[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1843745, member: 32659"] I read so many articles saying that a hay barn was the #1 investment you could make on a Farm/Ranch that we built one even though we couldn't really afford it at the time. We decided to add lean toos on two sides for equipment storage while we were building it. I think we built it 7 yrs ago and I'd say it paid for itself in 5 yrs. I can store about 300 rolls and there are 120' of 20' lean toos for storage. We paid $43,000 and was quoted $80,000 to build another like it 2 yrs ago. One of the things I didn't think about before we built it was having a barn full of $40 hay when a drought strikes and hay goes to $80-$100 a roll. That has happened twice since we built it. [/QUOTE]
