CRIMINALLY CHARGED FOR FARMING? What Happens Next. Thank you @SecRollins @BrookeLRollins for caring to reach out. Thank you @johnrich for shedding light on my situation. Knowing your team had my back and was willing to look into the case meant a considerable amount to our family. By the time we reached out we were rock bottom in disbelief just knowing you were there was enough. After 4 days of struggling with Deputies, here's what happened. While I have many opinions on the situation, I'm always willing to work with those who are willing to work with our farmers.

Appeals court puts BIG STOP on Washington’s persecution of Ranching Family.

America is exporting record amounts of diesel while Americans pay a record price at the pump. That should not be happening at the same time. It is. AAA national average diesel: about $6.40 a gallon (Sept. 17, 2026) — the highest on record. EIA weekly on-highway diesel: $6.285 for the week of Sept. 14. August U.S. distillate exports: 54.2 million barrels. Peak week ending Aug. 7: 1.935 million barrels per day — a record. Domestic distillate inventories have been running well below the five-year seasonal average. Refineries have been running near 98% utilization. The Gulf Coast diesel crack spread has approached $100 a barrel — at points over $110. That is not “refinery profit.” It is the market screaming that finished diesel is scarce. Crude matters. WTI and Brent have both been over $100. We’ve seen expensive crude before. We have not seen diesel behave like this, because this time the crude shock is stacked on a refining shock: damaged Russian capacity, restricted Russian diesel exports, disrupted Middle East refining and shipping, and missing barrels S&P has put in the 2–3 million b/d range for petroleum products. The world is bidding for finished fuel. U.S. refiners did what the price told them to do. They ran hard and they exported. EIA says the same thing in plain language: global distillate production fell, global diesel prices rose, and those prices pull American barrels overseas. This is not two stories. It is one market. Harvest does not wait for that market to cool off. Documents, not vibes: EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report / Weekly Retail Diesel AAA Daily Fuel Gauge S&P Global / Platts ULSD and crack assessments RBN Energy on the $100 diesel crack If you farm, haul, or buy groceries, this is not an “oil story.” It is a refining-and-export story. Share it with somebody who still thinks the only number that matters is WTI. Yanasa TV — rural land, food, and fuel. Receipts on screen.
