We have wonderful farm neighbors...and most of them are Amish. We get along with them well, and help each other out when needed.
But how often do you see a team of horses working in an English man's field?
There are several Amish men in the neighborhood who own round balers, and who do custom baling. This one, who came to finish up our rye grass and alfalfa hay today, used his mules to pull the baler. Jim operated the wrapper with our tractor. I thought it was fun, seeing them working in the same field together.
No matter that we do things differently...the end result is the same!
Oh I love it!!!!!! How fun that must be for you. We know some Amish too, and my husband has helped them out. End result is the same. Glad you had the help. Baling already! Next month we should be...weather permitting!

There are many Amish north of us here, but I have not seen them bale in the fields. I can't believe you're already cutting hay!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fields there. I loved the rolling country and everything so green when I visited your part of the world. I tried the rhubarb jam and it was a splendid success. We will make MORE! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a positive post. I love the photo of old and new working together.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to have neighbors willing to help each other! I like seeing the two worlds working together. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this Alica -- no matter the method, as long as it gets done. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a touching photo! Love seeing neighbors helping others and to see the diversity is awesome too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I have some Mennonite in my family; and in Washington state, as a feed salesman and nutritionist, I worked closely with 2 Hutterite colonies.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see everyone working together!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool - I haven't seen our Amish with a round baler yet, but it's only a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteNice farm & blog!
