Mark Hodges, Oklahoma Wheat Commission executive director, will appear on CNBC financial news network at 1:20 p.m. CDT on Friday to discuss the transportation challenges faced by state wheat farmers this year.
A lack of rail cars during harvest was cited by some grain elevator operators as a bottleneck in the delivery of grain this past harvest season to out-of-state shipping points. The situation became critical during late June when some elevators in the Fredericka and Altus areas were filled to capacity and grain was stored in the open ground.
So, CNBC officials asked Hodges to discuss the situation in Friday’s interview. Stay tuned.
