Like everything else big business/co-opts push the smaller farmer out of business. It shouldn't be hard to tell the difference in what is truly organic, but with labeling laws some can make you thing you are getting organic but it is really not.

I'm so confused. That link was not much of an article, but in scrolling through the photos I saw the use of a tractor. I was surprised, so I googled "do Amish use tractors?" The answer is sometimes, yes.

But now I don't understand why there are websites such as www.amishamerica.com and www.amishreader.com

Do the Amish use computers?

Not as far as the bishop knows. We have a very conservative order of amish in our community. I am friends with several, one that I know has an iphone stashed at the English neighbor's house.

They can use computers, but they have to be made of wood, and coal-fired. And they can't be used for computing.

Most of Amish farms around here will sell most of their milk to the dairies then keep some for themselves or sell to those that want raw milk (not me). And yes they will use tractors (steel wheels), weedeaters, generators and telephones (land line & cell) but none of these things are allowed in the house. Funny to see flashing LED lights on the buggies but it keep them safer on the roads. There is an live stock auction house not to far from I have been to where the auction clerk (big fat Amishman in his straw hat and handmade pants, shirt and coat) pecking away on a computer keyboard, I forgot no shoes. They are very nice folks but does take some work to get them to warm up a bit, they like to keep to themselves. Chris

Thank you for the clarification, I am not fluent in bendable myself, but I find his topic choices rather entertaining and well you know, "Different". Posts about favorite socks and best kitchen towels are welcome.

I think if the dairy farmers would take a good hard look at the crop farmers and their history , they would learn a great lesson and be much happier in the long run.

Instead it has been Amish farmers who, in their suspenders and wide-brimmed hats, have helped develop one of the densest clusters of organic farms in the United States.


I'm confused, are they talking Amish or Hipster?

I have no opinion on the milk issue. Can't hardly stomach the stuff anymore.

The Amish, on the other hand, are a nuisance in my area. They impede traffic, have little concern for the safety of themselves or others on the roads and are generally horrible in regards to how they treat their animals. I would also appreciate more regular personal hygiene from most I have had contact with. Weekly is not sufficient bathing during Midwestern summers.

70 years ago the midwestern farmers had their own 260 acre farms and rented an additional 160 or 240 acres to farm as well, but alomost all of them had cows ,chickens, sheep or pigs as well.

They were very diverse and as happy is the month is long . ( but they worked 9 hour days , )

Now there are 1/10 the number of farmers , but they are farming corn and beans only (most of them) they are farming 70,000 - 140,000 acres.

they all got way big. now they worry, toil, fret, and whine on a daily basis because all their eggs are in one basket , ( so to speak) instead of four or five.

So when china, or someone decides to buy from Argentina ,instead of Iowa , the prices can go crazy low .
instead of making 14 million , they only turn 4 million.

they need to concentrate on feeding 200 people ,instead of 200,000 people
