First and foremost, sorry for your loss.

I'm not in on the supply network as a whole, but my guess is that you should be fine for fuel as long as you've got that contract down pat and don't have any fine print to bite you.

There is a certain amount of diesel out there waiting to be used right now. It sounds to me like the feds have made the dyed/undyed business go away for the moment, so right now ag and road have a common market. That won't change the total amount of fuel out there, though. It just means that whichever fuel you get may or may not be dyed, I would think.

Best of luck with the harvest. I trust you have your fingers crossed hoping the crude oil bubble will burst soon. I know we do out here.

Some trucks will fill up on untaxed ag diesel, if they can. Having ag diesel in your tank is no longer proof of evading the taxman. However I think there are bigger worries than taxes right now.

Thanks for the good wishes! I'll be checking in the morning re: the contracts. I guess my main concern is a shortage, as I haven't seen any reliable assurances that it won't occur.

If they shut down anything, it should be school buses (another major user of diesel fuel). Either the kids find another way to school; or they escape a few weeks of whatever it is that goes on there....LOL!

And in a related topic, we now know why I don't run for elected office.
