FS Services petroleum manager Stan Nielsen outlines methods to cut fuel use on farms. Tips include using larger tractors to cover more acres per hour, replacing gas with diesel tractors, diesel use about five gallons per acre versus nine with gasoline, and farmers owning tractors largely using diesel.
