> Canadian National Railway cut November 2026 corn and soybean rail tariffs by $275 per railcar on routes from Gibson City, Illinois, and Ida Grove, Iowa, to the Mississippi Gulf, according to a USDA report.

## Why it matters

Lower November inland freight costs can improve the competitiveness of US grain moving to Gulf export terminals and may support origin bids, although the effect depends on demand and how savings are shared. The scheduled January increases could reverse some of that freight-cost relief for later shipments.
