Farming and other commercial businesses require a steady, dependable supply of diesel fuel and gasoline
Cooperatives sell energy for the same reasons they sell feed, seed and fertilizer: to ensure their members have access to the inputs and services they need to run their businesses. United Cooperative purchases propane, diesel fuel, gasoline and lubricants from Cenex, which is itself part of a farmer-owned cooperative with its own refineries in Kansas and Montana. The ability to refine petroleum is a huge advantage for Cenex and for our member-owners. It helps ensure a steady, dependable supply of fuel for our customers regardless of geopolitical events or product shortages. Fuel and propane purchases are also eligible for patronage, or return of capital to our members.
Propane, also known as liquified petroleum gas (LP), is an American-made fuel that is used to power vehicles, grain dryers, irrigation engines, building/water heating, and standby generation.

Farm and business owners can count on this environmentally friendly, low-carbon fuel to meet their energy needs.

Since 2011, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has recorded more than 1,300 crashes involving agricultural equipment that resulted in 678 injuries and 26 deaths. Three scenarios drivers and farmers should know how to handle are passing farm equipment, left-hand turns and braking distance needed at controlled intersections.

As harvest kicks into gear United Cooperative recommends choosing the right tractor hydraulic fluid. Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (THF) is a unique multifunctional lubricant used in complex systems and needs to be well-balanced with high performance base oils, as well as a carefully designed additive package. THF acts as hydraulic fluid, transmission fluid, and gear oil, and the importance of it is often overlooked. Running through so many crucial parts of expensive equipment, can one really afford to use just anything?
The most recent winter brought average temperatures but saw higher demand for propane because Asia had a cold snap during the La Niña weather cycle last year. As a result, the demand from Asian countries for U.S.-supplied LP increased, with more than half of America’s propane suddenly getting a passport to places like Japan, China, and South Korea.
