Let's face it honestly. Sometimes seventeenth-century farming practices can be dirty. That's pretty much the case with this manure spreader. For Amish farmers you see, fertilizer comes out of the barns in these horse-drawn wagons, and there is nothing about the operation that is - well - not messy. It is certainly picturesque to see a team of horses working the fields, but it is also old fashioned. Still, Amish people will argue, are the modern chemical fertilizers really that much better? Or that much safer?Labels: Amish, Amish Country, Amish Culture, Amish Photographs, Amish-Country Mysteries, Holmes County, P. L. Gaus, P.L. Gaus
