Like others have said, it depends. We have a fairly large group of amish about 40 miles north of us. Some years ago I used to help out a friend on weekends and haul milk. This group of amish don`t have electricity in their barns or houses, but do have deep wells to use for the farm. Hard part was that they wouldn`t put an outlet anywhere so you could plug in the pump on the truck. We had to carry a gas pup engine to run the pump. You`d pick it up on one end of the route and drop it off at the last amish farm. Bad part was if you got messed up as to what end of the route the engine was on, you`d kill about an hour starting at the other end and back tracking back.. About six years ago menonittes started buying dairy farms just north of us, within a short time they owned 10-12 good sized farms. Alot of their equipment they trucked up from indiana, the rest they bought here. They are very modern, cell phones, late model equipment and vehicles. Most live too far out of town, but a few have shown interest in joining the local fire dept and ambulance. Biggest thing with them is they seem to be very group oriented. I own a repair shop and did two jobs within a short time for one guy. Seemed like after that, they figured out we were trustworthy, now we work for them all the time. They all drive black vehicles, with the radio antennas removed. Most have a tape or cd player in them though.. One cool thing about them is in the summer the teens will come to town and play softball or tennis. Looks neat to see 20 or better teenage kids, girls in dresses, boys all dressed alot alike playing softball. Reminds me of little house on the prairie.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
