"SAVING ENERGY ON THE FARM"
...ENERGY CONSERVATION IS VITAL TO OUR NATION'S
ECONOMIC WELL-BEING.
THE USE OF HARVESTORE OXYGEN-LIMITING GRAIN
STORAGE ELIMINATES DRYING OF GRAIN INTENDED
TO BE FED TO LIVESTOCK!
Research has consistently shown that livestock can utilize high-moisture grain more
efficiently, helping hold down feed costs and ultimately providing the with
economical meat and rryilk.
LIQUID MANURE STORAGE SYSTEMS CAN ALLOW
LIVESTOCK FARMERS TO REPLACE SIGNIFICANT
manure storage systems, designed to conserve
natural plant food elements that would be lost or wasted with conventional manure
handling methods, can allow livestock farmers to replace significant amounts of artificial
fertilizer.
A ON potentmiSor’savmg inergy* if more mere were to recycle animal slurry
manure to replace energy-intensive fertilizer and store their feed grain in oxygen-limiting HAR
VESTORE structures instead of drying it
There are solutions to the high energy costs and uncertain supplies that have.plagued U.S. far
mers...and these answers are here today! HARVESTORE SYSTEMS & SLURRYSTORE SYSTEMS
ARE ENGINEERED TO PROVIDE LABOR CONVENIENCE, ECONOMIC RETURN, AS WELL AS
SAVING ENERGY.
WE AT PENN-JERSY HARVESTORE BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL
BE AMAZED WHEN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE THAT.THESE
SYSTEMS MAKE IN THE LIFE OF OUR FARM CUSTOMERS.

ONE ACRE OF 150 BU. CORN.
ONE 400.000 GAL. SLURRYSTORE LIQUID MANURE STORAGE SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
SAVE THE ENERGY EQUIVALENT OF 140.8 BUSHELS OF CRUDE OIL PER YEAR. SLURRYSTORE
SYSTEMS COULD SAVE OUR NATION'S BALANCE OF PAYMENTS!
