U.S. Wheat Associates and the National Association of Wheat Growers are disappointed the Surface Transportation Board approved the merger between the Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern Railroad. USW President Vince Peterson said the green light was given without consideration to other agricultural shippers. “We’re extremely cautious of the merger and we just see a lot of land mines that need to be addressed.” The concern centers with competition issues. “We’ve already witnessed higher rates and poorer service and we’re concerned further consolidation might lead to more of that.”
