Agricultural Steel Structures
Durable Steel Buildings for Farms, Ranches & Agricultural Operations in Kansas
Agricultural buildings need to work just as hard as the people who use them. At Midwest Erecting & Fabrication, we design and build custom agricultural steel structures that are made to handle daily use, heavy equipment, and the demanding conditions that come with farming and ranching in Kansas.
From equipment storage to livestock facilities and multi-use ag buildings, our steel structures are built for strength, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Steel Buildings Designed for Agricultural Use
No two agricultural operations are the same — and your building shouldn’t be either. We design steel structures around how your land, equipment, and operation actually function.
Common agricultural steel buildings include:
➤ Equipment and machinery storage
➤ Barns and multi-purpose ag buildings
➤ Hay, feed, and commodity storage
➤ Livestock shelters and working facilities
➤ Shops and maintenance buildings
➤ Combination ag buildings with shop space
Each structure is customized to fit your operation, with layouts designed for access, workflow, and future growth.
Why Steel Makes Sense for Farms & Ranches
Steel has become the preferred choice for modern agricultural buildings — especially for owners planning to stay on the land long term.
Benefits of steel agricultural buildings include:
- High strength for large clear spans and tall equipment
- Resistance to rot, pests, and fire
- Low maintenance compared to wood structures
- Excellent performance in high winds and harsh weather
- Flexibility to expand or modify as operations change
For Kansas farms and ranches, steel provides reliability you can count on season after season.
Built for Equipment, Animals & Daily Use
Agricultural buildings aren’t just storage — they’re working spaces. We design steel structures to support the realities of daily use, including:
↪ Wide doors and high clearances for modern equipment
↪ Open interiors for easy maneuvering
↪ Durable structural systems built for repeated use
↪ Options for ventilation, insulation, and temperature control
↪ Layouts that support livestock handling and workflow
Our goal is to create buildings that make your operation more efficient, not more complicated.
Custom Design, Fabrication & Planning
Every agricultural project starts with thoughtful planning. We provide professional design and engineering support to ensure your building performs exactly as intended.
Our services include:
➣ Custom layouts and building design
➣ Engineered and stamped structural drawings
➣ Foundation and concrete coordination
➣ Fabrication and certified welding
➣ Optional erection support
This process helps reduce downtime, streamline construction, and deliver a finished structure that’s ready to work.
Built for Kansas Land & Climate
Kansas agriculture demands buildings that can handle wind, weather, and wide-open land. Based in Wichita and Park City, Kansas, Midwest Erecting & Fabrication understands the local conditions that impact agricultural construction.

Agricultural Steel Structures – Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are steel buildings a good choice for agricultural use?
Steel buildings offer superior strength, durability, and low maintenance compared to wood structures. They hold up better against wind, weather, pests, and fire, making them ideal for long-term agricultural use in Kansas.
2. What types of agricultural buildings can be built with steel?
Steel is extremely versatile and works well for equipment storage, barns, hay and feed storage, livestock facilities, maintenance shops, and multi-purpose agricultural buildings designed around your operation.
3. Can agricultural steel buildings be customized for my operation?
Yes. Agricultural steel structures can be fully customized for door sizes, ceiling heights, clear spans, ventilation, and interior layout to accommodate equipment, livestock, or workflow needs.
4. Are steel agricultural buildings suitable for large equipment?
Absolutely. Steel buildings are ideal for modern agricultural equipment because they allow wide clear spans, tall ceilings, and large door openings without interior load-bearing walls.
5. How well do steel buildings hold up to Kansas weather?
Steel buildings perform exceptionally well in Kansas conditions. They are engineered to handle high winds, heavy snow loads, and temperature swings common throughout the region.
6. Do agricultural steel buildings require less maintenance than wood buildings?
Yes. Steel buildings do not rot, warp, or attract termites, which significantly reduces ongoing maintenance and repair costs over the life of the structure.
7. Can agricultural steel buildings be insulated?
Yes. Steel agricultural buildings can be insulated using several methods, including vinyl-backed insulation and spray foam, helping with temperature control and condensation management when needed.
8. Can I expand a steel agricultural building in the future?
One of the biggest advantages of steel is flexibility. Agricultural steel buildings can often be expanded or modified later as your operation grows or changes.
9. Do steel agricultural buildings require engineered plans?
Yes. Engineered plans are recommended and often required. Engineered steel buildings ensure structural integrity, code compliance, and long-term performance — especially for agricultural applications.
10. How do I get started on an agricultural steel building project?
The best place to start is a conversation. Discuss your land, intended use, equipment needs, and future plans so the building can be designed correctly from the beginning.
