You might have noticed gas prices starting to pick up a few cents here and there. That's likely to continue into the summer driving season.
"Consumers have changed their driving habits, and demand has shot through the roof," said Doug Werling of Bower Trading, speaking on AgDay with Clinton Griffiths.
"[The increasing demand] doesn't mean gas is going up to $3 on the board or anything like that, but it does suggest that 95-cent low on the futures price isn't going to come back anytime soon," he said.
Fortunately, many farmers locked in fuel prices in the first quarter of the year when energy costs were at their lowest. "If you'd taken advantage of that earlier this year and locked in gas, you're sitting pretty good," Werling said.
