Strong Demand For Propane On Prairie Farms

The weather has proved to be a challenge for farmers trying to get this year’s crop in the bin, much of the crop is coming off in tough, damp condition.
 
Aeration fans and grain dryers are working overtime to get that crop in condition for storage.
 
Keith Morin is Director of Propane with Federated Co-operatives Limited and says while he can’t give specific numbers, demand for propane has been strong.
 
“In considering the grain drying and propane demand, it’s less than it was last year, which was really an unprecedented year; and certainly the busiest we’ve seen in decades. This year is certainly above average but not quite as busy as last year.”
 
Morin says in preparation for the demand this year they added drivers and strategic storage facilities so drivers didn’t have to return to a central hub to reload.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
