Zone 2 (Machinary Storage) : Fig: Service Yard

The document discusses the layout and zoning of farm buildings and grounds. It recommends dividing the farmstead into four zones - with zone 1 for living areas, zone 2 for machinery storage, zone 3 for small animal units and storage, and zone 4 for large animal units. Factors like noise, odor, drainage, access and traffic flow should be considered when arranging zones and buildings. Wind breaks and building orientation can help protect from winter winds. Underground lines for water, power and sewage should be installed efficiently.

MOVING THE HOUSE FURTHER SOUTH AND THE
LIVESTOCK AREA NE IS DESIRABLE .
AN ALTERNATE DRIVE LOCATION MAKES A GOOD LAYOUT
LOCATION WITHIN THE FARMSTEAD AREA IS ALSO
DETERMINED BY MANY OTHER FACTORS, SUCH AS
DRAINAGE, ELECTRIC AND WATER
LINES, SEWAGE SYSTEM, AND TOPOGRAPHY
.

BUILDINGS ARRANGED TO BE REACHED BY TRUCK.


THE SERVICE YARD AND DRIVES SHOULD ALLOW
PLENTY OF ROOM FOR TRAFFIC.
BUILDINGS TO BE PLANNED SO THAT THERE ARE LARGE
DOORS WITH PLENTY OF HEAD ROOM AND NO
INTERIOR POSTS.

ZONE 3 (SMALL ANIMAL UNITS/ STORAGE)


CAUSE DUST, NOISE, TRAFFIC AND ODOR, AND

HOG HOUSE, PASTURES, SHOP, AND GARDEN IS PRACTICAL
IN MOST SITUATIONS
