Taxes: You are supposed to depreciate it over the life of the building, different that as supplies. What you get by with and what you do - that is up to you.
Size: I am like you, and dreaming too. You mention 'combine' so I suggest you make it a tad bigger than you have it. Most combine heads are 20 feet these days, if like me you don't have that now, you might in the future. You got a lot of hieght, you might as well have at least a 16 foot wide door. Building needs 2 foot of shelf & 4 feet of working room on each side, so 16 plus 6 plus 6 is 30 wide, and measure how long a combine is, or you ever want to pull an implement in with a tractor - you need it 40 feet deep and that means you can't store anything on the front wall at that.
You just can't work in 24 feet wide, with cambine & shelf & tools, no room to swing shields away, work, etc.
Would be nice to have a small simple door to get a pickup or medium size tractor out the opposite side of the big door. Can be a slider you insulate up real well semi-sealed shut, but just nice to be able to drive through a shop pulling something in if the need arises.
I have a 28x36 wood frame building that I'm debating if I insulate & turn into a heated shop. Would need to enlarge doors. Biggest problem is height, I don't know that I can easily get to 12 feet high. All my stuff fits inside an 11 foot door right now, but - future always brings higher, not sure I will be comfortable with a low shop..... Little small, but like you, hate to spend too much on heat, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
