Louisiana Farmer Receives Unusual Holiday Gift

It might be difficult to gift wrap, but a Louisiana farmer, Frank Burnside of Newellton, doesn't mind. The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) gave Burnside the keys to a Roush propane-fueled Ford F-150 pickup as the winner of its Tank Tales Truck Giveaway contest held last year and gained some valuable market intelligence in the process.

From June through October, agricultural producers from around the country, submitted their Tank Tales about how they use propane in their operations. For sharing their stories, each was sent a pair of propane-branded work gloves and entered into a random drawing for the truck. The farmers enjoyed detailing their experiences, and PERC gained valuable insight into propane use in agriculture.

Propane figures prominently in the 5,000-acre operation of Franklin Plantation, the 100-year-old family farm where Burnside grows corn, soybeans, wheat, and, most of all, cotton.
