North Dakota Grain Dealers Association Past President Mark Hovland testified before the Surface Transportation Board in favor of the Canadian Pacific-Kansas City Southern merger. “Freight rates in North Dakota are some of the highest in the country when compared to similar hauls out of states with more freight options,” said Hovland. “We feel this action will strengthen competition between those carriers which will improve the economic condition for all North Dakota rail shippers regardless of what carrier they are on.” Hovland, who manages the Fessenden Co-op Association, said this merger will have an impact on rates and service. “It should simplify things and hopefully save you some time and cost.”
