Trains hauling exported grain are on hold or delayed in at least six states, including Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota and Nebraska, because of the south Texas rail closure. The National Grain and Feed Association said there is no timeline for reopening.
It warned that Mexican cattle feeders could run out of grain within a week.
Stranded rail cars delay U.S. grain sales to Mexico and push surplus grain into domestic markets, which weighs on local prices. Shortages in Mexico could later revive export demand once rail flows resume.
