[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 1397292, member: 969"] That style roof overhang is a pain on an ag building. Rain, dew and frost will cause water to drip off a lot. I'd consider a lower pitch so you can run a gutter to downspouts. Get the water away from the barn. I'm not a fan of those plastic panels on a roof. They expand and contract differently than the metal and leaks are common. I'd prefer a more conventional roof line with the clear plastic in vertical surfaces and eaves all around to keep the water off of them. I have a hay barn with the clear ridge cap and there are times I'd swear there were lights inside. Seems like a lot of money and a lot of work. You'll be hauling a lot of feed and manure, and confinement on that scale brings on issues itself, including regulatory issues for your manure since that applies to any confined feeding operation regardless of scale.
