An Amish man operates a press cutting large sections of leather inside Brodhead Collar Shop, where horse collars are made by hand near Drakesville in southeast Iowa's Davis County. The Amish live life without modern-day conveniences such as electricity, and most businesses conduct their work with hand tools by window light. Davis County is among only a handful of rural Iowa counties in the 2010 Census to gain population (2.4 percent). Much of that population growth is due to a steadily growing Amish population.
