Synopsis
File:A_Day_In_The_Hayfields_screenshot2.jpg
This is a documentary film showing the process of making hay as it was in the early 20th century United Kingdom. The cutting, gathering and stacking processes are all documented. At the end there is a shot of children playing in the newly mown hay. This film is significant in its depiction of pre-mechanized agriculture using horses instead of powered farm equipment.{{cite web |last1=Hepworth |first1=Cecil |title=A Day In The Hayfields |url=https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-a-day-in-the-hayfields-1904-online |website=BFI Player |access-date=11 March 2022}}
