As grain dryer demands continue, farm cooperatives who store grain and offer propane services continue to report supply concerns, reports AGPro.
Landus Cooperative in Iowa and Minnesota has 55 grain locations, of which half use natural gas dryers and half use propane dryers.
“Landus Cooperative needs about 15 loads per day to keep our propane dryers running and the location open for receiving,” the cooperative shared in a November 19 update.
"We have had locations that had to close or limit wet corn receiving as a result of the propane situation but also because dryers, regardless of their fuel source, can only dry so fast."
