These barns are on one of three farms that initiated the first commercial production of soybeans in the US just after WW I. The three farms, all in close proximity to each other, were owned by three brothers of the Fouts family. The Smithsonian Institute will be honoring the significance of this ‘first in agriculture’ next year.
The Barn at Heritge Farm
