The Transportation System's Capacity to Meet Grain Export Demand - 1979/80 Outlook

摘要

Heavy movement of grains and soybeans for export have aggravated the U.S. inland transportation network and port facilities. While the system has met past agricultural demands, it appears that the inland transportation network may be a limiting factor in meeting current grain export demand. With record agricultural exports projected in 1979/80, the transportation system will be under significant pressure to meet the needs of agricultural shippers this fall and winter.
