Cost of Diesel Fuel

[ROD TANGEMAN (Tangeman Farms)]

anybody locking in diesel fuel prices for the planting and harvest seasons?

I ll try it I haven't figured out what I burn an hour but on a laser leveling job I can last 3 10 to 12 hour days on 200 gallons of fuel but that's me running tractor no more than 1900 rpms . Since I have switched to power shifts I have saved a lot on fuel consumption. Now if the hired man gets on it and runs wide open all the time you can knock a day off of running time.

sounds like a good idea, tell all your friends who are bitching about the high cost of fuel.. I have too many farmers saying the same story, I might be able to BS one person but not over 24.

If possible we would like 6-8 pieces of equipment to demo doing the same thing, like 6 combines.. That way we can treat 3 and leave 3 as controls.
