By SASHA ASLANIANMinnesota Public Radio News

ELKO NEW MARKET —When Scott Tempel and his wife Kara bought their 13-acre farm in Scott County a year and a half ago, it came with a storybook dairy barn that had faded red boards, a steep metal roof and an old brick silo.

�ere was only one problem: It was falling apart.

“�e homeowner when we did the �rst walk-through was like, ‘Well, the barn’s free!’” Tempel recalled. “You didn’t really want to go in there. We’ve got kids and visitors and w he n you’re worried about people falling t h rou g h t h e floor, it’s not a good situation.”

Old wooden barns are disap-pearing from M i n n e s o t a’s l a n d s c a p e . They can be expensive to maintain, and not suited to the needs of modern farming. Some topple over in a storm. Others are torn down or burned.

As he contemplated what to do with his barn, Tempel contacted Friends of Minnesota Barns, a nonpro�t organization that is a resource for people who want to preserve, repurpose or relocate historic barns. He learned that �x-ing the old barn could have cost more than $32,000.

As Tempel and his wife keep horses, they didn’t need a tall dairy barn with a milking parlor.

So he has decided to recycle it.“We can save these timbers,”

Tempel said. “You’re not doing the air pollution, you’re saving the landfill and you’re also cre-

ating a new product that can be re-used.”

Better Futures Minnesota, which helps men who have been incarcerated learn new job skills and rebuild their lives, was hap-py to reclaim Tempel’s barn.

“We’re going to take this wood — this 100-year-old wood that is probably you, know old growth, from 300-year-old trees — and give it new life,” said Tim Roman, a consultant for the group. He said most of the weathered boards will become furniture, flooring or construc-tion materials.

“We want to target something like a 90 per-cent recovery rate,” Roman said. “But when you’re talking about 100-year-old barn wood that’s seen a 100 Minnesota winters, it’s a challenge to get every last stick.”

The four-man crew try-ing to salvage every last stick

of wood from the barn is new to the work, said Jimmy Wren, a se-nior crew chief who is teaching the men construction skills.

“Every day I see a big progress in them, you know? So it’s huge when it comes to getting released from prison,” Wren said. “It’s hard to �nd jobs so we’re teach-ing them skills that they can take somewhere else one day, hope-fully.”

�e two men who are sawing the recovered boards into usable lengths and pulling old nails in-cludes 35-year old Ronald Crisp of St. Paul, who has been with the program since October.

Crisp, who was jailed 21 months on a domestic abuse charge, said the program offered him a way to build a work his-tory. He likes the work because at the end of the day is able to see his progress, his work is still there and people can enjoy it.

“What it takes is determina-tion, and 100 percent tired of negativity,” he said. “And when you’re tired with that, and you’re dissatisfied with yourself, you will change, and that’s what hap-pened with me.”

Crisp said he grew tired of his life on the streets and wanted to set a better example for his children.

That’s also the motivation for his crew mate, 25-year-old Doy Johns of north Minneapolis.

“I was gone for 34 months, three years for possession of a firearm. Just want to do some-thing different. I got six kids, that’s all young, under the age of six,” Johns said. “So I just wanted to do something differ-ent and show them a different

positive role model because I’ve been missing for three years out of their life.”

The men are paid $12 an hour, and have health care, housing, and a life coach. Better Futures Minnesota works with trade unions to help the men graduate to better paying jobs.

Next month, Friends of Min-nesota Barns is hosting a tour to showcase some of the best preservation and re-use ideas for Minnesota’s historic barns.

Matt Gregg, a master carpen-ter for Better Futures said in its day, Tempel’s barn was probably the “Cadillac of dairy barns” with boards 12 to 16 feet long.

“I’ve seen a lot of barns,” Gregg said. “This one was very well put together. A lot of pride went into it.”

As he looked at how the barn has been stripped down to its studs, Tempel said that for ones like it that can’t be saved, he hopes at least the timber will go to someone who needs it.

As the crew tried to come up with a strategy, to turn the barn on its side to pick its carcass

clean, Tempel reflected on the community that built it — and how the nearly century-old barn is now giving rise to a different kind of community building.

“In its dying gasp, this barn can really provide a lot of future for people in various ways,” he said.
