Episode 320: Scything for Pasture and Posture
Today we talk with John Athayde of Sfumato farms, Meticulous and Homesteadoji. He’s joining me today to talk all about scything and if you have not thought about using one at your place, or even if you already are, I recommend listening to this interview.
Last call for webinar registrations – if no one is signed up by tonight, I will delay the webinar 2 weeks.

I really enjoyed the episode, but hope to add something that I think may not be known. We are very lucky here to have the Marugg company right here in our local area.
If you have never been they are great folks and can fit you for a custom snath locally made and their factory is just flat out cool.
