Beat High Winter Energy Costs
with Corn Stoves from Peterson’s

No matter how much you may enjoy winter, nobody likes the high price of energy that goes along with it. Fortunately, there’s an effective and economical way to keep heating costs from breaking your budget this winter. Corn is plentiful, renewable and inexpensive with a very high BTU, which makes it an ideal source of energy. Corn stoves are increasing in popularity throughout the country, as thousands of people have turned to corn as an alternative to wood and other high-priced fuels.

Peterson’s is proud to present the complete line of Amaizablaze corn stoves, with its energy efficient direct-vent system. Unlike wood burning stoves and gas heaters, which pull oxygen from the living area and replace it with cold air, the Amaizablaze direct-vent system brings oxygen into the stove from outside. This prevents a vacuum from forming and collecting dust and allergens, which are common among wood burning stoves and gas heaters.
If you are looking for a clean, efficient and cost-effective way to heat your living room, workshop or stable, talk to the experts at Peterson’s Country Mill for the size and style of corn burning stove that is ideally suited to your application.

Good Nutrition:
Your livestock’s best defense against severe
winter weather

The colder it gets, the more and more energy your horses and livestock burn to stay warm. As temperatures dip below freezing, it becomes increasingly important to pay particular attention to pastured animals in order to assure that their weight is being maintained. Often, it is difficult to notice subtle weight changes due to the animal’s heavy winter fur. Upon examination, if you notice a decline in weight or vitality, be prepared to alter food and supplement rations to compensate for increases in energy consumption. Peterson’s specializes in nutritionally balanced feeds and supplements for all types of weather and conditions. Our specialists will help you determine a proper feeding regimen based on the environment and activity levels of your animals. And, depending upon your specific needs, we will be happy to assist you in designing your own customized feed mixture to provide for increased nutritional control and well being.

(Peterson's also carries stock tank de-icers!)
