Agriculture and Poultry Houses

If you’re in the agriculture or poultry house industry, you know that you need a reliable and dependable power source at all times. The quality and well-being of your livestock, poultry and crops depend on having the power to take care of all feeding, cleaning, inspection, harvesting and processing tasks according to schedule. Since the main power source can be at risk of dropping out due to inclement weather, grid overload or aging infrastructure, it’s important to have a backup power source you can count on.

The Importance of Generators for Agriculture & Chicken Farms

In this new age of technology, many of the agricultural and animal raising processes have become increasingly more automated. Power delivery is an absolute necessity when it comes to certain mission-critical operations, such as milking cows, harvesting eggs, and harvesting crops, as well as the overall well-being and tending to livestock.

In this day and age, agricultural and livestock farms, such as hog farms and chicken farms cannot afford to lose power, as it can result in millions of dollars in lost profits.

Commercial generators play a large role in providing reliable, continuous power for farmers and ranchers to continue their day to day operations. This results in mitigated damages such as profit loss, loss of time, crop damage, and overall livestock well-being. With a continuous source of reliable power, farmers and ranchers are able to continue harvesting produce, feed livestock, stay on time for dairy milking schedules, track cow location, and provide proper living conditions for their livestock.

Major Agricultural Industries That Rely On Generators

Dairy Farms
Dairy farms rely heavily on reliable, continuous power sources. Dairy farms employ the use of computertized systems that keep track of their dairy cows’ location, milking schedules, and timetables for which cow needs to be milk. Additionally, electric milking machines rely on stable, reliable, and continuous power sources. If there is a power outage without a backup source of power, the electric milking machine would cease to operate.

Cold storage warehouses that keep milk and other dairy products would also be in jeopardy if there was a loss of power or total power outage. Installing and maintaining a reliable commercial generator can prevent the heavy loss of profits and damages to good and products.

Livestock
Livestock are at critical risk during power outages. Hog farms, poultry farms, and other livestock farms that are packed closely together, rely heavily on ventilation systems that keep the room at a certain temperature and provide fresh air. When a power outage occurs, these animals can begin suffocating or result in unsafe temperatures that jeopardize the animals’ welfare.

These days, feeding livestock relies on a computer system with specific timetables that provide food and fresh water. In the event of a power outage, the livestocks’ overall nutritional well-being could be negatively impacted. Time loss is also another factor, as farmers and ranchers would need to manually control and feed all their livestock, taking away valuable time from other operations.

Harvesting Operations
Harvesting operations are also affected by loss of power outages, as automated water sprinklers may not provide crops with sufficient amounts of water. Sprayers that help ripen fruit by applying coats of nutrient based solutions would also cease to function. Also, for farmers who rely on computerized equipment, including automated picking machines to harvest product would cease to function.

Don’t let a power outage slow you down. Invest in a commercial generator for backup and emergency purposes to safeguard your business and protect your crops & flocks.
