Barns of North Dakota
The barn has been an important part of agriculture and farm life for decades. Farmers threshed grain on barn floors, stored hay in the lofts for feeding livestock, and sheltered animals in the stalls. Many types of barns can be found all over North Dakota. The culture of early immigrants dictated the style and shape of these barns. In addition, these immigrants were dependent upon the materials available to them and the climate found in North Dakota.
