Demand for liquid propane worldwide is at an all-time high. That’s important for Iowans who use it to either heat their homes or dry their crops for storage. The director of sales for C-H-S Propane, Dennis St. Aubin says the recent rounds of tariffs have created some new overseas partners for the product.

St. Aubin says right now supplies are abundant, and that is good because of the wet harvest and the need to get crops out of the field.

It’s estimated 67 percent of Iowans use natural gas to heat their homes, 15 percent use electricity and 14 percent use liquid propane.
