Freight rate cut to half for Texas drought shipments
The Texas Railroad Commission ordered emergency freight rates on several railroads serving drought areas in Texas. Rates are cut to one half of the current tariffs and take effect immediately, applying to corn, oats, hay and sorghum in carload lots. Rates apply only to shipments to member banks of the Federal Reserve System, with certificates stating they are for farmers and stockmen in the county dependent on farm production.
