Central Farm Service Commends Union Pacific – Norfolk Southern Merger, Highlighting Benefits for Agriculture
Central Farm Service (CFS), a farmer-owned cooperative in Minnesota & Iowa, and long-time Union Pacific customer, announced its support for the proposed merger of Union Pacific Railroad and Norfolk Southern Corporation. CFS believes this combination – creating America’s first coast-to-coast railroad – will improve agricultural logistics by providing more efficient rail service from the Midwest to more markets nationwide. The merged railroad will connect over 50,000 miles of track across 43 states under one system, enabling single-line shipments of farm products to reach distant destinations faster and more reliably.
