Conditions ripe for biggest farm rail bottleneck yet
Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman warned before the Senate Agriculture Committee that huge grain stocks and forecasts of a bumper harvest could trigger another railroad bottleneck. He said rail car shortages are a chronic problem during bumper crops and could disrupt exports and farm income, recalling last year's snarls in the Union Pacific system across Texas to the Midwest.

Grain backlog risks rail bottlenecks affecting farmers
Agriculture Secretary Glickman warns 93 million bushels stored on ground amid rail gridlock fears. With Texas winter wheat harvest, last year’s crops in storage, and 4.7 billion bushels moved by rail, unreliable supply could reduce U.S. earnings and market share. Kansas expects about 400 million bushels. Union Pacific notes 27,000 grain cars in use with 700 more launching June 1.
