Diesel Contracting

‘Tis the season for diesel contracting! 

Diesel market volatility is one of the largest unknowns that producers and organizations face. The capture of a single oil tanker or an OPEC disagreement can cause massive price swings, leaving those of us in the Midwest reeling. If we learned anything last year, it’s that prices can change on a dime and leave us wondering what might come next.  

Energy trends continue to be bullish as we head into a new administration and as vaccinations continue to roll out worldwide. Though we can never be absolutely certain, we are seeing indicators that price will continue to rise over historic lows seen last summer.

Your cooperative offers contracting options to help weather the uncertainty. Whether you are simply looking to lock in a price for your yearly gallons to build a better budget or wanting to hedge risk with piecemeal contracts in the hope of a summer price swing, we can help you find a solution best suited for your needs.

Well, we’re finally on the downhill side of winter. In my opinion, we’ve got it pretty good in southern Wisconsin as we normally only see three months of weather that can be brutally cold and that comes in streaks. If you think back to late November when we started seeing temperatures drop into the 30s, it seemed horrible. I spend a fair amount of my time outside, so after the cold snap in January, as soon as it got above freezing, I was ready to break out the t shirts and shorts. It’s funny what you can get used to.

On January 15th, Premier Cooperative held its 132nd annual meeting at WI Riverside Resort in Spring Green, WI. As part of the financial report, Premier CFO Andy Jones reported your cooperative had a very strong year with gross sales of $275 million and local net earnings of $16.7 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to the prior year sales at $308 million and $15.1 million in earnings. While total sales were down from prior years due to declining commodity prices, strong unit growth led by our feed and agronomy divisions, combined with solid performance from our energy and retail divisions helped to improve upon last year’s record local net savings.
