the farm

 

TYPES OF FARM BUILDINGS

constructed from cheap, locally made materials which are abandoned soon

after the farmer has finished using them. Some of the materials used for

making them include palm or banana leaf, thatch, asbestos, polyethylene

etc

meant to last for a long time. Materials such as cement, stones, gravels,
