Lohmeyer Farm Inc.
Lohmeyer Farm Inc. operates a three generation family farm on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Diversification and changing with the times are what they attribute to keeping a family farm in business. In the past their main income sources were row crops, laying chickens for hatching eggs, as well as feeder Pigs, truck crops and aquaculture. Presently, income comes from two 500 foot broiler chicken houses, 20 acres of hay and a wholesale production greenhouse spanning 1 acre.
After Beck’s constructed their new greenhouse in Atlanta, Indiana, and started receiving their gas heating bills, they realized it was going to be expensive to heat their new facility. Research Director for Beck’s, Kevin Cavanaugh, Ph.D., thought that if they could burn their excess corn, they could reduce their heating bills substantially. That is when they came across the Pelco Biomass boiler manufactured by Pro-Fab Industries.
Isabelle De Menezes operates a successful tomato greenhouse in Boucherville, PQ. Isabelle is always looking for ways to make the family business more efficient and researched burning biomass fuel to achieve cost savings for heating over 50,000 square feet of greenhouse. Isabelle spoke with a Pro-Fab retailer, Andre Belanger, who later supplied a Pelco for her business.
What started as a savings of $5,000 per flock in Glenn Rodes’ turkey brooder house in Port Republic, VA, has increased in proportion to gas prices since Glenn installed a Pelco biomass boiler in 2003. Glenn’s 30,000 square foot turkey brooder in the Shenandoah Valley is the pride of the poultry business. Every 6-1/2 weeks, Glenn introduces a new flock of 35,000 poults into his barn. After heating with propane for one season, Glenn equipped his new brooder with a Pelco 1520 boiler in 2003.
