4. Raise the wood off the ground by 6 inches (more is fine). This can be
done very cheaply by making a cinderblock raised area for those metal
frames sold to keep wood, or can just be a long line of cinderblocks you
stack the wood on. In a long term place with a farm, you'll possibly want
to pour a cement bed for this.

Save your money and get some used pallets. One the ends, you do what is
called a chimney stack. Lay two pieces down with space between, Now
crisscross two pieces 90 degrees. Repeat. If your wood is split in half,
put the flat side down, if quartered, lay them as flat as possible. Pick
the best sizes as you go and it becomes very easy to do. Between the stack
just lay the pieces in at random and you will find they self support quite a
bit.
