Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to explore alternative methods of positioning wheat produced in the state at export locations. Specific objectives are to: 1) identify potential routes and modes which would be utilized to position wheat produced in North Dakota for export; 2) develop and identify associated transportation costs of positioning wheat at export locations; 3) define and identify specific charges associated with handling wheat at export locations; and 4) describe the export port capabilities in terms of handling facilities and general port characteristics.
