> CoBank's Knowledge Exchange report warns that US grain storage and transport will be more complicated than usual this harvest, with space extraordinarily tight and fees higher. The report notes the bumper 21.5 billion bushel crop coincides with trade uncertainty over China. Corn and wheat exports remain strong, while soybean and sorghum sales lag.
