Sask Energy Rates Going Down

[sumdumguy]

Its about time! Natural gas has been about $4.00 for years - I think rates stuck at $14.00 nat gas. must be an election around the corner.

Good to hear it's being reduced for users.

For grain drying this fall we paid 33 cents per liter for propane. (Lower than last fall.)

And did anyone notice the delivery cost rate structure?


That is a significant part of the cost of natural gas service and supply.

Ergo...maybe no decrease at all



Here's another example

SAME reasoning as above natural gas example. But real question is if farmers look at their business in anywhere near the same terms.
