Grain Transportation Report data show rail volumes 26% above average in Q2 and corn export commitments at a record 87.0 million metric tons as of July 23. Diesel averaged $5.35 per gallon in Q2, and barge shipments are running 13% behind 2025.
Record corn export commitments support US corn prices, while higher diesel and ocean freight costs and weaker barge volumes narrow farm-level returns.
