Had a request to rent my barn, for hay storage. Explained my machines have priority and are stored in it so No, gentleman somehow was under impression I was eliminating my machinery so I corrected that. Contacted my insurer just as a whim who explained NOT to do that regardless, changes status of Farm structure to business even as we rent farm for cattle pasture is different for structures. Being as for hay storage predominantly he also stated unless put it in a commercial policy would not be covered for fire damage should hay erupt. Commercial policy just for barn is four tines what we currently pay for remainder of farm. No financially viable either. Did make some calls, seems he is at a dead end as to getting his own shed built as no one currently available to do that and pricing as well is out of sight even for a later date. |

There have been hundreds of old chicken houses rented or leased for hay storage here. Every one I've known of wound up with broke trusses because "I think one more roll/bale will fit up there". They usually collapse within a few years and the renters usually want money for the hay they lost. Hard to find anybody around here to rent old chicken houses for hay storage anymore. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Yup always. It's funny to me though. It takes a reasonable push to break a truss when it's braced in the ceiling like these are so there's no way they don't know their against it. They just don't care and keep pushing ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |
