The barn has 3 ft overhangs all around, which provide
protection from rain, snow and summer sun;
the front entry is recessed and well-protected from
the elements. Just inside the main entry, the office is

desks, i.e. an owner and a trainer. Across the
entry aisle, the grain room bins will keep all of the
grain and supplements organized, with space left for

appearance that’s needed to blend
with existing buildings, the house, or
whatever architectural look is pre-
ferred by the owner. But the floor
plan is always the key to everything
