My dog is a black lab named Trooper. I hike in Colorado mountains near Pueblo. I live near Denver where I work. I like Garth Brooks when I rock climb. I like to lay in the shade. I used to do farm work. I have herded cattle with dogs and four wheelers.
I harvested the fields for winter. I grow corn and soybeans at my parents farm. I have a pet cow. I like country music. I am Amish. I live in Lancaster County. I was born into an Amish community. I speak English and Pennsylvania Dutch.
I saw a group of combines out harvesting a field near my house. What methods do you guys use to harvest your crops? We do it completely by hand. Absolutely no machinery other than hand tools! Yeah does it take you a lot longer doing it that way? I've never known another way, but I'd guess that it's more time consuming than typical commercial farming. Yeah I would of thought so it must be a lot faster these days with all the heavy machinery around. My community will have none of it. We're very proud of the way that we do things! It's nice to see a communtiy sticking to their roots,I think modern technology is destroying the old ways these days. We're definitely in the minority. Are you part of a faith community of any sort? No i'm but I would love to be in a close knit community the world feels so distant these days.
