Wish there was enough monies in the state coffers to restore old barns like this, most just need a roof replacement. These old barns are a work of art,a symbol of the hard working people that lived in an era when you farmed to sustain your family’s life before government and greed took over. “A barn can build a house but a house can’t build a barn”.

I swear he would be a multimillionaire now if he had just sorted the stuff and parted it out. today there is someone out there looking for everything old and metal. I have seen dozens of old tractors being scraped for pennies when if they were advertised or even put in the scrap meet or auction have would have tripled his money..
