Sol’s agricultural journey has taken her all over the Midwest this year, visiting Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, and Indiana during the busy harvest season.

When talking with Mike Newland from PERC about how farmers benefit from using propane, here are some key points to cover:
Cost Efficiency: Propane is often cheaper than traditional fuels like diesel or gasoline. This can lead to significant savings on fuel expenses, allowing farmers to boost profitability and reduce overall operational costs
Environmental Benefits: Propane burns cleaner than conventional fuels, producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This helps farmers meet sustainability goals and align their operations with environmentally friendly practices
Reliability & Performance: Propane-powered equipment, such as irrigation engines, delivers consistent and reliable performance, ensuring crops get the water they need during critical growing periods. Its versatility across different farming systems also supports a wide range of agricultural needs
Incentives & Support: Farmers can take advantage of financial incentives, rebates, and tax credits for adopting propane-powered systems. PERC, for instance, offers programs that offset the initial investment, making it easier for farmers to transition to propane
Versatility: Propane is used in multiple farming applications, including grain drying, space heating, water heating, and flame weeding. It’s also highly reliable for power generation in remote locations
Bulk Fill Opportunities & On-Site Storage: Farmers can benefit from bulk fill programs, allowing them to lock in better pricing by buying propane in larger quantities. On-site propane storage is crucial, especially during peak farming seasons, ensuring a reliable fuel supply without the need for frequent deliveries
Early Season Discounts & Early Tank Fills: Discuss how early season discounts and tank fills give farmers the chance to purchase propane at lower prices before demand spikes. These early fills prepare farmers for critical operations like grain drying or irrigation during harvest
Grain Drying & the Grain Drying Calculator: Propane is widely used for grain drying, especially in unpredictable weather. The propane grain drying calculator helps farmers estimate fuel needs and costs, optimizing drying times and fuel consumption
Building Heating with Propane: Propane is also effective for heating farm buildings like barns and greenhouses, providing efficient and consistent heat, especially in cold seasons
Husker Harvest Days Promo & Incentives: Highlight the special promotions farmers can access during events like Husker Harvest Days, and touch on the Propane Farm Incentive Program, which offers rebates for adopting propane-powered equipment
Irrigation Cost Calculator & Propane-Powered Irrigation: Propane-powered irrigation systems help lower operational costs and ensure consistent performance. The irrigation cost calculator can assist farmers in determining how much they could save by switching to propane
New Propane Equipment for 2025: Encourage discussions on upgrading farm equipment to propane-powered options for 2025, emphasizing long-term savings, improved efficiency, and environmental benefits

Kevan “Flea” Hueftle
We are proud to present U.S. Paralympic Athlete, Rancher, and Father Kevan Hueftle. In 2005 Kevan also known as “Flea” was involved in a hunting accident that led to an amputation of his left leg below the knee. Consequently, Flea struggled with alcoholism due to the tragic loss of his limb and the constant pain he suffered as an amputee. Through perseverance and grit, Flea decided to defy the odds and would eventually compete on the US Track and Field teams and medal as an elite Paralympic Athlete. Kevan is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with limb loss or addiction.
Kevan is a husband, father, rancher, and motivational speaker. He has been a member of the U.S. Paralympic track and field team.
Works at Lazy Creek Beef Company LLC
starting when he was 20 years old. He had been hunting and while pulling the gun out of the truck, it went off, shooting him in the foot. After several surgeries his leg was amputated below the knee.
“To say my life has been easy … there have been parts that have been harder than others,” he said. “I’m still living a dream of mine.”
At the time of the accident, he was on the track and field team at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
Hueftle talked about fitting a prosthetic. He said the first seven years were miserable and the prosthetic didn’t fit. He also talked about the depression that followed the amputation.“I knew it was going to be tough, but it was really, really hard. I was an alcoholic for seven years. I was a person that I would never look up to.”
