The Future of Wheat Transportation to the Pacific Northwest from North Dakota and Montana

The Pacific Northwest (PNW) ports serve as terminal markets and export locations for significant amounts of hard red spring and hard red winter wheat produced in North Dakota and Montana. The wheat movements to the PNW from this origin territory involve several modes: rail, truck and barge. What modes or combinations will dominate in the future movement of this commodity is a relevant and very important question when the expansion of barge and export facilities is being considered. The purpose of this paper is to speculate as to the nature of the future transportation of wheat to the PNW from North Dakota and Montana.
