High Freight Rates Halt Hay Shipments Coast to Plains
Freight charges have curbed movement of hay to and from Omaha and Kansas City by more than 50 percent. Witnesses before the Interstate Commerce Commission say higher rates make cutting prairie hay uneconomical, with thousands of acres left unharvested. Water transport via the Panama Canal could lower costs for California hay to New York, contrasting rail rates. Kansas City market traffic dropped by half as hay cost rose to about 30 dollars a ton, pressing farmers to seek prohibitive prices.
