Re: GAS-L: Heat for poultry houses

[CAVM@aol.com]

You are right, there are a number of options including sawdust, coal and even 
methane from the litter.  I live in Kentucy where we had no poultry industry 
5 years ago and now have 2000 houses in 3 counties.  But we work all across 
the country and we hear the same things from North Carolina, Georgia, 
Arkansas, Oklahoma, etc.

What we want to do is to offer an alternative heating system for the farmers. 
 The money they save in fuel costs may be their profit next year.

 Where is he located? There may very well be lots of cheaper energy sources

 demand increases to the point where they can actually charge for it. Propane
 is a relatively expensive fuel...... it may be worth his wile to convert to
 #2 oil. >>
