It is strange that in the state of minnesota you have to pay yhr 18.2 cents per/gal Tax on ag use gas! You will get it back IF you apply for the refund. I just don't understand why they don't dye it and make it tax free..... obviously the STATE is not worried about it. Also the u.s. government is afraid that minnesota dosent require dye be added to farm use gas that the feds say ok you gotta pay the 18.2 cent's up front til you prove it was for ag use. I say let the farmers run RED diesel and RED gas in the cars and trucks as they FEED THE WORLD!!!! farmers make up less than 1% of all cars trucks on the road it is stupid that everytime i go past the stock yards they pull me over and "dip" my tank looking for red fuel. I have to have 2 tanks at my house if i wanna buy bulk. I can see dying the tanks but leave farmers and there trucks alone and worrie more about what is comming across our boarders. I only get around 118 dollar refund on my AG gas refund check, it is stupid. They dont dye the gas why should they dye my diesel? but in minnesota they dont charge state or fedral taxes on diesel/propaine/kero/100 high oct. electric runs around 11 cents a kilo watt hour, that is very high for minnesota as my dad only pays 6.9 cents a kilo watt in the summer and 6.2 cents in the winter. Goodhue county co-op charges almost DOUBLE!!!!! oh ya but in 20 years i will get a check evey year for 100 dollars. I whis excel energy would run a line next to theres as i would sing on in a hart beat and run electric everything! as excel can only charge so much as they a regulated by the state.

John, It seems to me you are taking liberal license with the rules of this forum, ie, political discussions. This is a forum for TRACTOR items and related things, Goinf off on boat and gas taxes is just inviting political responses. Go on Yahoo with this stuff!

hold your horses gordo! life is way to short to walk strait line all the time. Anyways i was just wondering how it was in other parts of the world. Besides farmers should not have to pay taxes on any of there fuel even if it is there grocery getter. thats all i was saying. There is a forum on Y.T where i can go to let off steam or talk politics.i'm not a fan off "yahoo". Thats what i like about America EVERYONE has an opinion.

I don't understand it. if it was not for farmers we would not have to worry how much a gallon of gas was as we would be to busy tring to find food and hunt. I say leave the farmers alone and give them a break when it comes to fuel! its hard enough to make it farming nowa days. I guess it dosent make sence to me thats all.

You don't seem too bright to me. If you think you are do you want to explain to me why a farmer should be allowed to operate under different rules than anyone else running a similar business i.e. construction, trucking, door to door traveling salesman? Farming is after all a business or do you want to explain to me why it's not?

I make plastic injection molds for a living. We make a lot of parts that go in Deeres tractors and combines. Should I be able to drive to work without paying any taxes on my gas? After all, if I didn't make those plastic parts for Deere the whole world would starve to death right?

It's idiots like you that have no sense of anything that actually give some hard working farmers a bad name. I'm done here wasting peoples time so don't bother replying. Take it over to the OT board if you want to show those guys how truly ignorant you really are. I hang out there and I welcome you to come and discuss your logic.
