How old is that barn?? The interior makes me wonder if the joints in the heavy frame construction weren't pegged?? I've never seen "ventilation" like is in the end...that is really unique.

Thanks for sharing.

Rick

ps: What part of PA??
 
I love seeing the pictures posted from you guys out in PA. The barn is awesome, not many barns left like that were I'm from. Thanks for posting
 
Southeast pa. Lancaster County. Barn is from 1858. Guy went bankrupt from building the barn, so he didnt have money to build the house. The house was built later and is just an old wood frame house, nothing fancy. The contractor that built the barn, built an identical barn down the road. The barn is still standing, but the farm is all houses now. Yes, and the joints are pegged together. Its pretty solid, but I wouldnt have the courage to stand up at the top to hang tobacco.
 
Nice pictures. Looks lot like my part of the country.

One question, what make of bale feeder is that? I'm always looking for bale feeders that save alot of hay.

Not uncommon in this part of the country during that time period. There are quite a few quotes and observations recorded from both confederate and union officers and soldiers about the Germans in this area spending much more money on their barns than their houses. Not sure what that says about the culture...

Have a barn in the neighborhood that has stone ends. Frame interior/center was standing pretty erect 9 years ago when we moved here, but has pretty much collapsed since then. Ends look like they could last another 100 years. Hate to see them go, but they don"t fit most modern farming practices.

It is a bale boss by steinway equipment. They are made in OH, but have a location in western pa also. Mine is a 12 foot, so I can easily get 2 bales in the cage. The sheetmetal is cor-ten steel, so it doesnt rust out. I bought the feeder 2 or 3 years old, and I have had it for 7 years. Super heavy duty.I paid $1100 for it used, and I think they were like $1800 seven years ago. They work well for feeding GOOD hay. If you are feeding junk hay you will spend a lot of time cleaning out the feeder. They say there is a new design that has a bale cage that hinges open for easier cleaning, but I havent seen it, and its not on their website.
 
haha, thanks. I grew up here, and its a hard farm to farm. Hills,trees, wet spots etc etc.I didnt take pictures of the neighbors who throw trash over the fence or ride 4 wheeler through the alfalfa...sometimes its a dream,sometimes its a nightmare.
 
Very scenic area. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state from what I've seen on here. Nice farm. That's a very tall wall for bricks.
