Patrick,
from what I 've been told (and not checked into), there are some laws on 
the books that give them certain tax exemptions, including reduced 
property taxes (at least in this neck of the woods) as well as other tax 
breaks, I'm not "hating" but if you've ever done business with the 
Amish, you'll quickly appreciate what I'm saying, like everybody else 
today, they want it cheap and want to sell what they have for big $$$.
