In October 1973 OPEC’s oil embargo sent world prices from $3 to $12 per barrel—a near-300 % jump that sparked U.S. fuel rationing and a sharp rise in diesel costs. The shock reshaped farm economics, prompting calls for subsidies that echo today as Iowa farmer Ryan Marquardt protests diesel spikes during Donald Trump’s 2026 Palm Beach vote and Georgia rally.
