# Grain Transportation Report, January 30, 2025

> A rare winter storm from January 20-22, 2025 brought heavy snow to the US Gulf Coast, prompting ADM and other exporters in south Louisiana to temporarily halt grain vessel loading. Operations at major export elevators resumed by January 24, but 23 vessels were loaded in the week ending January 23 versus a 28-per-week average.
