Very interesting!
I like to see produce grown and sold locally!
What's with those damned steel tractor tires? Last time I saw any of those, it was in Mexico on a tractor they used for shredding brush, and didn't want to deal with flats... Rough riding.
Barry, there are two different groups of local Mennonites. One group uses only horses, the big Belgiums, to farm with, while the other group use tractors.............which must be steel wheel. Even their combines are on steel, as well. Their theory, supposedly, is that if a tractor is on steel wheels, they won't be tempted to use it for anything other than actual farming activities............which is BS, as they always figure out a way to get arounfd that.
We also have in my area, Amish, some of which are very modern, and use modern equipment (on rubber tires), then there are the Old Order Amsih, that use only horses. They are all sorts of those kinds of people.
