Today I joined Senators Franken, Johnson and Klobuchar to press a key federal rail oversight board to swiftly address the poor rail service that has plagued farmers, businesses and communities in North Dakota and throughout the Midwest. A study at NDSU estimated that North Dakota farmers have lost $66 million in revenue since January due to ag shipment delays – this is unacceptable. The rail company needs to do their job quickly so our farmers can get back to doing their job.
