Description
"Seeding, Old School" - Young amish (?) man running seeder drill with 6 horse team
I was randomly wandering backroads on my motorcycle in the driftless (rolling, un-glaciated) area of SW Wisconsin and stumbled upon this young (presumably Amish) man seeding cover crop (likely Rye) with a team of six draft horses somewhere west of Blanchard. I was impressed with how well this guy could keep the team coordinated, steer, monitor seeder, and a dozen other things simultaneously. No GPS autosteer and "computer/push-button controlled-everything"! Hats off to those that chose a different, simpler lifestyle and have the tenacity to stick to it. I wonder if they're living happier lives than "modern" style farmers?
