Haying FAQ Sheeps Creek
A small meadow can be hayed with no more equipment than a scythe, a hand forage rake (wooden, with wood pins for teeth), and a pitchfork to gather the loose hay on a cart, pickup, or wagon. Cutting hay with a scythe takes skill: an oldtimer can show you how to adjust the scythe and keep it sharp, and how to cut hay without exhausting yourself.
