Connecting with Anant and Vivek Chaturvedi in Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) during my 2015 trip was a game changer in my efforts to introduce the scythe to Nepal, India, and other parts of Asia. After one day of scythe trials in the field, they recognized its potential, and Vivek suggested that the next Spring harvest of winter wheat would be a good opportunity to launch the scythe in India. During March/April 2016, he had organized demos in 30 villages covering most of the Uttar Pradesh state and beyond, reaching as far as Bilaspur (in Odisha), and Indore (in Madhya Pradesh). In one of the villages, the demo was attended by the Minister of Agriculture himself. Participants all agreed that the scythe is an appropriate alternative to a sickle.
The implementation of this initiative is well on its way. While all of the scythe equipment for the demos was initially imported, by now almost all of the equipment is being made locally in India (snaths, cradles, attachment rings, peening jigs, and anvils), and only the blades are being imported, direct from the factory.
During the previous eight years, I had been searching for a willing organization (either governmental or NGO) to go forward with a project like this, and the results were disappointing. It took an independent local group to make this happen. These are committed people with honest concerns and a true vision, who fully understand the needs of the local farmers. "Thank you" to the Chaturverdis of Kanpur!
I want to also give thanks to all who have contributed in various ways during my journey to get here. Foremost to my brother Peter Vido and his family for the inspiration and the ongoing technical support. For this recent trip, I was joined by Sy Schotz, an organic farmer who has spent extensive time with Peter Vido's family at their farm in New Brunswick. Sy's knowledge and experience was a great contribution to this project.
It is especially rewarding for me to see that the scythe has been embraced as a beneficial alternative for small farmers in India.

I have found that countless things in life are made easier by having the right tools. Love the smiles on their faces.
smiles yes, reality 80 % of them will lose their job in a country riddle with poverty.
Will this really help them or just the farmer who own the land
@@Y0uEnj0yMyselfIndia have a population and not a technology problem something not so easy to solve. As they are a part of the commonwealth a simple tool as demontrate are well known for a long time. It is like you have fix one problem and at the same time it has created more problems. How are the farm workers going to feed their family knowing they have or will been replaced...
@@Steven-we9kr no one will lose their job, there are many many more works available..govt is promoting skill development centres all around India, so there is never going to be job scarcity for daily wage earners, every little improvements helps in nation building, they can move to better roles now,dont worry
@@Steven-we9kr a luddite speaking out against use of scythes of all things is even more shocking than when I originally saw this video and found out Indians didn't use them.
In my childhood i cut the grass for cows by sitting on the ground with a small sickle,,it could have been far more better if we have had this technology,❤

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 Which is interesting, were they so isolated that they did not know that Wikipedia is a thing :-)
Jussstttt in case you were mocking me...I meant in regards to common sense ;) if no mocking was involved in this comment, I approve :D :D !! I mean, they should just use their smart phones and use google for crying out loud, such plebs.

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.

It is quite mind-blowing to realise some places didn't have the scythe as a concept. Wish all the best of luck to the people there who would now be able to use it.
TheHuangShan eco friendly.
TheHuangShan You're Chinese? I was just asking my mom who grew up during the Cultural Revolution if she used one of these while growing up in a communal farm in the Pearl River Delta. She said she wish she had a scythe, but only had knives, sickles, and scissors and as far as she knew only people from the north who spoke Mandarin had scythes back then.
I feel so weak and lazy. Here I am as a healthy young man, and my back and arms are killing me just from clearing my backyard with weeds with a weedwhacker, shovel, and pickaxe.

We had this in Europe for very long time. It's the basic tool. I'm happy that the small farmers there can use it to make their lives easier.
it's actually incredible that they never use it... I mean, next we'll see them using a hammer to cut down a tree.
Everything is basic before the first person invented.
Thanks Europe.😚 this is real globalisation . Something can be made easier without fuel, electric or elon musk innovation.
Please do not show your ignorance here. Scythe solves the problem of manpower. India does not have that problem.
Yes you rich looters.
It's cool seeing a European tool that's been around for 100s of years having a positive effect for these folks 😃
The scythe is ancient..
How wonderful that the Minister of Agriculture gave it a try! I have been limited to a sickle and rotary mower in my yard, which is really a meadow. Back breaking! My scythe will be here soon, and I'm so happy, so this video resonated with me. I lived in Austria and have never forgotten the families out with their scythes gathering hay for the cows. Never saw a rake attachment like here, though.
Great to see the use of new tool for crop harvesting. They are looking happy to use the tools instead of sickle only.
YT recommended this after 4 year of uploading. And this is crop-harvest time in India..Really amazing tool and easy to use .. Much much appreciated.. The best thing is it can be used with hands , no other machinery power needed...
I am from farmer family and I also worked in field .
This device is God gifted for poor farmer I love those man who make it👏👏👏

