I think I’ve seen literally one note ever about this πŸ˜…

Funny, I was just talking about mowing with scythes the other day. My husband and I were talking about safety of kids on a farm around field equipment, and I mentioned the difference between scythes and modern drivable farm equipment.

Trained kids can even use scythes alongside their parents and neighbors, but only the driver (and whatever limited number of passengers are possible) can be safely in the field when combines, etc. are running.

It was probably me. πŸ˜‚

Scythesupply.com is what you want. Do it. It's awesome.

Wow. Thanks. It's amazing that I happened upon this information on the day my weedwacker died. That looks like just the tool for cutting down cow parsnip without getting burned by its sap.

I think I will if I ever grow grains. It’s something I just might do.

Do you grow any grains? What kinds, and what do you do with them?

Nope, no grains. Just plain old grass and weeds. Literally just mowing grass. It's much faster for anything tall. The grass can be raked up easily because it naturally falls into rows. Then you can use it as mulch.
