Assuming that what is said is true, I am inspired by the spirit of the Amish people. I am not Amish. I came upon this article by my curiosity of an escrow-free mortgage. What I get from this article is an illustration of the independent, self-sustaining nature of a people who look to each other for support rather than relying on external sources to prop up their livelihood. This is admirable, and is - in my opinion - how it should be throughout our society. I would not subscribe to this religion personally, but much can be learned from their way of life and their views on personal responsibility, and to their dedication to family and friends. Thank you for shedding a bit of light on an obscure and little-known culture within our great nation. God bless. -An average Englishman. What an enlightening article!

We have unions that demand more and more and the non union people help pay for their added benefits, this is not exceptable. The Englishman farmer that has a perishable product can't make a demand when the product is ready for harvest for better pay so through out of country many have had to sell their land to the larger operators.(ours) sad for our small towns and the Nation. Thanks to the illegal Immigrants to do the harvesting with cheap labor, so we have plenty of food. All that has been said is probably true, only
