Farming - Page 2

Much of that green is food, either for people or cattle, which is indirectly for people. These pictures are of Amish farms. The Amish people generally don't use chemicals but rely on old fashioned methods of farming. They use horses and mules rather than tractors. They also shun automobiles and electricity unless they generate it themselves. They have their own schools, don't go into the army and do not participate in the social security system. They live among but separate from the other people in the area with little friction. Their religion/lifestyle is allowed to function separately because we have freedom.

This house and barn was built about a year ago, near the edge on a Mennonite farm. The barn is just big enough for the horses to pull the buggy and a kennel for a bunch of Golden Retrievers. You can just see the orange safety triangle on the back of the buggy in the barn.
I've been by here at night and they use kerosine lamps in the house but there is electric lines going into the barn.
My guess is that this couple retired then built this house when the oldest son took over the farm.

Almost summer.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-19-2004, 10:18 PM

It looks good, feels good and even smells good, right after the rain.
