Livestock Freight Rates At Hearings Prompt Debate
Railroads argue freight rates for livestock are too low, especially in the middle west, with hearings in January. Groups tied to the livestock industry will oppose any rate increases. Railroad Commissioner Charles Webster says higher rates could push more livestock shipping onto trucks as road paving expands. Truck use has surged with 200 mile market reach now common and longer hauls expected on improved roads. Lewis urges freight bases not be tied to fluctuating market prices.
