John Willard of the Montana Railroad Association told the Augusta Chamber of Commerce that freight rates for grain, cattle, sheep and wool are designed to give Augusta area producers access to markets on a competitive basis. He said livestock remains a key Montana commodity and rates support its use against competing regions. The existing livestock rates were set when the industry was weaker.

Willard cited the Interstate Commerce Commission ruling that livestock rates cover service costs and a minimal profit, arguing railroads use rate-making to attract industry. He highlighted Montana’s oil sector and industries seeking new plants, noting a $65,000,000 aluminum facility at Columbia Falls as a key example.
