Ruling on Cowpeas Rate by ICC Finds No Fertilizer Class
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled against Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville and Nashville in a case over cowpea shipments from South and North Carolina to New Orleans. It held cowpeas are not fertilizer and must be billed at Class D rates, overturning ACL’s 1 cent higher charge. Corralling cowpeas into Class D aligns with rail freight classifications and rejects the fertilizer classification.
