Why Farms Need Agricultural Concrete Experts (Not Just Any Concrete Contractor)

Concrete is the backbone of your agricultural operation, supporting everything from feed storage to manure management.

While many contractors can pour concrete, working with someone who specializes in agricultural concrete services, like Pipping Concrete, makes all the difference.

Farms Have Unique Needs That Other Industries Don’t

The agricultural industry is a unique one. Concrete on your farm doesn’t face the same challenges as, say, sidewalks or office buildings. It has to stand up to substantial abuse from a variety of factors, such as:

Heavy equipment traffic from your tractors, loaders, and skid steers.
Chemicals from manure, fertilizers, and cleaners.
Moisture from irrigation, weather, and animal waste.

At Pipping Concrete, we understand that life on the farm means long days and hard work. That’s why our concrete waste storage systems, anaerobic digesters, and feed storage needs perform flawlessly, saving farmers time, money, and stress.

We know that success depends on getting it right from the start: the proper concrete mix, the right reinforcement, and a build that ensures your investment will last for decades.

Precision Engineering Matters

Building a feed bunker or manure pit is about more than concrete pouring. Your structure has to handle enormous loads, resist cracking, and manage runoff.

With a general concrete crew, you may get a structure that seems okay but fails after a few seasons or is misaligned with critical environmental regulations. From engineering to construction, an agricultural specialist can walk you through the process with confidence and expertise.

Long-Term Durability Saves You Money

While it may seem like a more affordable option upfront, cheaper or smaller concrete solutions often mean repairs, replacements, and headaches later on. Pipping Concrete thinks long-term, helping you reach your goals in the most efficient and cost effective way possible.

Instead of cutting corners, these experts provide lasting solutions like:

Higher-strength mixes that resist damage from acids and freeze-thaw cycles.
Protective coatings or sealants that offer extra protection in waste storage areas.
Reinforcing areas where equipment will be turning, scraping, and loading daily.

That durability and long-term thinking translate to lower maintenance costs, fewer repairs and maintenance issues, and less downtime and disruption on your farm.

Compliance & Safety Are Built In

Environmental regulations for manure storage and anaerobic digesters are strict—and getting stricter seemingly by the day. You need a concrete contractor who knows the ins and outs and can help you navigate the complexities or meet specific standards.

Agricultural concrete experts know the latest requirements and build accordingly, helping you avoid fines, inspections, and environmental risks from the get-go.
