The best thing for those who are concerned to do is to load up a bus or two and take a trip up to the Forest River Hutterite Colony, just west of Inkster, ND.. These people could not be better neighbors. They are different from the Amish in that they live communally instead of spread apart in separate homes. And they are always ready to help out the community in times of need such as disasters. The recent fire at the Forest River Elevator quickly brought out the Hutterites heavy equipment to clean up the debris. The Forest River Colony specializes in cleanups of this nature but the manufacturing plant proposed by the Spruce Lane Colony should fit right in with the farming operations in that area. You really could not ask for a better situation.
