Montana Farmers to Gain From West Coast Grain Route
The Montana Society of Equity plans to fund terminal elevators at Warrington Oregon to ship Montana wheat to Pacific markets. The plan foresees 10 to 12 cents more profit per bushel for Montana growers as war ships and freight routes expand West Coast traffic to the Panama Canal and Atlantic ports. The project envisions large waterfront elevators and cold storage, backed by government and railroad support, leveraging Warrington’s deep harbor and rail access to route Western Canadian and U.S. grain efficiently to global markets.
