NW Iowa
My 150kbu 3phase LP drying site is 12 miles from my home and 8 from the bulk of my ground
It's 4 miles from the E plant. I can take gravel or hiway to Eplant or bin site.
First priority is 3 phase to me after paying single phase bills.
Next is unload and load times.
Loadout 89bu/min and unload 125-150bu/min
You can stack 1000gal propane tanks or pay for a big storage tank.
I have 6- 1000 gal tanks hooked up.
NG will have less BTU than LP.
For $60K i can bring a line in, but they were hesitant because
they were worried the town wouldn't have enough NG. If me and
the coop were burning at same time.
I'm half mile out of town from Co-op.
