Really? I'm very interested, really. My father grew up in a German village in Yugoslavian in the 30's and it was very 'middle ages'; by what he tells me. Really interesting stories about how the village operated, with the swine herd and stuff; I'm sure he would have used a scythe. I wish we could go back to some of those things; it would be so fulfilling, but I'm too old for that now...If I had my time again I'd seek out some sort of Amish community, I really would...Really, I would...

Using a scythe aren't hard work at all. My uncle find's it alot less fatiguing then using a petrol one(with the spinning tread). So get one of ebay and give it a go, important that it's laminated and good steel of course Originally Posted by carlmaloschneider

Oh no thanks, though I do use normal 'manual' hedge trimmers to trim my ivy hedge, great work for the pecs and front deltoids... Originally Posted by Einar

Tobacco stalks aren't really anything like corn stalks. Corn is largely hollow while tobacco is solid. Corn is also very fibrous unlike tobacco stalks. Originally Posted by Einar

Totaly O,T do you know if lucky strike aditive free, realy are "pure" tobacco? My favorite smokes now
I don't really know if they're additive free. The manufacturing has changed a lot since we had our farm almost 40 years ago.
