Reading and thinking about the challenges of growing apples
organically,
it occured to me that the Amish are not likely to have adopted modern
chemical-farming practices in their orchards. But I can't find
anything
online about Amish orchard techniques. Is there any published
examination of Amish agriculture extant? Any wisdom to share?
Many or most Amish and Mennonites do use "modern chemical-farming". The
Amish just don't use tractors to power the sprayers. I do know a few
Mennonites interested in organic.
