East Coast farmers could be facing an imminent diesel shortage

East Coast farmers, there is a diesel shortage coming.

A spokesperson for Pilot says certain markets need to brace for major supply impacts.

He says the eastern part of the country is extremely low on inventory. The Atlantic Coast is impacted more by its dependence on trade with Europe.

He says he does not think the Midwest and West will struggle the same way.
