cocking (hay)
In Ireland and England, the building of hay into stacks to facilitate further in-field drying and protect drying hay from rain is called 'cocking'. A stack is a heap which comprises hay etc. which is already made. 'stooking' relates to grain crops when cereals such as wheat were cut and then bound into bundles (reaping and binding). The bundles were 'stooked' to enable field drying in advance of threshing.
