Elevated input costs remain a top concern for agriculture producers, because it tightens up profit margins. One of the key input costs during fall harvest — the price of fuel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, a technology company that tracks prices at gas stations across the country, says the price of diesel is a gloomy forecast. Prices see upward pressure as temperatures cool and heating oil is needed for home furnaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The average price of diesel in Wisconsin has risen from about $4.11 a month ago to about $4.21 a gallon today,” he says. “The worry is that as we get into fall, we are going to start seeing heating oil demand go up, and heating oil and diesel are essentially the same product, and that’s going to put upward pressure on the price of diesel.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
