Top 7 Jobs Every Farm Should Tackle in the Off-Season
Written on .
Winter might slow the pace on the farm, but it’s the perfect time to tackle the structural jobs that get pushed aside during peak season. Here are the top concrete projects worth doing now – before spring pressure hits:
Yard Resurfacing Repairing worn or broken concrete improves drainage, prevents slips, and makes stock movement safer and easier.
Machinery & Equipment Pads Protect your tractors and heavy kit from uneven ground. A solid pad reduces wear on tyres and makes maintenance safer.
New Shed & Livestock Housing Floors Fresh, durable concrete flooring improves hygiene, reduces bedding costs, and creates a long-lasting base for cattle or sheep sheds.
Silage Base Repairs or Rebuilds Cracked or uneven silage pits can lead to runoff and waste. The off-season is the best time to repair them properly.
Slurry Store & Tank Improvements Reinforcing or rebuilding slurry pits during quieter months ensures everything is ready and compliant for the new year.
Feed & Grain Store Floors A smooth, sealed concrete base helps protect feed from moisture and pests while making clean-up easier.
Drainage Improvements & Yard Levelling Proper grading and drainage save you from winter flooding and keep the farm moving even in bad weather.
The off-season is the best time to get ahead of next year’s workload. If you’re planning any concrete jobs on your farm, we’re here to help with reliable, weather-ready concrete and pumping services.
