Oh de DYIN'!!! When are you posting your pics from the hand mowing competition? Don't leave me hangin'! How much do I love that the Atlantic Farmer article covering the competition last year says there was a "respectable crowd of spectators", which as you can see from the photo, is all of about 50 people. Oh Lun. Co! AD
