North Dakota temporarily expanded the use of lower-taxed red diesel for grain hauling and other on-road agricultural work, offering a potential 19-cent-per-gallon state tax saving through November 30. The article says the relief has limited reach because only a small share of farm diesel is used on roads, and farmers operating across state lines face differing rules.
The tax exemption modestly reduces fuel costs for eligible farm transport, but its narrow scope is unlikely to materially change overall diesel demand or prices.
After 27 past neutral policy events, ULSD / Diesel moved a median -1.4% over 5 sessions (41% higher; middle half -4.3% to +2.6%), and -4.6% over 20.
