Down2Earth Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I didn't need it but they were in the area, East of Willmar, and called to see if I wanted it topped off. $1.49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I've heard the reason prices haven't gone up like last year were:Farmer's not needing needing as much for drying.Not as cold of weather.No supply/distribution problems.Whatya gonna do??? I guess I'm glad I pre-bought anyway so I don't have to think about it till next year. Commodities are always tough to predict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckSutherland Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Farmers as a whole across the country probably used more propane than ever this year by a long long ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well, I guess it all depends on where a person gets their news...For the most part I think they just toss things out there to quiet the masses. I'll be thankful that we have both low gasoline and low propane prices for now. I wouldn't want someone to come up with a convenient crisis to pilfer the country's new found spending power.

Down2Earth Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Wanderer, is it possible for you just to purchase from someone else until the price goes back above the prebuy price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Nope. I'm on auto fill with a rented tank from Federated. I'd have to get a different tank. I'll pull out my pre-buy contract and check on the pricing. I've read in the past if the current price is lower than the pre-buy price, that's the price they'll charge. That's another reason why it always seemed to be a no brainer to pre-buy. It was just a big deal to me this year to come up with the full season fuel expense up front but I wasn't going to risk another year like last year. Now I'm working on getting my HSA funded for my new ACA benefits! Hmm, "funded" = fun dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slawko Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Just shaking my head here and getting that helpless feeling. Recent propane fill at our cabin near Longville, MN with Ferrell gas $2.19/gal. with rented tank and no prepay. Called up Lakes gas and asked for home delivered price...$1.94/gal. Went on the internet and looked up price of propane in Minnesota (gov. site) and for 12/29/14 the price was $1.84/gal. Called Ferrell Gas back and tried to discuss my bill's price but no budging on that one! Looks like propane prices are all over the place and they charge whatever?

dougger222 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I had a ferrell tank at the cabin when I bought it and they gave me a pretty good price for my first fill. My second fill they wanted 35 cents a gallon more than the co-op. One call and I had a co-op tank in my yard and bye bye ferrell tank.

bak2MN Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I own my tank and can buy from anyone. Farrell is always the cheapest or close enough that I use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarGuy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Thought I would bring this topic up again. Called Ferrel yesterday and propane is .99gal., what a difference a year makes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundrave Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I got 150 gallons back in July for $.89 a gallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 If propane is so cheap, why does it cost so much to get a 100 pound propane tank filled? My understanding is a 100 pound tank holds 23.6 gallons. But in 3 different places I was quoted from least to most, $62.50, $78.00, and $108. Even the cheaper price of $62.50 is still $2.65 per gallon, then up to $4.58 per gallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 That, along with the handling of those tanks as I get older, is why I went to the permanent tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotch Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Ya those 100 lb'ers are plenty heavy if I haven't been eating my Wheaties. Can do it; would rather not. Using the skidloader helps but haven't needed to wrassle it since we put hot water in the garage. We have a 500 gallon tank for heat and the gas stove. Some winters wish I could swap it out for a 1000 gallon tank. Cash price got down to $.49 at one point back in July. Unfortunately my tank was still full when the guy stopped to top it off. Right now cash price is sitting at $.99. Contract price had been at $.69 in that same timeframe. Appears to be edging up as the corn drying season approaches. Edit: Was just informed by the local LP purveyor that contracting is over as of yesterday so what you see is what you pay. Still beats $5 all hollow.
