Planning for the 2023 Growing Season
By Mike Fuerst, Scotland Area Manager
Here we go again, after nine or ten days of thaw, another system decided to put us on edge wondering how much snow this week. I am hoping the trend stays and southern trade area forecast amounts appear to be getting less, but we will not know what that might be at least until it is over as usual. South Dakota weather can be summed up in one word “CHANGE.”
Winter is getting closer to being gone so I am hoping that most grower equipment is ready for the spring season that is upon us, as it looks like it will be very busy. Our stations are still working on truck inspections and can get some more scheduled before season, as well as service work, tires, and anything else more that you may need. We also can get you fuel and propane pricing for spring and summer needs by stopping in or giving one of the stations a call.
With a little bit of time left you can also talk to your local agronomist to make sure all plans are made for the 2023 growing season. As always thank you for all your support past, present and future.

Spring Needs
By Scott Chase, Energy Department Manager
We are into the 2023 year with changes in global oil demands as China slowly reopens after years of anti-Covid lockdowns. World consumption will climb by an estimated 2 million barrels a day, analysts say reopening China is a welcoming boost to the world economy. January had a shaky start with oil spills in Kansas due to tornadoes and a shift from 2022 to 2023. Yet the total product supplied over the last four-week period is down by 10.2% from the same period last year.
It’s never too early to look towards spring contracts. CFC currently has a field master fuel price of $3.25/gallon. It looks like it’s that time of year to start looking at what you need for the spring. Bulk def, oil, grease and tires are always available for servicing needs. Stop by or give a call to Salem Station 605-425-2691 or Scotland Station 605-583-2221. Stay warm and as always, thank you for your business.
