There’s no way I could have owned something that long without looking through it. It would have drove me crazy wondering and I’m lazy.you have a beautiful property.
LOL! I hear you, but this place also had a nice, much newer barn that could house machinery and equipment, so I just never took the time to search through all the nooks and crannies of this old relic. But we have the time, now, and look forward to discovering some hidden treasures--hopefully. Thanks for watching.
Its amazing y'all can grow anything down in the Zarks. I've built and helped build many miles of new fence on our Northwest Missouri farm and I never saw anything like what you've got. Typically, we have two feet of black soil, another foot or two of transition layer with much less organic matter, but still farmable and from 150 to 200 feet of yellow and yellow grey clay. Then layers of gravels, shale and finally, the bedrock. The glaciers left quite a lot of material when they melted back. There is a thin layer of oil bearing shale about 180 to 200 feet down in places. We always buried our corners and second posts seven feet deep and line posts maybe three to four feet deep. When I retired from farming I kept my tamping sticks and my jobbers with ten foot long handles.
@@steveningrahm8928 I’ve heard of paradises such as that! All my roommates, back in college were north Missouri boys and would laugh and laugh when I would tell them how we made corners with piles of rock encased in woven wire! Count your blessings.
Does that Creek ever Run Dry? LOL I used to Wire Tie Portable Panels to Anchor Posts with.....Wire Shirt Hangers from The Cleaners , since I always had plenty after getting my Western and Business Casual Clothes all Starched and Pressed!😅

@@craigrudd6093 Yes sir! I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of treasures we might uncover.
This is beautiful! You should turn it into a wedding venue!!!
LOL! You need to keep that thought to yourself and not mention it to my wife!
Good luck with that old barn!! As always, thanks for taking us along.

It hasn't in the twenty-some years that I've owned that place.
I have heard that living in the Ozarks is owning a piece of the rock. We had areas that we would have had to blast out to put in a fence post.
@@rmiller8000 Been there!
Wooooooooooooow nice
I bet the stories that old barn could tell would be amazing. I am not trying to slight our visits with you
