West Plains LLC received its first grain shipment of the season at the Port of Brownsville on April 25, a 109-railcar train of corn from Nebraska. The elevator has 3 million bushels of capacity and expects about 220 railcars monthly.
Corn will be trucked to feedlots and to Mexican states.
Reopening a Texas export and distribution point adds corn handling capacity for Mexican feed demand, supporting US Gulf corn flows to Mexico.
After 285 past bullish logistics events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.5%), and +0.8% over 20.
