better buy a modern scythe, old ones are heavy compare to aluminum ones and the new steel blades are sharper. It also takes alot of effort and fitness. I felt like I was beaten up like a pinata at an mlb batter try out.
Amish will trim herds once they don’t have transport for goods.
Is your fencing pig proof without a hot wire? Do you do the castration yourself? Do you have transport to work on local farms? Chicken food for winter? Battery and solar hot wire have failures do you have back up?
How are you going to process and store the pork with no power? What are you going to wrap it in? What if you get a disease outbreak? What about water, hogs and cow take alot of water, a small half gallon well bucket means 24 hour water pulling shift.
Water for your crops,? Fire fighting?
Then cutting wood to heat how to do it and get it back to house season it and keep it safe. Can you sharpen a two man saw?
In winter how do you shovel to next farm to get your milk? How do you move hay and grains if you can find it? Ask Amish neighbour all the time? Now if you get big round bales how could you without farm equipment Get it to your animals?
Then add 24/7 security patrol if you hope to keep thwives away.
