Management and Utilization of the North Dakota Grain Movement Data

Principal Investigators:
Kimberly Vachal

Abstract

Grain movement reports from each elevator in North Dakota are summarized to describe distribution patterns and shipment characteristics – including destination, mode (rail or truck), origin, time, and commodity. The data are used to encourage competition within the grain industry and to identify research needs and market trends. Several annual reports and monthly updates are available.
