"Stop feeding treats - you're spoiling your horse!" Inspiration thanks to The Pet Behaviourist - Vanessa Ward

1-30-2021 Yesterday I got a call that the Amish farmers were going to cut ice this morning at 7:00 AM in Hazleton, Iowa. I could hardly sleep, I was excited to ...see this process again on a different Amish farm. Going this morning was bad with the drifting snow. When I got to Hazleton the sun peeked through for about 4 or 5 minutes and it was gone. The Amish guy that ran the saw started cutting the blocks lengthwise of the pond and then went crossways. They leave the bottom 1 inch, to cut with a hand saw and then each block is 10-12 square. Then they are floated to an elevator and up the hill to be loaded onto the wagon and transported to the ice house where the ice will last for a year. The ice houses have 13 of insulation all the way around on the inside. They store food in the ice house and they also use it to make ice cream. The last time I was able to photograph this event was 2018. See more
