How Much Money Does It Cost To Build A Hog Barn?

[@jamespetty9545]

I love videos where people talk real numbers. 👍

[@thislldofarm]

Glad you enjoyed buddy! Appreciate the support brother

[@grayfarms3465]

Please keep making the hog barn videos, it seems like nobody on KZbin makes good videos about them. I work in 4,000 head units in southern indiana. Love watching these videos

[@jamesbushman801]

Awesome video, guys. For someone like me who's dream it is to start a farm, and could only do rough guessing when it came to pricing everything out. This summary of actual costs was extremely enlightening and helpful. Thanks again. You keep uploading content and I'll keep watching it.

[@thislldofarm]

Glad you liked it James! Thanks for the continued support! 🙏🏻

[@rosseldridge6395]

I had commented asking for a numbers video a while back and you said they were coming. I appreciate you breaking things down and look forward to more.

It must be very satisfying to see for the first time entering pigs in the new barn! I love your videos guys! Congratulations from Spain! Keep it going!

[@pnwRC.]

WOWZERS! That's a chunk of change just to get started!

[@thislldofarm]

Yes sir but they cash flow nicely so it works out in the long term! 👍🏻

[@peterchapman753]

Very interesting and very easy to understand Did you mention the cost of the Plans and getting them passed by your local council? so glad you are going to do the next bit. Well done Peter UK 🇬🇧

[@neilramseyer5348]

Good explanation. I quoted a new replacment gilt barn. For 300 head. Wean to 300#. It was 200k just for building. Glad I built our sow farm before now prices

[@thislldofarm]

Ya it’s crazy times right now! Lumber and steel have gone up tremendously 😬

[@shawnagain9418]

That was an awesome video. You could also add that you're going to need at least a forklift or a bobcat a tractor a manure spreader. Equipment. Also did you add in anyting on silos grain feeders things of that nature for the feed storage? I am learning as well and very interested. Thanks for taking the time

[@thislldofarm]

Thanks Shawn! You don’t necessarily need a skid loader but it helps. Also we have our manure spreading contracted out. So we don’t own any of the manure spreading equipment. The feed bins were apart of the hog barn equipment cost. Forgot to mention that sorry. Thanks for watching appreciate the support man! 🙏🏻

Excellent, excellent vid. Thx for the post. Now, when you get married, this may be tomorrow or ten years from tomorrow, BE SURE to get a 'before marriage understanding', aka prenup. Reason: As a r.e. ag lender for more than 25 years it has boggled my mind the number of times I've written (or re-written) a loan(s) to pay for a divorce property settlement. Hopefully a marriage lasts for all of a persons days; I firmly believe this. HOWEVER, if it does not, don't cry any crocodile tears when the ton of bricks come falling from the sky when it comes to dividing up hard, slow earned equity. Mark my words.

[@chucksmith155]

You are absolutely right Stallen I got married 5yrs ago just over 4yrs I find she was unfaithful we filed divorce and she was able to take almost half of my business that she wanted nothing to do with that I built up for 20yrs learned the hard way

In Iowa after October 1st where i live electric goes from $250 to $1250 because of the ground could be frozen. My water cost in Warren county to have it installed was $3300 and this was just a house. All construction costs are always more unless it is bid and agreed upon....

[@ryanwaege7251]

May the Great Google Algorithm bring more eyes to you guys! You've got pork, persistance, production value and (most importantly) personality in spades! Starting with Millennial Farmer, YT led me to 10th Generation Farmer and just recently The Algorithm put me on to you guys and Sonne Farms. Father-Son farming channels are my favorite. As a cow guy, very interesting to see how the hog business works!

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Thanks for the great video guys!!!!! Full of interesting information! I appreciate your sharing these private numbers with us. Of course the financing is of interest too (no pun intended) such as current rates, terms of loans (15 years for a commercial mortgage?) and loan to value ratios. But all that is very private too. So I mention it, but don't expect you to reveal something if you are not comfortable with it. I think it;s a great move, Sawyer, and your Dad being established in the filed I'm sure helps with your financing/growing contracts. Once again, much obliged to you for thinking of us and sharing!

[@thislldofarm]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the continued support! I think we’re gonna keep that information private. Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻

How long after the first hogs hit the barn is it before the initial start up costs are recouped?

Nice video. I am considering doing something similar in a SE Asian country in the near future. My question is what is the total number of pigs that barn can accommodate? One good thing is I don't have to worry about having any heaters. Lol Thank you for your reply.

[@drewistheone1]

What do you think about a manure bladder? Process the manure to generate you own gas and electricity. It is expensive but the dry manure would be easier to spread.

Hello, can you make a video dedicated to hog barn waste management, related timings, related costs, effect of bad waste management and related animal health issues and how you cope with such animal health issues if any due to waste

[@Quadrillion01]

Good thing you're not building a hog barn near where I live. After you said $8-14k per acre was expensive where you live, I looked at local land listings near me. Prices for just 0.23-0.4 ranged from $44-89k. I'm moving out your way when I retire :-)

I didnt hear anything about the lagoon cost or manure hauling. How much land does it take to spread all that manure? Im guessing 500 to 1000 acres. Well done video, easy to understand

[@giuliom8520]

Great video! I'd love to do what you do, but I don't live in Iowa.😔 Based on my research, its pretty difficult to get a contract in Northern NV, and I don't have the guts to attempt something like this without a contract. $17,000 for well and pump? In NV, it's more like $200,000. $2,500 for all that in an office seems like that seems like a steal!

[@thislldofarm]

Wow man! Ya it’s not the easiest to get into without living in the Midwest or North Carolina. It’s a great business if you do it right. We’re gonna break down how much hog farmers make in an upcoming video 👍🏻

[@computernerdtechman]

I don't know if I missed it or not, but did you include the price for feed silo's, tractors, field wagons, skid stear/forklift?

[@thislldofarm]

The feed bins were added to the hog barn equipment cost. Sorry I forgot to mention that. Also those items aren’t necessary for running a hog barn. They do help but not always necessary. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

[@Swampwild1]

You guys that are considering this had better listen up. There are going to be huge changes in this industry in the next 10 years and I wouldn’t touch it. I’m a retired business banker and I’ve studied everything about this issue. (Obviously I’m watching this and talking to you) I can just list the main topics. Animal rights legislation, water use taxes, slurry application rates slashed, H2S in ambient air rules coming up, new methane emissions taxes, labour shortages and regulations. This is a 40 year investment. You don’t want the stress or the risk, plus having everyone hate you. But good news is that there are better designs that are not slurry manure. Dry bedding and straw based designs change you from being a community menace to a local hero. Don’t let big meat companies ruin your life leaving you with all the risks.

[@Swampwild1]

Understand that the high phosphorus content of hog manure, double cattle will be a big problem. If you have to move the stuff far away it’s expensive! Because the new soil science is showing that with intercropping and mixed crops slurry hurts yields. Farmers won’t want it so you’ll have to pay for drying equipment to transport it economically. This is all coming now not 30 years. Like climate change.

This tutorial is for commercial hog farms, not the average family or hobby farm with a handful of hogs which a metal barn would more than suffice for housing the hogs, Concrete floor and straw will work just fine. (No fancy system needed). You do not have to be wealthy to start a farm. Don't be intimidated by the hogwash in this video. You Tube has many farm tours you can see of small, cost-efficient pig farms. You don't have to be wealthy to start a farm and other farmers will be glad to help point the way and lend a hand. That's how real farming is done.

[@watomb]

Well just worry the hog industry will turn out like the chicken industry where the farmers make hardly anything when you factor in time. Great video didn’t seem that expensive. A new green chopper cost over 800k
