Aug. 13, 2025 Source: Propane Education & Research Council RICHMOND, VA -- As livestock producers across the country seek cost-efficient, sustainable, and resilient ways to protect animal well-being and maximize productivity, propane is emerging as a critical solution for ventilation and cooling in agricultural operations. With its reduced emissions, off-grid reliability, and proven performance, propane is helping farmers keep barns cooler and animals more comfortable--especially during periods of extreme heat. To demonstrate these benefits in action, propane will play a prominent role at this year's Farm Progress Show, where propane generators will be used to power cooling systems throughout the event grounds. The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) invites show attendees to experience firsthand the comfort and performance propane delivers in high-demand settings. "Livestock comfort directly impacts the productivity of our farms, and propane delivers on multiple fronts, including reliability, sustainability, and power," said Mike Newland, director of agriculture business development at PERC. "Producers need solutions they can count on year-round, and propane consistently delivers, especially when grid power isn't available or dependable." Propane's lower emissions profile compared to diesel or gasoline also means cleaner air in enclosed animal spaces, benefiting both livestock and workers. With increasing interest in sustainability across the agricultural industry, more operations are turning to propane as a reliable energy solution that supports environmental and animal welfare goals. "We're excited to bring propane's capabilities directly to farmers at the Farm Progress Show," Newland added. "It's one thing to talk about efficiency and comfort--it's another to feel it in real time."
