Its easy to suggest when it's not my money but,,, a 60 ft wide building will most likely give you the least cost per sq ft. Going wider makes rafters costly, going less than 60 gets costly due to sidewalls costing the same regardless of width.

I would also go with a 17 ft eve ht, then you will have a 16 ft inside ht from concrete to ceiling. I have a 17 ft eve ht and have the combine in with tall hopper extensions up and it fits nicely. I hear of people going with 18 or 20 ft heights. Maybe some places have seeders or some equipment that needs the ht but my thinking is why heat all that space that will be empty 99 % of the time.
