- Come along and watch as the AMISH of Paradise in Lancaster County fill silo with corn to make silage. Teams of Belgian draft horses and draft mules pull the chopper and wagons as the silo is filled with food for the winter.
I am sure things are winding down for harvesting! Thanks to the Amish family for welcoming you to videograph them and their horses.
Hard working horses for sure and it will feel good to have silage for the cattle all filled up ready for the winter! And the hay barn full as well. I am sure things are winding down for harvesting! Thanks to the Amish family for welcoming you to videograph them and their horses. I was surprised how one gentleman take on the GoPro on his hat to show us how his horse will start off the row to be cut.
Excellent video showing the hard working Amish family.
Love this video! Thanks to you and the farmer for the excellent close ups!
All that work to open a field, you could almost just leave a gap when planting be easier. I have an old mare almost 30 and she is fully retired I guess. She just can't keep up with the younger ones at real work. I've helped change heads on NH harvesters before...we did it a little smoother than that lol. Anyhow, nice to see boys working, reminds me of when I was that age on the dairy farm.
Thanks for watching. Land is at a premium here and most everywhere. Not much of a farm is left unused. Changing the head was a hoot. We couldn’t find the chain usually used.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO thanks gentlemen ❤❤😊😊
I enjoyed watching the video that is a good idea the machine for open the corn Thanks From Ireland
J'adore leur façon de travailler
I really enjoy videos of Amish harvesting. I do think the Spout on the Chopper could be extended a few inches, to cut down on waste. Trying to manage a Team of horses and control the Spout, would be challenging to say the least.
Thanks for sharing.
That neat for an amish in PA. Never been lancaster PA
Rather unique contraption to cut the first rows of corn with an obviously very experienced ,older horse. And think about how well-trained and with excellent disposition the horses have to be that walk right underneath the corn chopper.
Thank you sir for maken such a informative video I had no ideal this is how it was done. im going to subscribe and like .. this is one of best videos on youtube
Thanks for the sub!
This is a way of life, respect it!!
Where I lived in Kentucky, the Bishop for the Amish in that part of Kentucky would allow the farmers to use more modern equipment - even tractors - but would not allow them to put tires on the equipment. It all depends on what the Bishop will allow and will not allow.// My point being, it looks as though their Bishop is fairly tolerant and modern. Good for him.
@@dr.michaelr.foreman2170 , you weren’t in the Hopkinsville area were you?
@@LancoAmish No. I lived in Fairdealing. Not to far west of there. I worked at a resort as the groundskeeper. I was also the Executive Director of the Mission in Paducah and was known as the bicycling Missionary.
The emulgents you mentioned spraying on silage before it enters the silos .
Is that like a syrup base or molasses just curious .
And its obviously applied for a reason what does it do .
Thanks for a great video
I hope I spelled it right !!!
Beautiful work animals,doing what they love to do ,what a wonderful sight .
God Bless
Don’t worry about my question I found the answer .
I’m sorry I asked I should have did my homework .
The fermentation process is quite a story in itself .
To a person that dosent know these things it isn’t really thought of .
Thanks so much for watching. I’m so thankful that you spent your valuable time watching and commenting. It means the world to me.
Do you suffer from hay fever going through all that corn? I know some people's eyes would have closed over from swelling!
I didn't think the Amish used power equipment.
At least one of those have to be on a volunteer fire department?
@@712_mel , one is!
Well they don't have any flat tires on those wagons!!!!!
Do the Amish ever use new equipment?
Yes, the mini sickle bar mower is new. Most of their equipment is refurbished older equipment. Thanks for watching!
Why did they fill the silo with horses??????????????
@@CarlosAlberto-ii1li That’s how SPAM is made! 🤣🤣. Thanks for asking!!!
So you have a tractor on the blower, skid loader to pull wagons into blower but use horses to pull chopper and wagon? This makes absolutely no sense.
That guy needs some practice driving horses so that he doesn’t miss any corn that would’ve not worked on our farm. We picked up every year that we missed with the horses that’s interesting. Is they use tractors but not for everything and some of them have steel wheels, and some of them have rubber
The kids were both 13 and just learning. Thanks for watching.
I'll be plum ashamed if I was your y'all😂😂😂😂😂
Explain further. Don’t just snipe and run.
so the Amish will not ask for help from the locale farmers with power equipment to help with harvesting
Is the corn GMO free? Do they spray poison on the corn?
gas power corn husk pick up really
What a joke. This reminds me of a song "life is hard but life is hardest when your dumb"
You have something against hard work and preserving a way of life that enables family and community to work and stay together?
She has some of the old horses that was going for Slaughter and she bought them
Why abuse animals ( God’s creatures) when there are machines that can do those jobs quicker, better and more efficiently ?
@@mrdenson3101 , where do you see animals being abused? Working an animal isn’t abuse just as a human doing manual labor isn’t abuse. Do you hold animals in a higher regard than manual laborers?
@@LancoAmish no sir, I am not against your work. Quite the opposite. You rode on a motorised device and used modern technology. This makes me believe that you are not against using technology tools to do your work. Most work is manual and I would have no issues with you if you use horses because you can’t afford more advanced farming tools. But burdening God’s creatures to unnecessary labor as a political statement against the world just doesn’t sit well with me. God gave us the world to look after it and not to abuse it
Mr Henderson radical people like you don't understand there way of life and don't understand how real farming is there beliefs and ways of life are that of hundreds of years ago I'm proud to see the old ways of farming is still around
@mrdenson3101 you are an idiot
Looks like that horse has seen his last working days
Horse pulling power equipment.stupid.
Family owned dairy farms that are still economically viable while tens of thousands of others have been shuttered over the past half century. Perhaps it’s not as stupid as you think.
@@randyturnquist1254 , they don’t pay what taxes? They pay everything anyone else does except Social Security taxes…which they do not draw from. In fact they pay double the school taxes everywhere they live…their own and the public schools. For someone that “knows it all” you don’t know much. Why have the Amish been able to continue their small family dairies at a much higher rate than non-Amish? Perhaps they’re onto something using a combination of horses and powered equipment ehhhh?
The same horses that y'all get rid after they got things wrong with them
You don't take care of them horses worth a s***😂😂😂😂😂
Perhaps you shouldn’t be imbibing so early in the day. Geez, you ramble on and on!!
@@LancoAmishhe’s right! They treat their animals like shit!!,
I know these people and what they are capable of.
The men are vile human beings. They treat their women like shit. They are only for cooking, cleaning and breeding. If the men want sex, they turn to smaller barnyard animals or other men in their group.
You don't need to work them four horses to death there's a woman in Amarillo Texas that gives them a retirement home
These people don’t I’ve a fk about the animals. They are just tools for them to use and abuse. When they get sick they just throw them aside and let them die slow and painful death then dig a big hole and dump them out back. They don’t care about their animals, women or their own children. The men are the only ones that have any say. The women are treated as insignificant. Only for cooking, cleaning and breeding.
If they want sex they turn to smaller animals or other men in their group.
Ive lived close to these people for decades and seen some stuff that would turn your stomach.
