USDA AMS reported 25,478 rail grain carloads for the week ending May 17, unchanged week over week and up 10 percent year over year. Barged grain fell 17 percent week over week to 734,650 tons for the week ending May 24, though it was 34 percent above 2024, and Gulf ocean loadings rose.
Lower barge volumes and firm rail activity suggest mixed near-term grain movement, while rising ocean vessel loadings support export demand and freight.
