When the grid goes down, the Amish will not notice. That is not a figure of speech. These communities have spent three centuries building agricultural systems that function entirely without electricity, without fuel deliveries, without internet-connected equipment, and without the supply chains that modern farms depend on to stay operational.

Most preppers spend serious time thinking about rice, beans, and canned goods. Milk powder rarely gets the same attention, and that is a mistake.
