Study: Farmers Pay Disproportionate Amount of Transportation Costs
According to a new study funded by the United Soybean Board (USB) and soybean checkoff, farmers absorb a disproportionate amount of the cost to ship their products all the way to the end user.
Over the long term, agriculture represents a supply-push market in which shipping costs will be passed on to farmers through a wider, more negative basis when they deliver their crop to the elevator, according to the study.
