To those that complain that the Amish come in and throw up a house that may reduce your own property value, do you not realize that the roles could easily be reversed?
What happens when the millionaire buy the 80 acres next door, instead of the Amish family, and builds his sprawling mansion, then leans on the local council to come down on you and your modest $150,000 home because you are now lowering the value of his property? Files complaints because you sometimes leave a couple tractors parked in the yard? Files complaints because you have a hobby garden but don't have any water runoff containment to keep fertilizers/pesticides out of the ditches? Files complaints because your 125 year old barn that your grandfather built is in disrepair and is an eyesore and persuades the city council to declare it condemned so you have to tear it down? And through all this, your property taxes skyrocket because of the new mansion next door!! Then what would have to say?
If you don't want the Amish (or anyone else) moving in next door, you should buy the property before they can. Can't afford it, well you and your like minded neighbors pool your money together and use it for a park or ball fields and such.
Oh, but you can't do that either cause the Gov't won't let you because its not zoned for that, or there needs to be environmental studies done, or traffic impact studies, or mountains of permits, regulations and insurance documents to swim through...
Don't think the above can happen to you? It happens every day.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
