What is the role of logistic infrastructure? Rail excels at transporting bulk commodities such as Midwestern corn and soybean meal which used to move on this corridor and still moves by rail to our immediate north and south. Resumption of rail operations will increase the resilience and strength of the poultry industry by providing alternatives for climate friendly and efficient delivery of feed ingredients.
