How does propane benefit my small farm?

Whether you are farming a few acres or hundreds, propane is a versatile, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly fuel that benefits farming. Reducing fuel costs and protecting the environment are especially important to the small farmer who is often only operating a few acres. Wildhorse Propane & Appliances is particularly sensitive to the needs of California’s small farmers, especially those relying on propane in the San Juan Bautista area of San Benito and Monterey counties.

Small farms fill a special niche in the marketplace, but the competition from large operations is still highly competitive. Fueling the small farm with propane is an added benefit for narrowing that competitive gap.

Propane is a clean-burning fuel with fewer emissions than gasoline or diesel. Engines that run on propane require much less maintenance than gasoline or diesel engines. Research and development have also led to the emerging use of renewable propane, which is a byproduct of organic waste that would otherwise wind up in landfills.

Propane is a product of the United States, 97% of the propane used domestically is produced in North America. The United States is also the leading exporter of propane

How does a farm use propane?

Propane fuels the engines that help get the work done, as well as providing heating and cooling for farm operations. Propane’s uses for farming include:

  • Fueling irrigation and water pumps that get life-supporting water to crops and livestock.
  • Fueling light and medium-duty vehicles. Propane-fueled tractors are also making a comeback based on new, leading-edge technologies.
  • Fueling generators.
  • Warming and cooling drying rooms or sheds, livestock sheds, barns, and stables.
  • Flame weed control for controlling weeds.
  • Warming and cooling the farm residences.
  • Fueling propane-powered appliances for cooking, refrigeration, laundry, and more.
  • Fueling water heaters for both residential and farm use.

All of these benefits are made possible by regularly scheduled deliveries right to the farm by Wildhorse Propane.
