Tell me your freakin’ clueless without telling me you are freakin’ clueless. You speak like you actually know something but you really are just plain ignorant.

The South became "poor" as a result of the War of Northern Aggression and Reconstruction (the South was occupied by the Northern Army for 12 yeas after the War). Before the War the South was the richest part of the country. People in Kentucky and Tennessee were mostly small farmers. There were no coal mines and no poverty.

The Amish have beautiful homes. I just was in Lancaster

I really wish I can visit

Chris Smith you are missing the point of this lifestyle. Living an organic way without harming your body and the environment. I only realized this doing my missions with farmers here in Palawan Philippines. To give you an idea Chris organics food is twice as much healthier that foods grown used in agro chemical farming. You will have the same product but the benefits won't be the same. Am an accountant back when I was in Chicago but I will choose an Amish lifestyle the the former. For sure the benefits on your body is tremendously far better than the latter. I may look clean as accountant me And my family ended up dying from cancer. Except me, a group of farmer nurtured my body back to health thank God by living and eating like this Amish people and adopting the farmers way of life. No more cancer for me now and I survived it. Now it's my third time to survived my clean living only to realized the benefits living filthy as you described. No pun intended, while you still have a chance, try to study and learn their way. You will thank me later. Now I'm the farmers champion, as much as I can do to spend my remaining days to further adapt theirvway of life. Visit my fb and see how i lived RAPTURO READY. GBU!

Thanks for watching and commenting. Both are much appreciated.

There's something to be said for working smarter not harder. That's the beauty of modern technology.

@@Patrick-sg7cm Yep, I understand why the Amish choose to do things the way they do them. The part I don't understand is others fascination with doing things the hard way. If all farmers still did things this way then a much larger percentage of our population would need to be farmers in order to support the food needs of the country.

@@Nick-tm2sw yes, it would be impossible to 8 billion people doing things the way the Amish do

Thanks for watching.

The difference between a solid community where the kid works and is healthy and life in the bad areas of the big city where the kid is on drugs and not looking so healthy. Guess what the government wants you to do.

Thanks so much for watching and the awesome story. Much appreciated.

One winter, my dad removed three feet of our gutter cleaner, chain, and welded the chain links back to original size. He would reinstall the repaired chain each day, and repair another three feet.

Brought back memories for me too.

Thank you so much Jon. I do appreciate your kind words.

Thanks so much for watching. I love the smell of not only fresh silage but fermented also. Both bring back fond memories of childhood.

we a 56 ford Major lol we had open pit silage, I loved the fermented smell on a cold winter morning

Thank you very much for watching. I appreciate your time.

same, alot of small square bale stacking on wagon. then hay loft im talking few thousands. hand shoving cow manure. we had a front loader. but was broken 99% of time. hand milking for a few years then we went electronic or computer.

We milked 60 cows twice a day, and could bale 1200 square bales a day, when the weather cooperated. Long hard hours, but I enjoyed it back then. Now, it would kill me.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Both mean a lot!

Matthew 5 : 5 _"Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth."_ The Amish will be the only man remaining after we destroy ourselves with technology - hopefully we'll pump the brakes when we get too close to building "The Terminator". ... but I'm not at all certain we will.

This generation of kids we have today would not last 30 minutes if they would even try and do this kinda work today!!!!

I always thought amish werent allowed to use gasoline engines

@@MsErikdeking The use of any type of engine can be different in different Orders of Amish. There are some Amish that won't even ride bicycles and others that own big tractors with metal wheels so they cant actually be driven on roads. The majority do actually use gasoline or diesel engines that generate power for their tools such as saws but don't use any electricity at all. There are many false believes about Amish out there such as only married men are allowed to have beards. This is true in many Orders but some do allow it. I have been driving them for close to 3 years and they are without a doubt some of the nicest most loyal friends anyone could ask for. I had a medical issue 2 years ago and had 8 cords of firewood delivered and 8 Amish men showed up one morning and stacked it in my basement before noon and refused any payment other than the breakfast my wife fixed them.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It surely is a beautiful area.

Me too. My mom used to catch a ride home from the bus stop with an Amish guy and his wife in Strasburg.

There is no place more beautiful!

