Agricultural Propane Appliances

How propane is used out on the farm

Most of us automatically associate agricultural with crops and livestock. While that is, obviously, what the industry is all about, the industry also involves a considerable amount of appliances, without which certain jobs could simply not get done. These appliances need a source of power and fuel and that is where agricultural propane comes into play.

How agricultural propane is used

One of the many benefits of propane is that it is versatile, meaning that it can used for so many different things. This is certainly evident within the agricultural industry. Here is a glimpse at what agricultural propane can do and the appliances it can be used to power:

• Heat greenhouses, poultry production facilities, orchards, hog barns, farmhouses and water tanks
• Fuel forklifts that are needed to move heavy crops and materials
• Power generators that are used for backup power in the event of a blackout
• Power crop moisture-control technology
• Fuel grain dryers
• Fuel field irrigation equipment
• Help dry and ripen crops and sanitize milking processes
• Power flaming equipment

Why is agricultural propane used on a farm

Versatility and the fact that it can be used for so many different things is just one of the many benefits of propane. Agricultural workers can benefit from propane because it is:

• Convenient: The fact that it is so versatile also adds a level of convenience to any farm or other commercial business.
• Incredibly efficient: Propane-powered appliances are more efficient than their counterparts. This helps business owners save both time and money.
• Cost effective: Thanks to the fact that they are so efficient, using propane appliances is the cost efficient option. In fact, propane-powered appliances can help business owners save anywhere from about 40% to 60% on their utility bills.
• Reliable: Since propane-powered appliances don’t require electricity or power grids to run and operate you can depend on them working even throughout a blackout.
• Safe: Propane has a reputation for being an incredibly safe fuel to use.
• Better for the environment: Propane happens to be clean burning, considered green and is non-toxic. It also has a lower carbon intensity than other energy sources and produces less greenhouse gas than electric appliances.

Other industries that can use propane

Propane’s versatility (in addition to al the above benefits) makes it a solid fuel option for a long list of other commercial businesses outside of the agricultural industry. It is now quite common for commercial propane to be used by construction companies, retail stores, the hospitality industry, landscaping businesses, commercial kitchens, health care facilities and manufacturers.
