Most farms have a large fuel supply and they use smaller
50-200 gallon tanks to fuel the tractors and combines in the field, you don't drive the tractor 10 miles back to the barn to get fuel. Also, AG pilots have fuel and chemicals brought to the remote field when they are using the roads on the farm as "airports." -- James H.
