\u00e9ile, agus gur m\u00f3r go deo idir chomharsan\u00falacht agus an spar\u00e1n teann.
