One thing I know about the Dutchmen; if they aren't inconsistent, they aren't Amish. :smile:
We are as surrounded with Amish clans as areas in PA (who are far more famous for their Amish contingency), but they aren't the same as the PA kind. They all seem to evolve differently. For them up here, generator electric is OK in their shops, but not in their houses. But not Grid electric. Same with phones (OK in the business). 20 years ago, they weren't allowed anywhere on Amish property; today seems to be a new day.
They also use Wisconsin V4-powered equipment like it's going out of style (well - I guess it did). Old McCormic-deering balers, grain elevators, bale elevators, etc., but they pull the old stuff with a horse. City folks seem to adore them, thinking they're quaint - they are just another hypocritical religious cult. :thumbdown:
