Detailed Farm Plans

The following plans are copies of agricultural designs that may be used to gain historical perspective, generate ideas or give a starting point to more current building designs. These plans may be outdated and do not necessarily represent the most current technology, construction codes or agricultural practices. 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. As such, the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service does not warranty these plans. Any questions contact your county Extension office or Biological and Agricultural Engineering at 501-671-2237.
