farming with no quams

[Guest guest]

I heard a quote recently perhaps even on this conference that 50% of amish

families have a second means of living apart from farming.

 

There is a statement that 'if you keep doing what you are doing you will

keep getting what you are getting'. For us I would read that as saying if we

keep doing our farms in same way as we always have then we will keep getting

the same result. ie. a farming system that doesn't sustain anybody.

 

We must be looking for a new 21st century model to keep the next generation

or even more important than that even keep the present generation on the

farm. There must be a living from farming that gives good butter on the

bread or only the cari's are going to do it and not the hastha's.
