One of our Amish neighbors farms the organic way. It seems very interesting to me how they use a 6-horse power plow ;) Excuse the shaky images. This was taken with my phone.

@crazychariotgrabber9085 I have no problem, but i was just pointing out that these people keep these traditions largely out of fear of being expelled from their friends and family forever if they disobey their councils rules. It is a brutal and savage way to run a society. Yes many of the "back to earth" methods of the amish are fantastic but you must keep in mind the reasons that they are doing it, aka they have to or they are evicted from their communities and may never speak to their friends and families again. Quite a threat to hold over an entire communities head.

They even have Amish friendly solar powered ones these days. And the pregnancy thing? Geez, that's how you replace the buggers, AND make a profit off of them. Can't do that with tractor.

Often times the Amish will are experts caring for their livestock and rarely need the actual services of a veterinarian, but they will buy their supplies and medications from a vet, especially now as laws have changed on dispensing antibiotics and so forth. We have a lady vet who works with the amish in this area and they will either barter with her or pay cash.
