    There is a story about amish farmer in Missouri who made an extremely high yield of winter wheat the university of Missouri Extension service flocked out to his farm and asked him how he made such a high yield he replied I had 3 barns full of manure and 4 strong boys. They shook their heads and left.. it's called recycling

I can't understand the way some look down on these people... mostly out of ignorance I guess. I saw something on TV a few years ago about how Amish businesses have among the highest success rates in the country, something like ~90%. All about the work ethic

    I remember the old, old house! 1963, I was 3. my first memory. I went in to my grandma and grandpas house. no electricity, no bathroom. My cousin Bud took me there. Walked into the living room. A potbellied stove set in the corner. I was burnt severly on it in 61, don't remember that but still 55 years later I still have the scars on my hand and both legs. I remember my mom and sis and grandma in the kitchen. Grandma or Mom went to the stove and got me a bowl of beans. I'am pretty sure it was a wood burning stove. First meal I remember. Just a thought! Don't know why this video brought this memory back, but it did. Have a nice day my friends.

    Oh I LOVE YOU, you're amazing to do video's like this! I have Mennonite and Amish in my family, part of them being IN Lancaster, Pennsylvania - one was a master carpenter who did beautiful work and taught his sons, another was a very experienced and talented midwife whose crafts and knit/crochet (which she will deny until she dies of old age) are so beautiful, especially her quilts and clothing - we used to write letters A LOT - I miss them so much, God love you for doing this. Am crying but they're happy tears because they remind me of my extended family and how close at one time we used to be. I haven't been to Lancaster since I was 9 or 10, but when I was there it was a great time of my life. xxx
