Butz urges ICC to speed fertilizer rail shipments
Secretary Butz urged the Interstate Commerce Commission to direct railroads to provide 3,000 additional covered hopper cars and 1,000 boxcars from now to May 1 to move fertilizer and components to dealers in time for planting. He argued the priority is temporary and should not disrupt other shippers, citing widespread fertilizer shortages across many states and below normal inventories despite higher production. The aim is to ensure farmers receive adequate fertilizer during the planting season.
