We have many Amish families moving in a few miles to the north of us.The farms there are Just a bit more hilly, with smaller fields and not great for cash cropping. These folks are selling one farm in south westeren Ontario for one million or so and buying two or three farms for the value of the one they sold.Seems like most of them now have a cell phone, but will not have a hard wired phone, as they cannot connect to the government regulated grid . Same goes for electricity, they can and due have solar power panels on their roofs to make power for light, but once again cannot hook to the grid.While they can hire you to drive them some where, they cannot have a car, because car owners must carry insurance, another government regulated business. And that is all fine with me, they also will not take old age pension, welfare or unemployment insur. They do pay the same taxes as everyone else. Don't beg for hand outs, or demand special rights. They work hard, and look after each other, so what is wrong with that. Some folks don't like them because they are thrifty ,hard working and very devoted to their faith, and philosophy of being in the world and not of the world. Seems too baf to me more people don't share some of the Amish virtues of a plain and simple life, and the blessings of a close faimly.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. 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
