A simple way you can prepare for harvest grain drying is to assess your storage needs now. Use the Propane Education and Research Council's grain dryer calculator to determine how much propane you will use. Have your propane tanks filled before the harvest season is in full swing. We recommend filling all propane tanks, including those on your home, shop, or livestock buildings.

If we experience an early winter, we will see the propane use for home heat rise and create additional demand. This creates the perfect storm and local propane prices can rise rapidly. We suggest locking in a price for at least a portion of the propane gallons you expect to use. Talk to your local FS Propane Specialist to take advantage of your local propane programs.

We continue to watch the propane supply and demand situation to ensure our customers have propane. However, there is no substitute for good planning. By filling tanks now and preparing for your peak propane needs, you can rest assured that you’ll be ready. You'll have one less headache during critical times.
