Cheap drought freight rates spur county shipments
County Agent Milton D. Moore reports widespread use of emergency drought freight rates set by railroads, permitting farmers and dealers in Washington county to move hay, grain and feed at 50 percent off. Applications require proof the shipment aids farmers, with goods originating largely from New York State and the Far West. The program, watched by the American Railroads Association, aims to keep savings with the consumer rather than dealers.
