North Dakota Grain Dealers Association Executive Vice President Stu Letcher said the Norfolk Southern-Union Pacific proposed merger could impact the region. “It’s supposed to enhance competition, but generally what you see with these real-world mergers is you see less competition and it could limit some of our options.” The NDGDA had its own merger vote with the North Dakota Agricultural Association this past week. The results will be announced at a later date. If passed, the merger will be official June 1.
