It’s interesting that some Poultry
Producers who would never buy the
cheapest tractor in the lot will buy the
cheapest equipment for their birds. If
you want equipment that lasts, that
costs little to maintain but delivers a
lot in every workday, you want what

Ceiling Fans Cut Costs
Ceiling fans can circulate air
that will make you feel cooler and
allow you to set the thermostat on
your air conditioner as much as S
degrees higher.
Your air conditioner won’t have
to work so hard, and the electricity
used by the fan won’t cost you any
more than the electricity to light a
100-watt light bulb.
In addition to being a good sup
plement to air conditioners during
the hottest part of the year, ceiling
fans can replace air conditioning
altogether during moderately
warm weather.
Ceiling fans work best when the
blades are 7 to 9 feet above the

floor and 10 to 12 inches below
the ceiling.
Placing fans so the blades are
closer than 8 inches to the ceiling
can decrease the efficiency by 40
percent
Fans also require at least 18
inches of clearance between the
blade tips and walls. They should
never be hung where excessive
moisture could damage the wiring
or warp wooden blades.
When selecting a new ceiling
fan, consider the warranty, the
availability of multiple speeds, the
blade material, the blade size, the
noise level, and the ease of
installation.
