Despite the brutal cold weather and a sharp increase in demand from farmers and homeowners, liquid propane prices are -not- jumping in Iowa, according to Paul Ovrom, an ag marketer at the Iowa Department of Agriculture.

While two pennies a gallon is a very small rise, he says it’s typical to see price spikes during the wintertime.

Even with the cold weather, Ovrom does not expect the record demand Iowa saw in 2013 when then-Governor Terry Branstad declared an energy emergency as propane prices averaged as high as $4.71 a gallon.
