Summer is a time of plenty. Trees, shrubs, herbs, vegetables and fruits are just starting to bloom and produce crops. But in winter there is none of this, so you have to make blanks. Skird is hay stacked for storage. In winter, they feed cows, goats and sheep. Therefore, haymaking is often called stacking. Where did this concept come from, we’ll talk.
Meaning of the word "sird"
Since childhood, villagers know how to harvest hay. The city people are surprised to ask: "Skird - what is this at all?" The easiest way is to first look at the definition in the Ozhegov dictionary. "Skird" is an oblong haystack. Also called sheaves of bread, which are folded in a special way for storage in the open. The full synonym and much more often used is the word "sird". In English, harvested hay is called stack or rick. Transportation is carried out in bulk. The number of sheaves or stacks in them varies depending on the terrain. Usually two hoofs are placed on a cart. The stack is most often round, and the stack is hay, tightly folded for storage in the open air, which is given an oblong shape.
Procurement process
Reacting is not an easy task. When harvesting, all the muscles of the body are used, because each sheaf should be stable and beautiful. Consider the steps that each farmer should take:
- Grab the bale by the rope. The hand should hold everything tightly. It is logical here to use gloves or special hooks for hay.
- Tilt the bale to the hips to carry it. The severity should be distributed mainly on the legs, and not on the arms and back. If you have a lot of experience in stacking and enough strength, you can transfer it. It is important that the bale falls next to the stack, and not on it. You can also use a hand truck. Hooks in this case help stabilize the load.
- We begin to lay the first tier of the stack. To do this, fold the bales side up. The ropes should be on the left or right side. The stems of the grass should lie down vertically. After the first tier is formed, you can begin to lay out the second from the corners to the middle. It is important to ensure that they fit snugly together. The angles of the stack should be straight, which will maintain stability even on the twentieth tier.
- The finished stack should not exceed its width and length more than one and a half times in height.
