Study Hall Member Clement Gelly Reported On an Amish Horse Technology Festival in Lancaster, PA
For Ambrook Research, Clement Gelly wrote about the first new horse-drawn combine harvester built in 70 years. Gelly says, “built by an Amish farmer, the machine could be key to sustaining the Amish way of life for future generations.”
For the piece, Gelly went to the Horse Progress Days 2024, an event in Lancaster County Pennsylvania that’s “dedicated primarily to demonstrating horse-drawn technology.”
Gelly writes, “From a distance, what appears to be an exercise in paradox and anachronism is in fact a petri dish for how an oppositional society survives in a changing world, especially in practical, economic terms.”
Gelly’s writing has appeared in Hazlitt, The Point, and Desert Companion.
