Propane Keeps Your Farm Ready for Action

If you’re a Samson County farmer, you’ve known for years that the work you do is an essential service. Now the rest of the world knows it, too.

To make sure you’re ready for the challenges ahead of all of us in this COVID-19 spring and summer, you’re going to need all the tools and techniques you’ve grown to rely on over the years – plus a reliable supply of propane gas.

When it comes to keeping your commercial farm productive, efficient, and healthy, propane delivers.

Rely on propane gas in your agribusiness for:

• Crop drying – Propane is the perfect choice as a crop drying fuel, helping you reduce drying costs, reduce crop loss, and improve yield.
• Space heating – Keeping livestock safe and warm through the cool late winter and spring nights can be challenging. Using propane heaters in farm buildings – especially chicken coops that house temperature-sensitive baby chicks – can be an especially effective solution.
• Water heating – Propane water heaters provide a cost effective and reliable source of warm water to clean and disinfect dairy and milking equipment.
• Flame tilling – Torching weeds with propane can be a non-toxic and effective way to control unwanted invasive plants –it breaks down plant material, making the soil even more rich and healthy.
• Irrigation – Less expensive to install and maintain than their gasoline counterparts, propane irrigation engines also have larger fuel storage capacity – which means they can run longer between refills.
• Backup power – Propane backup generators keep animals safe and warm and help keep produce fresh. They’re also cheaper to run per gallon than diesel powered generators and require less maintenance.
• Propane forklifts – Propane-powered forklifts can be used to pack trucks, lift heavy boxes, and transport everything from animal feed to hay bales. Unlike some electric forklifts, propane models can be used in wet and dry conditions, and they last longer and emit fewer harmful gases when operated than gas-powered forklifts.
• Cooking and roasting – You name the cooking task and propane will be ready.
