A new For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listing in Arkansas over at my #1 Son’s SurvivalRealty.com web site shows the utility of using large rectangular hay bales to enhance the ballistic protection of a house:  Country Fort. If the bales are kept tarped, they can simply be changed once a year and the old hay fed to your livestock.  So if you already own a tractor and have a yearly budget to barn-store hay, then this ballistic protection method will cost you just a little more–only for the expense of the extra tarps.  The positioning of the bales could be explained as a “wind break”, in many parts of the country–particularly out on the plains.  Note that large rectangular bales can weigh between 400 and 1,700 pounds, so you will definitely need a tractor that is configured for hay bale handling.
