Want to learn how to harvest a field or mow grass like someone during the 19th Century? Join us this week as we learn how to care for and use a scythe while harvesting wheat. We had the amazing opportunity to work with Brian James Egen and connect with history at Greenfield Village. We even got to harvest a small portion of one of their heritage wheat fields! This is a follow up episode to the previous one where we explored the history of this tool and the reaper. These two episodes along with one on cornfields are in a farming playlist which is liked below too.
