[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by MichaelSol</i> <br /> <br />This rate action jeopardized our foreign markets by shipping non-traditional grain into them. Wheat from traditional source areas in western North Dakota and Montana mills differently than wheat from spring wheat growing areas several hundred miles to the east. Complaints and concerns have come back from those foreign buyers. Bottom line is that unusual railroad rate actions can damage both shippers and markets. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Question: Can anyone from the pro-BNSF camp show us an example of BNSF using inverse pricing to skew the Asian import markets? Why is this destructive marketing method reserved only for US produced goods?
