CALGARY, ALBERTA (RFD NEWS) — Diesel prices have fallen below $5 per gallon, providing some relief for farmers and agribusinesses as the growing season moves into its second half.
Shaun Haney, host of Real Ag Radio, joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss what lower fuel prices could mean for producers and the broader agricultural economy.
In his interview with RFD News, Haney discussed the significance of declining diesel prices for farmers, particularly as fieldwork, transportation needs, and operating costs remain key concerns throughout the growing season.
He also addressed the potential impact of lower diesel costs beyond the farm gate, explaining how fuel prices can influence the broader agricultural supply chain, including transportation and distribution expenses.
Finally, Haney discussed recent comments from President Trump regarding a possible investigation into fuel pricing and allegations of price gouging, as well as what such an effort could mean for energy markets and agricultural producers.
