If you are concerned about rot, you could pour a series of footers with threaded rods sticking 8 3/4 inches above the top. Make sure that each footer is level with the rest. You can then bolt a sill plate (an 8x8 pressure treated if that's what the rest of the barn will be framed with) across the bottom and build from there up. That way none of the wood is sumerged in the concrete or dirt. You can use a barrier under the sill.
