David FreiheitSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Where is the rest of the 75% of the Amish in America? New York, do I say Utah?
Tracy ThurmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So New York, the next biggest population is Holmes County, Ohio.
Tracy ThurmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
After that, it's probably Elkhart-LaGrange County in Indiana.
Tracy ThurmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The basic rule is, look, if you made a graph of where the best farmland is in the United States and then overlaid that with the Amish populations, you'd find a pretty close match.
Shannon CarterGUEST
But what we weren't doing is we weren't measuring that impact.
Shannon CarterGUEST
So I'm not taking w- you know, what happened in Medina County or Holmes County since they s-share b- com-- And I'm not looking at those communities and seeing where their trends lines are benchmarking with my own.
Shannon CarterGUEST
And I think that does an injustice to small DMOs and CVBs.
Shannon CarterGUEST
We know everybody-
Mike RexGUEST
That kind of gives them an idea.
Mike RexGUEST
I also, getting back to DMUs, that's something that has been talked about a lot in Ohio that I personally would like to see us get even farther into the weeds because, like, for example, some of our counties, I'll just use, for example, Holmes County, which is in northeast Ohio.
Mike RexGUEST
It's mostly rural county, a lot of Amish there.
Mike RexGUEST
But one part of Holmes County is very hilly and forested.
Mike RexGUEST
And the other half of Holmes County is pretty much open agriculture.
Mike RexGUEST
And so you got two totally different demographics there just within one county.
Mike RexGUEST
And I've heard some people say, well, that makes it too complicated and this and that.
Vicki KahnGUEST
God is so gracious, even for little kids that throw temper tantrums and throw a fit, because He knew that our community needed a Love, Inc.
Vicki KahnGUEST
We started one in Holmes County, Ohio, which is where I was the executive director.
Vicki KahnGUEST
I worked with a founding board and an ongoing board of directors through our Love, Inc. affiliate there.
Vicki KahnGUEST
Then, this position came up, where it was a developing new affiliates position on Love, Inc.
AndreaAUDIENCE
I enjoy listening to you.
AndreaAUDIENCE
So I told your screener that, uh, my husband is a defense attorney here in, in Holmes County, Ohio, and, um, he has flock camera cases that, you know, involve flock cameras.
AndreaAUDIENCE
And the major thing that he said was, "How, how do you think that the company's making their money? How, how would you say that the flock camera company's making their money?" And the que- and the answer is to that is by selling your da- your data.
Buck SextonHOST
Is that really-

Ryan MulveyHOST
Yeah, so they go Bluntstown, obviously, this Friday.
Ryan MulveyHOST
Then they go Sneeds, Jay, Rocky Bayou Christian, Holmes County, Rutherford, North Bay Haven, and then they end with Destin.
Jim BurantGUEST
Yeah, that's a little bit more doable than the beginning.
Ryan MulveyHOST
Yeah, the first three games certainly.
MattGUEST
But even that's getting harder and harder because all your parts are either going away or they're doubled in price.
MattGUEST
So, you know, Amy Acton gave a good, I think she was in Holmes County and she was at the fair and place was just filled up with farmers from all over the place.
MattGUEST
She's got a lot of support.
MattGUEST
So, you know, we're going to see what happens here soon, but there was that big collage that had all those farmers saying how hurt they are.

Peter SantenelloGUEST
I ended up making a video Going around that community, all sorts of people talking to me.
Peter SantenelloGUEST
And then that led to a whole series in Holmes County, Ohio.
Peter SantenelloGUEST
And why I think that series works so well is because, at least from what I saw, the Amish were always being talked about.
Peter SantenelloGUEST
Or it was like some reality TV, hey, this guy's a party animal, left the Amish story.
