The president and CEO of the National Grain and Feed Association says there haven’t been as many transportation pressures related to the low Mississippi River levels this year.
Mike Seyfert says lower freight transports and slower export demand are two reasons why.
“We are down on export numbers due to competitiveness. It’s helped us manage challenges better, but our members and producers would rather be moving through more challenges selling grain and oilseeds.”
Seyfert says there has been increased transportation pressures in other parts of the country.
