USDA's Grain Transportation Report says corn and soybean export sales for 2020/21 are rising, with accumulated corn exports up 58% year over year and China taking 43% of corn exports. Wheat export sales are also growing slowly.
Stronger export demand raises barge and rail freight needs and supports US corn and soybean prices, which feeds into feed costs.
