Irrigation Engines

Propane irrigation engines offer an environmentally friendly option that can save farmers on fuel and maintenance costs compared with diesel. According to University of Nebraska research, modern propane irrigation engines are 20 percent to 30 percent more efficient than older propane engine models. This increase in efficiency can mean cost savings for many farmers. Farmers can earn up to $2,500 toward the purchase of a new propane-fueled irrigation engine or lawn mower through the Propane FEED (Farm Equipment Efficiency Demonstration) program.  Call ThompsonGas at 1-888-TG-Propane to learn more!
