The Midwest Plans
Service, at Iowa State University, is a publishing cooperative
dedicated to disseminating practical and affordable agricultural
publications that support the missions of twelve mid-west land-grant
universities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Their web site makes
available 8 1/2" x 11" conceptual plans for practical
barns, storage buildings and farm structures. The plans 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. They are not construction plans and do not
replace the need for competent design assistance in developing safe,
legal, and well-functioning buildings.
Buildings must
resist various forces from snow, wind, and use. They also must
adhere to local building and zoning codes. A local building
inspector, engineer, building supplier, or building contractor
can help you determine what is a safe and legal facility for
your area.
