Livestock Infrastructure and Engineering Support
This resource document is intended to support farmers implementing infrastructure and engineering projects that may require technical assistance. Some projects can be planned, designed, and completed by experienced tradespeople, such as plumbers. Other projects may require engineering expertise, or a farmer may choose to consult an engineer even when not strictly required.
When selecting an engineer for your project, ask about their experience with similar work. For example, an engineering firm may be skilled at designing parking lots with proper drainage but may have limited experience with the specific drainage needs of a composting pad or dairy barn. Be sure they understand the requirements of your project.
