The Diesel Dilemma: How does Fern Energy prioritise farmers? // Chris Gourley, Fern Energy

This episode features Fern Energy CEO Chris Gourley discussing the current volatile fuel market due to the Iran War and the supply distrubution challenges. He says there is a need for government support for the productive sector amid diesel rising past $4/Litre but also discusses on-farm energy resilence strategies. "Fuel prices are going through $4 a litre," says Chris Gourley, CEO of Fern Energy "Diesel was $1.70 just a few weeks ago so energy resilience should be the hot topic for farmers."
