The USDA Grain Transportation Report for the week ending June 1 showed unshipped wheat, corn and soybean balances of 15.44 mmt, with Class I railroads originating 22,083 grain carloads, down 4% week over week. The Port of Baltimore's deep-draft channel was fully reopened to commercial traffic on June 10, with tug escorts now at pilot discretion.
Reopening Baltimore restores export capacity and eases freight bottlenecks, modestly supporting US export competitiveness and reducing upward pressure on barge and rail freight costs.
