Idaho Farm Bureau Threatens Truck Haul Over Rail Rate Hike
Idaho Farm Bureau executive secretary John H. Webb warned that farmers may switch to trucking for all farm product hauling if railroads push another 4 percent interim rate rise. He cited repeated rate hikes and a decline in farm prices since July 1947, arguing farmers face a distorted income picture as costs drop slowly for them but not for consumers. Webb and agricultural representatives plan to attend the Idaho Public Utilities Commission hearing on the railroads' latest rate request.
