Any barn lover is a friend of mine. My wife and I are founding BOD members 
of Friends of Ohio Barns and I'm on the BOD of the National Barn Alliance.

On the good news front, yesterday the Senate passed the farm bill with the 
Historic Barn
Preservation Act intact!

I feel the same way as you about barn demo cowboys, but I have been lucky 
enough to save quite a few barns by relocating them before the barn salvage 
cowboys got them or they became bulldozer fodder.
