An agriculture leader says money from the new Infrastructure law will help improve the transportation of ag commodities.
Chuck Lippstreu with the Michigan Agri-Business Association tells Brownfield the law will invest more than 300-million dollars into freight rail infrastructure nationwide. “Frankly, this new rail investment can’t come soon enough for the agriculture sector that continues to both rely on rail but also face challenges in moving products by rail.”
Lippstreu says short-line railroads are essential for getting export products to the class one railroads, but he says it’s still challenging to get adequate rail service.
