Strangely enough Diesel has fallen all the way to $3.72 a gallon here, though the local farmers are still unhappy they are a lot better off than they were a couple months ago. One local farmer I discussed it with Thursday told me he only got the minimum 1,000 gallon fill up he had to have over the summer because he couldn't afford to tie up $40,000.00 to fill his 10,000 gallon tank. And that was at his no tax farm/off road use rate. If he buys today he should save about a dollar off of his August price per gallon once you take the retail vs wholesale difference into account.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
