It is indeed hard to get good at it. Stubble needs to be just right and swathing lodged grain is even more difficult. I've been doing it for the better part of 20 years.
COOL! I've always wanted to do that - it must feel so good to bring in a good crop.
ReplyDeleteOk, I will need to teach you how and you can swath till your heart's content next year! Not my favorite chore. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this in person. It looks like fun, but I'll bet it is hard.
