When the dairy industry demanded the farmers switch to refrigerated bulk tanks and pumped trucks, this left the Amish farmers out of luck. Now the Amish sell mostly to the cheese makers who will accept the milk in 20 and 40 quart cans like the old days.
Interesting observation... they can raise a barn in a day or two, they can farm enormous acreages, but they haven't figured out how to innovate a way to refrigerate? Why the hell can't they use the old lng refrigeration? No moving parts! No electricity! No switches! Religions are so weird. Glad I'm not religious.
Aren't LNG refrigerators 50 years old? How would I know? I heard they operate the refrigerant cycle, with a flammable gas... since that makes very little logical sense, why would anything else surprise me?

DeleteDon't LNG systems still use a compressor?

DeleteOh, that's right, the fridge in mt Dad's camper you had to light a burner like a stove, no electric except the bulb.
