Farmers like you are some of the hardest-working people around. You have to be, with a planet of 7 billion people to feed!
More than half of farmers in the United States report that they work 10 to 14 hours a day, or longer.
With that kind of a workload, you need all the help you can get to keep your farm efficient, productive, and profitable. Propane can give you that help in so many ways! It’s clean, greener, versatile, and, because the overwhelming majority of the propane supply in the United States is produced domestically, it’s a fuel source you can always count on.
Farmers all over the world are benefiting from what propane can do in agriculture. It can be used in just about every facet of your work, all over your farm.
Propane provides heating for barns, greenhouses, and poultry houses. It can heat water in those buildings as well.
With propane, you get effective, cost-efficient crop drying so you make the most of your harvest.
Propane can run equipment ranging from forklifts to irrigation.
When you use propane-powered flame weed control, you can get rid of weeds in your field without having to use dangerous herbicides that pollute the soil and water.
And propane can do all of this with your fuel supply right there at your farm. You won’t be dependent on an electrical grid or natural gas supply lines.
With reliable, safe propane delivery from Parker Gas, you’ll have peace of mind that you will always have the propane you need to get the job done.
Close to 90% of the domestic propane supply is created from natural gas processing in the United States and Canada. Some of the rest of the propane supply comes from crude oil refining. In fact, the U.S. has become a net exporter of propane, with some of that exported propane being used at farms all over the world.
Liquid components from the processing of natural gas — propane, butane, methane and ethane — are extracted. Once the propane production is complete, it gets sent to bulk distribution centers by pipelines, tanker ship, trains, trucks and barges. From the distribution centers, it goes to local propane delivery companies like Parker Gas, who bring the propane to you.
