MOFGA is putting on an event called "Hayday", Saturday July 23rd.

https://www.mofga.org/event-calendar/hayday-a-field-forest-day-at-mofga/

If anyone is serious about diving into mowing with a scythe this is going to be one of the best opportunities to do so in ages.

There will be specialists present in both American and Continental Euro patterns doing presentations, and there will be an array of scythes available for people to try, including more than two dozen from my own collection; some of the best examples of American patterns I have available to me, old stock European blades on wildwood snaths, and even a Nordic pattern scythe. A greater diversity of scythes for those interested in scythe possibilities than you are like to find anywhere else, period.

Please consider attending if you are interested in learning/experiencing (much) more about scythes.

I'll be there doing a seminar on American scythe maintenance and restoration. Should be a fun event!
 
Politics is a circus designed to distract you from what is really going on. So is this tiny ad:
