Propane for Your Farm

Dairy farms and other agricultural businesses trust Hill Gas for their propane delivery

In Brown, Comanche and Erath Counties, farms produce the meat, grains, vegetables and other products that sustain families in the Lone Star State and across the U.S. These businesses rely on agricultural propane for essential functions. Without it, they face lost crops, sick cattle and grain reduced to a moldy, unusable mess.

Hill Gas customers never need to worry about running out of propane. Our delivery team is second to none, and we pride ourselves on knowing our agricultural customers’ business as if it were our own. We take the time to learn what propane-fired equipment and systems your farm uses. Then we build a propane delivery plan around that.

If unforeseen circumstances require an emergency propane delivery, the Hill Gas team is ready 24 hours a day to keep your farm fully fueled.

How Central Texas farms use agriculture propane

Propane serves many different uses on a farm, including:

• Temporary heat for barns, henhouses, greenhouses and outbuildings
• Heating water to wash cattle and equipment
• Fueling irrigation pumps
• Power generation for far-flung structures
• Clearing weeds without pesticides
• Heating of dairy barns, heating water for dairy barns

Propane is quickly replacing diesel on American farms

More and more Texas farms are leaving behind diesel-powered equipment for propane alternatives. This reflects a trend happening across the country. Propane has some significant advantages:

1. Propane burns more cleanly than diesel, with much fewer emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide. It also has a lower carbon intensity. In short, propane is better for the planet and the air your workers breathe.
2. Propane has a long shelf life (virtually unlimited) compared to diesel (6 to 12 months).
3. Propane is overwhelmingly domestically produced. This makes it, generally, more affordable than diesel. Its price is also much less volatile.
