“…One approach to rail abandonment studies uses either a modified Stollsteimer plant location model with transshipment, or a network model to optimize a set of transportation and storage facilities for handling grain (Tyrchniewicz and Tosterud;Baumel et al, 1973;Berglund and Anderson;Baumel et al, 1977;Larson and Kane;Ladd and Lifferth). Perfectly inelastic supplies and demands for individual commodities, and perfectly elastic supplies of each modal transportation service are assumed.…”

This paper identifies current and developing issues in interregional competition and agricultural transportation. These topics are related to the extent that the cost and quality of transportation services is one major determinant of the economic distance between regions.Interregional competition analysis was introduced to agricultural economics in the late 1930s, with the stimulus of agricultural research funds authorized by the Bankhead-Jones Act of 1935, under the leadership of Sherman E. Johnson and John D. Black. Interregional competition developed as a synonym for regional comparative advantage. Interregional competition analysis is a general set of tools designed to measure regional comparative advantage.

Recent legislative initiatives call for studies to evaluate costs associated with cleaning U.S. grains to meet more stringent standards. This paper reports on a study which developed a mixed-integer programming model of the U.S. sorghum sector to (1) determine the least-cost geographic location for new cleaning investment at the country, terminal and port elevator stages of the marketing system and (2) measure additional system marketing costs associated with implementing the proposed standards. Results show the least-cost cleaning location to be at country and terminal elevators in excess supply regions. Implementing the proposed standard would increase system costs about 2 percent.
