NORTH DAKOTA GRAIN AND OILSEED TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS 1988-89

This report represents a continuation of analysis concerned with the patterns and methods of distributing grain from North Dakota. The collection and compilation of this type of data began in 1956-57. The objectives of this report, like prior reports, is to provide the necessary data base for identifying trends in the distribution of grain and oilseeds from North Dakota. Data were tabulated according to major characteristics which typically describe commodity flows. The major shipment characteristics considered were: destination, mode, origin, time, and commodity. The data used to analyze North Dakota grain distribution patterns for the period July 1988 through June 1989 were obtained from all country elevators in North Dakota. The data source is the North Dakota Public Service Commission's "Grain Movement Report." The same general commodity flow characteristics are considered in this report as in previous reports of this nature. Flow patterns for each type of grain are described in separate sections in the following order: (1) Total grain and oilseed shipments, (2) Hard red spring wheat, (3) Durum, (4) Barley, (5) Sunflower, (6) Oats, (7) Soybeans, (8) Flax, and (9) Corn.
