DES MOINES, IA (KELO.com) — An emergency measure on the southern border is creating big problems for farm exports. The Biden Administration closed rail traffic at Eagle Pass and El Paso, Texas. Ryan Sauer of the Iowa Corn Growers Association says that’s having an immediate impact on this region’s farmers.
Sauer says two-thirds of U-S farm goods go to Mexico via rail – and there aren’t any good alternatives.
Sauer says U.S. grain commodity prices will suffer before long. Farm state leaders are pressing the Administration to secure the border and get the railways back open.
