Conte Warns Railroads on Corn Shipments
Rep Silvio Conte R Mass warned the eastern railroads that New England poultrymen face a severe disadvantage if proposals to cut bulk corn shipments by rail are not adopted. He cited Baltimore and Ohio rate cuts to about 60 percent of current single carload rates, risking about $5 per ton in regional losses amid competition. Conte vowed to follow the issue in the next Congress session, stressing agricultural health for New England.
