Its not too difficult to discern from reality to what a television producer and film crew do to sell to an audience. Its a bunch of sensational nonsense, dramatized to apparently capture viewers. If they went in and filmed the everyday mundane lives of the amish or anyone for that matter, it won't sell. What does that say about society, we feed off the misfortune or undesirable high profile events of others when conflict arises? That's how they see it, feed the masses what they want, which is entirely sad.
They show a lot of destruction of property amongst each other, conflicts with "english" that cater to stray amish or those who are vulnerable and are exploring the world outside their young amish livestyle. So we are shown home wrecking and destruction of bridges that used to connect people? That's some great content.
Its purely evident that depicting field work, livestock care, putting food on the table, good honest craftsmanship, raising barns or useful buildings, recreation, family or "amish events" good honest dealings between people, people respecting each other and working together, resolving conflicts or problems in a civil manner, has no place in this television producers agenda. Anyone with a hint of morality would never give a show like this much credibility with the exception of recognizing that much of the world operates this way, and the minority is those that do not.
Maybe when things get worse, there will be a show that documents the honorable way of life, because it will be as rare as some aborigine tribe that has never seen the world outside of their realm.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
