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 - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
