Item Description
This Ebay listing is for the sale of a CD ROM publication:
Farm Buildings
This publication is filled with over 252 pages with plans, illustrations and descriptions on how to build barns, sheds and houses for farmers!
Once upon a time our ancestors in the farming, ranching / agricultural business actually believed in self sufficiency and did very well for themselves with this idea. Because many, if not most, raised their own seed crops rather than buying seed, recycled manure for fertilizer rather than purchasing from the chemical companies, and in general, "grew their own" in most of their needs for the farm to keep their stability, and indeed, growth curves moving them forward.
Whether or not you intend self-sufficiency, this book is full of healthy and rational designs, suggestions, and analyses that can help you put up robust farm buildings, ventilate them correctly, make clean and healthy environments, preserve their value and longevity, create them so that they are flexible for mixed use and evolving markets, and in general, make well considered and well designed farm buildings.
Well thought out designs for most of the common farming buildings from barns to chicken coops / scratches are presented with alternates. and intelligent rationales for each.
If you are thinking of building or remodeling any farm buildings, whether you are a "gentleman farmer" or own a working farm whose economics and yield you want to improve, this book is a winner.
You can read the detailed contents further down this page.

Ben Joseph review:
The suggestions for healthy ventillation in my barn got me to thinking of the losses I have had in my dairy herd over the last 3 decades. Upon making the suggested changes, I have yet to have a single sick cow from cross contamination in the air. Working in the barn has become pleasant for me as well, sweet fresh air at just the right places. Why didn't I do this 30 years ago when I built the barn. I just didn't know.
Becky Randle review:
We no longer have an active farm, having sold off most of our land for development over the last decade, but the suggestions helped us make a barn conversion that was affordable, and we now successfully run an art print and lithography business in the barn that once was impossible to keep clean. Sweet air, clean walls, nice floors, did the cows really have it so good? Anyhow, we love it.
