West Salem Wisconsin farm editor warns of an impending LP gas shortage that could hit Southwestern Minnesota farmers hard for corn drying while Western Wisconsin farmers relying on on farm storage may be less affected.

Weather and winter trends could worsen the fuel squeeze as coal use declines for electricity generation.
