Our team at Merritt Mechanical Fabrication has been working with clients in the agricultural industry for over 50 years. We understand the demands of a working farm, and we can help you get the buildings and equipment you need to keep your operation running smoothly.
In this article, we will go over a few key types of agricultural buildings you might need for your farm.
- Crop Storage– Crop storage facilities are crucial agricultural buildings for most farming operations. In fact, you will likely need a few storage buildings to protect your crops while you get them ready for sale. For example, grain is typically stored in large silos, whereas fruits and vegetables can be stored in a more traditional building with shelving.
- Processing– Another key type of agricultural buildings are the structures used for processing crops. Again, the type of building used for this purpose depends on the crop and the steps required to get it ready for sale. For example, corn might need to be shucked and stripped from the cob, whereas wheat may have to be ground into flour. Some fruits and vegetables might need to be ripened with chemical solutions.
- Equipment Storage – These agricultural buildings include garages and sheds for storing farm equipment when not in use. Your equipment is a serious investment and an essential part of your operation, so it’s important to keep it safe and dry whenever you are not using it.
