PERC says propane offers financial and environmental benefits

The director of ag business for the Propane Education and Research Council says propane-powered engines can help farmers lower their input costs.

Mike Newland says propane is a cheaper alternative to diesel.

“Prices haven’t gone crazy,” he said. “Sometimes we see that if we get big cold events, it can run prices up in a hurry. That hasn’t happened.”

He tells Brownfield propane also helps reduce emissions.

“Our fuel just burns incredibly clean,” Newland said.
