All this work and still they live in poverty and filth. Very similar to Appalachia.

Most people don't know what this is called, It's called a hard day's work, much respect.

I am 77 years old and grew up on a farm in central PA. In the 1950-60's we farmed with two tractors and my grandpa used one tractor and a team of horses.  When we "filled silo" we did almost exactly what the Amish are doing on this video.  The only difference is our binder had a deck on it that collected the corn bundles and the operator pulled a cord to off load the bundles.  You off loaded at the same places going around the field so when you later came around with a wagon, you could be picking up bundles from piles.  Neighboring farmers helped each other and it was great times!   Everyone gathered in the dining room for a huge sit-down home cooked lunch at noon.

these are some of the most interesting and relaxing videos on youtube, with just enough commentary to explain but you let the beauty of it all to speak for itself.

One thing about the Amish is they use enough horses to get the job done relatively easy. The non Amish always use only 2 horse on everything and they play out too much.

Thanks- brought back a lot of memories.  My dad owned one of these binders and I drove the tractor to pull it when I was a teenager.  During my last year in high school, my brother and I bought our dad a welder for Christmas.  One of the first repairs I made with that welder was to "build up" a worn chain sprocket on our corn binder.  I can still remember the look on my dad's face when I handed him the rebuilt sprocket; he had never seen it done before.

Thank you. I absolutely love the older equipment and to see it still being used is a real treat.

Brings back memories, mostly good..although I wasn't Amish we didn't have much so most of the farm work was done by hand or what would be considered today as obsolete.  I sure didn't have problems sleeping at the end of the day for sure...

The horses are very intelligent  throughout the job at the farm

We just visited Lancaster County and got to see some of this in person, but from a distance.  I've never seen the whole process. It amazes me that the Amish  are still doing things the old way. I love it! Can't wait to share this with my dad. We go to the Amish country every year from NC. It is so beautiful!

That was awesome. When I grew up I helped my grandfathers haul hay with a team of mules. I was young and ambitious to be like my grandfather. Love every minute of it. Dang we were tough. Loved that life. Wish my 3 boys could have experienced what hard work was, really.

When I was young, I had the stamina to work the Amish life, but not the appreciation. Now I'm old I have the appreciation, but not the stamina. What a shame.

Much respect, I bet them men are in great shape!!

I couldn't even imagine, they still have to chop it and put it in a silo or pit. We used to do silaege for the whole winter in 2 or 3 days

I've never seen anything like this before. It was very interesting to see all the work that goes into this process on a farm. Thank you for sharing this.😊

Wow- been watching midwestern combines harvesting!! In comparison-- This Amish harvest is a ton of work!!! As a very young kid I lived in Gap, PA and my Uncle had a church in Paradise- don't remember a lot, but I remember the Amish and the Gap clock.

Have a blessed week everyone amen.

i wish a lot more kids would help, like this kid is doing. I find videos about the old times very refreshing.

I would like to see more of the videos of other crops like potato crops sugar beets and other crops that they process and this is something that a lot of people should watch and see where our food really and with these Farmers go through to give us what to put on our plates

Amazing folks ! True hard working  folks that were left behind in time.  they put to shame  Americans  who can't tie their  own shoes without  a cell phone  showing them how.  God Bless those people.
