Oregon’s Longview Ranch’s New Hay Barn from Repurposed Lumber

August 29, 2021 at 22:54 PM EDT

Longview Ranch, located along Central Oregon’s historic Route 19 in Kimberly, maintains 30,000 stunning acres of diverse landscape.

This summer, Oregon’s Longview Ranch will build an 84' x 84' hay barn. This will be the perfect place to store the great hay the ranch harvests each year. A unique aspect of this hay barn is that 80 percent of the wood used in the barn will be from trees harvested from the ranch and milled at a small local log mill.

With the high prices of lumber, Longview Ranch can instead build this barn out of milled lumber for 1/3 of current commercial costs and enjoy the local trees being used in the structures.
