In the case of cultivating the same amount of farmland, compared with the mill，the benefits provided by the barn are not obvious.

I tend to agree only insofar as granaries are overpriced. Why pay so much extra for the 10%?

I saw this on bilibili yesterday. It seems that a 10% bonus is really fair given that its cost can be pay back in less than 3 minutes(assuming its radius cover 10 farms which is common enough). This payback time is actually shorter than most of the regular economic techs, not to mention that it will be moved to Song Dynasty in the following patches. Don’t be too varacious 
I totally agree with you. The effect of granary is not obvious, and it is difficult to build it in the Song Dynasty at the cost of 250 wood
Can you link where you saw 3 min payback? Thats not my understanding at all but open to being wrong
I cauculated from the pic uploaded by the post. More than 450 bonus is given by 55 farms so 11 farms will yield a 90 bonus per minute. Considering that this test is run under full tech, I think a 250-wood granary being paid back in 3 or 4 minutes in any age is safe to say.
