Farm Bureau Wins Round One In Rate Bout With Carriers
Iowa farmers won the first round in challenging rail rate hikes on feeder cattle shipments. The Chicago ICC hearing dropped a blanket denial of rebates to feeders from 36 Iowa points, though no rebate remains at River, Council Bluffs, and Sioux City. Railroads seek sweeping changes, claiming feeders are used by inland plants, with potential 17.6 percent rate increases and rebate conditions tied to terminal fat cattle sales. The list of 36 rebate towns includes Des Moines Cedar Rapids Clinton Marshalltown Muscatine and Waterloo. Minimum loads would rise to 24 000 pounds per 36 foot car on western cattle, a change Farm Bureau says would penalize shippers. Iowa was represented by John C. DeMar and W A McLintock, with further hearings planned in Salt Lake City Fort Worth and Kansas City.
