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.

As corn silage season concludes, it’s important to take a moment to recognize the dedication and long hours that went into securing the feed you’ll rely on throughout the coming year. We all aim to put up the highest quality feed possible, but in the rush of long hours during a short harvest window, it’s easy to lose sight of our true goal. Ultimately, we’re working to produce feed that is consistent, clean, and rich in nutrients. Once that hard work is done, the next critical phase is feedout. Here are a few key things to keep in mind as you move forward.

We had a good ending to our energy division fiscal year, so I’m glad I’m still here this month to write this newsletter article.

Since 2020, we have increased our delivery efficiency (gallons per mile) by 17.4%. We’ve also dropped the number of miles driven by 21% comparing 2025 to 2020. That equates to 66,776 less miles this year than in 2020. In other words, we saved about 2.7 circumnavigations of the globe, conserving over 13,000 gallons of diesel fuel we would have used to power our propane delivery trucks. Less diesel consumption means less pollution. Heck, we’re saving the planet without even trying.
