Diesel Prices Soar in Arizona, Threatening Farmers Livelihoods
Diesel prices in Arizona have surged, with the average now at $5.21 per gallon, a stark contrast to $3.53 just a month ago. This sharp increase is causing significant strain for farmers, who are already grappling with rising fertilizer costs due to global shipping disruptions. The Caywood Farm in Pinal County, a family-run operation spanning 255 acres, is feeling the pinch as diesel powers their tractors for cotton and alfalfa harvests. With water supplies dwindling due to drought, stockpiling diesel is challenging, and many farms are now cutting back on fuel use to stay afloat.
