Incredible that there where still people who cut fields of wheat with a small, curved, knife in 2016. It's like we are still in the stone age :-) Thank you guys for helping those farmers out with education !

Even more bizarre to think of is that these people weren't even using a Scythe prior to this and were just using their hands...kind of blows my mind that education was so horrible that they couldn't even think of something...anything, better than their hands. I really hope it all was this way prior because the person who owns the land just wanted to pay less (no expenses on tools and pay workers very little).

redknight801 No worries about India, they got very cheap mobiles and Internet now. The people in India are actually quite OK. The population is so huge that there are people who are at a very cutting edge of science, and at the same time people who did not know about the basic farming tools, which they could use in their life. This video is amazing in the sense that we can lift up some of the villages in our world with very little investment. There is so much potential to grow with so little investment.

Makes me think someone should make a church of technology which uses the existing gods they know and believe in to introduce technology to both remote places and normal places. If the orthodox priests really wanted their missionary missions in India to be effective, they could simply bring gifts of technology to the people. Both bringing already-made tools to teach them with and teaching them to make new tools, as well as teaching them science. I wonder if that would lead to a situation similar to Warhamer 40k, where they pray to the Machine Gods. And India already has a God of Technology and Invention, called Vishvakarman .

Time they can spend doing other things that might need taking care of but that they have to put off. Time is more valuable than gold.

[@threeriversforge1997]

I would point out that the mechanized farm equipment you speak of is actually far worse for the land than the Scythe. I was shocked to learn that the basic Scythe, as antiquated as it seems, is actually 2 times faster than a modern string trimmer and just as fast as a push mower. That means 90% of the people who have lawns, urban or not, can be doing away with their modern machinery if only they knew about the scythe's benefits. Imagine how quiet the weekends would be if more people were using Scythes to tend their yards? Imagine how much pollution and energy we'd save if we got even a fraction of the people away from using the modern contraptions made of plastic and running on oil and gas?! I know quite a few people who hire lawncare companies to tend their yards, and they always say how much they hate the noise, but it's a trade-off because they hate dealing with the mowers and all that even more.

Farmers are paid by the volume or mass of their crops without consideration for how many people it took to harvest. So it just means the children are less likely to have to work and they can get educations instead.

There are a few technologies which could make it easier to not only live, but also increase the production and even to farm in the middle of the winter, to move faster for cheap, and to learn and spread knowledge and skills around. Technologies I believe would help the poor people live a better life, and which can be made from only wood and rope, if one has a few tools which need metal. A short list would be: scythe with cradle, treadle-powered hold-on thresher, flying shuttle loom, cargo/freight trikes with two wheels in the front and the cargo between the front wheels, making paper from grass and optionally adding "pickling mother" or kombucha, wood/terracotta/resin-ash-glue block printing, ash-and-oil or ash-and-egg or ash-and-oil-and-egg ink/paint, waterproofing paper with wax or resin, making greenhouses with waterproofed paper.

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

Yes, and India is not in Europe and wheat was not the staple food in the entire globe and neither is scythe the symbol of civilization development throughout everywhere. Different things develop in different parts of the world, depending on their environment and need. Wheat was only very small part of Indian diet till 1960s. Our staple grain was rice along with an assortment of multiple different grains like amaranth, millets like ragi, jowar, bajra. Sickle is the suitable equipment used for small scale rice paddies and all different kinds of grasses. So there would obviously not be a need to have an equipment dedicated to a grain that is not the staple and isn't grown in large swatchs. And during 'Green revolution' in India during 1950s, they somehow decided to push large scale wheat production and also introduced agromechinery. It was a sudden jump in quantity and machinery, so they just skipped the scythe. They were focused on the large scale production and the small scale farmers were left with the sickle and a large number of labourers left out with the introduction of agromachinery. Hence they had all the manpower they needed and didn't need a scythe. Hope that gives you an informed view on why some equipments were not needed in some places for a long time

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

@@electricpaisy6045 Rice is still the most produced grain in India and India is also the second largest producer of rice. Some parts of India still use negligible amount of wheat.

There is a sophistication to the scythe that in the Western mindset will go completely over their heads. Our obsession with the ''labour saving device'' powered by fossil fuels and battery is for the most part the expression of capitalist profit, and 'not' human and Planetary need . My respect to you all , Indian farmer and ZlataKosa. Arrogance and idiocy always leads to an early death. Let the detractors grow fat on their lack of exercise and let heart disease be their punishment for ignorance.

