I hope you were able to have some fun on Halloween. I trick-or-treated back in the late 60s and early 70s. Maybe it’s my imagination, but doesn’t it seem like it rained every Halloween back then? And wasn’t the candy a lot better too? Except black licorice - that one got traded immediately.
As harvest season rolls on, one thing remains constant: reliable fuel supply is critical to keeping your operation running efficiently. Combines, grain carts, trucks, tractors, and generators all depend on a steady diesel supply during this busy season. We offer timely fuel deliveries to help minimize downtime and keep your crews productive.
Don’t wait until the diesel fuel tank gauge is in the red. Our team is ready to help keep your operation supplied through harvest. If you’d like us to put you on scheduled delivery, monitors are available at no cost. They can give us an update on your fuel situation, which is important when you are hitting the fields hard. You’ve got enough to worry about.
With harvest in full swing and cooler temperatures on the horizon, propane demand is increasing. Now is a great time to check tank levels and schedule deliveries before weather and demand peak. Once again, monitors are available at no cost. Unless, of course, you enjoy wading through knee deep snow to check your tank level. And don’t forget how exciting it gets in the winter when you flip the lid and a family of mice leap off of the tank, about 50% in your direction.
Propane contracts are still available if you want to lock in your price for the winter. Don’t expect the same price as we had this summer, but propane is still reasonable.
As far as diesel fuel is concerned, start thinking seriously after harvest to take a look at next year’s values. The market is currently in backwardation, which means prices in the future are less than what you can buy it for today. I’m not saying future prices are great, but maybe you’ll want to take a small position. Keep in touch with your local Premier energy location.
Members with a loan through CFA or Secure qualify for 0%* deferred billing on diesel fuel until January 15. Fill now, pay later, and keep your cash working when you need it most. It’s a simple way to secure the fuel you need while giving your operation more flexibility. Reach out to one of our Energy Specialists at 608-291-3254 to learn more and take advantage of this opportunity.
To all my fellow veterans out there, I hope you have a happy Veterans Day. It’s your day. Enjoy it. Thank you for your business.
