What Can Propane Do for Your Agricultural Business?

Written on: April 24, 2023

The Coyne team will help you with crop drying, heating, forklifts and more!

In Interlochen, Cadillac, Breckinridge and countless other communities in central and northern Michigan, propane helps agricultural businesses stay in operation. Farms, dairies, orchards and so many other ventures depend on this fuel for a range of vital tasks.

Agricultural propane customers turn to Coyne Oil & Propane to meet their fueling needs. And we are honored to be their trusted propane partners.

What are the benefits of propane?

While there are many fuels that farms can use, propane is more efficient, affordable and versatile. Consider these facts:

• Propane is a largely U.S.-produced fuel, so it’s less vulnerable to fluctuations in global energy markets.
• Propane produces double the heat energy per cubic foot as natural gas.
• Propane burns with exceptional efficiency in heating and hot water equipment, so you get the most from your fuel.
• Propane is non-toxic. In the rare event of a leak, your soil and water will be unharmed.
• Propane contains no methane and virtually no particulate material, and its carbon intensity is lower than almost every other energy source.
• Propane is the energy you control via on-site storage. You aren’t at the mercy of a gas or electric utility with questionable infrastructure.

How can propane help your farm?

Propane serves many crucial roles on farms:

• Propane crop drying is 50 percent more efficient than crop drying using other fuels.
• Propane-powered heating can warm greenhouses and hoop houses for growing. It keeps livestock reliably warm.
• Propane water heaters ensure your animals, equipment and facilities stay clean.
• Propane generators power your outbuildings. Since propane has a virtually unlimited shelf life, you can be confident that your generator will work when you switch it on.
• Propane forklifts combine low emissions and dependable moving power.
• Propane weed control gets rid of invasive plants without using harmful chemicals.
