Roads that pay: farmers gain from lower haulage costs in Virginia
The piece argues road improvements shift profits to haulers and farmers through time and fuel savings. A Virginia traffic census shows haulage costs halved on 1,232 miles, saving $627,400 annually, while construction cost averages $2,711 per mile. It contends bonds repay over twenty years, with farmers' net gains exceeding costs, and notes Texas also learns good roads are profitable.
