When I was a kid there was an old man who lived a few miles down the road from us. He still farmed with horses. I would ride my horse out to watch. One of his horses was injured so we used my old mare to plow with It was quite a shock for both her and me. She was just an old gentle mare and took to pulling a plow easily. I on the other hand plowed rows, according to the old man, like a snake crawled.

So unusual that an Amish man would be willing to be photographed, and especially to do a video with you. Which makes this all the more special. The Amish I have met over the years have been lovely people.

Thank you for sharing

I hope teaching is in Andy Weaver's past, present or future because he would make an excellent one. Really nice video!

@9:20 the young man is holding a Seventh day Adventist Hymnal? Nice collection of hymns.

Great video! Thanks Chad. Love to see the kids singing! 8 kids - beautiful family ....how lucky they are!💥💥💥💞

This is like an interview with someone from the 1840s... what a fascinating way of life being preserved! Greetings from the UK🇬🇧

Awesome! Thank you! May God bless you and your family

I am dumb as a rock when it comes to pre-tiller plowing. My property came with rusty bits of old plows that I could never make heads nor tails of. So I set out this evening to educate myself. First came the plow. In my case a single horse walking plow. Then the hookup to the horse. And now the plowing itself including what comes next as in dragging down the hills. Thank you 50 times!! My best to your Amish friend and family as well.May come a time when the most popular guy on the whole block is the one with a horse plow. Norm way down in Alabama

I loved this one! We can learn so much from the Amish. Be sure to show us more of what you learn from them.

So amazing and beautiful to see

Thanks for sharing. I'm really interested

What a beautiful way of life. Thank you for sharing!

I wish they have vlogs, like during their family worship. I love to hear their children singing.

I’ve plowed with a sulky plow before. We have rocks, always a thrill when you hit good sized rock

All there kids look happy and healthy

It is so neat to see this up-close!

very Nice terra

Many blessings to this family ! We’ll keep them in our prayers for their ministry! Maranatha!

Thank you for posting .....a blessing

I great grandfather ploughed this way.

One man plowed quarter acre in under an hour? Then a day's work would be about 2 acres, that's an impressive pace for animal drawn machines

This was so awesome!

Very interesting video, thanks. How bout one that deals with the horses.....how they're trained, how you drive them, voice commands, harness input, etc.?

Our farm is in Ashland, an amish country. It's just amazing what they do with agriculture.

Is anybody help me to devolope this kind of plow please

Amish typically won’t be in videos…. Still fascinating though.

Sorry, but I thought it was taboo to record videos on the Amish? They seem like nice people and he seems cool with it, but is he currently Amish or raised Amish? What’s considered polite today?

What do you do next to get the land ready for planting? Are there other implements that are needed to get the soil ready for planting?

Notice Andy’s children are not indoors glued to a screen? When I drive through most neighborhoods nowadays it’s more often than not so deathly quiet.

Nice

What a happy life

Small farms are best.

is this in ontario canada

Nice I just hope these horses don't have to live in tie stalls!

😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍😉😘

Thanks for the video I am from Dallas Texas and now living in Rwanda Africa. I wanted to buy this pioneer plow Can anyone give me the contact number of this Amish farmer. Thanks 🙏

So many people do not know anything about Mennonites. In fact you are speaking to one, using a computer.

Lord God, please bless our family with attributes of economic security for a country living in sustainable preparedness. Lord, together or apart, and hopefully together and not apart, please prepare our family to leave the cities for country living, to raise our own food, and make our own previsions, before the passing of the Sunday Law which is the mark of the best, before we are not able as Adventist Christians to buy or sell. God like the Christian prepares and the Amish bless our family to find an affordable place out of the city to be on our own land without having to rent, in an all brick, two-family home with a two-door garage, if at all possible with a healthy and dependable water source, lumber, with good soil, and the houses are not close together, the green hills valleys where we can be witness for Jesus Christ while waiting Jesus Christ return, productively.

Close to the earth, Close to God.

All the things we “English” need to relearn!

Goes to show you don’t need a tractor if you’re a hardworking man but I guess people like big toys and spend money 🤷🏻‍♂️
