Propane: This Fuel Is Made For Farming!

A fuel that’s better for your bottom line

If you’re a farmer here in southwestern Virginia, you’re probably pretty busy right now. Crops such as corn, soybeans, grain, and tobacco need to be tended. Livestock including cattle, turkeys, and broiler chickens need their daily care. Cows need to be milked. And then there are the few million other tasks involved in caring for land, equipment, and buildings that are all part of a farmer’s workday.

It should be no surprise that 75% of farmers in the United States report that they work 10 hours or more each day. With all the work you do on your farm, you need equipment you can rely on to get the job done while providing you with maximum efficiency with minimum expense.

Blumont Energy can help with that!

We provide safe, reliable propane delivery so your farm will always have the propane it needs to get the jobs done.

What can propane do on a farm?

A whole lot!

Propane isn’t just for home heating or your BBQ grill. It is an amazingly versatile fuel that provides outstanding efficiency while being more environmentally friendly than fuels like gasoline or diesel.

Here are some of the ways propane can be use around your farm, and why it’s a superior fuel choice:

• Heating barns, outbuildings, greenhouses, poultry houses, hatcheries, and more
• Space heating
• Water heating
• Crop drying that is energy-efficient and cost-effective
• Environmentally-friendly flame weed control that eliminates the need for herbicides and lets you get back to work in the fields sooner
• Pest control
• Backup generators to keep your barns, home, and buildings stay lit, warm, safe and comfortable no matter what the weather
• Fuel for forklifts that makes them more powerful and efficient than electric forklifts, while also creating low emissions so they can be safely operated in barns and other buildings

With propane, it’s easier to manage your fuel costs as well as reduce fuel theft that is more common with gasoline or diesel.
