CNN– Skyrocketing gas prices are hitting everyone where it hurts, and the bigger your tank, the harder the hit. For farmers who have equipment with thousand gallon tanks, one fill up is astronomical. As Vanessa Yurkevich reports, since fuel isn’t the only thing seeing a price hike, some farmers are taking a gamble, hoping to balance out drastic pricing and turn a profit.
