Farmers are doing what they can to get the fuel they need for planting season at the best price possible.
Wisconsin farmer John Eron says he’s glad they installed more on-farm fuel storage in the early 2000’s. “We’re in good shape to get us through spring but you know, we’re definitely going to have to purchase fuel for the fall harvests. I’m hoping we can make it through side-dress time and we’re actually looking at doing some contracting for fall here already.”
Eron tells Brownfield fuel cost is high, and he did get some delivered at $2.95 a gallon, but his contracted rate for delivery later was higher.
