Cedar Rapids Grain Exports Hit New High In 1941
The Cedar Rapids federal inspection office recorded 32 454 carloads of grain in 1941, about 50 000 000 bushels, the largest five year total. Corn and soybeans led with 21 650 and 1 524 carloads respectively, boosted by government store shipments and price effects. Wheat also rose, aided by 2 000 000 bushels moved from Kansas City. 1941 figures show a market expanding with food and farm income at historic levels. The Agriculture Department notes record early 1942 production expectations under the Food for Victory drive.
