New Newsletter #61 - "Alternate Fuel Systems - Simple Economics " - Download Newsletter Here

Our bout with $2.00/gallon propane early last year caused serious pain in the bottom line for most growers and they are now very much aware of the need to control energy costs. This fall, even though gas prices have eased up a good bit, the number one question we are hearing from growers is "How can I reduce my fuel costs?" Download this newsletter and our alternative heating system calculator/spreadsheet tool to see if alternate heat is right for your farm. Good luck this winter!

Mission: Providing practical, up to date information on design and management of modern poultry environmental control systems and housing, useful to poultry producers, flock supervisors, and industry managers. Poultry housing, energy, ventilation, economics, and management problems are usually intertwined and very complex. In trying to find solutions to these major grower and industry problems, we at Auburn University have successfully used a teamwork approach for several years. The Auburn Poultry Housing Team collaborating in this work includes Jim Donald - Ag Engineer, Gene Simpson - Ag Economist, and Jesse Campbell - Program Manager. Feel free to contact any team member if you have questions relating to their areas of expertise. Please note, however, that team members cannot provide design recommendations or diagnose specific problems through email.
