If you near a major road, and your barn roof has a steep enough angle
with a good view from a major highway, you might spark some interest.
When I tried it, I kept running into county regulations with permits,
fees, restrictions, after awhile I gave up. It turns out that the
large billboard cartels use their political connections and payoffs to
keep out the competition. Maybe your area is different. It seems that
the 1st Amendment only goes so far.-Jitney

Is this being done anymore, advertising products on the tops of
barns?
Since I don't see it anymore, I suppose it isn't being done.
Still,
might be nice to have a little more income, as close to two
airports as I am. Anybody know how to go about this?

I think that LBJ (Lady Bird, not Lynden) has/had more to do with it than
the "cartel."
Most of the anti-billboard rules and regulations (including the
"beautification" of junk yards) came from that era. A lot of good
sites were grandfathered it. "New" general purpose billboards are the
supersized monsters about 1/4 off the highway!

My Daddy was a sign painter.

I remember some giant logos he painted
on top of flat-roofed textile mills that could be seen from high
flying jets.

Presumably you're an adult now, so you should say "My
dad", or "My father". Don't say "My Daddy". Damn.
