Closed Mexican border rail crossings triggering ag frustration
Friday, December 22, 2023 • 2 PM
Farm groups and ag lawmakers are growing increasingly frustrated by the closure of two rail crossings at the U.S-Mexico border and say they haven't received any word of when the situation will be resolved. The rail closings at Eagle Pass and El Paso, Texas, are halting 1 million bushels of grain movement and costing the U.S. economy $200 million per day in lost sales, triggering a domino effect with the backlog of products to move where it is needed.
