Gift Cards for Gallons

Diesel, Propane & Lubricants

There may be a few holdouts, but I’m willing to guess that most of you have fired up your furnaces for the first time. My propane furnace is running like a top. My next task is to get rid of the multitude of mice who have decided to invade my old farmhouse. I’m willing to use every method at my disposal, up to and including a flamethrower.

If you call in for your propane, please call when the tank reaches 30%. You’ll avoid emergency service charges and our delivery personnel will be able to get home at a decent hour. Better yet, have us watch your tank for you using state of the art monitors that send a message every day to let us know how much propane is in your tank. Then we can work it into our routing system and make everyone happy.

As harvest wraps up, it’s the perfect time to plan ahead for winter and next season. Two areas where we can help you save money and protect your equipment are diesel fuel and lubricants.

Lock in your supply now with Cenex® Premium Diesel Fuel; formulated for superior engine protection, cleaner injectors, and improved fuel economy. Our contracts offer:
Smart pricing that rewards your loyalty: competitive rates plus volume savings.
Affordable tank solutions: lease for just $5 or purchase outright, with monitoring included.
Flexibility: Customize your contract to fit the unique needs of your operation.

In 2025, members earned up to 11¢ per gallon through patronage.

Post-season maintenance is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your shop with a bulk oil system. Pair it with Cenex® premium lubricants; engine oils, hydraulic fluids, gear lubes, and greases, formulated to reduce downtime and extend equipment life. Cenex lubricants deliver proven performance you can trust.

Bonus: Our Gift Cards for Gallons promotion runs now through the end of February. For every 100 gallons of Cenex® lubricants you purchase, you’ll earn a $50 gift card.

Have a happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have a successful deer hunt if you’re into that. I’d also like to wish all of my fellow veterans a happy Veterans Day. Be proud of your service. You’ve earned the recognition.

As producers continue to look for ways to save out–of–pocket feed cost, more attention has been given to a new technology: high oleic soybeans. 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.
