Starting the harvest. Cutting Rye in a very traditional manner.

Yikes ! that does not look like fun. Get out the mower and then go salmon fishing with the spare time /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Dave

I wonder how many of us know how to properly use a scythe. My father tried to teach me how to do but I never got the hang of it. It seems to me that a big part of the battle is keeping the blade sharp. Keep up the good work. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Get a gas powered hedge clipper. Put a tray on the backside of the blade to catch the cuttings. Mow it just below the seed heads. That scythe will make your back hurt, twice!

Malt that grain! Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry!
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die!

It takes about an hour and then the endorphines kick in and it gets very hard to stop.
