Virginians Tour Lancaster Amish Farms In 75 Cars
A Virginia party of 300 farmers toured Hershey and Lancaster farms in 75 automobiles. They studied Amish methods at George Beiler and D L Stoltzfus farms, noting lime use, manure mulching, and five year rotations. Stoltzfus and Phillips described grass yields and dairy operations, drawing sharp comparisons with Lancaster’s smaller, tobacco focused farms.
