Photos From Ohio's Amish Country: Spring-54

Here is a young Amish woman with her team of Belgians.  She had been plowing the field in the near foreground when I saw her.  I watched her work steadily back and forth for quite a while, and I wondered how someone so young was able to keep balance and steer the team.  But she kept to a remarkably straight line, and she seemed to be making easy work of it all.  Amish people think nothing of it.  Of course everyone learns to plow a field.  It's as fundamental as driving a car.
