[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1253161, member: 17767"] Toad, There are many large Mennonite and Amish communities in this area. I buy my outdoor clothes there. And yes, they are Yoder brand name clothes. Most of the Amish communities here are Yoder. That is fact. My son’s fiancé is from Indianapolis and her father is a medical specialist in genetic maladies affecting the Amish people of Indiana. He is employed in private practice and has a state contract to administer to the genetic diseases resulting from a closed genetic pool. I have a Mennonite friend (term used loosely) who delivers materials. He has indicated to me, he plans to follow your path and leave the community and go out on his own. I had my D3G Cat dozer and he ask me if he could start it. Before I could answer, he started it. Said the most rewarding thing he had ever done was operate a dozer. I told him I have a very similar feeling about it. He said there was a dozer at one of the communities and he had operated it. I think Mennonites are permitted to use motor vehicles and equipment unlike the Amish but I think the Amish cheat on that limitation as I have seen a few communities with Skid steers. I have nothing against either group. They perform a lot of services here: Construction particularly pole barns, welding, retail metals, retail clothes, furniture, etc. I am going to look at some mineral feeders this week that are built and sold by the Amish near Mayslick, KY. The biggest complaint I have heard is about the Amish being a hazard on the highway. My friend Adrian Craig does not like the Amish. The only thing he comes up with is that they will trespass on his land to hunt deer but they will not let him hunt on their land. Seems a little trite to me but you would have to know Adrian. Ryan: I have heard some real life stories about injecting new genes into their communities but I am sure to be banned if I tell them. Maybe Toad will share some inside info. [/QUOTE]