Thanks for watching. Many of the crops grown here are GMO especially with the prodding to go no-till. There has to be some way to control the weed population. “Round-Up” ready GMO seed is the usual choice. Tilling can be used to control weed population but then there’s the problem of silt/fertilizer runoff pollution. There’s no perfect solution. There are organic farms here but they have their own set of environmental problems…plastic to control weeds, tilling and runoff,…. A huge waste of crop that isn’t high enough quality to be sold to organic buyers….

Jesus has all the ethics you need everything else is flesh.

Funny. They do actually use Chemical Pesticides & Roundup. Each year I visit a particular farm to get 4 or 5 50lb bags of potatoes 🥔. It was then I noticed it. And they acknowledged it.

And even if they work hard, I guess they don‘t get „used“ or depressif.

Thanks so much Opa. To read some of these comments about the draft animals and how they are abused and overworked is laughable. The world seems filled with opinions from ignorant people though. I appreciate you watching!!

No farmer would abuse their animals. They were his bread and butter.

Thank you very much!

Did their slaves pick all the corn or did they help any?

@@jimmydean5663 they were too poor to own slaves .Momons are anti slaves and war

@@jimmydean5663 Lol karen

Thanks for watching and commenting. Both are greatly appreciated.

Yeah, the hired teens don’t go near that part of the operation. That’s why you’ll see them driving the horses. Too dangerous.

@@LancoAmish Wise and caring individual you are.

We lost a neighbor to a silo filler in the early 1950s, no one knows how it happened just that the tractor ran till it was out of gas and the farmer was in the silo that's all folks.

@@frankdeegan8974 Complacency, and loose clothing. That usually does it. I knew a guy that lost an uncle to a corn combine. My dad got caught in a PTO once, but his brother was there to shut it off. Also, there are people that are just risk takers and always have to flirt with danger.

Thanks so much for watching. I’m sure one day in the distant future the Amish will be harvesting corn the way it’s done now. 🙂

It all depends on how the machines may affect the family and community. Too much mechanization leads to too much free time both of which can negatively affect the closeness of both.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.

I believe the school is named for Lancaster County…The Garden Spot of America. I’m in Paradise, just a bit of a distance south of New Holland.

those are not true amish you saw tractor and skid steer along with the woman on left of screen with bag of chips ?

Also the first machine had an engine on it

@@tobypoje2082 they use engines

Such is the way of life

@@cpt8424 At least we can spell. Have a nice day.

Thank you so much for watching.

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. Deeply appreciated!

I don't see how you done anything but hold your stomach eating all that food. Light breakfast like biscuits and sausage gravy, or sausage biscuit, pack of nabs at 10. Sandwiches for lunch and bag of chips. Then you eat until you can't anymore for supper. But your really suppose to do it opposite I've read. Eat a king's breakfast, a princes lunch, and a peasant's supper. Either way I normally skip breakfast, and depending on how hot it is sometimes lunch, or just a chicken salad sandwich at most in hot parts of year. Then I'm starving by supper and eat to much. Your stomach is suppose to be your bodies natural alarm system if you eat right. I'm more of a water and powerade drinker instead of eating. I feel it slows me down to much. But then again ive never walked behind a team of mules or horses so there's that.

Loggers in Oregon eat the same, when you burn calories you must replenish.

These activities were major social events for the neighborhood. The food was fabulous. Grdandma even made home made donuts, lemonade, coffee . i loved thesse stories.

Thank you so much for watching.

Thank you for watching and commenting. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks for watching Erwin. Farming was definitely done a lot different in your Grampa’s day that’s for sure.

I say yes and no because if they lived the truth of the word of God then they are doing it right. Awake Amish and search it out in the word of God of your follies. There are other communities around the world doing it the modern ways and still are beautiful honest loving people which makes the world a better place. The Amish behind the seen have their problems also, so no different to the modern farmers who are good people also.

Maybe you should ask the horses about that. I have seen and heard over and over how the Amish, who people like you are always touting, mistreat their livestock. Horses that show up at auction houses are barely alive and usually not even worth the slaughterhouse.

@@GeekRex Yes I have heard of some abuses toward some Amish owned horses. There are far more abuses in the non Amish communities toward animals. But you are way off point and in left field somewhere because that is not the issue. The issue is the sale of butchered meats. If you think that a USDA inspected meat is actually inspected well you are mistaken. So you are against the private harvest of meats? I live on a Farm and the meat product is of a much higher grade before the livestock is sold to those that pump them up for slaughter The products are half of the quality of what they were upon slaughter. How about the feds stripping your means of life and the manner you support yourself

@@davidpotts3844 You are the one that is way off base. I simply stated that the Amish are not who they are made out to be. Taking care of their God's creatures is supposed to be a priority. They don't live up to it.

