Accurate temperature regulation drives performance in agricultural operations. Whether maintaining thermal stability in greenhouses or protecting animal health in livestock housing, an ag-rated line voltage thermostat provides reliable environmental control. At Tempro, we engineer and manufacture durable thermostats built specifically for demanding agricultural environments. Our line voltage thermostats deliver consistent, field-tested temperature control across hog farms, chicken coops, greenhouses, plant nurseries, dairy barns, and produce storage facilities.

In this article, we break down how our ag-rated thermostats serve the temperature control needs of various agricultural applications. We cover how precise thermal regulation benefits livestock facilities, greenhouses, poultry operations, dairy barns, and post-harvest environments. Every section highlights how Tempro products improve productivity, animal health, and crop yield while reducing energy waste and system wear.

Temperature Control in Hog and Livestock Housing

Maintaining stable temperatures in hog farms is essential for promoting growth, minimizing stress, and preventing disease. Pigs are highly sensitive to temperature extremes. Our ag-rated line voltage thermostats reliably switch heating or ventilation systems on and off based on precise temperature thresholds. This ensures comfort in farrowing barns, nursery rooms, and finishing pens without unnecessary energy use.

Technicians can easily integrate Tempro thermostats with infrared heating lamps, circulation fans, and other climate systems. This helps create an optimal indoor environment while lowering overall operating costs.

Climate Management in Greenhouses and Nurseries

Crop performance relies on consistent climate conditions. Sudden temperature changes can damage seedlings, delay growth, and reduce yield. Line voltage thermostats in greenhouses and nurseries give growers exact control over heaters, exhaust systems, and shading mechanisms. Our thermostats withstand high humidity, dirt, and corrosive conditions common in greenhouse settings.

Whether managing a propagation zone or a full-scale nursery, Tempro thermostats help growers maintain consistent temperatures that support healthy plant development and minimize environmental stress.

Thermal Regulation in Poultry Barns

Poultry operations require reliable heat control, especially during brooding. Chicks depend on warm, stable temperatures to survive and grow. Tempro thermostats activate heat sources such as radiant panels, space heaters, or brooders based on programmed thresholds. As birds mature, the same thermostats manage ventilation and cooling equipment to prevent heat stress and maintain egg production.

Our rugged thermostat enclosures resist corrosion and contamination, making them ideal for the demanding atmosphere inside poultry facilities.

Comfort and System Protection in Dairy Barns

In dairy barns, temperature affects both livestock productivity and system performance. Heat stress reduces milk yield and impacts animal health. Tempro ag-rated line voltage thermostats maintain consistent conditions by regulating fans, misting systems, and heaters.

Beyond livestock areas, our thermostats also protect sensitive systems such as pipeline washers and vacuum pumps from freezing in cold climates. This keeps operations running efficiently year-round.

Post-Harvest Temperature Control in Storage Units

Temperature management doesn’t stop at harvest. Produce storage units must stay within specific thermal ranges to prevent spoilage and preserve product quality. Our thermostats control cooling units and ventilation fans to maintain ideal storage temperatures.

Tempro thermostats reduce shrink, extend shelf life, and help producers meet quality standards during distribution.
