Working with the Amish

I had a conversation with USDA officials today about the USDA GAP program. Look for coverage in The Packer. Got some clarification on the GAP audit and whether or not Amish agricultural practices - specifically the use of draft horses - are a deal breaker. Meanwhile, one New York observer said the Amish/Mennonite continuum of technology used in agriculture is not extremely clear. For example, some Amish may use a tractor, others may not. Here is a resource I found on the Web concerning "working with the Amish."