Not to mention that our culture is so different from yours that it's hard to grasp if it's serious or just humor. You see, in india we don't consider bullying or disrespecting other countries to be humor.
this is so cool. i'm glad you could help these people out. being bent over cutting them with the sickle looks literally back breaking compared to using a scythe
It's nice to see old technology getting a second life somewhere else.

Great to see the efficiency of the scythe used properly and the pleasure such a simple tool makes to a way of life.
Love to see the farmers working in the field and women are doing shoulder to shoulder with men. All awesome.
Blessings to you for your wonderful work on this project, improving the lives of so many with this wonderful tool. I just love appropriate technology fueled by body power.
I use my scythes almost every day of the year on my little farm, sometimes against the backdrop of a gang of massive 4WD tractors slaying silage across the road. I encourage anyone to trade in their brushcutter or strimmer for one of these marvelous implements.

Good tools for poor farmers, very very thanks for this tools.
Been a long time since I saw my grandfather use a scythe. I had sort of classed them as a bygone thing. I am glad I was wrong. Anything that allows increased productivity for a family with only the expenditure of your hard work is definitely a good thing. Wonderful.

Using a scythe is both fun and healthy when you learn how to do it properly (it's not rocket science, just keep your back straight and your feet away from the blade). If you have a large backyard trimming the grass with a scythe instead of a lawn mauler can be a nice workout alternative.
Patrick Mulcahy cable
In Romania as a young I learned to use it as my family have lots of land and we cannot let him overgrow.
I always pressed the issue that is not effective and labor intensive and there needs to be another way to cut grass on the slopes, but I never imagined that some parts of the world did not have even the scythe as a concept.
I would say, from my experience, that for cutting hay is not very effective when compared with modern tools, but for harvesting small plots of cereal grass still is, also for cultivated grass as Alfalfa is still moderate effective.
(I think they need a more light leading device)
Vasile Iuga the first time i ever used a scythe was in Romania
Well the harvest isnt nearly finished here. There follow 3 very labour intesiv steps after cutting it.
Vasile Iuga okay Dwight Schrute
Of course it isn't good compared to the huge tractor we have that can affect more than 3 times the scythe but the scythe is one of the best farming tool
@@balinoob1837
3 times? You mean a hundred times and more
You have to factor in the speed as well
And its more than 3 times the lengh...around 12 m
Good to see Scythe being introduced to our farmers😊..... Now they should use the long blades.....
This is also what the future of farming looks like in the modern (exploitative) world.
Probably not. We'll move to battery driven harvesters that you charge with a small local nuclear reactor before we go back to using scythes.
this tool was invented 2500 years ago, and was widely used in Europe 800 years ago. It's shocking some people are just learning about it now.

Working so hard. Hats off to people who are helping them with basic tools available. Many of our farmers need awareness.
Jai jawaan jai kisaan.
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
.
bright future for the scythe in India,for sure
Amazing work sir... Very helpful for farmer's
Great video. Learning curve with the scythe, but well worth it. Technique, sharp blade and blade care makes it slice like butter.

It's good to see that an old tool still has a home. For these people who don't have access to mechanized farm equipment, a scythe must be such an amazing boon.
The one man said "It literally gives us freedom." I can imagine all the hours that such a tool frees up for them. 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.
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.
@@threeriversforge1997 tell that to the farmer (and his wife) that doesn't have to put all fourteen of his kids to work in the fields and can, instead, send his *four* kids to school while he takes care of his entire property with a handful of mechanical equipment and you still get to enjoy the fruits of that's labor. His kids can become doctors, engineers, whatever they want while he remains a farmer. All without destroying his body and looking like an 80 year old man by the time he's 40.
Not all crops can be harvested by a scythe... Like, say, potatoes.

