Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry issued an executive order giving farmers and loggers a tax exemption on diesel that is used for off-road equipment like tractors, skidders and irrigation pumps — but normally not on fuel for highway use. Landry’s order declares a state of emergency and allows farmers and timber harvesters to use the dyed, tax-free diesel in highway vehicles through Oct. 22.

“We’re not going to sit on the sidelines while Louisiana farmers are paying record prices to harvest the crops that feed our families and support our economy,” Landry said in a statement.

“With these escalated fuel prices, it’s not a cure-all, but it’s a definite recognition of some of the dire straits we’re going through trying to bring in these Louisiana crops at this time,” said Louisiana Farm Bureau President Richard Fontenot.

As I've been warning, diesel prices are exploding right when it is needed by farmers to complete the harvest and plant winter crops.
