The EIA reported that the U.S. average on-highway diesel price rose 5.1 cents to $5.185 a gallon as of March 28. Diesel has risen in 11 of the past 12 weeks and is $2.024 higher than a year earlier.
California remains the only region with diesel above $6 a gallon.
Continued diesel gains raise trucking and grain transport costs, which can widen regional basis and pressure feed margins. The steady climb reflects the elevated crude prices that are a key cost driver for the feed supply chain.