We westerners, or at least some of us won't get it that this was a great community event, and discovery of this 'new farming tool'. Even had the Minister of Agriculture using a scythe. Great occasion for the local population there. Some of us in the western world have forgotten how normal communities work given with these modern times, with all our wonderful technology how we have become so insular, and uncaring about our immediate neighbours down our streets.

Pro’s for a sickle: More precise- can make sure that weeds aren’t harvested with grain; less grain lost/kicked out of the stalk during cutting.

Thanks for choosing my Kanpur to demonstrate this tool. It has amazing speed and good for India where manual labour is used in agriculture.
But this tool seems to be too much unsafe. Check if safety can be enhanced.
If properly trained it is a really safe tool. You just have to watch out that there is nobody standing in the way.
The blade always stays far away from the person cutting.
One must be careful. A sharpened scythe blade seems sharper than a razor blade for beards. One could put a cover on the tip. But children and animals should be kept far away and the handler remain watchful. We do not allow children around the scythe - even when it is not being used.
please dont forget to emphasize how one should hold/operate it. If one individual uses it wrongly, over time he can develop severe back-pain!
lolaras I would say squatting and crawling on your knees like they were doing at the start would bring far greater pain. I agree instructions are important.
NME10E no that is what humans did before chairs were invented. you see people in tribes with almost no cases of back pain

Why they don't do the spin move like Link in Zelda?

i feel like putting on a shoulder strap, similar to an electric guitar (BUT with only ONE attached point on the scythe instead of two), would make it much better and easier, having a fixed fulcrum to swing from without having to bend forwards.
or a pivot near the end of the scythe, attached to a belt.

Wild that India successfully sent a probe to Mars but was missing medieval era agricultural tech
gotta have priorities
Well yeh when there a massive part of the country that has progressed they have to move forward and explore beyond so those that have progressed can use their skills, its as simple as that.
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?
Also what makes you think there is no agromechinery in India? Does people with less than an acre use agromechinery in your country? If you don't know, ask. Don't flaunt your prejudice, arrogance and complete lack of knowledge. Also, if you don't know how having a space program helps people of India, ask. I can elaborate
@@aleenaprasannan2146 Whoa, easy there. I wasn't making a serious criticism of India's technological development or anything of the sort. It was just a silly observation of the disparity of technological advancement in different fields.

Stand with farmers ❤️
It's beautiful technique
Farmer is veary happy .It's a beautifull idea
Looks so swesome , early morning sunshine , farms ..
Pros
.Work will become easy
.Reduce the production cost
.Work will be done in less time in contrast with traditional system
.Best for small and marginal farmers
Cons
.will eradicate the jobs of labour which directly effect their livelihood.
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.

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?!

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.
BluSpecter454 no Indian farmers traditionally used sickle.
Oooor the Indian Agricultural Research Institute itself knew about it, and was raising awareness among a greater farming population that did NOT know about it.

Vishvakarman, India's God of Technology and Invention, has given them one gift and has hidden other gifts for those willing to search for them.
One can search on youtube how to make and use the following: Scythe (one can straighten a sickle blade and add a staff/pole to it so the blade back rests on the ground and blade edge sits 2-3 fingers above the ground, and maybe add two handles for the hand to hold the scythe in a more comfortable positon), flying shuttle loom (for making textiles more easily), cargo/freight trikes with two wheels in the front and the cargo between the front wheels (because they are more stable at high speeds, especially while turning at high speeds; if using a drive shaft instead of chain, they can be made out of entirely wood and rope, and can help people move very fast), making paper from grass and optionally adding "pickling mother" or kombucha (instead of seaweed, obtained by letting a liquid with biomass content ferment/rot with air access and form a top layer), block printing (wood-block printing and terracotta-block printing), ash-and-oil or ash-and-egg ink/paint (for printing with), and maybe making all of those with as little metal as possible, and an emphasis on woodworking, using saws, chisels for wood, spoke-shave, wooden planes, and wooden wedges for splitting logs into planks without sawing them.

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
@@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. Like in our home, there is just 2 or 3 things that we use wheat form and they might be used just once in a week. That's like a few grams for a week
Yes you rich looters.
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.
