I think I remember hearing about an Elseworld (I think it's called "The Nail") that kind of has that as an underpinning precept. The Kent's truck get's stopped by a nail, preventing them from finding Clark's ship. Instead, an Amish family takes him in. As a result, the JLA does not have Superman as part of their founding members. I'd recommend reading it or at least trying to get ahold of "Another Nail" which has Clark join the world as Superman after being found by Lois.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Sadly, they aren't on our Archives under those titles.

I want a fanfic, preferrably humor, but I can see one where our Perry hears these fantastic rumors about an amazingly strong farm boy and sends a junior reporter(Lois Lane) to go investigate it. GO!! Go write it now! You know who you are! TEEEEEEJ

Go write it now! You know who you are! Yes, I agree. Not all of us have access to the classics.  I'd love to see one of our writers' take on this idea.

Hmmm, how would Clark survive under these conditions?

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

I was not aware of an Amish community in Kansas. I thought that they were pretty well limited to the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area and somewhere in Ohio.

There are Amish and Mennonite communities all over the country. Yoder, Kansas, south of Hutchinson, is the center for all the Amish communities around it.

It's my understanding that as men get their own families, they're given a part of land. As Lancaster, PA, Ohio and even Illinois are rather tight when it comes to the amount of available land (that's relatively inexpensive), groups of Amish and Mennonites purchase swaths of land to the west. It might not be be easy to get around the limitations of travel to do it, but that's where the "English" come in. Oftentimes it's not frowned down to hire an outsider if it has a specific purpose (like moving to another locale) to assist them.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
