Reprogramming a Tobacco Barn to Hay Storage and Self-Feeding: An Eden Shale Case Study
Reprogramming a Tobacco Barn to Hay Storage and Self-Feeding: An Eden Shale Case Study
Abstract
Many farms contain buildings that were productive long ago but contribute little to the farming operation today. A good example is a tobacco barn on a farm that no longer grows the crop. However, the application of land use planning concepts allows these barns to be repurposed or reprogrammed to significantly contribute to the farming operation. Once repurposed, these old barns can reduce labor, waste, time, and money while improving efficiency and profits.
