Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: This study of the effects of the St. Lawrence Seaway on the costs of transporting United States grain is part of a broad program of research by the Agricultural Marketing Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, to improve the marketing of agricultural commodities. There is much interest among producers, operators of country and terminal elevators and terminal markets, carriers, and other groups in the influence the St. Lawrence Seaway will have on grain transportation routes and marketing channels. This report compares the charges to shippers and the costs to transportation agencies for transporting grain from selected areas of production to domestic markets, and also to foreign markets, via the St. Lawrence Seaway and via other routings. A comparative analysis indicates the transportation benefits that the St. Lawrence Seaway can provide, and defines the tributary areas affected.
