Six-dollar diesel is hitting farmers at one of the worst possible times. AgCentric Executive Director Keith Olander said many farmers locked in spring fuel needs, but not fall diesel. “The sticker shock is there and you don’t have a choice,” Olander said. “It is going to run through the combine or the tractor this fall, the next four to six weeks, regardless.” Olander said the high fuel costs are on top of a growing sense of fatigue after a season of weather extremes.
