BUTLER, MO - The price of propane continued to climb on Friday, making it difficult for many to stay warm. Among the hardest hit are farmers.
Some parts of the country are rationing propane, at a time when many farmers need a refill.
The spike has been blamed on a supply problem caused by farmers using propane-fueled equipment last fall to dry wet grain, as well as a bitterly cold winter and the temporary shutdown of a major supply pipeline in December.
Several propane users are calling on the Missouri attorney general to launch an investigation to see whether there is any price gouging. The Missouri Propane Gas Association is asking the U.S. Justice Department to launch its own investigation.
If your concerned you are urged to call the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-392-8222.
