Freight rates threaten Montana farm output across state
Montana farm leaders warn continued high freight charges will push production toward home use only. Chester Davis cites 1921 six month potato shipments showing 9.7 percent of price absorbed by freight, hay 56 percent, and grain 16.9 percent. He argues wheat at $1 at terminals would yield 71 cents at shipping points, harming producers. The debate ties to upcoming Interstate Commerce Commission hearings on grain and wool rates, with Montana seeking relief and an even break with western points.
