Diesel Contracting

‘Tis the season for diesel contracting! 

Diesel market volatility is one of the largest unknowns that producers and organizations face. The capture of a single oil tanker or an OPEC disagreement can cause massive price swings, leaving those of us in the Midwest reeling. If we learned anything last year, it’s that prices can change on a dime and leave us wondering what might come next.  

Energy trends continue to be bullish as we head into a new administration and as vaccinations continue to roll out worldwide. Though we can never be absolutely certain, we are seeing indicators that price will continue to rise over historic lows seen last summer.

Your cooperative offers contracting options to help weather the uncertainty. Whether you are simply looking to lock in a price for your yearly gallons to build a better budget or wanting to hedge risk with piecemeal contracts in the hope of a summer price swing, we can help you find a solution best suited for your needs.

To the dairy cow, these genetically modified beans provide the same benefits as standard roasted beans in that they are a great protein and energy source. The biggest nutritional difference between the two is that high oleic beans may be fed at a higher inclusion rate without sacrificing the butterfat premium.
