Your Farm Fuel Q&A: 26 November 2025
A factual update on the key questions impacting your fuel costs.
Budget Day Impact — What Farmers Should Watch
The Chancellor is delivering the Budget today, and while we all know farming rarely gets the spotlight, it does influence fuel and operating costs indirectly. Key things to keep an eye on:
Any changes to fuel duty (unlikely, but always worth noting).
Announcements affecting haulage, logistics, or rural transport support.
Energy policy shifts that could nudge wholesale markets.
GBP/USD reaction — a strong pound makes fuel cheaper; a wobble makes it more expensive.
Q: Brent is down — so why aren’t my farm fuel prices dropping faster?
A: Because UK pump/wholesale prices lag by 7–14 days, and suppliers hedge. Brent softens first, diesel follows later.
Q: Will the Budget affect my farm fuel cost directly?
A: Not usually. But it can move the £, and that absolutely affects farm diesel because it’s traded globally in USD. Today is one of those “sit tight and watch” days.
Q: What’s the biggest risk on the horizon for fuel users?
A: A surprise OPEC announcement or geopolitical flare-up. Markets are nervous, and Brent in the low $60s doesn’t usually last long if traders smell tightening supply.
Summary
Fuel is relatively stable, slightly downward, and budget-sensitive today.
Keep an eye on:
GBP reaction after the Chancellor speaks
Brent holding the $60–65 level
Supplier price adjustments mid-week
