Sask Party and Sask Energy are ****ing Farmers Good.

The "aorta" and "arteries".

You would need a smaller localized map of your area to see the local "capillaries".
I have the map of my area.

In the begining 1970s here in alta NUL started by suppling gas to small towns and large consumers like schools and instutions that were in line of their pipeline,then Peter Loughead said lets gassify rural alta so we can sell gas instead of flaring,so the gas coops were formed,there was almost no on farm dryers then except in southern alta,the lines were engenered to meet consumer demand then came some chicken barns and hog barns but the lines were never engenered for those loads,some looping helped but asking for service for anyone is like asking for a rail spot just for your farm.

Probably sticking with propane and laying in a bunch of storage volume so as to unload super b's of propane may be best. Fill in low season.

Natural gas in a tank means either compressed or liquid either of which comes with a whole lot of costs.
There is common sense in setting up near a high pressure line and 3 phase but nothing is free and the logistics of hauling grain to other storage areas is a problem

The point I am trying to make is we are an existing customer since grant Devine put in Natural gas. Yea it changed the farm big time. Oil furnaces were thrown out and a nice clean heating source was put in. Then the new shop was build and wow nice clean heat. Two garages have heat for cars and trucks. Some took and some didn't and the ones who didn't really miss out.

My problem is with the cost of creating the holding tank. Who gets the extra $80,000.00 above the basic cost. Seems that Sask energy is ****ing farmers.

I don't think SaskEnergy installs fūck-all.....contractors do. Jazz?

Saskenergy has mostly their own construction crew but hired guns as well when needed.

What determines who installs which service?

ps, I think I left out where, when and why.

Again priced out a big loop and guess what it’s still 60000 cheaper than the Sask energy quote. Highway robbery.

Did a Saskpower project and they are willing to work with you because they know volume will be used and the payback will happen? This idea that one you have a dryer you might not need every year. Yea it gets turned on for something every year. We also use it as an extra combine, if it flows it goes.

So Sask. Energy would get cash every year.

Just remember this is part of the big subsidy that the Sask party says the urban vote does for the rural. Could you imagine the cost of you weren’t subsidized??? Lmao????
