PROPANE SUPPLIES REMAIN TIGHT ACROSS THE REGION, BUT ONE AREA SUPPLIER SAYS THEY ARE CONTINUING TO MEET CUSTOMER DEMAND.
LINDA KUECKER (KICKER) OF IRETON'S SIOUXLAND PROPANE SAYS THEY'RE HAVING TO SEND TRUCKS A LITTLE FARTHER TO GET ENOUGH PROPANE. KUECKER SAYS THE COMPANY'S GONE AS FAR AS MONTANA, COLORADO AND MISSOURI TO GET ENOUGH SUPPLY.
NORMALLY THEY ARE SERVED BY FOUR FACILITIES IN IOWA AND SOUTH DAKOTA. KUECKER SAYS ALL AREA FACILITIES ARE UNDER TIGHTER ALLOCATION RULES., AND THE ADDED SHIPPING DISTANCE HAS PUSHED UP THE COST FOR CUSTOMERS.
SHE SAYS A WARM NOVEMBER HAS EASED PART OF THE PROBLEM, AS FARMERS FINISH UP THIS YEAR'S HARVEST.
