Pitchfork

Add Pitchfork.
Similar function to Wheelbarrow, but must be held in two hands. Recipe unlocks the same way as Scythe.
Moves stockpile of Flax, Straw, and similar types of plants (maybe also Tree bough) with minimal movement speed.

...rendered redundant with the introduction of Sacks?

I struggle to imagine another use for this otherwise quite plausible tool. Poking livestock to extract blood (to be added soon)?

Decorative clutter to be built and lain alongside sheds and farmhouses

That did give me an idea. Usable as a weapon, miniscule damage, Adds block weight depending on your Farming skill.

That is just dumb enough for jorb to insta-fall in love with the idea, then he implements it, then it gets abused by PvPers and core community complains and whine and it gets reimagined as a totally useless crap noone cares about i.e. clutter. You should go and make a separate thread, for reals.