[@DukesArchive]

wait.....they had to put on a demonstration at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in New Delhi? Wtf, does that mean the institute was unaware of the scythe?! How.......

[@Luciffrit]

Some of them most likely knew about it, but didn't know how to use it or thought that it was not still in production and had no idea of its effectiveness.

Wild that people think what their staple was in Medieval times must the same in entire world, right? I donno, dear maybe wheat wasn't that commonly cultivated in India until recently and hence a scythe dedicated to harvest by hand a crop that's not much in demand was just not used. Ever thought that maybe India was more biodiverse and had a variety of other grains? Like rice and millets?

[@petermurphy9651]

Thanks for sharing. It is interesting the speed of the scythe compared with the sickle. Are we comparing speed versus grain harvesting efficiency because the greater speed of the scythe might dislodge the grain from the stalk and have grain lower yield, falling to the ground. Possibly not measurable to know unless tests are undertaken. Did anyone notice the number of grains dislodged on the ground at all, compared with the sickle patch? If there was a difference in favour of the sickle being with higher grain yield, is it enough incentive in various measures (like labour costs, time, yield, getting to the market etc) to be certain the scythe is better. It was noted the actual field worker at 8.39 minutes was 'caressing the wheat' with soft lighter swings rather than the broader swinging slash (and faster cut). Maybe he knows the grain yield per acre is directly linked to preservation. The sackcloth guide design of this particular scythe was effective bundling the wheat stalks to one side in a row. Any measures to improve production and reduced harvesting time is a bonus. Sometimes farmers have to harvest the wheat fast ahead of impending rains or floods. Thoroughly enjoyable to see this step in harvesting options.

[@Vikalp]

The grain dislodging is nominal when crops are harvested at the right time. Once overripe, shedding happens even if you harvest with a sickle The finesse of harvesting, the stage of ripening and the time of the day when harvest is done; all play their role in the same. We have got it tested from a premier agricultural institute in India and the findings showed less than 5% dislodging which is the same for a sickle

I remember trying one of these out on my grandmas farm when I was like 5 years old in Ukraine.

[@Lightspit]

For me as an East European this is shocking! The scythe is used fore more than 2000 years in Europe and basically there was no peasant revolt where the sickle was not used as a weapon as well. Rhomphaia and Dacian Falx are nothing else than scythes and sickles adapted for war. The good thing for the Indians is that it looks like they are using the Central and East European version of scythe which is lighter than some of the Western versions and the handle is straight.

[@brianmorris8045]

if you think that way, Lightspit, you are a catalyst for war...but you are correct about the early times the scythes or types of scythes then were used. I turned a sickle into a sort of scythe...but it cuts the grass without bending over...just a miniture version. Just had to refashion the blade of the scythe and the angle when I attached it to the broom handle. I used to laugh at people in suburbs cutting their lawns with a scythe, till I saw how quick the lawn was mowed. We westerners quite often laugh at the way those from Asian countries do things. We westerners are not so much the master race as we think despite the modern technology we use.

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

It's fascinating to see, (in the comments section) how ignorance, arrogance and prejudice, is clouding people's ability to think and to jump into conclusions. People please remember that what was widely cultivated in Medieval times in Europe was probably not done so much in other parts of the globe. Hence the equipments used would also be different. Remember that Industrialization happened before globalization and some stuff that was used before industrialization, staying localized and only getting global now is quite natural. Think why you guys in europe never used a humble coconut scrapper. Wheat wasn't a staple in India till 1960's and rice which is traditionally harvested with a sickle was the staple. I'll leave it at that, use your brains to figure out the rest

[@ZlataKosa]

Aleena, I agree with you. I also think these derogatory comments are revealing even more about the writers themselves. Sometimes I wonder who is behind these comments. If they’re 10 year olds, then it is a sad case of ignorance, if 30 year olds, then a disturbing case of arrogance. Neither to be proud of. It is also a reminder of the deep disconnect between the West and the Global South. I feel there is no use talking about the latest technologies when they are out of reach for a majority of small farmers. I prefer to look for solutions that are affordable, applicable and will improve the lives of many right now. This is the reason I initiated the Scythe Project in India.
