I went to the same living history demonstration several years ago and it was great! I saw old hay making equipment in use that I had only seen setting idle in fields and barns. The Swiss Pioneers have a great club and membership.
Great to see somebody using the scythe. In our neck of the woods(or fields) I seem to be the only one still mowing a lot with it. And the gentleman even shows how to peen it. All the gentlemen are using an Austrian style scythe. I have four of them and love them. But the horse-drawn mower surely made it easier to mow larger areas.
very nice video like me much, I like much love much Amish people have a life style like me much. thanks for video, have a good happy life all Amish people. with love.
Its amazing at all the technology that has changed in farming but the knotters on that old baler are the same as what is used today. Atleast for the most part.
I also really like it in this video that women are represented. They have always played a big role in agriculture and still do. And how nice it was when everybody worked together, not the lonely enterprise it is today with one person on the tractor doing it all, the mowing, the raking, the baling, the hauling.

I believe the baler to be one of first w/ automatic knotters ,thus a great improvement to haymaking. Prior to that were hand tye.

This is how things were done back when work was hard and people were honest!
I am not American but I am curious. Do Amish people vote in US elections?
@@katisme5137, some do and the numbers are increasing especially among the Lancaster County PA Amish.

Each video surpasses the previous one. Great job Thanks!
The standing baler was very inefficient and would of burnt more fuel than modern balers.😢
