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.

Then how about buying a barn? Sara McConnell It should be so easy. Buy up an old barn, convert it to a house and you've done your bit saving a historic building from falling to pieces, creating a wonderful original home for yourself in the process. 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. Still keen to turn that barn into the home of your dreams? Follow the tips below.

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.

(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.

Barn Owl 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. 1. Selection Criteria UK BAP Species of Conservation Concern. SBAP Species 2. Key Habitat

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. These buildings are all located in the downtown section of Flemington which is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and are located within a locally designed historic district. Other County owned buildings are located in Raritan Township and on various parkland throughout the County. Latest Webpage Update Provided by Nichole McCall, Assistant Planner

Overall employment is projected to decline because of increasing productivity and consolidation of farms. Aquaculture and horticulture should provide better employment opportunities. Developments in value-added marketing and organic farming are making small-scale farming economically viable again. 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.
