Senate panel weighs curbing farm product transport exemption
A Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Subcommittee reviews bills to end the blanket exemption for agricultural products from ICC regulation. Court rulings have extended the exemption to processed farm goods like dressed poultry and frozen vegetables. If amended, any altered agricultural commodity would fall under ICC jurisdiction, potentially raising transport costs up to 60 percent and altering prices for consumers and farmers.
