They did a study of the Amish farmers in the southern Michigan

Never trust anything called a "study," particularly if it's by someone
called "they." Study" is the current word for a propaganda piece dressed up
to in academic clothes.
The study I referred to was written a ways back, I think in the
"Draft Horse Journal" or some other trade publication at the time.
I tried to find it online but was unable to. I did find this,
though, and many other articles and articles like it.

Academic? There's plenty of valid literature out there regarding
small agribusiness (the family farm) and how worthwhile it would be
to pursue maintaining and increasing small farms. Do a Google
search....
