I tried to start a thread on LP (see subject line a few below from this morning) but it got a note saying the topic couldn't be posted. (?????)
At any rate, what I had tried to post was that I checked home-heat contract prices this morning and found that my price here in south-central MN has gone up 58 cents a gallon over what I paid last year -- $1.63 a gallon prepaid today vs. $1.05 last year. OUCH! That's the most I've had to pay since 2014, when LP contract price was $1.65. I assume tractors, dryers and other propane use is seeing a similar huge jump. I could speculate on reasons for the big jump, but that would probably get me in trouble. I hope others will post the prices they're seeing and their location; it's an important topic for rural folks everywhere who depend on LP for so many things.

It will follow the costs of natural gas and crude oil as that is where it comes from.

July is when I have found the best price for propane, but who knows this year. They sent me a contract for 1.45 a couple days ago. Maybe they know it's going higher? Should I buy now?

The only thing I can think of is I said the easing of nnalert and growth of the economy is causing a growing demand for propane use, and the concerns about pipelines might be involved as well. Maybe those speculations are too political? They weren't meant to be.

Well, I tried to reply to your question but that reply, too, was listed as unpostable. I'm obviously doing something verboten.
I have to start filing MY important business papers either out in my shop under lock & key, or in my pickup. Wife got into my banker's box to get some papers for income tax and may as well scattered the whole box of paper out in the yard. I had a whole file folder on our LP contracts the last 8-10 years.
The truck was here yesterday. Wife says the driver was here only 2-3 minutes, hooked the hose up but she wouldn't know the difference between him shutting the truck OFF and engaging the PTO to run the pump. Our LP supplier is typically the highest price around, but I've had service needs in the last couple years, I make a phone call, or drive over to their office 4 miles away and I have a service guy HERE within an hour. Our driver really watches what we pre-pay every year, think yesterday he was just making sure we could make it till their fall refill. No ticket in the screen door equals no gas delivered. Our new furnace is NOT one of these ultra high efficiency furnaces but our LP use has really dropped, and we cook & heat water with lp too.
