The scythe is a wonderfully efficient tool for the farmer and homeowner alike. It can be used for mowing hay, harvesting grains, maintaining hard to cut areas around trees and fences, or even mowing the lawn.
Come learn about getting the right scythe blade for your situation, proper snath (handle) fit, and mowing technique. Sharpening and maintenance will be covered as well.
Bring your scythe if you have one; there will be some scythes available to borrow for the class.
