As temperatures begin to drop across the region, Ag Valley Co-op is reminding producers of the importance of preparing equipment for winter conditions. One of the most effective ways to protect engines and maintain reliable performance during cold weather is by switching to a winter-ready diesel blend.
Blending No. 1 and No. 2 diesel provides greater cold flow protection, reduces the risk of fuel gelling, and helps ensure machinery starts reliably in freezing temperatures. For many operations, a 50/50 or 70/30 blend offers the right balance of protection and performance throughout the winter months.
For more information on winter diesel and other seasonal energy topics, we encourage growers to explore our Energy Experience playlist on YouTube. These short videos cover everything from recommended blend ratios to fuel quality, cold flow performance, and practical tips for staying ahead of extreme weather. Each update is designed to help producers stay prepared and keep their operations running smoothly throughout the winter season.
Growers are encouraged to contact their local Ag Valley energy representative with any questions about blending needs, fuel delivery options, or what ratio is best suited for their operation.
As the holiday season approaches, Ag Valley Co-op extends warm wishes to all member-owners and their families. The cooperative remains committed to providing reliable service, trusted guidance, and solutions that keep operations running efficiently year-round.
