​Getting started with diesel storage has never been easier. Our Diesel Tank Lease Program offers a simple, hassle-free solution for producers who need reliable fuel access without the upfront investment in equipment. The program includes a 1,000-gallon tank equipped with a pump, hose, nozzle, and filter, and delivery is provided at no additional cost. With a minimum usage of 3,000 gallons per year, it’s a great fit for operations looking to streamline fuel management.

If spring weather got in the way of planting your alfalfa, you're not out of luck yet. Summer seeding is still a solid option and it comes with some real advantages when done right. 

August may not be a traditional planting month, but it’s a crucial time for growers looking to establish alfalfa or prepare for fall crops. For most of our trade territory, alfalfa should be seeded by August 30, ideally 6–8 weeks before the first killing frost to ensure strong root and top growth before winter. After September 1, success rates drop significantly.
