Listened to local farm report that runs at 12:30 and farmers and suppliers are not getting the needed propane to start drying this years corn crop in MN:( Some waiting 4-6 hours to get a truck load at depot.
If no propane now, this winter could reach record high prices if the projected winter weather comes. We here have had a very warm October with tomorrows temp to be 70 and no real hard freezing temps for the upcoming week. Freeze drying is important to help dry the wet corn.
Corn went up a nickel

Oil has been down recently. I always thought the prices of oil and propane rise and fall more or less together. I guess not.
 
Oil co's been hosing us for years and getting away with it. Create a artificial shortage + blame the weather = profit.
