I just purchased a farm in central Alabama that has a 40x80 metal barn on it. Dirt floor. Solid construction. Looking to try to turn it into a money making part of the overall farm. Hay storage is already covered in another shed along with a covered working chute and catch facility. Not really a good area of the farm to host anything like sales or anything like that due to the parking situation around it. Also not really a retail type area. Considered using it to raise and sell pullets or possibly a confinement area to raise goats or sheep. There are potentially two acres of ditch and slope attached that could be fenced with a little bit of brush grazing. What would you use it for to make money? No pics of it yet because we haven't closed on the property yet.
What would you do?

Personally I wouldn't worry about making money with the barn. I raise goats outside I have thought of a pig barn but that's a waste to me when I can do it outside. I personally find metal buildings are more valuable being used for farm assets than a money maker. I personally if I wanted to make money would open up a metal fab shop or welding repair shop if it were me.
