Ep 053: How Corn Moves

Why should you care about the Suez Canal? What about the Panama Canal? Or railroads in Mexico? We all know that the grain on your farm goes somewhere after you take it to the elevator, but how does it get to where it's going? This episode of Kernels is all about how grain moves through the United States. Barges, rail cars, semis, you name it. Listen to Wendy Osborn explain how many semi loads you need to fill a train, or a barge, or a shipping vessel.   About Ohio Corn & Wheat Ohio Corn & Wheat works to create opportunities for long-term Ohio corn and small grain grower profitability.
