Good Lighting on the Farmstead Saves Time and Injury
Agricultural engineer Kenneth McFate of Iowa State College urges farmers to assess fall and winter lighting. Ensure enough lights to cover feeding and service areas, install effective controls, and relocate switches near busy doors. Protect haymow lamps with explosion-proof receptacles, upgrade wiring with neoprene-coated cable, and use reflectors to boost efficiency. Fluorescent lighting, though costlier upfront, lasts longer and yields more light per watt, increasingly used in dairy facilities. Clean existing fixtures, remove dust, and replace dark bulbs for maximum brightness.
