Iowa Livestock Rates at Issue in Interstate Hearing
The Corn Belt Meat Producers Association pressed before the Interstate Commerce Commission in Chicago charging Iowa livestock rates are discriminatory and lack competition. Testimony by Commissioner Prouty and statements from George H. Crosby describe western rates as depressed, with Iowa farmers paying 25 to 50 percent more than counterparts in other states. The panel cites about 70 000 carloads shipped from Iowa annually and notes railroads average $3.29 per ton for livestock, far below general product rates.
