Agricultural Construction

The agricultural landscape is demanding and ever-changing, meaning durability and efficiency are non-negotiable. At Rice Companies, we specialize in agricultural construction that’s built for performance, longevity, and hard work. With decades of experience supporting agribusiness across the Midwest—from Minnesota and the Dakotas to Iowa—we deliver agricultural building solutions that meet the specific needs of farmers, producers, and agricultural equipment manufacturers.

As trusted agriculture building contractors, we don’t just build structures—we build systems that help our clients succeed in a highly competitive, ever-evolving industry. Whether you’re upgrading existing infrastructure or planning a new operation, our approach prioritizes functionality, structural integrity, and long-term value.

MEET OUR AGENTS

Agribusiness & Heavy Equipment

Modern agribusiness operations run on precision, power, and efficiency. Your buildings need to support the heavy machinery and high-volume workflows that drive success on today’s farms. That’s why Rice Companies delivers more than walls and roofs—we design and build facilities that work as hard as you do.

Our team understands the complexities of agriculture-specific construction, from ventilation needs in livestock buildings to layout optimization for grain storage or equipment repair bays. We work closely with each client to understand how your operation functions, what challenges you face, and how you see your business developing in the future—and then we build around it.

Our capabilities include:

  • Equipment storage facilities for combines, sprayers, and tractors
  • High-clearance machine sheds with custom access solutions
  • Grain handling and bulk material storage systems
  • Feed mills and fertilizer containment buildings
  • Livestock barns, dairy parlors, and poultry housing
  • Wash bays, vehicle maintenance shops, and parts warehouses

We proudly partner with Butler Manufacturing to offer customizable pre-engineered metal building systems that stand the test of time. Butler’s reputation for quality aligns with our commitment to delivering low-maintenance, high-performance structures that reduce operational downtime.

Our Projects Across the Midwest

Rice Companies operates with a strong regional footprint, with offices strategically located across Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Our local roots allow us to stay closely connected to our clients and quickly mobilize teams for on-site consultations, construction phases, and follow-up service.

When working with agricultural clients, we bring an unmatched understanding of Midwestern weather conditions, soil profiles, and regulatory landscapes. From sub-zero winters in North Dakota to design in southern Minnesota, we account for environmental factors that affect your buildings’ performance over time.

Outstanding and Trustworthy Agricultural Construction

Rice Companies has built a reputation for honesty, dependability, and superior craftsmanship. Our clients choose us not only for our technical skills but also for our commitment to doing the job right—the first time. From budgeting to building, we make your goals our priority.

What sets Rice Companies apart:

  • Design-Build Expertise: Our integrated services reduce delays, cut costs, and simplify communication.

  • Industry Partnerships: Our collaboration with industry leaders, such as Butler Manufacturing, provides clients with access to the most advanced metal building systems in the country.