@@GeekRex The issue is that the Feds raided and shut down a family's livelihood to further and Agenda that want us all to be dependent on a failing Government system of total control. This is an infringement on our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is a violation of our Constitutional Rights. Our Government is over reaching of their Authority. They want us to be solely dependent on their Authority only. This is them telling the people we don't have the right to produce food to feed ourselves. This Family wasn't selling their products to the general population it was a members only and was not in violation of the Laws/ Regulations. The point is the over reach of Government against the people. The Farm they shut down just happened to be Amish and that is not the point. Today it's that Family tomorrow it's you and your Family and then it's the total extermination. How we soon forget what Hitler did and we are replaying that same playbook

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate that very much.

No tractor

No puncture repair and if you don't use it on road it is a better way to have it!

@@rogermorrill4700 there was a tractor

@@lookingglass9175 when I saw comment was seeing steel wheels on binder, no tractor in sight

Thanks a lot for watching. It’s often very difficult to judge volumes when making videos. I hear you because my wife says the same sometimes.

I’ve purchased a lot of lumber from the Amish in Pulaski, NY. I think they’re charging 52 cents a board foot for pine and hemlock!!

@@LancoAmish that is a cheap price per board foot for pine and hemlock lumber. I love to go salmon fishing in Pulaski, NY. Every fall. Such an awesome experience and a beautiful area Central New York is.

@@smn39 , we just sold a camp we owned on Lake Ontario just south of the Salmon River. It was, as my brother called it, Camp Vicious. Mexico Bay is an absolute monster when the wind comes out of the west. We couldn’t keep up with the constant damage.

They can sell it cheaper because they pay no taxes.

@@jeromestrange9 , my goodness, the “no taxes, is such a bunch of BS. Why would the owners of these sawmills write out receipts complete with quantity, price per board foot, total sales, and state sales tax? Kind of weird to create a paper trail when they are supposedly breaking the law don’t you think?

No reason for the mix of horses and mules. The ones you see here just seem to work well together. Stacking is a hard job. The jobs are rotated regularly except for the young boys and girls who do not stack nor unload. The high moisture silage ferments in the silo. Properly done silage should be mold free.

@@LancoAmish Thanks for these answers. I used to watch the Amish doing their work in Lancaster County when visiting the Strasburg Railroad. I'd walk the 5 miles of the line and that way could see them at work. I always admired their way with horses and their hard work.

@@LancoAmish silage only molds if it the silage get air during and after the curing process.. in the 1970s i worked on a goat farm in northern norway.. we made silage even right after rain,, wet grass just ment we needed to add a bit more formic acid to the gras if it was a wet summer, by changing the nozzle of the formic acid sprayer mounted on the harvester.. here is a pic of the type of setup we used:: media.snl.no/media/42712/standard_compressed_forhoester.jpg

@@rogerhuber3133 It is sauerkraut for cattle.

My grandfather taught me how to hook up a work horse and use a single row corn binder. (it was the late 1970s)... I barely remember it all, but 40+ years later I wish I could have filmed it. We didn't have an external power supply, if I remember it was about 16 stalks to the bundle.

Thanks for watching. Here’s a playlist called Amish Harvest Series” from my channel Garden Spot Acres. kzfaq.info/sun/PL-eb85NLna_1E2pjUOWzIQkYZgqEqa1Gk I’ll be putting more new videos out this week and into the Fall concerning harvest by the Amish

Thanks for watching. The Amish do March ahead just a bit slower than many.

@@LancoAmish Here in NJ in the eighties, when I was a kid, belt driven cutter-blowers would occasionally show up on farm estate auctions, pulled out of the barn where they sat unused for 30-40 years. They always ended up on a truck to Lancaster County. I suppose since they've all been worn out, the Amish had no choice but to advance a bit.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much for watching!! Yes, they eat it. It’s chopped up pretty good. It doesn’t harm them.

I don't think there is any twine

Ernie, oh yes there is, it's also binder twine NOT baler twine, smaller diameter.

@robert.h: yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

It’s grass twine

Yeah, a gasoline engine + horses, so strange a combo. Not religious, so what do i know.
