Iowa Wins Two Interstate Commerce Rulings on Hog Shipments
Commerce Counsel Dwisht N. Lewis announced two favorable interstate commerce commission decisions for Iowa livestock shippers. One cancels a proposed rate increase on hog shipments from Sioux City and Omaha to Chicago, and the other grants Iowa feeders transit privileges equal to those in Nebraska and other western states. The rulings counter earlier efforts to boost Chicago-bound hog rates and reduce Iowa shipping advantages.
