The diesel demon
9/7/08

Most farmers would be jumping for joy at more than $12 for a bushel for soybeans.

But as Oklahoma farmers head into harvest season on many crops, all Coweta soybean grower Ron Limon can do is hope $12 a bushel can make up for $4 a gallon at the fuel pump.

"It's kind of a give-and-take situation," said Limon, who farms about 1,300 acres along the Arkansas River. "The prices are good for the crops, but diesel prices are hurting us on everything."

Soy beans are up what three fold
And diesel is up less than double in the same time period
I seems yes the price of diesel is hurting people
But some of these stories seem like the press is trying to stir up things
