Why do they think the barn was built?

Do they know how a farm works?

Are they going to build the farmer a new barn when they repurpose their old barn?

Farming is a complicated, difficult industry that requires extremely resourceful thinking, diversification, preparation and a little bit of storage to make it work.

The offensive part of this post isn't the ignorance of basic housing standards, it's that OP sees a barn in good condition and assumes it's an idle resource.


Yeah. Keep driving, and don't stop at the farm stand, butcher, co-op or country store.

Ya'll have food at home.

Drive through my town and you’ll see plenty of barns in good order that are no longer in use. When I was a kid on my family farm there were 15+ dairy farms in my area. Now we are down to one dairy farm, 2 beef operations and another dairy farm that uses all their product to make cheese in just the span of 30 years.

that's what I was talking about, barns that are not in use.
