    Extractions: Resource Sciences Educational Partners Help save the American Barn WSU joins Jefferson County Historic Society to inventory local barns and farm structures From the days when Thomas Jefferson envisioned the new republic as a nation dependent on citizen farmers for its stability and its freedom, the family farm has been a vital image in the American consciousness. As the main structures of farms, barns evoke a sense of tradition and security, of closeness to the land and community with the people who built them. Even today the rural barn raising presents a forceful image of community spirit. Just as many farmers built their barns before they built their houses, so too many farm families look to their old barns as links with their past. Old barns, furthermore, are often community landmarks and make the past present. Such buildings embody ethnic traditions and local customs;they reflect changing farming practices and advances in building technology.In the imagination they represent a whole way of life. Unfortunately, historic barns are threatened by many factors. On farmland near cities, barns are often seen only in decay, as land is removed from active agricultural use. In some regions, barns are dismantled for lumber,their beams sold for reuse in living rooms. Barn raisings have given way to barn razings. Further threats to historic barns and other farm structures are posed by changes in farm technology, involving much larger machines and production facilities, and changes in the overall farm economy, includingincreasing farm size and declining rural populations.

    Extractions: But, warns Adrian Parker, chairman of the Royal Town Planning Institute's countryside panel, it's usually not that simple. 'Converting a barn is a blissful dream a lot of people have but it needs a lot of thought. People pay quite a lot for large but tall spaces which end up feeling like a fragment of a big country house. One of your biggest hurdles will be to convince local planners that a barn conversion is a good move, says Parker. Local authorities are under pressure from central government to find new uses for old buildings to keep the rural economy healthy. But many barns are miles from shops, schools and other local amenities, which doesn't make them sustainable.

    Extractions: Temporary (Plastic) Greenhouses Newly Constructed and Reconstructed Agricultural Structures Introduction For newly constructed or reconstructed agricultural structures, New York's Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) (Section 483) allows a 10-year property tax exemption. Application for the exemption must be made within one year after the completion of such construction. The agricultural structures and buildings will be exempt from any increase in the property's assessed value resulting from the improvement. For certain limited-use agricultural structures and temporary greenhouses, the Real Property Tax Law (Sections 483-a and 483-c respectively) provides a permanent exemption. For Historic Barns, Sections 483-b provides a sliding scale exemption. These provisions are discussed later in this pamphlet. Q.

They can be in timber-frame, stone or brick and in many forms and sizes, from single barns to complete farm layouts. Recent amateur conversions have caused the introduction of very restrictive Planning legislation. Nevertheless, it is still possible to devise practical and imaginative conversion schemes on which to negotiate approvals. Apart from legislative constraints, old buildings often have a unique personality which can be adapted to form new character. Care and ingenuity can make use of many existing features and often retain most of the existing openings. Walls and roofs can be lined to give good standards of insulation, and as many modern amenities can he introduced as may he wanted. The cost of conversion is less than building new, and there is the opportunity to create something new yet old. individual and special.

Pataki joined State Senator Nancy Larraine Hoffmann today to visit Pushlar Farm in Cazenovia, where they announced the recipients of the first round of grants under the $2 million New York State Barns Restoration and Preservation Program. The grants will fund 113 barn projects in 48 counties throughout the State, and include a $20,000 grant to the Pushlar Farm to replace the roof on their circa 1920s dairy barn. "Restoring these magnificent, historic structures will help preserve and celebrate an important aspect of New York's heritage," Governor Pataki said. "Having grown up and worked on a farm, I understand the value of our family farms. They represent a vital part of our State's past and our future, reminding us of the key role that rural life has played and continues to play in our communities. "Preserving this priceless legacy for our children is central to New York's ongoing renewal, and will ensure that residents and visitors alike will continue to enjoy these scenic landscapes," the Governor said. "I want to thank Senator Hoffmann, who shares my passion for helping preserve our farms, for her leadership and commitment to this issue."

54. MPR: Barn Again In Minnehaha County
    BARN AGAIN! is a national program to preserve historic farm buildings sponsored by the photo essays and other information about preserving barns.

