BARN IN THE FIELD
Une grange est un bâtiment agricole utilisé pour le stockage et permettant le travail dans un lieu couvert. Ayant un toit en tôle, tuile ou ardoise, ses principales ouvertures sont des portes à un ou deux panneaux. Il est parfois utilisé pour abriter les animaux ou stocker des véhicules et autres équipements agricoles. Les granges sont construits généralement loin des fermes pour éviter la propagation d'incendie. Dans les anciennes granges, la partie supérieure était utilisée pour stocker le foin et parfois le blé. Le foin était placé sur une plate-forme, hissée vers le haut, par l'intermédiaire d'un système de poulies, accrochées dans un recoin du hangar.
A barn is an agricultural building usually located on farms and used for various purposes. In the North American area, a barn refers to structures that house livestock, including cattle and horses, as well as equipment and fodder, and often grain. As a result, the term barn is often qualified e.g. tobacco barn, dairy barn, sheep barn, potato barn. In the British Isles, the term barn is restricted mainly to storage structures for unthreshed cereals and fodder, the terms byre or shippon being applied to cow shelters, whereas horses are kept in buildings known as stables. On the Continent, however, barns were often part of integrated structures known as byre-dwellings (or housebarns in US literature). In addition, barns may be used for equipment storage, as a covered workplace, and for activities such as threshing.
