Amish Farming Is Something ALL Farmers Can Still Learn From Today!

Welcome back to Down On The Farm. Today on this channel, we will be talking about how the Amish farm and what can we learn from them? There are many things we can learn from the Amish. One is their simple way of living as well as the kind of community they have.

When it comes to farming, the Amish is quite known for it. The Amish people are very strict on their religious values. As much as possible, they do not want to use technology. Instead of using tractors, they often preferred using horses when they wanted to plant and plow the fields. Watch this video to know more about how the Amish farm and what can we learn from them?

With the way things are going, seems farming will go back to he old ways. Great respect.

You said how does Amish soil compare to traditional soil, I think it should be is how does traditional Amish soil compare to modern agriculture soil... We so need to go back to this type of farming, nice vid thanks :)

[sunnyruth]

Yes very useful. People need to pull together

I'm suprised this doesn't have more views. You did a good job on this video with the exception of the music. The music is out of place. Bluegrass would have been for fitting.

As an African I wish I could learn the Amish way of doing things especially farming.

[linniecolt]

This just show me that I'm not crazy. I can do this

According to current political science and industry, this mode of agriculture should not exist and should be impossible. We learn and expect that technology is the solution to hunger, disease and pollution.

Most of this common practice in farming the world around, not just amish farms.

This is all very romantic and fascinating but if Amish farming techniques were used universally, we might all starve to death. We live among some of the most productive farmers on the planet with a sizable Amish community nearby. The difference in what their fields yield is astounding!

Farming has become industrial I live in Kansas trying to buy a small farm and all the land is rural suburbs. That's basically residential not agricultural. People you need to understand you can't eat without a farmer so help us keep land farms and not houses. Edwards county Missouri has land for sale the already got it map out... Go look

[HermitagePrepper]

Some of those machines look pretty sophisticated. I wonder if they make them themselves or buy parts and assemble

[denisesills]

Let’s go back to. A better time of. true American Simple times !!!

Never been happy with the treatment of their animals. Draft horses can be worked way too hard and then sent to slaughter. Need to have enough horses to rotate. They also operate puppy mills which is deplorable. I know I'll get criticism, but my opinion, and I believe caring for animals humanely and with compassion is the right way to go.

I'm interested in transplanting apples in June?

[danladianagi]

How can I contact or visit an Amish community or organization to learn more about their farming techniques firsthand practically?

[aldodemarchi]

The earth Amish plough is clean, their food is free pesticides, what else?

[frankwurth]

Not a very accurate view of the working Amish farmers. Most rely on large family's to get work done. they also hire custom operators for spraying and other chores they aren't allowed by church to do. They do use fertilizers and they also rely on jobs off farm to cover living costs, just like everyone else. They don't buy any insurance, instead rely on the Amish community church members to cover each other. Not sure how much income taxes they are subject to, but they don't pay into Social Security. As for horses, the rest of the farmers in the world won't ever revert to using them for anything but recreation. The general public will starve if that ever becomes the only way to farm. The Amish would not make it if they had to adhere to the laws the rest of have to obey. The church covers them and the church also gives them exemption from many taxes and laws.

Where is this farm? I'd like to hear about their religion, too, a little. And what work do the women and children do?

A lot of "restatements" in this video.
It could have been much better if it was shorter and only discussed the real points.
No mention of their stock needs for farming, or the equipment they use, in deeper details.
Is it worth it?
I saw a rescue horse from an Amish farmer (stated as such) and it was in terrible shape. I would have called it abused. What is the cause of this? Why would people we consider godly and kind treat their horse this way? I wondered how many horses they require to operate a 40-acre farm, which is the size you suggested for this level of farming.
