Everything you wanted to know about propane will be available here on Agwired.com throughout the day tomorrow. I flew into Austin, TX today to cover tomorrow’s Propane Technology Forum being held at the Railroad Commission of Texas headquarters. The conference will focus on propane innovations for agriculture.

The one-day forum will feature presentations from propane industry leaders, researchers, and manufacturers, as well as equipment displays. A special session on agricultural uses of propane will discuss the use of propane for heat to sanitize grain storage structures, sanitation in poultry and dairy production, and cotton defoliation. Additional sponsors include the World LP Gas Association, ASOCIMEX (Mexican LP Gas Association), and Southwest Research Institute. The forum will include presentations on the following topics.

Agriculture Innovations
* Propane heat sanitation for grain storage
* Cotton defoliation with propane heat
* Flame sanitation in dairy and poultry operations
