How is the scythe a Holistic Solution?

Combine

Rs 1500/acre
(rent)
Rs 500/acre
(labour)
Rs 0 
(threshing costs)
Rs 15000 worth of straw wastage 
(roughly 30 quintals per acre)
Rs 3000-4500 worth of grain wastage 
(roughly 2-3 quintals per acre)
Rs 21000 
(total cost of harvesting an acre)

Sickle

Rs 0
(rent)
Rs 3000-3500/acre
(labour)
Rs 3500/acre 
(threshing costs)
Straw wastage almost zero 
(entire straw available as fodder)
Grain wastage almost zero 
(grain loss due to shedding is negligible)
Rs 6500-7000 
(total cost of harvesting an acre)

The Scythe

Rs 0
(rent)
Rs 600-1000/acre
(labour)
Rs 3500/acre 
(threshing costs)
Straw wastage almost zero 
(entire straw available as fodder)
Grain wastage almost zero 
(grain loss due to shedding is negligible)
Rs 4000-4500 
(total cost of harvesting an acre)
Harvesting with the scythe therefore helps a farmer save Rs 2500-3000 per acre compared to a sickle
and Rs 16000-17000 per acre compared to a combine harvester
Add to this the fact that harvesting with the sickle involves a lot of drudgery and harvesting with combines
leads to social evils like unemployment and environmental hazards like “straw burning”
It thus becomes a question of providing a solution which is holistic, both in its approach towards the Indian farmer
and its impact on the society and environment at large
That’s why we believe that the Scythe is The Solution that we all have been looking for!
