[AT] Now NC twisters: -now hail vegetable discussion

Charlie,
     Please do not take offense, but I think you meant to write _sickle_ 
bar cutter.  If it were sharp and in really good shape, it would likely 
leave less trauma to the plant.  Now, mine is never very sharp, nor is 
it in top shape after mowing road shoulders on gravel roads.  A disc 
mower came to my mind for this experiment but I have no experience with 
them.  They are out of my budget range.  Too new.
