Fuel and Propane Delivery in Hale County, TX
Hale County is one of the larger counties in Silverton Oil’s service territory, with a population of approximately 32,523 as of the 2020 census. Plainview is the county seat, with 20,187 residents in 2020, the most populated city in the region Silverton Oil serves. The county sits on the southern Llano Estacado and is a significant agricultural producer. Cotton, grain sorghum, corn, and cattle define the rural economy.
Hale County farms are serious commercial operations. Large-scale cotton production, feedlot operations, and irrigated grain farming drive significant fuel consumption: diesel for farm equipment and irrigation, propane for grain drying, and gasoline for the vehicles and equipment that keep it all moving. A reliable fuel supplier who delivers to your location is not a convenience here; it is a requirement.
About Hale County
Plainview sits at an elevation of about 3,400 feet on the level Llano Estacado table land. The city has the services and infrastructure you’d expect from a county seat of its size: hospitals, a regional commercial district, schools, and Wayland Baptist University, a four-year university that brings students and faculty to the area.
Outside of Plainview, Hale County is deep agricultural territory. Irrigation from the Ogallala Aquifer has historically driven crop production across the county, though like much of the Panhandle, producers are adapting to declining aquifer levels with more efficient irrigation technology. The farms around Plainview range from family operations to large commercial enterprises, many of them running multiple pieces of large equipment that demand consistent fuel supply.
The county seat’s size means there are also commercial accounts (construction, transportation, and service businesses) that need fuel delivery alongside the agricultural customers.