    Extractions: (MPR Photo/Cara Hetland) At the turn of the 20th century, barns were the farm's cathedral. The red or white structures were designed and personalized for each farm family. The massive barns held livestock and tools with a second floor for hay and the occasional barn dance. Towering wooden barns have given way to sleek metal sheds on many farms and now, barns have become the stuff of historic preservation. IT'S THE HOTTEST HOURS OF MIDDAY on the Schaeffer farm, but the air is cool inside the barn. Built in 1919 with hollow red brick-like tiles, the barn encircles a grain silo. Years ago, it served as a milking parlor. It took three hours for the family to milk more than 100 cows, a chore they repeated twice a day.

It's situated on top of the North Downs in Kent offering miles of views to the south and east from two view points on the farm. The farm today has 33 acres including nine acres of ancient woodland which was graded as Special Nature Conservation Value. The long distance trail, The North Downs Way, runs along the southern boundary of the farm and the Pilgrims Way is just a short distance away. The farm is in a lovely area of countryside with an excellent network of footpaths bridlepaths and byways. The animals on the farm are a small flock of sheep and we specialise in breeding a few Black Welsh Moutain Sheep, not rare but a minority breed. There are also other, bottle reared, friendly sheep. There are also Pygmy Goats who regularly walk 'their bit' of the North Downs Way with us, together with our own and other people's horses and ponies.

    Extractions: Tyto alba (Scopoli) The barn owl is a familiar bird, famed for it rasping screech which accounts for its other name the 'screech owl'. Its heart shaped face and almost totally white appearance when perched or in flight makes it very distinctive. Barn owls require large areas of open rough grassland to hunt for small mammal prey, and quiet farm buildings or tree cavities to nest and roost in. The barn owl has an almost global distribution and has lived in close proximity to humans since settlements and farming created suitable nesting places. Farming practices have enabled the birds to hunt the increasing number of rodents drawn to stored harvest crops. The erection of barns and other farm buildings provided additional nesting sites. This bird used to be a regular sight seen flying over the British countryside, but sadly over the last 60 years barn owl populations have declined dramatically. This is primarily due to losses of both foraging and nesting habitat. 2. Key Habitat

    Extractions: Hunterdon County has a wealth of historic bridges, presumably due to the number of stream crossings, the success of agriculture, and the materials available to construct the bridges. Over several dozen metal truss bridges, mostly from the 19th century, have been determined by the NJ Historic Preservation Office to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, there are over 100 extant stone arch bridges in the County, the largest concentration of stone arch bridges in the entire country - according to a bridge preservation consultant. Many of these stone arch bridges have been deemed either eligible or potentially eligible for the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Public Buildings Flemington has been the County seat since 1790. Still owned and maintained by the County are several important historic structures, including the Hunterdon County Courthouse and Jail, the Choir School, the Southard Building, the Hall of Records, and the Democrat building.

    Extractions: All About My Bill I'm Moving I'm Building Report a Problem ... Safety The National Board of Fire Underwriters reports that lightning is the number one cause of farm fires. Lightning is also responsible for more than 80% of all livestock losses due to accidents and millions of dollars in damage to farm buildings and equipment annually. A system that protects your family, livestock and farm property from lightning strikes prevents or significantly reduces these dangers. Lightning protection systems should be installed only by qualified individuals who have the necessary credentials and equipment. However, a working knowledge of the principles of lightning protection will help you to communicate with these experts and oversee the proper maintenance of your system once installed. A Quick Primer Lightning is an uncontrolled, massive electric spark with tremendous voltage and amperage.

Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top American farmers, ranchers, and agricultural managers direct the activities of one of the world’s largest and most productive agricultural sectors. They produce enough food and fiber to meet the needs of the United States and produce a surplus for export. Farmers and ranchers Responsibilities of farmers and ranchers range from caring for livestock, to operating machinery, to maintaining equipment and facilities. The size of the farm or ranch often determines which of these tasks farmers and ranchers will handle themselves. Operators of small farms usually perform all tasks, physical and administrative. They keep records for management and tax purposes, service machinery, maintain buildings, and grow vegetables and raise animals. Operators of large farms, on the other hand, have employees who help with the physical work that small-farm operators do themselves. Although employment on most farms is limited to the farmer and one or two family workers or hired employees, some large farms have 100 or more full-time and seasonal workers. Some of these employees are in nonfarm occupations, working as truck drivers, sales representatives, bookkeepers, and computer specialists.
