Propane Powers Agriculture Through the Summer
Jun 03, 2025
Written by Greg Delabar, Propane Assistant Manager
As the summer months arrive, propane plays a vital role in supporting Nebraska and Kansas's agricultural operations, particularly in powering irrigation systems during the dry summer months. With Nebraska and Kansas being one of the nation’s top producers of crops like corn and soybeans, maintaining an efficient irrigation system is crucial to ensuring healthy crop yields. Propane is commonly used in irrigation systems because it is a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly energy source, especially for remote farms that don’t have great access to pumping locations. Propane-powered irrigation engines help farmers manage water usage effectively and maintain productivity even during periods of drought. Additionally, propane’s lower emissions make it a more sustainable choice for farmers looking to reduce their carbon footprint while continuing to grow essential crops that feed the nation.
If you have propane needs for your farming operation, contact Farmers Cooperative and let us take care of all your needs.
We hope everyone has a safe and successful irrigation season.
