Fuel usage is still a cost which farmers need to be concerned about for their operations. The September-October 2009 Issue of The Furrow (http://www.deere.com/en_US/ag/online_brochures/furrow_sep_oct2009.html; page 20 “Diesel Down”) has a good reminder article on considerations about how farmers can minimize fuel usage. The use of a GPS remote asset management system can improve fuel efficiency.


Did you know
that modern diesel engines do not need to be idled for extended periods of time like older diesel engines? A 5 to 10 minute warm up or cool down time is sufficient. Bottom-line, with proper planning and attention to machine management, farmers can reduce annual fuel costs in an attempt to offset increasing input costs.
