Episode Details

Agricultural pilots like Reed Keahey are bracing for financial collapse as Jet-A fuel prices skyrocketed from $2.46 to over $4 a gallon, costing him more than $30,000 per fill-up. Farmers face crushing costs too, with fertilizer prices soaring and budgets shattered — many say they’re barely hanging on. The ripple effect is devastating: farm bankruptcies jumped 46% last year. Keahey’s choosing to absorb extra costs rather than pass them on, knowing if farmers fail, his business does too. Fuel prices remain volatile, hovering around $3.18 but climbing again — a brutal, high-stakes survival game across the entire ag chain.
