Refrigerator car shortage cripples Minnesota potato trade
Minnesota operators report acute deficits in supply cars for potatoes as winter demand grows. Shippers warn delays and cancellations threaten profits, with railroads acknowledging more cars exist but uneven distribution worsens routes. Lawsuits may follow if orders remain unfilled, and frost damaged stock adds to the bottleneck as markets brace for slow freight and cautious pricing.
Potatoes arrive slowly as car shortage hits Grand Rapids market
Potatoes are entering markets slowly with prices around 85 cents as much stock remains frozen from prior freezes. Some stock was unearthed and offered for sale but stock is largely cleared. Buyers and shippers north of Grand Rapids report a car shortage, with one firm needing 20 cars but limited to four daily. The Pere Marquette line faces broader complaints.

Nov. 24 in Washington the Commerce court upholds the long and short haul clause as constitutional in the interstate freight rate case. Indications point to railroads prevailing in the broader rate actions, with the large reductions not likely to be approved. The opinion notes the commission exceeded its authority in granting a temporary injunction, and a writ of appeal was filed to take the case to the Supreme Court.
