Make the Switch.

With diesel prices continuing to rise, there's no better time to rethink how you're fueling your fleet. Propane Autogas can save money, save time, and keep your students safer. Here's the top 3 reason why you should make the switch to Propane Autogas.

  1. Save Money - Propane Autogas is on average about a dollar cheaper than gas or diesel. Those savings and the ability to contract propane out for multiple years leads to less volatility and tens of thousands of dollars in savings for commercial fleets and school districts. (Based on data from Premier Cooperative and the schools we serve)

  2. Safer & Quieter for Students - Gone are the days of exhaust clouds and loud engines. Your kids shouldn't have to worry about headaches on the way to school. Propane Autogas burns quieter and with less emissions leading to a better experience from the bus stop to the bus seat.

  3. Easier Maintenance- Because Propane Autogas burns cleaner, less issues arise from particulate buildup in the engine and injectors. The mechanics we work with have noted less down time for repairs, leading to additional time and cost savings.

Interested in how you, your business, or your school could implement Propane Autogas and save lots of money doing it? Contact our Energy Specialist Addison at 608.479.1357 and stay tuned for our Propane Autogas Event this spring.

I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy the Independence Day holiday with family and friends. Thanks to all of you who called in your orders early and helped minimize the added pressure that the short work week brings. I’d also like to thank all of you who returned your propane contracts by the due date. With a short window of when contracts are mailed to when they are due back, we really appreciate your patience and support. If reading this reminded you that your contract is still sitting on the kitchen table, just pick up the phone and call the energy office nearest to you. Our friendly staff will be glad to take care of you. On behalf of our energy team and everyone at your cooperative, thank you for choosing us to serve your propane needs again this year.

I’m going to start with something most of you don’t want to hear. In 4 months, you will be firing up your furnace for the first time. In 6 months, you’ll be shoveling snow. I’m not suggesting that you should go out and buy that new snow thrower that you’ve had your eye on. However, now is a great time to buy propane for the winter.

Did you know that Premier Cooperative is the largest Up North Plastics dealer in southwest Wisconsin?  Top producers know that the best way to preserve the quality of high-value forages is to store their feed in Up North silage bags.   Up North plastic has 2 to 3 times the puncture and tear resistance of foreign competitor’s products.  With the ever-increasing value of feed stuffs, why risk using anything but the strongest, most reliable, time-tested bag on the market?  Match that with Up North’s outstanding service record, and you have a combination that is unrivaled in the industry.  Trust the protection of your feed with Up North Plastics.
