Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton signed an emergency order Thursday to address propane and diesel fuel shortages across the state.
The move temporarily relieves certain regulations pertaining to hours of service for motor carriers and drivers providing direct assistance in emergency relief efforts.
Dayton says Minnesota farmers have been challenged by unseasonably low temperatures and rainy conditions, and the order helps ensure diesel and propane are accessible for drying late-harvested crops.
