Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article, the author examines from an individual
actor perspective the change from mixed farming to mechanized dairying when Ireland joined
the European Common Market. Labor-intensive mixed farming, in which small farm households
supplied labor to the larger farms, predominated in the parish for a century prior to 1950.
During that period, emigration eventually resulted in labor shortages. The change to
mechanized dairy farming is interpreted as a rational choice made by farmers in response to
the dwindling labor supply. Social relations in the community also changed, as farms became
more competitive with each other and gaps in farm incomes and family status widened.
Without the need for outside labor, farmers became more isolated and once neighborly ties
dissolved.
