The farm groups belonging to the Agricultural Transportation Working Group are calling attention to rail service issues in Mexico. A letter was sent to Surface Transportation Board Chairman Robert Primus, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai saying Mexico has not adequately invested in the rail infrastructure slowing U.S. ag exports. Mexico is a $30 billion export market for the United States. Groups signing the letter include the Midwest Dry Bean Coalition, National Grain and Feed Association and National Cotton Council.
