Feeding The World Is a Big Job
It takes a can-do attitude and a can-do fuel to help feed seven billion people. Think of a job on the farm, and chances are, propane can do that. It's why more farmers than ever are making the switch.
Lower Costs
Propane equipment is built for efficiency, so it can lower your fuel costs for nearly every application, from irrigation to building heat.
Fewer Emissions
Propane can help you meet the strictest emissions goals: it's proven to produce fewer emissions compared with diesel or gasoline models.
Abundant, American
Propane is made in America, and we have plenty of it. Using this clean, American fuel is good for your operation and good for the country.
Easy Refueling
Your propane supplier can customize a fueling plan that is right for you, to provide you with reliable power independent of the grid.
Propane Products for Agriculture
Irrigation Engines
Farmers using propane irrigation engines report savings up to 50 percent compared to diesel engines doing the same job. Plus, new propane-powered engines typically cost 20 to 40 percent less than new diesel engines for comparable power. For many farms, propane engines are cost-competitive to electric pumps while providing independence from the grid.
Grain Dryers
Crop drying technology has come a long way in recent years. Today’s propane crop dryers are up to 50 percent more energy efficient than older models. They also run cleaner, last longer, and are more cost-effective overall without pipeline curtailment concerns.
Agricultural Building Heat
Even during long, cold winter months, when building heat is more energy intensive, propane will heat buildings effectively and efficiently. Propane also delivers the consistent heat needed for healthier plants and animals.
Water Heating
Commercial-sized propane water heaters are ideal for agricultural use. With incredible efficiency, they can provide hot water for cleaning, sanitizing equipment, and much more.
Generators
A consistent supply of power can be critical to an agricultural operation, and propane-powered generators can supply power independent of the grid. When the costs associated with connecting to the grid make electricity or natural gas a poor choice, propane generators are an ideal option for farms.
Flame Weed Control
Propane-powered pest control is perfect for organic farmers who can’t use traditional use pesticides rather than herbicides, or any producers who want to reduce their herbicide use. For example, flame weeding is up to 90 percent effective.
Forklifts
Not every job on the farm takes place outdoors, and unlike diesel models, propane forklifts can operate indoors or out. These low-emissions powerhouses get the job done anywhere.
Light-Duty Vehicles
Want to drive down costs on your operation? When you make the switch from a conventional fuel to clean, efficient, and powerful propane autogas, you’ll save on expensive fuels, additional fluids, and particulate filters.
Medium-Duty Vehicles
Choose from a wide selection of OEM-supported propane autogas vehicles that are EPA- and CARB-certified — without sacrificing the horsepower, torque, and towing capacity you need.
Commercial Mowers
With a propane mower, you can cut costs, emissions, and the grass. They cost about 30 percent less per hour to operate, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 15 percent compared with gasoline mowers.
Storage & Distribution
Propane gives you independence from the grid, because it’s stored onsite at your farm. You can also choose above or below ground tank installation.
