Save With
Bulk Fuel
Purchases
High gasoline prices have
been a hard pill to swallow
especially (or farmers, who
need large amounts to run
their equipment. For
tunately for them, there is a
way of cutting comers. By
purchasing large quantities
in bulk, they can trim
hundreds of dollars off their
gas bills.
In 1974, farmers pur
chasing in bulk saved an
average 5 cents a gallon over
those purchasing from
service stations. USDA’s

estimates that if all farmers
had bought gas in bulk, they
could have saved $w million
By converting to bulk
delivery, the average farmer
in the Northern Plains could
save |572 a year in gasoline
costs. Average savings in
other areas: Lake States
$210; Corn Bell, $2Ol *
Southeast, $49; and Ap
palachia, $45.
Savings can be sub
stantial, but farmers need
fairly large operations to
take advantage of bulk
buying. Small farms may not
use enough gas to warrant
the expense of building
storage facilities. In 1974,
most of the gas sold in bulk
was to farmers with yearly
sales of $lO,OOO plus.
