- Regional shortages of propane, which is used for heating homes and barns and by farmers to dry their crops, have led to emergency declarations covering nine U.S. Midwest states amid late harvests of soggy grains.
There is no nationwide shortage and residential prices for the home-heating fuel recently were about 22% below that of a year ago. Propane carriers faced four- to six-hour waits last week at the Conway, Kansas, propane terminal that is the nation’s second-largest, and drivers were facing restrictions due to the wait, one official said.
Consumers have not faced shortages because most homeowners would have had their tanks filled by now, said Noll.
