Looking for the best configuration for your agricultural barn? Building a new barn can be intense. Whether you’re a rookie or a veteran in the livestock grower world, we’ll make the process as intuitive as possible.

Ready to get started on your agricultural barn build?

Layer Barns

You’ll enjoy the efficiency of a layer barn build that doesn’t require you to tend to the details. We’ve been designing and outfitting layer barns for years, using equipment from big brands like Big Dutchman® and Munters® for turnkey, durable systems that produce efficiently.

Feed

Big Dutchman® Champion® Chain Feeding

Water

Ziggity Systems®
Val-Co® Watering Systems
Big Dutchman® Lubing Lines

Ventilation

Grain Bins

Nest Systems

Egg Processing Equipment

The egg collection starts with our Big Dutchman® Colony2+ Nest, where the eggs roll onto a belt that brings them into the processing room.

In the processing room, we install your choice of egg-processing equipment. The Prinzen 70 Egg Packer (25,220 eggs per hour) and the Moba Farm Packer Diamond FPX100 (up to 36,000 eggs per hour) are both high-quality Dutch-made machines that we distribute and install.

Indiana is in the top 3 states for egg production, based on a report by the USDA. That means you’re in a competitive space. Let’s find you the layer barn configuration that gets you and your integrator smiling from ear to ear.

Broiler Barns

When it comes to raising broilers, so much hinges on the systems within a broiler barn to keep everything in balance. In turn, system success goes back to the expert installation and knowledgeable maintenance of your broiler barn.

With our 25+ years of experience in agricultural barn builds and outfits, we know what you’re up against and what it takes to get your broiler operation off the ground.

Poultry Equipment

Chicks are very vulnerable. Our turnkey systems help make it easy for you to care for each aspect of your broilers’ well-being–from manure handling to ventilation and from medication to watering.

Enjoy poultry equipment that works as hard as you do from revered brands like L.B. White®, Dosatron®, Stenner®, and Big Dutchman®.

We install Big Dutchman®’s patented Unigrow360™ feeding system that is specially designed for broiler growth and farmer ease. Here are some of the benefits:

Cuts time needed to adjust feed levels
Easily accessed by day-old chicks
Produces larger birds in a shorter time
Enhances feed conversion rates by slashing feed waste

Our poultry equipment spans:

Grain Storage
Feed and Watering Systems
Manure-Handling Systems
Ventilation
Heating
Carcass Disposal

Duck Barns

Are you interested in joining the duck industry? The demand for duck meat is growing in the US, and Indiana is the top duck-producing state. The two biggest duck operations, Maple Leaf Farm and Culver Duck Farms, contract 285 farmers–most of whom are from Amish communities.

As part of the Amish community ourselves, we understand what it takes to design a duck barn that fits your lifestyle. While raising ducks brings unique challenges, you can conquer them with proper preparation. Good nutrition is one of the biggest keys.

Hog Feeders

We offer top-of-the-line Thorp dry hog feeders and Thorp dry/wet hog feeders in custom sizes up to 84” long. No sharp edges. Solid dividers help prevent feed loss. The Thorp wet/dry feeder offers the fastest rate of gain in the market today. In most of our barns, we install the Thorp vacuum valve and watercup system.

A hog barn needs to be designed to stand up to the brawn of dozens of hogs in one space. That’s why you need experts on your side who have outfitted hundreds of swine barns over two decades plus. We’ll walk you through the process to the hog barn that checks your boxes exquisitely.
