Agriculture and energy officials are working together to deal with the high demand for liquid propane this harvest season. Iowa Propane Gas Association Executive Director Deb Grooms says customers who use propane to heat their homes were told to top off their tanks this summer.
The president of the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa, Dawn Carlson, says they’ve talked with farmers about the importance of taking steps to have enough propane for the harvest season.
The report from the state ag department says the price of propane was up four cents, for a statewide average of one dollar, 39 cents for a gallon.
