Because everyone deserves to go home from work each day, we have come together as an industry to take a stand for safety. National Stand Up for Grain Safety Week provides a collective industry focus on and commitment to safety. During 2020 Stand Up Week we focus on the theme of Small Changes, Big Impact!

Every year numerous employees are injured or die from preventable hazards while working in grain storage and handling. Safety doesn't need to be big to be effective. This year commit to safety by making small changes in the workplace to make a positive safety impact.

Transportation costs are a core component within the soybean, corn, and related agricultural products supply chains. Congestion and wait times lead to delays that increase those costs and reduce efficiency.

In 2019 the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) conducted a study for the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service with the goal of identifying transportation costs associated with these goods. This research was developed to aid consumers in better understanding the importance of the transportation system and its effects on soybean and corn product prices.

Join David Ellis, Brianne Glover and Max Steadman, all of Texas A&M Transportation Institute, on Thursday July 9 at 3 pm ET for an in-depth look at the research and outcomes.
