WASHINGTON — The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) has called on the federal Surface Transportation Board (STB) to improve its rules and policies to improve the ability of agricultural shippers to challenge unreasonable rail freight rates.
In a statement submitted to the agency, the NGFA commended the STB for proposing changes and soliciting public comments on the current methods available to shippers to challenge unreasonable rates. But the nation's leading association representing shippers of grains, oilseeds, feed and feed ingredients, and other grain products said the agency's proposals fell well short of achieving its stated goal.
