Milking Time at Greenmount Agricultural College: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the daily routine of farming life at Greenmount Agricultural College in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The scene takes place in the college's dairy, where two men are seen expertly milking cows in a warm, well-lit indoor setting. The men, dressed in traditional farming attire, are focused on their task, their expressions serious and determined. The cows, with their large, dark eyes and patient demeanor, seem to understand the process and cooperate willingly. In the foreground, a woman stands near a scale, carefully weighing the milk in a large, white bucket. Her apron is adorned with various dairy symbols, indicating her role as a dairy maid or farmer's wife. The milk, once weighed, would be transported to the churns or vats for processing and storage. The atmosphere in the dairy is calm and efficient, a testament to the hard work and dedication of the farmers and farmhands. Milking time was a crucial part of the daily routine, and the precision and care taken during this process ensured the highest quality milk for both personal consumption and sale. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a farming community in County Antrim during the early 1900s. The image is a reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of Northern Ireland and the importance of traditional farming practices.
