These building and facility plans were developed over many years by engineers at Land Grant universities. They provide conceptual information that is excellent for planning purposes. The plans were prepared through the USDA Cooperative Farm Buildings Plan Exchange.
This site makes available conceptual plans that can be helpful in developing building layouts and selecting equipment for various agricultural applications. These are older plans that do not necessarily represent the most current technology or the most recent construction theories or codes. They are not construction plans and do not replace the need for competent design assistance in developing safe, legal, and well-functioning agricultural building systems. Colorado State University, the Mid-West Plan Service, the United States Department of Agriculture, and none of the cooperating Land-Grant Universities warranty these plans.
