Propane Tank

June 2025

Here’s to the farmers who put dairy products on our table. I grew up on a dairy farm so I’ve got a frame of reference, albeit mine is outdated compared to how a lot of dairy farms operate today. Regardless, it’s not a way of life for the faint of heart. Thank you and all farmers for feeding the world.

If you purchase your propane from us, you know what June means. It’s time to lock in your propane price for next season again. We’re keeping the contracting options the same and best of all, the price will be lower this year. Once again last year, the price went up during the winter but if you locked in your price, you saved some money. I recommend that  you do it every year.

If you chose to auto renew your propane contract, it’s completed and you’re locked in. If you want to change something like add more gallons, call your local Premier energy office and we can take care of you. For the folks who like to send in a check with a paper contract, you may have noticed that the return envelope was from Milwaukee. The check goes directly to the bank to allow for faster and more secure processing.

If you don’t receive a contract by the end of June, please give us a call and we’ll send another one out to you.

Thank you for your business.

Is she carrying a black calf? Is there enough feed inventory on hand to feed the herd and have the desired carryover? What might the income per stall look like at 140% overcrowding versus 125%? The challenge is that no two dairies have the same answer.
