To Check Standby Generators The winter season brings with it snow and ice storms that can damage and knock out our supply of electricity. Most farmers are badly crippled without electricity so the need for a standby generator is recognized. I know that many poultry farms in particular, already have this equipment. However, if the generator is not in good working condition, it may not do the job in case of emergency. These generators should be run once a week to reassure yourself that it’s in good running condition. If it is a tractor hookup type, then take the time to make that con nection each week. When the power goes off, you don’t have time to run tests of the equipment to make sure it’s in proper working order.
