# Grain Transportation Report, November 4, 2021

> USDA's Grain Transportation Report shows Q3 2021 wheat transport costs rose from Kansas and North Dakota to Japan via both Pacific Northwest and Gulf routes. The increases were driven mainly by sharp rises in ocean freight rates, and total landed costs were up year over year.
