A looming railroad strike could have devastating consequences on growers harvesting crops and relying on transportation.
Mike Steenhoek, executive director of the Soy Transportation Coalition, says a rail strike would impact farmer profitability by disrupting an already stressed supply chain.
“They are often the recipients of the consequences of that in the form of a lower price at point of sale, or a more negative basis, or they have to maybe resort to another alternative delivery that might be more costly for them,” Steenhoek said.
