    Bulk fuel

    What are guys seeing?

    Filling up at,
    Dyed Diesel: $0.925/L
    Dyed Gas: $0.899/L

    Unless the gov't decides to slam the economy closed, I dont see these prices going down in the short term

    What is going down? The only thing I've seen input wise that hasn't taken off price wise is chemical... so far... glyphosate has been going up, but haven't heard much in the way of pressure on most others.

    Steel? Up.
    Fertilizer? Up.
    Building materials of any kind? Up.
    Parts? With steel up, fuel up, and manufacturing supply crunches I see nowhere but... you guessed it. Up.
    Tires? Michelin announced +8% in North America here the other day. Others will likely follow.

      Concerned for next years inputs , I hope we get a decent crop . If not it will hurt real bad . Especially when the added carbon tax kicks in on top of everything.

          Fuel is up 20-30 cents from Feb 1 to the end of February. With government policies the way they are I don’t see low prices again for a while.

              86.5 for summer dyed diesel delivered yesterday. Filled everything since it’s supposed to go up five cents. Feels like spring with the honeybees out and about in the mud today.

                  Shoulder season is coming up. Which should result in the lowest prices of The first half of the year.
                  Texas refineries and Wells are coming back on stream.

                  There is a very firm ceiling on oil prices in North America in the age of frac'ing, everyone is more than profitable at these levels and up, and will take full advantage.
                  About the only bullish cases are Debasement of the currecies, and the end of lockdowns.
                  I still maintain we won't see hundred dollar oil for a few more years yet.

                      Filled up in early February for .811+ hst. Winter fuel, so it will run me well into the warm weather. My own tank.

                      Not sure how much the efficiency drops in warmer weather?

                      Likely still worth it since the increases.

                          Good thing our farm groups monitor this?

                          It seems stupid to push better varieties but lose sight of substantial increases in input costs.

                          While the carbon tax is important so are other unjustified price increases...
