There is a long list of things that agricultural propane can be used for on a farm here in Central Texas. For example, agricultural propane can provide power to temporary heating sources that heat barns, outbuildings, barns, greenhouses and henhouses, warm water that is used to wash cattle and equipment and fuel generators that are used for backup power.
Additionally, agricultural propane can power irrigation engines. In fact, many agricultural workers make the energy source their top choice for handling this job. And they have very good reasons for doing so.
Propane-powered irrigation engines tend to outshine diesel fuel powered engines when it comes to performance, reliability, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. Its no wonder countless agricultural workers are choosing the fuel to help them get their jobs done.
There are actually some incentive initiatives put in place to promote the use of agricultural propane, which is a cleaner energy source than many of its competitors. Therefore, farmers who use agricultural propane may be eligible for rebates and tax credits.
Powering engines with propane make you eligible for tax rebates, but that is not the only way using the fuel saves you money. The price of propane is typically less volatile compared to other fuels. You will also find that propane engines cost less when it comes to maintenance. This adds up to a pretty nice cost savings over time as well.
Farmers are able to store propane on location in tanks, which means that they will have a consistent fuel supply even when working in remote areas. These tanks are also portable – another plus when you are out and about in the field.
Farmers need to know that they can count on the forklifts, irrigation pumps and tractors that they need to get their work done. Propane-powered irrigation engines happen to be known for their dependability. They are also able to work in all sorts of tough conditions. Additionally, a single propane cylinder can last a forklift almost an entire working shift. All of this helps productivity and keeps your irrigation schedule on track.
If you are looking for ways to make your farm more eco-friendly, using agricultural propane can be an easy solution. Compared to both diesel fuel and traditional gasoline, propane produces fewer greenhouses gases and particulate matter. It is also non-toxic and therefore not harmful to plants, wildlife or other living organisms in the event of a spill.
