This is a book of photographs of Silos, Barns, and other farm related buildings, equipment, and activities in McHenry County, Illinois. I am creating it as an education tool for the many new residents to McHenry County who do not fully comprehend how important farming and related activities were to the growth and economy of McHenry County. It includes Silos, Barns, Other Buildings, Cows and how they are related to these buildings, Farm Equiipment, and views of McHenry County farm land. It shows the condition of both Silos and Barns from beautifully maintained and/or converted into practically new conditon, all the way to completely deteriorated Barns, collapsed at the foot of the adjacent Silo. It shows how food for cows, both hay and silage, is produced, stored, and then used to feed them. It shows both very old farm equipment to the most modern, expensive equipment. It shows how some Barns have been repurposed for use on golf courses, offices, landscape business, storage, and even one home. It shows farm animals.
