The Propane Pickup and U.S. Farm Report

The propane-fueled Ford F-250 will sponsor the live broadcast of U.S. Farm Report on AgDay TV at the Ohio Farm Science Review. Tomorrow, Kevin Kane, marketing manager at Roush Performance will to farmers during lunch (cooked on a propane grill) about how the propane-fueled pickup provides the power necessary for the farm but costs up to 38 percent less to operate than gasoline pickups because of lower maintenance and fuel costs.

We will be here at Farm Science Review through Thursday. If you get a chance, stop by the Ohio Propane Gas Association building on Swine Avenue to see the pickup, get a T-shirt, and sign up for the giveaway.

Doing Some Farm Work Today

Today the Roush propane-fueled Ford F-250 truck will be taking on more farm chores to show how its 5.4-liter engine provides the same horsepower, torque, and towing capacity as a 5.4-liter gasoline engine. We will be hauling hay and pulling a water tank. After the demonstration, people will have a chance to test drive the pickup to feel its power.

A special thanks to the local 4-H Foundation for cooking lunch and to the Bond County Fair Association for letting us use the grounds.
