U.S. Soybean Export Council President Jim Sutter is encouraged by the announced purchase of the Kansas City and Southern railroad by the Canadian Pacific Railway. “On the surface, it looks like it should be a pretty good thing. It should extend the reach for producers up in, particularly up in the northern Midwest giving them good access going down into Mexico.”
Although Sutter does not expect the railroad changes will increase sales to Mexico, he says it could make it easier to move what they already buy from the U.S.
