Transportation and Handling Costs for Selected North Dakota Agricultural Commodities for the Far East

The transportation and handling costs were developed for the Governor's Trade Mission to China at the request of Kent Jones, Commissioner of Agriculture. The transportation rates were obtained from several sources including the traffic department of the Public Service Commission, traffic managers of selected companies and the rate quotation desks of railroads. Handling charges were based on personal communications with people in the grain and fobbing trade at both the Gulf and Pacific Northwest. Ocean rates were obtained from Grain Transportation Situation, Office of Transportation, USDA and from industry traffic managers.
