For those who chose not to click on the url that Bob offered, know
that the article is less about barns and more about the changing Iowa
farm demographics.

At seven thousand dollars per acre, it ain't homestead land up there.

Just read an article on the rising cost of soy in Indonesia http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h2yvMSxeRuyg-tm6MsKhgkQxqkqwD931O5NG0 and the problems that is creating.
Part of the problem is the farming going on in the USA on that $7k/acre farm land... lot's more to it than that but that is a good tie in for the article <g>.
