An increased demand for propane is prompting Governor Tony Evers to declare an energy emergency in the state.
The governor today said people are heating homes with the arrival of cold weather and farmers need propane to dry their corn. The governor’s order also temporarily lifts restrictions on truck drivers making propane deliveries in the state.
Regulations mandate truckers can only drive 14 hours consecutively before a ten-hour mandated rest period, but that will not be enforced during the emergency.
