The barn has been gone from the farm for about 20 years or so. It came down in some straight line winds.
I have been thinking about putting up a new one. Don't need space for machinery as I have a 40x60 metal shed and a 40x50 machine shed.

It isn't like I have all the time in the world but I have lots of family that will help. We aren't Amish but being Mennonite means we are willing to try anything and are too tight to pay anyone else to do it!
