Abstract

There is little information on the quantities of corn and soybeans shipped from individual states to various destinations or on the modes of transport used to ship them. To provide information on these flows, a group of land grant universities conducted surveys of 1977 and 1985 grain flows and the results were aggregated into national flows. The purpose of this publication is to provide a more detailed analysis of the Iowa survey of the 1977 and 1985 flows of corn and soybeans by type of receiving and shipping facility, market destination and mode of transport.
