Grain and Feed Group Urges Rail Efficiency Before More Boxcars
Washington AP The National Grain and Feed Association urged Congress to push railroads to operate more efficiently before adding more boxcars. Rodman Kober warned that nationalizing the rail system would not fix the boxcar shortage and highlighted the need for better railroad performance and incentive programs to generate more car days. The group, representing grain and feed firms and country elevators, said increased car supply without efficiency gains would worsen congestion. Also in Washington AP Agriculture says per capita apple consumption rose to 16.5 pounds last year driven by canned and frozen products.
