Probably depends on the part of the country. Tons of "newer" barns out here
have lofts. The guy who lives in the little valley about halfway up our road has a relatively new barn and it has a loft. The guy across from "Wrong Turn" has a newer barn and it has a loft. None of the houses on this road were here prior to the 70s when the origiinal owner of several sections sub-divided the land, so that explains all the "new" barns on our road.

I don't recall any block & tackle but we did have
"elevators" with a chain systom for pulling the bales
up. One guy dropped the bale at the bottem and
another pulled in into the loft when it got to the
top.
I don't remember any barns built with a hayloft after
1960.
