📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateOld farm buildings that have done their time turn into liabilities — places kids and livestock get into, fire risks, tax lines, and hazards one good wind from coming down on their own. When a corn crib, hog barn, or machine shed is finished, you want it down, hauled, and the ground put back to work.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles farm building demolition across central Illinois — old corn cribs, hog barns and livestock sheds, machine sheds and implement buildings, pole barns, grain bins, silos, and the leaning outbuildings nobody wants to walk into anymore. This is the umbrella job: one farmstead, one crew, one straight number.
The Komatsu PC150LC handles the heavy work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer get into tight farmsteads and clean up after. Dump trucks haul the lumber, tin, and concrete straight to a proper disposal site. Whole farmstead to clean dirt is one job, one contractor.
And when the buildings are down, the brush, fence rows, and overgrowth around them usually need to go too. Our land clearing rolls right into the same job, so the farmstead goes from cluttered eyesore to clean, workable acres in one pass.
Barns, cribs, and outbuildings put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old siding, roofing, or pipe wrap. It's common on farmsteads and it's manageable — it just has to be handled the right way, not bulldozed and ignored.
When a building's old enough to warrant it, we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification, and we don't cut corners on it. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Every farmstead is different. The basics don't change.
We walk the whole farmstead, talk through every building coming down, check what they're built from, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Most farm buildings don't need a permit. If yours does, we help sort it out, call utility locates, and arrange to kill any power or water still running to the buildings.
If there's old barn wood, beams, or metal roofing you want to keep, we pull it carefully before the main demo starts so it comes out usable.
The Komatsu works each building down in a controlled sequence — cribs, sheds, barns, bins, even leaners. No dropping things toward the house, the bins, or the fence line.
We break out foundations, floors, and old livestock pits, separate metal for recycling, and load lumber and debris onto dump trucks for proper disposal.
We clear the brush and overgrowth, backfill the holes, grade the ground flat, and walk you through the finished work. Clean dirt — ready to farm, build, or seed down.
If it's old, in the way, and shouldn't be standing, we can probably help.
Old slatted corn cribs and grain-storage cribs taken down, posts pulled, foundation broken out, and lumber and tin hauled off.
Hog barns, cattle sheds, and old livestock buildings torn down, concrete floors and pits broken out, everything hauled off.
Equipment sheds, implement buildings, and lean-tos taken down and cleared so you can reclaim or rebuild the spot.

The whole place at once — house, barns, cribs, sheds, silos, junk, and overgrowth cleared in one coordinated job.
Brush, fence rows, and overgrowth around the buildings cleared so the ground goes straight back to farmable acres.
