Over the last couple years, we bought a couple small places and, on one, built a 10x30 ft leanto type building with a 20x30 foot paddock of grass pavers then leveleled/built up a place and built a roundpen. The other has the same building in 10x20ft w/ a 20x20 paddock. The second one, I had up w/ rafters and, while waiting for the roof metal, was laying and filling the pavers. Coming back with the last load of gravel, I find a guy with a notebook, ruler, and camera checking things out. Turns out, a farmer can build anything he wants and up to 1000 sq ft without permission. I'm not a farmer, so can't build on my own property outside town. So, we've been going thru hoops for the last year to get our horse operation recognized as something more than a hobby. The whole time until I got fed up and put the metal on the second roof, the horses had tarps for roof and walls and looked like sh!t. Now, after dealiong with a guy that made up the rules as we went along, we have someone coming in the morning to look the place over and give his opinion (which will be the decider).
Think everything will go Ok. If so, we'll be there with bells on to collect every dime that other farmers get, every tax break, AND, just for the he!! of it, I'll add on to the existing buildings or build a second on each property and the home place.
Kicker is, if I had a couple of cows or sheep, there would be no issue...

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
